Mad Max - 4 Stars - Great movie, my biggest problem with watching older movies is at times, the quality of the picture and sound effects. This movie would have probably been better OAR as I do not think this was an open matte transfer in any case this is a must watch and I hope this brings on the other Mad MAx movies to Voom Cinema 10.

Reanimator - 4.5 Stars - Great horror flic, good story, a misunderstood medical student devises a formula that can bring dead tissue to life. Although the comprehension factor of the dead creature is directly related to its "freshness".

Bride of Reanimator - 3 Stars both characters from the original film return, as Jeferry Combs tries to continue his work with reanimating the dead. This movie is still decent but it definately makes a turn into the wacktacular. As they try to bring in pieces of other dead bodies to make a completely new reanimated being.
 
White Nights 3.5 Music of Phil Collins you've got to like it. I have seen this money too many times. The high of the movie is at the end. Picture quality was as good as I have seen in other's channel the same movie in HD. I like to story as well.
 
A nightmare on Elm Street 3.0 Nice HD Transfer. The first Nightmare was a hit because it was a new concept and it is still enjoyable.

Night of the Living Dead (original and Remake) 3.5 Sensational thrillers. I loved both and the HD transfer on both were excellent.

Subspecies I, II, III 3.5 in each one. Quite enjoyable sequels if you are into vampires and terror.

Blacula 2.5 this one was an oldie. If you start watching it, you get stuck to the TV to see the end but the concept was not that great. The HD transfer was acceptable.

I come in Peace 3.0 finally had time to see it. I had actually seen this one before and did not remember it. It was quite enjoyable and HD transfer was quite good. So if you are into sci-fi, you have to watch this one.

Amityville: the Demon, Amityville II, Amytiville the Horror 3.0 stars. I watch them all in sequence and it was quite good to see them once again. The HD transfers are ok but not outstanding. But you would really enjoy them if you are into horror.

Dawn of the dead 3.5 stars. Nothing better to enjoy when you are watching zombies. Romero was outstanding in this one and I hope that the new one follow in the same path. The HD transfer was excellent.

The shaft 3.5 stars. HD transfer was excellent. The movie is about and elevator who kills people. Never saw it before and it was quite entertaining.

An American Werewolf in London 3.5 stars. This movie rocks! HD transfer was very good and be able to see it after so many years it was quite a show.

PuppetMaster 1-5 3.5 I love this series. I have not seen them all in sequence which is the right way to do it. But everyone of them varies in HD transfers. It ranges from very good to Excellent.

Night of the Demons 1 & 2 3.0 both of them I liked. You can see that I am a horror/monsters freak. I love them.

Friday the 13th Jason takes Manhattan 2.5 HD transfer was very good but the movie itself was not IMHO. I enjoyed some of the series but not this one.
 
White Nights - 3 stars : This movie wasn't as good as I remembered it being - but still a good watch, if only for the dancing. But did men - even dancers - ever really wear leg warmers? (And does that alone qualify it for DivineHD?) Pretty good PQ, somewhat disappointed in the sound - it was more of a five-channel stereo (with the surrounds real quiet) than a true surround mix. Strong ending.

A Nightmare on Elm Street - 4 stars : Much better than I remembered it being - perhaps it's reputation has been hurt by the endless sequels? Creative, creepy, original, downright clever. And the Johnny Depp graces us with his presence. PQ on par, sound very good. If you haven't seen this in a while (or ever!), be sure to catch it.

Um, Mr. Mota . . . :no
I was just reading your updates to the "Index of HD Movies" thread and realized you failed to give credit to Dvlos for these reviews - and after he was kind enough to respond to my request for others to offer reviews! You credited his Reanimator reviews to me (I haven't had a chance to see either yet), and his Mad Max review you just kinda tacked on to the end of my review. My Mad Max review should end with the phrase, "...and we're lookin' at a five-star." and Dvlos' begins with "Great movie...". I figured that with your usual attention to detail that you'd want to go back and fix these. Keep up the good work! :D

Thanks. I fixed it.
 
No Man's Land 3.5 star. I liked this movie and the conflict that it showed in the middle of a war. The hd transfer was excellent. I really thought that somehow the end was going to be different.

