Default 'From Hell' - High-Def Digest review

Just posted Kenneth's review of 'From Hell.' Although opinions on the film itself differ, Kenneth says this new Blu-ray release features a one-two punch of a stunning video transfer and a powerful DTS-HD MA mix.

So is this review one of HDD's first of a full-blown DTS-HD MA lossless track?

Sweet. This had been announced for Australia, then when the U.S Blu-ray was delayed so did we. No street date for us yet, hopefully we get it soon

Watched this last night. I must agree, the PQ is top notch and the AQ is on par with all the other Fox releases.

I like the movie, but there's certainly no arguing with Alan Moore's wanting to take his name off it. The movie has absolutely nothing in common with his graphic novel.

I appreciate them both for what they are, but the movie really shouldn't claim to be based on his writing.
