Thanks for the response Greg. I just looked up the reviews on that one. The critics didn't seem to care to much for it. Sometimes they don't exactly reflect what the public likes. Was this an OK movie in the John Grisham style, or was it something new he was trying to do?
Have any movies been made from John Grisham novels in the past few years? It seems to me it's been close to 5 or 6 years since we've had one. IMBD shows Runaway Jury in 1993. Is that the last one? A great writer, I hate to see the material dry up. Haven't seen any new Tom Clancy in many...
I too promised myself I would sit out the war, but I succumbed to the $98 price point. I'm reminded of the old story, but in reverse, about the guy who asked the beautiful young lady if she'd go to bed with him for $1000. She quickly said "yes". He than asked her if she'd be willing to go to...
Has anyone seen any indication that the Sergio Leone Anthology will be coming out on Blu-Ray? I was thinking of purchasing the DVD version, but don't want to if there's a chance it will be on Blu-Ray in the reasonable future.
Is this film in the Japanese language with English subtitles? The first post in this thread refers to a Japanese language film, yet IMDb states "English, Japanese" as the language. Thanks.
I would think it might be illegal for the studios to get together and agree on which format to all support. Not a lawyer, but it just seems like it might be a no-no. What they could have done is all go format neutral and release on both, as some have done. Then, the marketplace would truly...
The story published on the internet is that it is going to happen. The story also stated that Universal took some money from the HD-DVD camp in exchange for releasing exclusively on HD-DVD, including some big hits like King Kong. The "exclusive" deal supposedly ended 12/31/06. Supposedly, the...
Not exactly. More the low end. They are the old Goldstar with a new name. If this player comes in at $1200, I can't imagine it making much of a difference in the battle.
If HD-DVD can be cracked, no doubt Blu-Ray can also. This is not good news for either camp. What if the studios get spooked and slow down releases? Everyone would be better off if this crack had not occurred.
I have 1750 SD titles in my collection, and I've stopped buying until one of the formats becomes the likely winner. At that time, I'll begin buying again, but only high def.
I hadn't updated my list for a month or so and when I went to do so, found the site missing. Intervocative's site doesn't respond either. Anybody know anything. I did a search on this forum, but it doesn't seem to bring up anything.
I wonder if they were undergoing a server change or something. It's back as of Sunday night and much, much faster than in the past. I guess it's the old saying, "all's well that ends well."
Is there any difference in the quality of DVDs recorded on a DVD Recorder and the internal DVD writer/burner in a computer? Mine burns DVD+R and DVD+RW. Like others in this thread, I would be transferring old VHS home videos. Deane
I noticed that DVD Empire and Laser's Edge both show the release date as 9/28/04. I'm surpised there wasn't more hoopla about the corrected version being ready for release. Maybe I just slept through the announcement. That's been know to happen.
I had Memphis Belle on my "to buy" list, but now don't find any indication it is being re-released. I would have gotten it on my list if I read somewhere about a release, so it must have been mentioned somewhere. A "search" in this forum produces nothing. Anyone know anything about it? Deane
Well Adam, I, for one, thought your review was excellent and answered all the questions I would have before buying it. And thanks to Joe Caps for his post clarifying the technical approach to 'Scope movies of the era. It was an interesting time as the movies tried all sorts of things to draw...
Laser's Edge is showing it as a 2/3/04 release and indicates SE. They show the length as 261 minutes. The previous version was 254 minutes. Laser's Edge doesn't indicate anamorphic, only wide screen. DVD Empire is still showing the old version and as "unavailable". I don't know if this...
This is one I have been asking about for some time. Latest word I have heard is that it might be out late 2004 or 2005. Seems like that information came from one of the chats. It certainly is conspicous by it's absence. Deane
