The fugue dusty kid The second

The fugue dusty kid

The second track features actors Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis and it obviously gives a different look at the production and details what it was like working on this project from in front of the camera. Both tracks do suffer from periodic instances of dead air now and again but thankfully this is the exception and not the rule. After that, be sure to sift through the two featurettes, the first of which is Calm Before The Storm 15:51, a standard making of documentary that covers location shooting, dealing with the sharks used in the film, effects work, and setting up certain aspects of the production. The second featurette is The Indie Essentials 5:04, a short but interesting look at how aspiring independent filmmakers might want to pitch a project to Lionsgate. Rounding out the extras for the first film are some deleted scenes 9:37, a very brief clip called Bonus On Location Footage 2:50 in which we see Chris Kentis swimming with some sharks, and a theatrical trailer. The only extra for the second film is a Making Of Open Water 2 20:08 documentary which features some decent behind the scenes clips and some cast and crew interviews. The disc also features menus and chapter stops. All of the extras on this disc are presented in standard definition. The first Open Water is a well made and surprisingly tense thriller that plays its cards right the fugue dusty kid keeps you on the edge of your seat thanks to some clever camera work and likeable characters. The sequel, Open Water 2, never manages to hit its stride and is a bit of a mess. Lionsgates Blu-ray offers very little in terms of an upgrade in the video department but does feature decent lossless audio and carry over the extras from the standard definition releases. Its unlikely that fans of the films are going to see the studio go back to the well on Blu-ray for these titles anytime soon, so if you fall into that category, you might want to pick this up but if you dont, this isnt an essential purchase and will instead make a fine rental.

You can post your the fugue dusty kid about this review on the DVD Talk forums. Inevitably, the other leading game consoles will need a high-resolution video disc option, and with the format war now over, theres only one option to be had. So it seems like nows as good a time as any for the two sides to talk shop. A Financial Times report this morning cites Sony Electronics US President Stan Glasgow as saying his company is presently in talks with Microsoft about the possibility of it producing a Blu-ray accessory drive for its Xbox 360 game console. Glasgows comment was verified by VentureBeat reporter Dean Takahashi, who was also apparently seated at the table with Glasgow when he made his remarks. Takahashi reports that he raised an important technological point, however, and raised it directly to Glasgow: Xbox 360 games the fugue dusty kid a fast launch time for discs which Blu-ray may not be able to provide. Thus any Blu-ray drive for the console may very well be relegated to an accessory device for playing movies, rather than the principal drive for reading game software. Takahashi did not say how or whether Glasgow responded to his technical point. That fact alone suggests that any talks between the two companies may be at just the dinner table stage, rather than serious negotiations. The existence of such talks was gently alluded to yesterday by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who in an on-stage discussion at yesterdays MIX 08 conference in Las Vegas told the crowd, We thought there was a lot of merit to HD DVD. We worked to provide an HD DVD peripheral. As the industry moves forward, we want to support Blu-ray. Toshibas moved on, Weve moved on. Well support Blu-ray in ways that make sense. Glasgow was promoted to the presidents role at Sonys Electronics division in March 200 It would be great IF the end-result of this would be 2 systems capable of playing games in both media: PS3 and 3 This would really give game developers an option of what system they want to develop their games for. Its really good for consumers because theyll have to decide which system to buy instead of buying both.
