Maybe its just me, but what happen to the recent release reviews we all used to share in doing? I will kick this off with some of the new ones I have picked up
CARS 2: I took my daughter and two younger nephews to see this in the theater and was impressed enough to want to own it for my home pleasure. As with any animation the Blu Ray was color rich and will push your projection system/ viewing system to its limits. The sound is at its best during the racing parts. Sir TT and his buddies did a great job capturing the sounds of the engines of each type of car, which is impressive and not just using a generic sound for all of them.
Harry Potter Deadly Hollows part 2: Even if your not a fan of the series, I can say it is one of the best ending to a long running series of films that I have seen. No loose ends, no maybe just one more. The film is very dark in mood and most of the filming is dark and will show any short comings in your system. The sound is a good mix with no overbaring use of surround or LFE.
Pirates 4: Another long running franchise that has been able to keeps it leggs on each release. I think Capt Jack can retire as that role has marked Johnny Depp for ever. I even saw it in The Tourist. But the last scene with Penelope was classic, just when you think Jack has a heart, he is still good old Jack. The Blu ray is top notch and colors blend well from bright sunlight to dark shadows in caves. There is just something about movies with ship in the open sea, the sound effect just makes you start rocking back and forth :)
