Why do some of my Blu-Rays look really grainy?

I'm using Samsung BD-P1400 on 32 inch Samsung 1080i LCD TV and some BD I have watched recently are really grainy.

I watched "Shutter" yesterday and the grain in it was awful, and I noticed a lot of grain in the movie "Jumper" as well, as well as "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"

Is this my set, or just these films? I watched "Vantage Point" last week, and "I, Robot" and I don't recall them having any grain. So what is going on?

sometimes non HD films that are made into HD for BD have crappy transfers. its nothing wrong with your set. (i dont think) Its just some movies are going to look better then others. for a really good BD experience pick a nice new BD like i am legend. that has one of the best audio and video transfers on BD today. im afraid until they get better at transferring them you might have to deal with a grainy flick or two for a while.
