Fred Claus on Blu-ray, don't ask why I ended up buying that, but to my surprise it's not that bad, paul giamatti in the fat suit really comes across as Santa and Vince Vaughn is the same as always, the dialog could have been a bit wittier but the addition of Kevin Spacey as a villain was brilliant, the guy makes it like a villain from a comic book, all maniacal and scheming, it is of course a movie your girl will like, I was rather surprised at a few spots, one comes to mind in particular, if you saw superman returns, you know about kevin spacey as Lex Luthor... just take a look closely at a certain scene near the end, it was a good thing they did with that scene but then again this is Paul Giamatti and Kevin Spacey we are talking about, 2 great actors that can pull something like that off, Vince... well he is just Vince, the picture was crisp, colors processed to look like Cellulose although the film was made on Digital media, the result is nice, on a projector you will most likely notice some shadowing but is not too much, this is one of the first movies encoded with full HD t-vf codec for sound so it sounds good, and you can stop worrying as the volume never gets a huge boost that makes you lower the sound

if you have small children, or someone you want to impress with your (in my case fake) sensitivity, you can watch this, although I'd skip it if you are an action junkie as there is none here

up on cue next: the earth VS the flying saucers/remastered/colored
