And, another Van Damme movie.
(they are running out, just be patient)

As an ex soldier, Van Damme gets hired for a security job. He has to protect his client from a just-released gangster who's out for revenge.

Not a bad movie, as Van Damme gets older, it shows, but at least his roles are more fitting for his showing age.

Conversion didnt have any issues:

Nicolas Cage plays a cop who's investigating a missing girl. His search ends him in a community that functions like a cult.

I didnt like this movie when I watched it. While it's entertaining in the beginning, it just gets too much.

Anyway, conversion went without issues.

Supposedly one of the biggest movies ever, but I've never seen it. I might watch it this week with my wife, but not sure yet. From what I've heard and read about it, it does not really fit my interests.

Anyway, the movie was on sale at the grocery store, so we picked it up. The version we had was on VHS, and we havent had a VHS hooked up for 8 years, so it was bound to happen.

Anyway, the 2-disc movie converted without any issues, but I expected it to be bigger in filesize though.

Resulting filesize

Titanic disc 1 on iPhone settings: 418MB
Titanic disc 2 on iPhone settings: 390MB

In my opionion a MUST-SEE

A few days ago I watched Iron Man.
I've been waiting for this movie since it was first anounced. While I've never read the comics, (I was into Spidey) the Iron Man character itself is just plain cool.

Unlike most comic characters, Iron Man is actually a normal human being. He did not get bit by a radioactive spider, he did not get hit with gamma rays. He gains his "powers" in a similar manner as Batman, by gadgets and inventions.

And another Van Damme movie. This one is from 2006, and I've never even heard of it, untill I was browsing around on Netflix for DVD's.
Since no new movies have been reported to have issues with DVD Catalyst conversions, I just queue up movies I might enjoy.

With Iron Man just out, and Hulk around the corner, this movie provides an interesting look on the personal life of a super-hero.
Uma Thurman plays a supergirl-type, and doesnt appreciate that she got dumped by her boyfriend.

It's been a while since I watched it, but I did enjoy watching it.
