High-Def Digest had quite a week, with a few bumps, and a TON of great stories and reviews. We want to make sure you didn't miss a thing!

Warner Bros., having not learned from the painful commercial and critical beating that their expensive, borderline unwatchable 'Fred Claus' the year before, bankrolled yet another pricey, inert Vince Vaughn holiday "comedy," this time with the asinine title 'Four Christmases.'

‘Forrest Gump’ is the touching tale of a man from Alabama who possesses an IQ of 75, but still winds up in the middle of every major American event from the 1950s to the 1980s -- from the Vietnam War to becoming one of the first investors in Apple.
