    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ Halloween II -- in 4k UHD

    Actually it has been well documented that the mask used in part 2 was the exact same mask that Nick Castle wore in the original. It sat in a box for 2 years and the paint started to yellow and peel off which made it look dirtier and Dick Warlocks face was wider than Nick Castles creating a...

    Disney buys LucasFilms for $4.05 billion

    All I can say is..this is a shocker. I can only hope that Star Wars can now live up to the potential that the original trilogy had started. I also hope there is a possible future release of the original trilogy on bluray. I have a couple of hopes but only time will tell. Later everyone.

    USHE Press Release: E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

    I personally think that this is the right choice as this is the 30Th Anniversary of the theatrical release of E.T. and not the 10Th Anniversary of the 2002 version of E.T. In that respect I believe this is how the film should be released on Blu. That being said I feel that it probably would not...

    Blu-ray Review Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-ray Review

    I appreciate all reviews as they are just giving their opinion and not everyone will agree with it and that is part of the process. That being said I have watched 4-6 and they are definitely the best I have seen these films. I did notice frozen grain although it is minor and the black crush I...

    The above picture just having a little fun with the whole green tint thing by inserting a character from a very green tinted film franchise. I have viewed all but ROTK so far and these films look fantastic. FOTR looks the best as far as I am concerned a definite upgrade over all other version. I...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - Extended Edition -- in Blu-ray

    I have been into HT since the good old Laserdisc days as I always wanted the best quality I could get at home. I am also one of the many I feel that are disappointed in the behavior of some "HT Enthusiasts" at other forums. I would be embarrassed to behave like some people are behaving. To...

    Well after watching part one of FOTR I have to say that it looks beautiful. I did not notice the whites looking green. That is not to say that there is not a green tint it is just not noticeable. If you love these films then got get them, you will not be disappointed. 5 stars from me...

I am excited about this set and looking forward to watching these editions which I have not watched for probably 3 years as I have been holding out for the HD release. I will let everyone know how I feel about the new color...

    So, I finally started watching Battlestar Galactica

    It is Helo not Apollo although they look very similar that Sharon is with and Boomer is with the Chief but yes it can get confusing but it works itself out. I started watching the series after getting the HDDVD 1st season for cheap and was hooked. In March I purchased the complete series and...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Spaceballs

    I remember seeing this in a Theater in 1987 with a buddy of mine and it had a couple of laughs. I would rate it in the middle of the Brooks pack of films his earlier stuff (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein) is much better. Later Everyone Brian

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    That scene or part of it was in the Director's cut of ST 2 of Spock, Kirk and Saavik using ladders as the turbo lifts were not working after returning from the Genesis cave if i recall correctly. Later Everyone Brian

    The Dark Knight changing Aspect Ratio feels like a Joke

    I do not mind the changing aspect ratio but I would have preferred the choice via seamless branching as the version I have seen was also the 2:35.1. I also have noticed that the non IMAX scenes have edge enhancement which can get distracting at times. Later everyone Brian Sallot

    WHV Announcement: 10 New Blu-ray Titles coming April 2009

    I will definitely pick up 2010 and I do not feel $20 is too high a price for a title in Hi-Def as long as the transfer is faithful and not manipulated by the studio. Later Everyone Brian

    Want to go HDDVD now but what else do I need ?

    I have a 720p Projector (Sanyo Z3) for the HT and an older 1080i (Panny 53") set for the living room and I will tell you the 720p is no slouch so you will still get that theater look and feel. I personally feel you will enjoy the differences from SD as I have. Later Brian

    **Official HTF HD Formats Ind./Retailer/Studio Support Thread-*SEE POST 3176, p. 106*

    I have a simple question for all including myself. When one format eventually wins how upset will you be that the other one failed? My 2 answers. If BR loses I have a PS3 which is a powerful gaming platform to still use so only loss is investment in the movies(which will still work) If HD...

    **Official HTF HD Formats Ind./Retailer/Studio Support Thread-*SEE POST 3176, p. 106*

    I think either format can give a great picture and great sound and that is what home theater is about. The format competition does not bother me nearly as much as the Fanboy mentality that is running rampant around the many forums. I expect those attitudes from gamers because that is how it has...

    I do not agree with Bill's way of pushing BR but he has every right to have an opinion and his is that BR is better. I just do not agree with him ignoring the negatives on BR's business tactics yet making HD-DVD seem like they are the only company making(shady) deals behind closed doors. I have...

    **Official HTF HD Formats Ind./Retailer/Studio Support Thread-*SEE POST 3176, p. 106*

    I feel no matter what a Studio or it's Execs say that all Studios have gotten something from either the BR or HD camps for their commitment. This is business and big business at that and we all know that many lies are spoken to the public all the time. Both camps are guilty of it and to be...
