    Babylon 5: Should I invest my money and time? ANSWER IN POST #500

    My season 1 set arrived today. I got it from Amazon.ca. There is no booklet though. Did season 1 have a booklet? Is it worth the trouble of trying to get it from Amazon or Warner Bros? I rented the pilot disc. It wasn't a great pilot but decent. I'm still keen to get into the series and see...

    Babylon 5: Should I invest my money and time? ANSWER IN POST #500

    I've read number of threads about Babylon 5 here and at other forums and I have now decided to also take the plunge. I've just ordered season one. Fingers crossed I'll enjoy it as much as most here have. I've read plenty of comments about season 1 being not as good as the rest so I'll keep...

    Columbia's New TV on DVD Poll - What Show Will You Pick?

    Wow, it was tough to choose. There were a few I'd like. The top two were Action and Grosse Pointe. I went with Grosse Pointe. I missed a few early episodes and would really like to see them. I thought it was a hilarious show.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: The Adventures of Indiana Jones (Highly Recommended)

    Thanks for the review! I was thinking I might be able to resist the urge to pick this set up. I have the films on LD. But now I can't wait to relive the trilogy on dvd. The 2 hour documentary sounds great.

    Dawson's Creek Season 2 announced (and music replaced!)

    I was looking forward to this announcement but now I'm really annoyed. I'd rather pay a bit more and have better picture quality and the original music. I had hoped that season one would sell well enough to justify more discs for future sets but it hasn't happened.

    The Eternal Angelriffic Thread (Merged)

    I believe Angel starts up again this week and I have been able to watch the first two episodes. I enjoyed the first quite a bit. It has some great jokes and a reasonable story for a season opener. I wasn't as pleased with the second episode but I'll refrain from commenting on it further. On a...

    Anybody know any websites that cover new TV Shows?

    The best TV website I've found are: Television Without Pity They have recaps of a whole load of shows. I don't read the recaps very often though. Sometimes a recap will be 15-20pages. They also have forums. The Futon Critic Is probably best for news. They occasionally review shows and...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: "Bend It Like Beckham" (with screenshots)

    I believe the man in the video is Andy Harmer. He is credited on the IMDB as playing David Beckham. The guy in the music video doesn't even look that much like the real David Beckham or sound like him. I haven't seen the R1 dvd but on the R4 dvd there are some outtakes from the music video...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: "Bend It Like Beckham" (with screenshots)

    That "agonizingly lame" guy in the music video is not David Beckham. It's just some impersonator.

    ***Official CABIN FEVER Discussion Thread

    I saw Cabin Fever last night. It was great fun. It definitly had some good scares and disgusting gore but it was also quite funny. Director Eli Roth was in attendance and spoke a bit afterwards (actually he breifly introduced the film too. He said "if you throw up I'll consider it a standing...

    X2 (2003)

    I saw a midnight screening during the week and thought the movie was great. I always thought the first was pretty good but nothing too spectacular. This sequel improves on it in every way. I enjoyed it so much that today I went to a local comic book store and bought The Essential X-men Vol.1...

    Dawson's Creek - First Season impressions.

    I only got this set yesterday. So far I've watched the first episode and listened to it's commentary (and watched Joey's song in the Beauty Contest). I enjoyed the episode and commentary but I'm a little disappointed in the video quality. I'll probably get all the seasons they release. I...

    Should I Get Laserdisc?

    I have had a Laserdisc player for a few years now but I've only got about 30 Laserdiscs. I do have the Star Wars Special Edition set though. I'd love to listen to these in Dolby Digital but I just rang a Home Theatre store and the guy could hardly stop laughing. He reckons It'll be virtually...

    When the characters are recreating Hamlet and Chief Wiggum is stabbed Ralph: Daddy, why is you stomach crying? In context that was very funny.

    24: Is there going to be a Season 3

    It might be cool to have each season focus on a different CTU member but the staff there remains the same. So Jack has to help another member of the team deal with their 24hours. (I haven't seen any of season 2 as it's not on here in New Zealand yet).

    Felicity Season 2 up for preorder!

    Good to know a second season is coming. I think I'll buy the first now (I didn't wanna get the first and then not have anymore come out). Thanks for posting the info!

    I just signed up for the mailing list. I was 401. I didn't see much of the show on tv. But i liked what I did see and would be keen to get the dvd set.

    Who else here really enjoys 'SPEED 2'?

    I quite like it. I often annoy my friends with my Willem Defoe impersonation. "How do ya like your vacation so far?" It helps that I'm a huge Sandra Bullock fan and she looks great in this one!

    It may just be me but I feel that ICE AGE was alot better then Shrek

    I didn't like Shrek. I saw it for the first time on DVD and had heard a lot of hype. I was expecting something clever and original. Instead I got fart jokes and a fairly dull and quite conventional story. I liked Antz. It seemed more like a regular film than the others.

    Movies that really strain credibility.

    I'm always bothered by a couple of things in The Net. 1- The "hot new game" with "amazing graphics" is clearly Wolfenstein 3d. It was old and no longer impressive even back when the movie came out. 2- The virus makes the screen disintegrate. Its looks pretty silly to me. I can live...

    DVD Rot! My Sweet Hereafter has gone to the sweet hereafter

    My copy of Blade did this. It was one of the first discs I bought so I watched it quite a bit. Then a year or two later I tried to play it and it pixelated and froze after the layer change (I think it was in chapter 37 or something). I asked Newline customer services and the customer service...
