We have two sub-par horror flicks with One Missed Call having an unbelievably low IMDB score of 2.8 out of 10 and Sublime is pretty pitiful itself at 5.2. Your best bet this week is the Global Warming documentary from National Geographic, which looks interesting but is no Planet Earth.

We are only hoping that the next week will be more exciting…

The list for Blu-ray movies now include 508 titles, a the newest are as follow:

Blu-ray

* National Geographic: Six Degrees Could Change the World (National Geographic)
* One Missed Call (Warner)
* The Orphanage (New Line)
* Sublime (Warner)

Blu-ray test disc will help enthusiasts and HDTV owners get the best possible picture with tools available on this disc, which is always good.  We have to admit that we don’t know what the difference between this long over due version, and the one previously available on HD DVD, though.

Blu-ray

• Bonnie & Clyde (Warner)

In the following lines you can read what’s the current score on both formats and what new titles are available for each of them.

HD DVD 413 vs Blu-ray 473*

Blu-ray

• Enchanted (Walt Disney)
• I Am Legend (Warner)

HD DVD

• Aquarium Impressions (Navarre Corporation)
• Atonement (Universal)
• Fireplace Impressions (Navarre Corporation)
• Justice League: The New Frontier (Warner)
• Led Zeppelin: The Song Remains the Same (Warner)
• Mystic Forests (Navarre Corporation)

* Blu-ray doesn’t include 20 titles that were previously available from Paramount

Sales for the Warner Bros.’ I Am Legend HD DVD / DVD Combo disc increased 173 percent on Wed. evening to rank as the No. 19 best-selling product in the Movies & TV division. The title carries a list price of $35.99. It will be released on Apr. 8. By comparison, the Blu-ray disc version sells for $24.99.

The advantage of the HD DVD version is in both HD DVD and DVD version of the film on the same disc, so you can watch the film on standard DVD player also.

Other interesting titles include Dogma, I, Robot and the Independance Day, which is highly anticipated title for many HD owners out there. Statistics are telling us that this week Blu-ray family got bigger by 10 new titles and HD DVD got only 3 new titles, which is mighty fine figure for a dead HD format. HD DVD would be bigger by one more title, Jerry Seinfeld shaped “Bee Movie”, but since Dreamworks discontinued production of HD DVD titles and turned “blue”, we won’t see this film in HD soon.

Total sum now is:
HD DVD 407 vs Blu-ray 471*

* – Blu-ray total does not reflect 32 Paramount titles that were previously officially available, but no more.
