Default What happened To "The Longest Day" Review?

Are ya'll planning on posting it tomorrow on D-Day itself maybe?
I finally got a copy today, and am certainly interested to see what the reviewer's here have to say.

Here is my review. Don't bother buying this in BD. The enhancements only exacerbate the backdrops vs the area where the actors are doing their thing. Almost gives it a hokey appearance I never noticed on a regular DVD. no audio performance, and it is black and white. Don't bother........

see: Casablanca and Renaissance: Paris 2054. both black and white, both amongst the best HD pictures out there. which is what has me stoked for (when is it coming already!!!!!) Sin City.

not everyone is open to B&W, though, it's a big "to each, their own" kinda deal.

I really like The Longest Day on Blu-ray. Of course some will say it is awful because of the DNR on it but I still liked it a lot. A very good movie that looks much better than ever at home.

It is my first B&W Blu-ray (are there even any others out?) and it looks great in HD.

I bought The Sand Pebbles, Patton, The Longest Day, and A Bridge Too Far. I have only fully watched the 1st 3 of these but I am very happy with all of them. Much better movies than the majority of what comes out of Hollywood these days.

the import of renaissance is (although does not have english subs or dubs). honestly, i can't think of any others that are OUT (is Roy Orbison in b/w, or is that just the title?)....a few will be coming w/ the budget titles, and casablanca

Bump...... so, are they ever going to review this movie?

If not, does anyone know of other reputable Blu-ray reviewing sites that I can check?

Good Night and Good Luck ... but it's a newer movie shot in B&W. A great movie at that.
