    'Event Horizon' SE: New Information!

    Well, it appears that the film has been classified by the BBFC and its 91 minutes 56 seconds long (this is the PAL version) which is no longer than the previous submissions so unfortunately its not an extended cut. Paul

    Alexander "Rehash of Richard Burton Movie"

    Anyone with any interest in the background to "real" Troy and the "real" Alexander may wish to obtain "In the footsteps of Alexander" and "In Search of the Trojan War", either as DVDs or the books. Author/Presenter is Michael Wood and they are absolutely superb! Both the books and the DVDs...

    BBC History of World War II

    The Nazis - A Warning from History - the theme tune for this series when shown on the BBC was quite a surprise when I first heard it but is VERY appropriate once it grows on you. The series is superb stuff from beginning to end, very chilling and very informative! Paul

    The 6th of June: D-Day & "The Longest Day" DVD

    The Japan version says its in color - now I'm an OAR freak but I must admit that I'd prefer color over the b&w version. Paul

    Suggestion For Alien Quad Replacement Packaging

    Perhaps they would consider sending out new covers if the old one (or part thereof) was sent back to them first? Edit - Jeff beat me to it! Paul

    TTT EE region 2 vs 1: any comparisons yet?

    Hi Julian, Bjoern Roy did an extensive NTSC v PAL picture quality review of LOTR: FOTR here at http://www.videophile.info/Review/FOTR/FOTR_01.htm and also compared them to a "homemade" NTSC version derived from a Hi-Def broadcast - very interesting indeed. He is just about to post a similar...

    With HD discs looming will this affect your DVD buying habbits?

    I sold my entire collection of over 300 titles and am now only buying a selected few that I really want to see, (LOTR extended editions etc). I figured that once Hi-Def arrives, I'd only watch Hi-Def titles and wouldn't watch any standard versions. Its a bit like the change from VHS/Laser to...

    Does anyone else feel that D-VHS is a stupid investment?

    When the price was up way above $1000 it looked to me like an expensive folly. With prices now not far above $500 - 600 its beginning to look seriously interesting. Any lower and I suspect many folks would be willing to invest just to have a good close up look at it - I would. Paul

    Panic Room - Is it Truely Superbit

    I think a lot depends on whether your display device is properly color calibrated or not. I watched this movie about 3 weeks ago with an uncalibrated projector and thought it looked quite bad. Since then I've had my projector calibrated to D65 and Panic Room looks considerably better! This is...

    9/11 documentary edited?

    Mike, Couldn't agree more - if some of the purchase price of the DVD went to a 9/11 related charity it might make the purchase a lot easier in peoples minds. Paul

    Jeepers Creepers - problem with disc

    Heads up fella's! There are multiple reports of the R1 Jeepers Creepers disc not playing on a number of UK multi-region DVD players. Pioneers seem to be the worst culprits although there are reports of Sony's and Toshiba's also being unable to play the disc (which is apparently NOT an RCE...

    WINGS : 1st Academy Award Winner

    I saw Wings on TV during a Christmas holiday. There was nothing else on and I thought "ah well, might as well watch this b&W rubbish". For the next hour and a half (I forget how long it actually lasted), I sat spellbound - Wings was one of the best films I've seen, certainly in my top twenty...
