    Anyone reviewed The Island?

    Has anyone heard whether they corrected this disc yet in Canada regarding the 5.1 soundtrack? I was expecting there be a thread regarding corrected versions and what code/serial number to look for on the packaging but I haven't seen anything yet.

    A very long engagement packaging question

    I have the Region 1 and it came with no inserts at all.

    It's Official: HD DVD and Blu-ray Can Limit High Resolution To HDMI Only

    So is Region coding then a virtual guarantee with either HD-DVD/Bluray? With the increasing number of simultaneous global theatrical and DVD release dates, I would think this would be less of a worry to studios. I'm hoping that the new formats will be region free but I somehow doubt that. I'm...

    Got fooled by HMV's "collector series se7en

    Hi Chris, I think the single disc version you got was released after the 2 disc Platinum Series version, which studios have been known to do for a number of their titles (Fox more so it seems than other studios though). I would assume then that the single disc version you got is most likely not...

    I vote for Gattaca. It's a movie I can watch over and over and still enjoy.

    OLDBOY - August 23,2005

    I haven't seen any official releases yet but Amazon.ca and .com are reporting the release day to be August 23, 2005. No specifics but I can't see it being anything other than the Region 1 by Tartanfilms. But like their Region 1 releases of "Tale of Two Sisters" and "Samaritan Girl", I'm sure...

    "Constantine" (Keanu Reeves) DVD News + Release Date ?

    I think it's also listed as one of the HD-DVD's that Warner is going to roll out in Q4-2005.

    Before Sunrise/Sunset

    Any updates on whether new versions will be coming out in the near future? All I see are the 2 movies packaged together in their separate cases.

    Kundun dvd, super wide aspect?

    I'm absolutely dying for a new Kundun DVD. Having said that, I have seen a non-anamorphic transfer hold up to anamorphic transfers on my 50" LCD Sony. The one I'm referring to is Criterion's Armageddon.

    LOTR Slipcase Offer - Any Equivalent Offer for Canadians?

    I just received mine today. I sent away for the box the same day ROTK was released. They cashed my check just before Christmas. So if you haven't gotten yours yet, be patient as it looks like they are finally arriving.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Return of the King Extended Cut - Absolutely Recommended

    I agree with the differences between DTS and DD. I had just finished watching TT the night before so that DTS mix was still fresh in my mind. I chose DTS on TT over DD because dialogue was generally clearer. When I popped in ROTK and played both tracks, I noticed the following: DD - louder...

    Calibration help on new Sony KV-27FS120

    1. I would reduce the red push first and then go about calibrating your TV with Avia. 2. As for oversqueeze, you're probably best to find out yourself by popping in a circular test pattern. 3. Not that I can think of.

    Spider-Man 2, which version??!!

    I loved that first Spiderman 2 trailer with Peter and MJ in the cafe. I love towards the end when Spiderman is swinging away and the camera pulls out off of Doc Ock's sunglasses. Its slightly different than the one used in the actually movie. I preferred the trailer version.

    Spider-Man 2 DVD Reviews - when?

    Troy, You're Yammy will work just fine. Both BlueRay and HD-DVD are both going to be using the same Dolby Digital and DTS. They are just going to be less compressed is all. Right now DVD is required to have atleast a Dolby Digital or PCM track as audio. I believe Blue Ray has adopted DTS as...

    Sony Grand Wega Problems, Need Advice!

    Sorry to hear about your badluck. I have the same set and haven't had any problems with it. I did notice I now have a dead pixel near the center of my screen but I don't consider it a problem since I can't even see it from where I sit. How close are you sitting? I know a lot of people put huge...

    Non-Anamorphic can still look really great though. I have Criterion's Armageddon and it looks spectacular on my 50".

    Will "Contact" ever be remastered?

    Just watched it last week on my 50" and it looked top notch to me. Its got quite a number of extras also so I would pick it up.

    Hold my hand as I buy a new TV : )

    Hi Justin, 1/2. It sounds like you are on a budget. Instead of getting the TV calibrated, I would save the couple of hundred and sink it into your new TV. Not to knock the ISF calibration at all but your TV out of the box and after doing your own calibrations should still look pretty damn good...

    Help in Identifying Music from Dark City Trailer...

    I go to this site: http://www.soundtrack.net/trailers/ It's a terrific site that lists songs used in trailers. For Dark City it says: "Sleep Now" by Hughes Hall http://www.soundtrack.net/trailers/?cid=D&id=146 Sometimes you'll find the trailer music is on the Soundtrack but in a little...

    To announce Spider-Man 2.5 DVD

    From the sounds of it, it seems like Sony is pushing Raimi to do it. From the quoted interview (which is on IGN as well), he sounds quite content with the theatrical cut and is only going back to add these new scenes in because Sony wants him to and not really because he wants to. I guess...

    Spider-man 2 11/30

    I think before everyone starts bashing Columbia about this not being a Spiderman Deluxe Superbit from the get-go, we need to establish whether its physically possible to fit: 1. The video 2. Dolby Digital 3. DTS 4. 2 commentaries 5. Spidey Popups If so, then the complaints...

    Extended warranty on DLP TV's. Are they worth it?

    Be careful because some warranties will not include the replacement of bulbs. Make sure you specifically find out whether the bulbs are going to be covered or not if you buy the warranty. I've purchased warranties in the past but never used them. I would probably not buy another extended...
