    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Superman Returns - Two-Disc Special Edition (RECOMMENDED).

    Ok, thank goodness I'm not the only one complaining about the video quality. To me, I think the video looks kind of muted and dark and for a while I thought it was my LCD's HDMI interface that had somehow screwed up. I even ran DVE last night just to calibrate it a bit but it seemed to make no...

    STM-NEW 4 DISC SPECIAL EDITION DVD-WHAT?!! NO ORIGINAL 1978 SOUNDTRACK??!!!!!

    Thanks Adam. I passed by that Best Buy just now and they are sold out. I ended up going to the HMV nearby and picked it up there. Paid an extra $10 for it but at least I don't have to start looking for it everywhere now. Can't wait to watch Superman Returns and S:TM tonight on my 50" RPLCD. Lobo

    STM-NEW 4 DISC SPECIAL EDITION DVD-WHAT?!! NO ORIGINAL 1978 SOUNDTRACK??!!!!!

    I'm went to two separate Best Buys here in Toronto and one place told me that they were sold out and the other told me that they hadn't stocked the item on the shelf yet. Anyone have any luck finding this set in Toronto at either Future Shop or Best Buy? Jose

    The Transformers: The Movie (1986) 20th Anniversary DVD

    I grabbed this set today (yaaaaaay!) and this is the first DVD of the movie that I have owned. I previously only had the VHS copy and a downloaded version. I haven't gone through any of the extras but I did compare the widescreen, fullscreen and downloaded copies. To my surprise, the...

    HK AVR130 for $399CDN worth it?

    Just thought I'd write back and say that I'm extremely happy with this receiver. Great piece of hardware especially for the price I paid. Definitely recommend it as an entry level and then some receiver. Jose

    Which cheap DVD/VCR player to get

    Delay in switching from DD to Prologic to DD with HK-AVR130

    Thanks for the info guys! Hard to believe that my older receiver didn't suffer from this but I guess I can live with it. :) Jose

    Delay in switching from DD to Prologic to DD with HK-AVR130

    I just got the HK AVR130 and after hooking everything up and doing some testing I noticed that whenever a digital signal (say from a DVD) switches from Prologic to DTS/Dolby Digital the receiver seems to hesitate for a half second or so before it syncs up and sound can be heard again. A good...

    HK AVR130 for $399CDN worth it?

    I saw that Future Shop here in Canada has this receiver on sale this weekend from the normal $699 they usually sell it for. I'm thinking of replacing the Technics SA-DX940 I have in my family room and was wondering if it was a good deal or not? I can probably get $200CDN for the Technics so I'd...

    Can you name this french movie?

    A couple of years ago I watched a movie on Showcase (channel up here in Canada) during one of their late night runs of r-rated flicks. From what I remember, the movie was sub-titled because originally I think it was french, it had "incestual" type qualities because the main character was in love...

    Question on X-men 2 deleted scenes on DVD

    Yup, that's actually a decent deleted scene with Jubilee. Ray H., thanks for the explaining the very slight difference. :) And you're right, in the Mystique one she does indeed find something relating to Nightcrawler. Kind of took forever to finally get to it IMHO. I dunno, but does anyone...

    Question on X-men 2 deleted scenes on DVD

    I ran through the deleted scenes on the second dvd and like the review on here had stated, they were very lacking and with some you couldn't even tell the difference from the original scene. One such scene is the Wolverine killing the intruder in the kitchen. What the hell is the difference from...

    Need help with name of 1970s horror flick

    Yes. If you go to amazon.com and look up the vhs copy of the movie and start reading through some of the more recent reviews it's mentioned there. Apparently some 30th anniversary edition or something along those lines. I don't expect very much in regards to dvd extras but to at least have the...

    Need help with name of 1970s horror flick

    So after a year and a half of originally posting this thread I've heard that a DVD version of this movie was recently released. Did anyone else hear this and if so, any ideas where one could purchase it? Amazon.com doesn't seem to carry the DVD so I'm wondering what other sites might. Jose

    Opinion on DVD/VCR SLVD500P combo unit from Sony

    Well, I got the unit today and I have to say that I'm not really impressed with it. First, the s-video quality on dvd playback seems to be of a lesser quality than my older Sony DVP-S330 DVD player. In fact, the composite video out seems to give a better picture which really annoys me. I...

    Opinion on DVD/VCR SLVD500P combo unit from Sony

    I feel the same way too but this unit seems to have everything that I'm looking for in a DVD player. The fact that it's a VCR as well is just a bonus cause my existing one is slowly dying on me. The unit has component out, progressive scan and MP3/SVCD playback which are things I kinda wanted...

    Opinion on DVD/VCR SLVD500P combo unit from Sony

    I have enough Air Miles saved up to get this unit for free and I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on this particular model or on combo units like this in general. Is there any difference from buying the units separately? I'm more concerened about the DVD side but it seems to have all the...

    The Animatrix thoughts?

    Up here in Canada, I noticed that Future Shop's website says that you can get a mail-in free movie ticket to The Matrix Reloaded. I ended up purchasing my copy at HMV and was disappointed to find that it included no such mail-in offer. Is this something unique to Future Shop only? BTW, I got...

    Blade 2

    I got my copy on Thursday and so far I've watched twice. I also saw it in the theatre and was blown away by it. The DVD is definitely reference material. In fact, I think this is the best DVD in my collection in that it makes use of all of the speakers throughout the entire movie. Even the wife...

    LOTR disc(s): consumer backlash against multiple versions, _L.A. Times_.

    Although New Line is trying to let everyone know that two versions (three?) are coming out like most people have said, J6P is not going to know this when walking into a Future Shop. Same goes for the Mom who wants to buy her son a gift before starting school in September. She knows her son loves...

    Suffering without LOTR until Nov.

    I have to agree with some of the people here too. Who cares if the DVD has the theatrical cut anyways? I mean, for those that say that they MUST have that one, are you saying that you'd prefer a DVD with no deleted/added scenes? If that's the case, then why bother getting the new Pulp Fiction...

    Pulp Fiction: CE Review up @ the Digital Bits !

    I have what I'm guessing is the Canadian version of the DVD that I bought over a year ago and I was wondering if it's worth me upgrading to this new one? I mean, other than the DTS and Anamorphic transfer is there anything else that I'm missing? I think I already have the extended/deleted...
