More 4HD movies this weekend

Still no HD movie channel on Virgin, and this month's Picturebox selection is more pitiful than ever. Thank heavens then for 4HD, which every weekend seems to have something up its sleeve even if they almost always a few years old.
This Saturday we have Tom Cruise starring in JJ Abrams' Mission Impossible III at 9.15pm, then on Sunday it's a triple bill, kicking off at 7.55pm with 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer followed by Arnie in Predator, topping off with Zack "Watchmen" Snyder's remake of Dawn of the Dead at 11.45pm. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday evening...

I watched Predator. I don't own the Blu-ray yet but this is the best I've seen the film look yet.

The sound was pretty good too for a 23 year old film. Lacking in proper sub bass but channel separation was impressive. Alan Silvestri's spooky score seemed to just 'hang' in the room.

Shame about the ad breaks though.

Anyone else noticed the 4hd now/next idents also appear to be in HD too?

Next weekend's 4HD movies include Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan on Sunday at 9pm. I hope it's in 5.1 for that opening 20 mins...
