There's been very little of the beating of the Blu-ray drum in recent months, presumably because there's no longer any pesky young upstart challenging its right to succeed DVD as the next (and possibly last) generation of optical media .

Anyway, you might have forgotten that Blu-ray is the ULTIMATE disc based home entertainment system, you forgetful drone, so here's a man who makes crappy action films including xXx, Stealth, Daylight and the latest block buster The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor to remind you:

"Things that are dimensional, like the dragon lunging at the camera, in Blu-ray really knock your head off because you are seeing all the details we put in it that are even a little better defined," said Rob Cohen, director of the third CGI -heavy Mummy cinematic debacle. "The dark/light values are better so you can be darker and still see all the detail."

Yup, and also unlike the cinema, Blu-ray players can be switched off at the touch of a button, rescuing an evening from two hours of brain meltingly drab entertainment without forcing you to air your disinterest in front of a crowd of fellow cinema goers.
