    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Doom

    I saw the DVD at home twice, once with my sons and once with my girlfriend. Both are more critical with movies then myself and they both found it a worthwhile and entertaining movie. I found it for what it was, not oscar-bound but still worth a watch. Like a lot of Doom fans I was disappointed...

    Things I wish I would have done differently in my project

    I built a "in wall" entertainment center for my 36" tv, receiver, DVD player and all the other electronics. Well after 8 years the tv died so I upscaled to a 47" rear projection, too bad the width of the niche is 40". Anyway I am in the process of reconstructing the width by use of a saws-all. I...

    Rear Projection TV help

    My concern with DLP bulb replacement is with a 1000 to 2000 hr bulb, I'd be replacing them every 12 to 18 months because this TV would be used everyday for either movies or regular viewing. What is the average cost for these bulbs and does it take a technician to replace and is recalibration...

    Rear Projection TV help

    My concern with Plasma and with DLP is cost and new technology, from what I have heard and read Plasma and DLP have life time issues (1000 - 2000 hour). And for I could afford I would be forced to get smaller display. Rick

    I was a member of Columbia house and was thinking of rejoining them until I discovered that their website doesn't tell you what version or edition their titles are, I checked with them about it and their reply was you have to contact them to find out which version they are selling . I know when...

    War of the Worlds - Pendragon version already on DVD!

    I picked it up at Wal-Mart last week for the same cost, it is definitely low budget. It follows the book fairly close, the special effects are poor and the acting is poor. I bought it because it is the only movie to follow the book and the cost was lower then what I have paid for some "High...

    Don't they make scary movies anymore???

    I vividly remember leaving the theater in broad daylight after seeing TCM (original)when it came out and just being in total shock as to what I had just seen, I felt like I was in a daze and it was by no means the first "horror" movie I had seen. As far as more recent movies I would say The...

    Disposable DVD off to a slow start

    Has anyone stopped to think how many "rebels without a cause" will buy one to: a.) See if it really works. b.) Experiment to see if they can counter the boobie trap. c.) Screw the system by watching them and then taking them back for a refund complaining their defective? RickB

    War of the worlds -only center speaker?

    I picked up the George pal version of "War of the worlds" awhile ago and finally sat down to view the DVD. Upon listening I was surprised to find that the center speaker seemed to be the only source of sound for the movie. The Denon receiver I have was showing Dolby stereo on the read out, but...
