LOST IN TRANSLATION is coming to HD DVD!
 And that's not all. Just when HD DVD fans were getting frustrated at the lack of announcements from the "Red side", Universal, who exclusively support the format, have announced a truckload of new shiney 1080p optical discs! The following list has been shamelessly copied and pasted from Whiggles.com:
April - The Good Shepherd, Smokin' Aces, The Game, The Jerk, The Hitcher, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Nutty Professor
May - Alpha Dog, The 40-Year-Old Virgin: Unrated, Smokey and the Bandit, Hurricane, Skeleton Key, The River, Midnight Run, The Frighteners, The Big Lebowski, Dragonheart, Lost in Translation
June - Breach, Bruce Almighty, Liar Liar, Sneakers, Born on the 4th of July, Scent of a Woman, Daylight, Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, Meet Joe Black, Mallrats, Being John Malkovich, Mystery Men, American Me, The Watcher, Bulletproof
July - Billy Madison, The War, The Wedding Date, Dante's Peak, Cat in the Hat, Dead Silence, The Bourne Identity, The Nutty Professor 2, In Good Company, Streets of Fire, Hot Fuzz, Sea of Love, Darkman, Shaun of the Dead, Deliver Us from Eva
August - Heroes: Season One
September - The Last Starfighter, Legend, Battlestar Galactica: Season One, For the Love of the Game, Knocked Up, Evening, The Getaway: Unrated, Patch Adams, Cat People
 Now like any HD release list, not all titles are A-grade, but there's a lot of good stuff in here, including one of my favourite movies - Lost in Translation, which had better arrive on my door-step with a fantastic video transfer, or someone will be made to pay. And, unlike the, erm, evacuation of Blu-ray titles announced at CES in January, these release dates are likely to actually be feasible.

It's not an amazing list, but it's better than anything Fox or Sony have come up with. There are about six titles there that I would pick up, and we can expect Universal to supplement that list at some point this year with Hitchcock and Kubrick titles.
