I loaded up Beer League and the transfer looked "okay," not terrible. I say this because I saw Beer League in the theater and it looked terrible in the theater, so I think it is mostly source limited since it was such a cheapo production. I'm not sure how much you can blame on the encode job with such a crappy source material.

That being said, I only briefly checked it out on my 1680x1050 22" monitor, I haven't put it under my bigscreen scope yet. Either way, for the $8 I paid for it I'm satisfied considering its low-budget roots. Lets face it we probably wouldn't see it at all on BD if a top-notch BD was the criteria for releasing since it did poorly in theaters and was so low budget.

The other movies on the OP's list look like crap in general, so I'd hold off simply because they are poor movies.
