| Video Likes | Clarity of image. Any effort made by the Studio to digitally restore the source print without making everything look bland. Fully realised colour. |
| Video Dislikes | Thoughtless layer changes. Excessive artefacts on anything. Unneccesary advertising and warnings. Blu-ray load times! |
| Audio Likes | Clean well seperated sound. DTS HD Master Audio and True HD |
| Audio Dislikes | Poorly mixed sound which combines near inaudible passages followed by sonic thunder. |
| Favourite DVDs | Death on the Staircase (Documentary) Riveting doesn't come close. A dissection of a murder trial with genuine surprises at each turn. Anything with Zhang Jiyi but if I had to make a choice probably House of Flying Daggers. New British Comedy: Spaced,League of Gentlemen, Big Train, The Office, Pulling. Lost in Translation : Murray and Johansson in a perfect combination.Tree of Life... |
| Least Favourite DVDs | The original release of The Last Emperor - a real disappointment in terms of the quality of the transfer. The Fireman's Ball - a great film with as mucky transfer. |
| Most Eagerly Awaited DVDs | Blu-rays : Interstellar and the Complete Miyazaki Collection on Madman |
| Titanic | |
| The Matrix | |
| Terminator 2 | |
| Star Wars | |
| Godzilla | |
| Independence Day |

 1. The Staircase (Soupçons) (2004) As unflinching and direct as documentaries can be |  2. Lost in Translation (2003) Sublime script, direction and performances |  3. Blade Runner: Directors Cut (1992) Dark moody, ahead of its time. |  4. Casablanca: 60th Anniversary Special Edition (1942) Beautifully restored - best script ever! |  5. Waiting for Guffman (NTSC) (1996) I love every film from the Spinal Tap team. |
 6. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: Special Extended Edition (2003) Any of the series could find a place in my top 10 |  7. Six Feet Under-The Complete First Season (2001) Each season is a joy to watch. |  8. House of Flying Daggers (Shi mian mai fu) (2004) The colours, the drama, the costumes, the swordfights! | 9. The Truman Show: Special Collector's Edition (1998) Jim Carreys best. Fascinating drama/comedy. |  10. Adaptation. (2002) Charlie Kaufman is a genius! |