Animals are beautiful people 3.5 stars. quite surprised to see this documentary on HD Cinema. You can see that it was done on film and some parts of if show grainy. It was quite good and I watched it with my kids who really liked it.

One Million Years B.C 1.0 There's only one positive about this movie - Rachel Welch in her young years with a few clothes on.
 
Night Moves - 2.5 stars : Gets an extra star for Melanie Griffith being so young and so naked. The movie itself did very little for me, though Hackman was okay. PQ wasn't very sharp, sound was just okay.
 
Mac and Me - 2 stars : Good PQ and surprisingly good surround sound. Movie sucks. Watches less like a movie and more like a two-hour commercial for McDonald's and Coca-Cola, not to mention Wickes, Skittles, Carnation, Volkswagen, etc. Don't think I've ever seen so much product placement - especially for Mac's and Coke. Ridiculous. Should've been titled "Mac's and Coke".

Purple Hearts - 2 stars: Nothing here that hasn't been done before, and better, elsewhere. The sound is pretty good, though - and the PQ's alright. Ken Wahl cannot act. Cheryl Ladd is pretty, but hardly a candidate for Best Actress herself.
 
The Miracle - 3 stars : Whoa. I was surprised by how satisfying I found this movie - a melancholy tale that kinda leaves ya sad. A sublime soundtrack of saxophone and piano -- and a surround mix to show it off. Add in some good PQ and acting and ya come up with a winner. Nothing really exciting happening - no big payoff, but a winner nonetheless.
 
House of Games 3.5 not bad not bad at all. It was quite good but a little predictable. I knew she was getting scammed. HD transfer was not outstanding but it was ok.
 
Buffalo Bill and The Indians on VOOM

Just watched a delightful film by Robert Altman on VOOM Cinema 10; "Buffalo Bill and The Indians" with Paul Newman, Will Sampson, Harvey Keitel,Burt Lancaster and many others. If the real west wasn't to Bill's liking he simply changed it to conform to the way he thought it should have been. High moment is when he hires Sitting Bull to re-enact Custer's Last Stand and when SB tells him how it really happened he doesn't like it so he re-invents it. Paul Newman is excellent as the whiskey-drinking myth-making legend and Robert Altman tells the story in his own style of overlapping dialgoue (M*A*S*H).

Also playing today is "Our Man In Havana" the Graham Greene satire on government agents and spies during the cold war. Alec Guiness plays a vacuum cleaner salesman who is lured by Noel Coward into helping his government in the spy game. Ernie Kovacs is also along for the laughs.

It's great to see these classic films in HDTV.
 
Lord Of The Flies - 3.5 stars : Not exactly Lord Of The Rings, but pretty good nonetheless. PQ was only okay, but did have some really nice shots. Sound was good - above average. I found the acting to be really bad (I know they're just kids, but damn! -- most kids you come across on the street could do better than some of these guys!), but I really like the story itself, although I've never read the book, which is supposed to be a classic.
 
I've read the book and have seen the movie, the HD transfer is as good as it's going to get. It's hard to watch some of these kid acting scenes and not cringe, but still there morale of the story and the fall of humanity is an interesting reflection against how they first started out. Target audience is really pre-teen/teen I think.
 
In The Mood - 4 stars : Really liked this movie! Good story that keeps moving along - and it's pretty tongue-in-cheek funny in spots, too! Patrick Dempsey is really good as the Woo Woo dude. Picture was a little grainy at times and not all that great, but with such a good tale I didn't really mind - and it wasn't that bad either (I thought the quick shot in the sewer early on was really cool!). Loved the sound, especially the surround mix on the music - jazzy big band stuff that sounded very good and added a lot to the feel of the film.
 
Purple Hearts 2.0 HD tranfers was of poor quality. Main reason, I think, it was not shown OAR. The movie itself was too long and I did not like it. Too much grainy and very soft.
 
Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed - 3 stars : Not a bad way to spend a couple hours. Not only is this not stupid, but you actually get the feeling that they respect the intelligence of the viewer. PQ okay, sound good, werewolf itself pretty bad. The girl who played Ghost really did a good job - and had a good character to work with.
 
Red Corner - 3.5 starts: Controversial as it clearly criticize the Chinese legal system. Perhaps not the best acting of Richard Gere, but Ling Bai is superb. Definitely, a movie worth watching and a good HD transfer.
