I went to Les Miserables with my wife last night. I'm a huge fan of the musicial and I've seen it on stage four or five times. I really enjoyed the movie and would recommend it. Parts of it were really good, even great. Other bits were distracting and didn't quite work for me. Although Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway did a decent job, others like Russel Crowe were distracting. I'm a huge fan for Russel Crowe, but he's not a great singer. I think I would have preferred to have the movie full of singers who can act, rather than actors who can sing. If you haven't ever seen Les Miserables, I think you'll love it. If you have seen it on stage and are familiar with it, you'll enjoy it, but bits of it are going to bother you a little.
My wife, Shannon Noa , has the 25th anniversary performance playing right now. There is really no comparing the two. Is the movie enjoyable. Does it have merit? Is it like stage production. Nope.

Problems Burning a BluRay
Does anyone out there have experience burning bluray discs? I've prepped many videos and can burn DVDs easily, but I'm having trouble burning blurays. They play fine on my computers, but not on my bluray players. I'm guessing it's a compatibility issue with my slightly older, entry level bluray players, but I'm not sure. Send me a message if you have any experience with this. I've been googling this for weeks, but I'm not making much headway.
I have been fiddling with the encoding and other output options. I finally rendered a blu-ray disc that plays properly on my blu-ray problem, but despite being rendered in 1080p I can only get it to play in 480i. UGH! I suppose that's progress. I have another burn rendered differently, hopefully that will work a little better.
I've been comparing the blu-ray to the DVD I prepped. The video on the DVD is smoother, the blu-ray is jittery. Hmmm..... Hopefully the other compression on my next burn will help. There isn't a lot of clear info out there. I suspect I am fighting the two blu-ray players I own as much as anything else.
