Having grown up in the real "That '70s Show" totally "Dazed and Confused," ;) I was hungry to get my hands on the first two big concert offerings from Rhino on HD DVD. This weekend I picked up "The Eagles Farewell Tour- Live From Melbourne" and "Cream: Royal Albert Hall." I had previously viewed...

I just gave Waterworld a whirl and sampled a number of scenes to get a feel for the picture quality. Well, some of the optical effects are somewhat dated and tend to be where dirt is most apparent. The image is fairly sharp and does have some of that 3-D pop that we have come to expect. My...

Forged when the format was young... I couldn't wait to pop this into the HD A1 when I got home this evening. Though I didn't have time to view the whole film, what I have seen so far looks spectacular. Though much of this film was photographed in soft focus, the increased detail and rich colors...

Some films should not be rushed on to this new format until they are properly...

This HD DVD title has to be the best looking transfer I have seen so far. The picture is incredible sharp and the detail is downright staggering. Some of these HD DVD titles truly create a sense of "being there." It's also funny how I find myself buying titles that I would probably have just...
