    Strange problem with my Sony vpl hw50es

    I've just recenetly mounted my projector on the ceiling and I have everything level and yet the bottom left hand corner of the projected image droops out of uniformity with the rest of the picture. I can't seem to find the right calibration button to correct this anomaly. If anyone has an idea...

    Projection Screen for the Sony VPL-HW50ES

    I'll check out Da Lite. Being able to place speakers behind the screen would be ideal though it's not a deal breaker for me. Thanks, guys

    The Western

    Stars in My Crown (1950) Jacques Tourneur’s understated masterpiece has been lost in the shuffle of great Hollywood Westerns, its story of a town settling in, just after the ravages of the civil war, becomes a microcosm for America’s nationhood. Joel McCrea, an actor film fans are going to have...

    Movies in 3D

    Just caught My Bloody Valentine the other night. The movie was ehh. The 3-D effects were interesting at first, yet there is a curious flatness in the dimensions, I have no idea how the process works but the images have a depth that appears to be tempered with a flat quality, that makes say...

    HTF BD REVIEW: Max Payne - Unrated

    Good review and I agree the film is not a dud, but I skipped it during its theatrical due to bad word of mouth. I think I just have to accept that I should watch all John Moore films and ignore the word on the street. As someone who played the game I thought it was in the spirit of game while...

    The Western

    Well of course getting into semantics regarding what makes a non-western a western or not, would prove fruitless unless there was a mutual understanding that ones personal criteria is just that, personal. But to argue that the European made Westerns aren’t allowed in the genre seems harsh, and...

    *** Official CHE Discussion Thread

    Thoughts on the two ported over from my small blog. Che Part 1 Based on the memoir “Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War” by Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara Released as two films forming a cinematic diptych, director Steven Soderbergh has fashioned them in separate styles, thus I shall...

    *** Official RESCUE DAWN Discussion Thread

    The documentary that Werner Herzog made about Dieter Dengler does clarify a few things. The ending is apparently true, which makes its re-enactment at the end of Rescue Dawn a mixture of surrealism and documentary recreation. I think to get hung up on the film as some sort of formulaic approach...

    Re: *** Official RESCUE DAWN Review Thread

    Jose if you have not seen Little Deiter Needs to Fly, then check it out. The same director made a documentary about the real life Dieter Denglar that is somewhat a classic on its own. It also makes some of the more "campy" elements from the film less campy, as they were apparently true, which...

    Miami Vice (2006)

    pacing. i thought the movie needed some kind of action sequence in the middle portion. it ends up boring most people to tears. though i do like parts of it. when you give the best action scene to a minor female character at the end of the film, well it makes for an interesting divergence from...

    *** Official RESCUE DAWN Review Thread

    Agreed on Bale. There is something about his off kilter grin and trademark "Howdy" that makes this my favorite performance from him. I fear Steve Zahn will be overshadowed by Bale and Jeremy Davies, who have a little more to chew on, yet Zahn played fragility so well that if he doesnt get a...

    *** Official RESCUE DAWN Review Thread

    Anyone else see this. There was a strange effect this film had on me that seems to defy a written description. The film started, the images unfurled and I was in a Herzog film for two hours. The feelings of despair, tenderness and joy that this film gave me, seemed gone from the world after two...

    yea this one left me stumped as well. as a life long horror fan I really wanted to enjoy the big monster stuff, yet its typically dark korean outlook coupled with its rampant anti-americanism (imo) left me feeling indifferent... and yet when i think of that big monster loping through the crowds...

    Roger Ebert reviewing again in 2007 (Passed Away: See Post #158)

    yes using his favorable review of transformers as a template. this could be one of the better harry potter films. at least for those of us who arent aghast at the idea of seriousness in a potter film.

    *** Official (2007) 3:10 TO YUMA Discussion Thread

    This could be the first Mangold film I'd enjoy, though the man has a tendency to boil the flavor out of his films. Anyone else find that the trailer was lacking the very tension that should be the films selling point? Too much gunfire might be the cause. Although I really shouldnt complain...

    DOA: Dead Or Alive, interesting!!!

    Director Cory Yuen has made some of the more brutal Hong Kong action movies over the past 2 decades, Righting Wrongs being a seminal action film from the 80s, which makes this lighter than air, color saturated film somewhat of an anomaly for the director. Those looking for well-choreographed...

    Paris, Je T'aime

    It’s to be expected these days that a film that so completely satisfies audience members expectations of what great cinema can do has been released in the states with little excitement. Here we have 18 shorts directed by some of the world's most distinguished directors as well as a few new...

    Hostel 2

    **SPOILERS** The horror genre continues to be hijacked by the torture/snuff aficionados who seem to mistake art with "reality." More than once I’ve heard movies like Saw, Hostel, and Henry defended by fans saying, "these films have real people as monsters, and that’s more scary than -," and...

    The Messengers-an observation/question

    After inspecting my recently purchased blu ray copy of The Messengers, I noticed the spine of the case advertises this as the theatrical version. Has there been a "directors cut/unrated" blu ray version announced? Also, I guess at this stage in the home video release game bemoaning the fact that...

    Should early adoptors fully support Fox with their higher priced BRD?

    This one hasnt. The only fox title I ever picked up was when I had some store credit to blow, and picked up the Omen (one of the better horror movies to have been released in the past few years, miles ahead of Scott's bloated epic) but back on topic, the store credit made the purchase less...
