Why is there no R1 version of Anthony Mann's The Heroes of The Telemark (1965)? I watched a dreadful Nordic R2 version which made me long for a better release. The version I watched was letterboxed, wobbled, had scratches and vertical lines etc... Too bad, it's probably one of most realistic...

Hi, anyone who can say anything about the quality of "Charade" 1963, R2 UK, Universal, released May 23, 2005? Catalogue Number: 8235062

Anyone seen "The Eagle Has Landed SE" or "The Heroes of The Telemark SE", both UK R2? I wonder about the picture and sound quality.

I am just now watching the recent UK release of The Wild Geese (1978) and it is gorgeous! The anamorphic 1.85 picture looks pristine. I can't remember seeing any scratch or blemish at all. The sound is "only" Dolby Surround but it is very good, nice directional sounds from the fronts, no...

I don't know, I must be missing something but I can't get DPL IIx to kick in for 5.1 Audio Sources. With 2.0 audio source, I can toggle through: - Prologic Surround Standard - Prologic Surround Enhanced - Prologic IIx Movie - Prologic IIx Music - Prologic IIx Game - DTS Neo: 6 Cinema...

I just got a Yamaha RX-V1400 through the door! And it has DPL IIx, there is a sticker on the front which says "Dolby Digital EX Prologic IIx Upgraded". Maybe I should add that I live in Europe... Question is: should I go for two back surround speakers or is one sufficient? It is getting...

Yes! Finally! Need I say more?? EXTREME PREJUDICE classified 23 October, 2003, (18) by the BBFC, Widescreen, All previous cuts waived!! Run Time 100m 34s

What can be said of a DVD players ability to produce a certain number of lines in terms of horizontal resolution? I see players that have "over 500 lines" and some say "540 lines", is there any noticeable difference when projected on a 100" screen? or is it just marketing? BTW, is 540 the...

Haven't heard about it before but the BBFC "leaked" some interesting info and I am assuming that there is new box on the way with at least 6 discs (including the 2001 remake). Disclaimer: this is just speculation for a potential R2 release but since Robert Crawford hinted that "another...

How should black and white movies look? On my Sony VPL-VW10HT, I use a video mode which has both color and hue turned to 0. I feel that it makes old black and white pictures look best. If not, it looks slightly green. Changing the color temperature also changes the look of things but is...

I posted this question in the projectors forum but no luck so far so I'll give ít a try here: I read at the VW10HT FAQ that you can't get full resolution , 1366x768, through a video card since the VW10HT will scale it to 1024x768 in 4:3 mode. Is there no workaround for this? Is this also...

I just read that Brazil is released in the UK on the 19th of May. No word on details but the German R2 of Brail is said to be 1.85:1 anamorphic, dolby surround 2.0 and with featurette "What is Brazil?" and the theatrical trailer. 12th April. Any other info available??

I have been thinking of picking up Time Bandits but can't decide what release is best, Criterion or Anchor Bays R2 version. How is the picture and sound on the Criterion? On paper, the R2 wins big (5.1 mix, 16x9 enhanced, loads of extras) but I have not seen any real comparisons or...

Anyone who can comment on the R2 Time Bandits from Anchor Bay? Is that release the best available? Does it contain the same extras as the Criterion?

Pioneer announced some new stuff recently and among those were a receiver, VSX-D912K, which seems to be quite capable: o 110 watts x 6 o Auto MCACC with microphone o Dolby Digital EX o DTS ES, 96/24 o NEO 6 o Dolby Pro Logic II o Component Video Switching o 5 Assignable digital inputs...

I have been looking at the Pioneer VSX-45TX which seems like a nice piece of hardware but I have some questionmarks: What does "THX Select" really mean? What functionality does a receiver have when it bears that mark? Is that the "old" THX cert? And what does "THX Cinema Mode" actually...

My DVD player, a Pioneer, has settings for sharpness and gamma correction in 10 step settings and my projector, a sony 10ht, has settings for sharpness and brightness in a range of 0 to 100. Now, does it matter where I change things? Should sharpness be adjusted on the DVD player or should...

Well, the R4 ones at least but I assume this is of interest to most R1 folks as well. This is the current status from michaeldvd: Back To The Future Live Review-A-Thon We are proud to announce a worldwide exclusive - our 24 hour Back To The Future Trilogy Review-A-Thon. We are in...

while looking up the Near Dark entry at anchor bay, I noticed this (for 2002 release): MUSKETEERS COLLECTION, THE From director Richard Lester comes the original swashbuckling comedy THE THREE MUSKETEERS and its worthy sequel THE FOUR MUSKETEERS in a special 2-Disc Set. Widescreen (16x9)...

Would it be better with a separate forum just for reviews? Now I count 12 HTF REVIEWs on the first page in this forum and it seems like every second thread is a review when scanning the subjects. Don't get me wrong, I think it is great that Ron puts a lot of time and effort into this! I...

The R1 version of the Cleoptra SE (3 discs) is apparently missing the Exit music after the movie ends. Anybody know if this is the same with the R2 or R4 version?
