| | Anonymous 10/26/2009 | | I RENTED THIS MOVIE LAST WEEKEND AND I WAS ENTERTAINED AND LOVED VIN DIESELS ROLE. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE OF VIN DIESEL IN A BABALON VERSION OF VAMPIRES. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK |
| | Can't watch | cheapo 06/18/2009 | one of three movies my one-day-old Blue-Ray Disk player can't read yet.
I FINALLY broke down and bought my son a Magnavox NB500MGX for his 21st birthday, and Vin Diesel Baby lon protection software doesn't even exist yet for my new blue ray DVD.
Magnavox doesn't have a software fix yet, and doesn't know when (or if) they ever will get one. Cool, Blockbuster said Baby lon has caused trouble for lotsa people...I just happened to rent it on the same night I bought the player, so I thought the player was bogus.
Magnavox, said there is no way of knowing what movies won't work on your player ahead of time. Thanks Vin Diesel, you protected me from watching your movies ... saved me the time, don't think I"ll ever bother renting your movies ever again, once burned, twice shy. |
