I have learn something just recently. My wife seems to approve of the BD titles more then the HD-DVD titles. She leans towards Disney titles (she actually will watch the whole movie) and she likes alot of Sony's, Fox's and Warner's releases this year. Here is what she liked and did not like and why:
Casino Royal-- she is a Bond fan. And she really liked the new Bond movie, the story and the actor.
Bourne Supremacy -- She likes these movies but she felt that some of the scenes video was too fast -- made her dizzy. And she did not like the constant movement of the camera angles in circles. And the sound track was way too loud. She won't watch this one again.
Transformers -- will not even consider watching this one -- her brothers drove her crazy when they were kids over these guys.
Blades of Glory -- not a Will Ferrell fan. She does not like stupid humor (although she likes Ben Stiller -- go figure)
Evan Almighty -- she thinks this movie was stupid -- another one she would not go to.
She is not to hip on sports movies and testosterone movies (like Carlito's way) unless they are historically based and the theme sticks with the more personal side and not the sport. She also does not like love stories but she does like movies about women in history or movies about strong women (natch) so she tends to like Jodi Foster movies and is a big fan of Ms Streep.
POTC: The last movie she could not make too much sense of but she likes Depp and she will watch him no matter how bad a movie it is.
Spiderman3 -- she is a fan -- I don't know why but she likes these movies.
Anything Pixar -- she likes to watch animation with the grandson -- need I say more. He likes CARS (I have the SD version) and she thouht it was cute. She will not go to the movies for these as she says she will watch when I buy it.
Disney -- most anything animated or about animals and true stores that is not sports based. And Disney/Pixar first time animation like CARS, Rautouille, The Robinsons she will watch at least once. She does not like new animated movies based on earlier animation. On animation -- she watched Happy Feet with the grandson and she really liked the story and she thought the animation was great. This one from Warner.
Action -- she likes certain stars -- Will Smith, Denzil Washington, Tom Cruise (until his lastes couch outburst) and she will watch their movies. She does like action movies if they have a half-way decent story line.
Bottom line, based on the movies she likes -- the bulk is coming out on BD so she doesn't mind my buying them. She just does not want me replace my entire DVD collection. I will replace about 20% but based on current movies out and those coming out -- ones she wants to see -- most are Sony, Fox and Warner releases. As long as Warner remains nuetral I am safe staying with BD.
How does your WAF stack up?
