OK...here's the deal with the Blockbuster in-store rentals.
There is still a due date on the receipts. I kept a movie for two weeks, got an automated reminder after one week, and then after the second week, another automated reminder saying they will charge my card minus the rental fee if the movie is not returned by the next day.

Thumbs up from both me and the wife on "Ray"... I noticed a few audio synchronization problems on some scenes where Jamie Foxx's "singing" clearly did not match up well with the soundtrack. My wife even noticed this.
All in all, great movie!
I was watching the dvd on my Panasonic portable and about in the middle of the film (the scene where Ray and his band have to add another song to the set and come up with "Babby It's All Right") the scenes pixelate and freeze.
I checked this using my newer Elite and Dennon players and there was not a problem. Just a note to see if I had a bad disc or the portable is getting outdated.

Are you sure that was Jamie Foxx singing in those scenes, Dave? I wonder if it was actually a case of Jamie Foxx lip-synching (less than perfectly) to a Ray Charles recording. Or is that what you actually meant?Originally Posted by davef
My wife and I watched the movie last night and both of us were slightly disappointed. We found the dialog difficult to understand at times (especially Foxx) which is the first time this has happened with a true DD5.1 soundtrack fed through our terrific little HTM-200 center channel. In general, the sound in the first half of the movie was less than impressive, but improved later during some of the thrilling performances in the second half. At 152 minutes, the movie was also needlessly long, and then, almost as if the director suddenly realized this, it seemed to end rather abruptly.
No better than 7/10, IMHO.
I took it to mean that Jamie was not always in-sinc with the recording...or vice-versa. I noticed this on occasion also.Originally Posted by GaryB

Sorry if I was less than clear. The imperfect synchronization was certainly noticeable, but my point was that it was more likely due to old-fashioned bad lip-synching rather than a "technical" problem related to faulty synchronization of the audio and video.
