The Top 10 Blu-ray Movies ~~ Number One ~~ Casino Royale (Sony)
2-Disc Collector's Edition James Bond Film
We all know this story, based on Ian Fleming's novel that introduced Agent 007 into a Cold War World. Amazon says that it is, "the most brutal and viscerally exciting James Bond film since Sean Connery left Her Majesty's Secret Service."

Casino Royale Blu-ray Movie Reviews
- Blu-ray Review: Casino Royale (2006) | High-Def Digest
- High-Def Digest gives Casino Royale a bit of a mixed review. It praises the story saying that this Bond story restored the sense of urgency and consequence to the story. It, however, gives the blu-ray format a bit of a mixed review saying that the soundtrack is excellent and holds up to blu-ray; that they liked the transfer to blu-ray (rather than loving it); and that they enjoyed the extras. They finish by saying that, if you are a fan of James Bond, Casino Royale is a must-watch in high definition.
- Casino Royale Blu-ray Movie Review by DVD Talk Review
- DVD Talk Review says that Casino Royale is a terrific part of the James Bond franchise and that the blu-ray features excellent picture and sound and some interesting supplements. Highly recommended.
- Casino Royale Blu-ray Movie Review By Chris Boylan on Big Picture Big Sound
- Mr. Boylan's final thoughts on Casino Royale include calling it a stunning visual and audio at home. He even goes so far as to say that the experience of this movie may be better than that at your home theatre. I expect that is why this movie made Sound and Vision Magazine's list.
The Top 10 Blu-ray Movies ~~ Number Two ~~ 2001 A Space Odyssey (Warner)
Rated G ~~ In Stock & Ready To Ship!
Amazon says that this film has spectacular, painstakingly authentic special effects that have stood up with the passage of time and that this film is a cinematic milestone.
Sound & Vision Magazine says that this movie looks better on this Blu-ray disc than it has looked since 1968.
"Admittedly, '2001: A Space Odyssey' isn't for everyone -- but in my opinion it's the single most important science fiction film in the history of cinema."

300 Blu-ray Movie Review

- This is an excellent and detailed review by High-Def Digest. They say that this blu-ray disc is a very fine Blu-ray release with solid video, 'kick-ass' audio and sufficient supplements to be called special edition.
- Blu-ray.com

- High-Def Digest
- Are you skeptical about a movie about rats cooking in a restaurant? Well, set your skepticism aside and check out this review. Author Peter M. Bracke says Ratatouille is a huge Pixar accomplishment -- "adventurous, witty, visually captivating and utterly charming." The blu-ray has perfect video, audio and extras which, by the way, this review is also full of!
- HomeTheaterSpot.Com
- Chad Varnadore of HomeTheaterSpot.com gives Ratatouille blu-ray 5 paws up! He said that both the audio and video are breathtaking and that he's not sure how they could have made this look or sound any better. Plus, the extras add more! "Animated storytelling just doesn't get any better. And neither do high def discs."
- Den of Geek
- Simon Brew says that this is the best-looking HD disc he has seen because of the stunning level of detail. The sound is strong (although not in action-movie style) and the extras are plenty. Pixar's best film to date.

- High-Def Digest Blu-ray Review
- As the first Warner domestic high-def 'Harry Potter' release to come our way for review, this Blu-ray edition of 'Order of the Phoenix' is an excellent start, boasting exceptional video and audio.
- Future Movies Blu-ray Review
- This film was made for the HD market and simply put it looks stunning. While some transfers to Blu Ray don't seem to do the extra storage capacity justice, Phoenix is laid out for you at 1080p High Definition with a range of audio settings and just jumped off the screen, particularly if using a nice been flat screen and an HDMI cable.
- DVD Talk Blu-ray Review
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the best film in the series since Alfonso Cuaron's brilliant entry, Prisoner of Azkaban. With tight pacing and thrilling execution, Order of the Phoenix propels Harry Potter's story forward with excitement and panache. The Blu-ray offers sparkling picture and tremendous sound, but is missing several key features only available on the HD DVD. Highly Recommended.
