    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Ronin

    I'm a weak, weak man. I went to Frys to get Silence of the Lambs and ended up buying Ronin as well since I love that movie so much. The higher quality sound should at least make me feel not so guilty about buying it if the video doesn't live up to its full potential.

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Ronin

    I really love this movie and right now I'm debating between getting it or Akira, which I also love. Both seem to have less than impressive image quality but at least the sound will be a bigger upgrade from the 2.0 Japanese on Akira compared to the decent 5.1 sound on the SD DVD for Ronin. I just...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: I Am Legend

    Like the review said, the first two-thirds of the movie are pretty great. Once the Dark Seekers are revealed, the rest of the movie sort of falls apart for me. Didn't really like the ending and they didn't expand enough on the progress of the creatures. I actually liked the documentary on...

    What horriffic timing...

    I understand how single format owners feel. Because trust me, if HD-DVD fails and it becomes strictly a Blu-ray world I'll be pretty angry that I spent money I could have spent on more movies on additional hardware because the studios and CE manufacturers couldn't get their crap together and...

    What horriffic timing...

    The movies those people bought won't suddenly stop working now that Warner has gone exclusive with Blu-ray. Right now I have 2 HD-DVD players and if that format fails, I'll be a little disappointed that I could have used that money on more Blu-ray movies but it won't stop me from continuing to...

    What horriffic timing...

    Similar to how Paramount announce their HD-DVD exclusivity and cancelled titles that were already produced? Honestly, I have no sympathy for anyone who gets into a format war uninformed as an early adopter and then feels slighted. That's the risk you take. The DVD version of all these movies...

    HD DVD add-on price cut with 5 free movies.

    Bought the addon from Amazon and they threw in 2 free movies plus King Kong that comes in the package. So with the 5 from the mail-in deal, that's 8 free movies. So with the 7 free movies, it's like I'm getting the addon for free. Too bad my damn Xbox 360 chose to crap out so now I have to send...

    Does TV Size Matter When Viewing HD or Blu Ray?

    I wouldn't think it was worth it. Currently I have a 30 inch HDTV in my bedroom and 480p dvds look pretty good on it. A jump in resolution on such a small screen wouldn't be that noticeable. If you don't plan on going bigger than 70 inches then I wouldn't both with HD-DVD or Blu-Ray. You could...

    Most HDTV owners clueless?

    What I do to people I know who have great HDTVs but supply it with a crappy signal is invite them to my house. When they see the difference between the quality of the image on their TV and mine it does way more than me going into a long discussion on how to properly use their Tvs.

    I need HELP!! Screwed up my Samsung TV!

    Did the same thing with my Philips after after multiple other problems with it. Had to go through each value slowly and try to come up with a reasonable looking picture. I've replaced that TV since but it's a real pain in the ass to get it back to normal. I now have a Samsung and I know the two...

    30-36" HDTV wanted. How much to sell old Panny for as well?

    I just got the Samsung txp3064w from BJ's for $499 top replace the Philips 30 inch I had that was giving all sorts of trouble. TV seems pretty damn good for the price and the picture looks great with all sources, especially HDTV. Only thing I don't like about it is that it locks the aspect ratio...

    my SONY hdtv w/o DVI/HDMI, what am i missing??

    Would it make sense to buy one of these TVs without a DVI or HDMI input right now? I have a 30 inch Philips that has HDMI right now but I'm looking to upsize for football season to a Samsung 47 inch. However, this TV doesn't have either of those inputs so I'm not sure if I want to do it. It's a...

    possible to get progressive signal to tv without progressive scan dvd player?

    Yeah I learned that when I finally bought the TV. I hooked it up with S video and was about to return the damn TV. I had to run back to the store and buy some component cables. It looks great now. I also saw an ad in Brandsmart for a Toshiba SD5915 progressive scan player that I'm seriously...

    possible to get progressive signal to tv without progressive scan dvd player?

    This is a good question. I'm planning on purchasing the Philips 30PW850H 30inch HDTV and I have a Toshiba SD2805 5 disc dvd player that's not progressive. I really don't want to buy a new dvd player, especially one without a changer so I was trying to stick with my current one. Would the picture...

    Spider-Man 2, which version??!!

    I'm getting the 2 disc SE, that will be good enough for me. Unless the DTS track is supremely better than the DD track I don't see the point. Some DD tracks have been knocking my socks off lately so I don't really care if it's DTS or DD as long as it sounds good on my system. And from all...

    Waiting for price drops

    I don't buy games at full price anymore. Maybe I'm getting out of gaming as much as I used to. Or maybe it's because I think that most of the games being released are either rushed, unfinished product or just straight up crap but I haven't been feeling like I've been getting my $50 worth from...

    why do no waterfalls feed direct into the sea?

    Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica pretty much flows directly into the Caribbean. It ends just a few feet back from the shoreline proper and flows into the sea.

    Retrosepctive review of Futurama Season 4 Episode #58 - Jurassic Bark

    Futurama does this from time to time like the time-skip episode where Fry got Leela to fall in love with him and he couldn't figure out why. And when they are about to blow up the stars that were causing the skips in time he sees that he had actually moved the stars themselves to profess his...

    "Alien vs Predator" to get R rated director's cut DVD?

    Please don't give them anymore ideas. I mean we're already hearing about Gremlins VS Ghoulies and Chuckie VS Leprechaun being in the works. Just kidding, at least I hope I am.

    Eek The Cat DVD Release?

    In a film with so many high points MJ's "Go Get em Tiger" line was definitely the highest point for me. It was one of the most true to the origins moments in any comic book film so far. I just loved how she stood by her man and supported him although she knows the road ahead is going to be a...

    That's another problem I have with that scene. Banner should NOT have control over his hulking out. Once he is angered he should lose it and not be able to maintain his humanity, which is the cause of his struggle to repress his emotions. And I'm pretty sure a guy zapping you with an...
