samuel jackson knows how to pick his movies

You can't really talk too much about this movie as you'll let too much of the plot out. Your interest is piqued by the racist thought that here is an elderly black man kidknapping a cute teenaged white girl for, ahem, you know what. And what you get is a terrific movie, terrific acting by all, esp. the interaction between Jackson and Christina Ricci. Justin Timberlake and the two playing the minister and the pharmacist are also excellent. And on HD-DVD, Ms Ricci's naked body is awesome. I showed this to my brother, and he ordered the HD-DVD the next day. I hear it's coming out on blu-ray. I don't think blu-ray can beat this; I've yet to hear an honest review where the blu-ray was better than the HD. Even when I get a blu-ray, I would still acquire the HD over blu, if possible. Too bad Warner took the bribe from Sony, as HD is way ahead of blu-ray technology. I've lost my respect for Spielberg as an artist after listening to his foolish rant. You can throw Michael Bay in there, too. A faster streaming speed and overall capacity are meaningless when you use wasteful codecs, and never produce a movie using more than one layer. Toshiba has been using two layers all the way, and throwing the standard version on the opposite side (on many Warner discs) for those not having an HD player.
