The Shrine

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I watched this last night all the way through cause I was bored. First off it's a two disc set. The first disc is your basic movie with a couple of outdated trailers and a trailer for FFX. I really can't comment on the sound quality because my computer has this really bad habit of making silences in the film sound like a bad MP3 encoding job. I'm using PowerDVD and so is a friend of mine with a SB Live 5.1 and his does it also. The picture quality looks perfect though! I have to say it looks excellent, better than it did in the theaters.

On to the special edition second disc. Pop it in and you think it's a DVD menu, but where is the alternate opening??? Oh wait, why the fuck does it want me to install quicktime? This is stupid! Then I realize PowerDVD hasn't started up, ok, turn on PowerDVD, there we go! The alternate intro is ok, it doesn't look that great compared to the finished film. There were some cool camera shots though of when Aki gets out of her chair in the beginning, they gave you a First Person Perspective of what it was like, it looked really cool. I have to say the funny outtakes would have been better if they had been completed like in some other CGI films, but some were just stupid but funny.

Didn't get to any of the commentary or anything, but you can watch this movie in French also. Anyway, that's what I thought about it.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>Well playing it on the PS2 I obviously didn't have any problems with Quicktime or anything, but I thought the second disc was purty good. The documentary is long and the character profiles are neat. I love the movie, so for me, it's a kickass DVD set.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>Depends on if you liked the movie or not.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>It was expensive.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>How much was it there?</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I'm all about watching it in French. It saves me the embarrassment of hearing a badass like Steve Buscemi humiliate himself with sub-collegiate dialogue.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>That was the only real thing I hated about the movie.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>$19.99 + us tax. BTW I love your sig pic.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>That's about what it was here after tax ($32CDN). Thanks, drunkie.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I'll pick it up used for $15 Cdn just 'cause it looks to be a great DVD, but unfortunately I thought the movie was just like FF7</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I got the Final Version of Monty Pythons Quest for the Holy Grail instead when I went to buy the FF one. I just couldn't resist</div>
