Here's the audio comparison that I originally posted in the Rasputin thread. There is definitely too much top end on the audio recording, but I found that by turning up the bass on my surround sound system and slightly increasing the volume sorted it out

I'll admit it is slightly annoying, but the stunning PQ made up for it so I saw no reason to complain.
Dracula is due out in March, I really can't wait for that one in HD

I've only seen the Rasputin BD once since it arrived and didn't notice any synchronisation problems. As I've been meaning to watch it again, I'll keep a lookout for any synchronisation problems on next viewing.

Also, I'm another the doesn't think much of the World of Hammer episodes, only watching them because they're on the disc – I certainly wouldn't seek them out or buy a DVD containing the World of Hammer series.

There is no sync issues, the audio is a little thin and tinny with very little low end

In that case, it's not something I noticed or anything which stood out as problematic. Maybe it's my amplifier.

Watched Brian Trenchard-Smith's Vietnam war movie The Siege of Firebase Gloria and i really liked it. This Australian/Philippine production also gives room to show a more objective side of the war where both sides actually suffered great losses for their cause.
And for entertainment it's filled with action, blood, guts and chopped heads!

The on demand DVD from MGM Limited Edition Collection looks actually really good and have a strong and clear audio.

The Mothman Prophecies (2001) Based around an event that took place in 1967, the Mothman Prophecies is about a recently widowed journalist who inxeplicably finds himself in the town of Point Pleasant where strange sightings of a creature have been taking place. The journalist with a police officer tries to piece together the clues and cryptic messages that some are left with and soon discover that they are about disasters that are yet to happen. The journalist learns of an ancient creature called the Mothman that seems to warn others of impending disaster but isnt to sure if he is being warned or is sliding into madness over the death of his wife. A pretty good mystery movie but be warned don't expect a great reveal or an answer to everything. There is a little snippet of info about what happened at the end of the movie, which without giving to much away, can be disproved with a little research on the internet!
