the following recent Columbia releases were 4:3 full-frame in the US yet great looking anamorphic transfer in Europe - WHY? Perfect - 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen The Principal - 1.85:1 anamorphc widescreen Mo Money - 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen why do americans have to suffer 4:3 hell...

just checked out the new Crimson Tide SE and it is not so special after all they used the same anamorphic transfer as with the 1st release, however, due to a higher bitrate and better encoding technologies the end result is a step up sound is the same solid 5.1 mix what is really...

FOX will be releasing first seasons of Ally Mc Beal and Dark Angel in Region 2 Europe in April

MGM is going to release Road House in Region 2 in February

anyone know where I can find a list with all THX certified DVDs ?

anyone know what the deal is with Warner presenting the extras in 16:9 yet not encoding them anamorphically ? this goes for both the documentary as well as the additional interviews - really annoying and it makes no sense whatsoever

unlike the R1, the R2 edition of the DC of Almost Famous will get DTS in Englisch (as well as Dolby Digital) after The Mummy Returns another blow for Region 1

again DVD File more or less is disappointed with the video quality while Digital Bits gives it Grade A for the first four and a B+ for the last (ironically DVD File thought the last one had the best video quality - go figure) who are we to trust I ask you ?

coming February 11th from MGM in Region 2 Director's cut! Dolby 5.1 Sound Brand new documentary 'Flesh and Steel' Additional production reel with DC scene build Commentaries by Director Paul Verhoeven and Screenwriter Deleted scenes 2 original featurettes Photo gallery...

anyone know why Godfather Part II is spread out on two disc while Apocalypse Now Redux fits on one disc - given the same running time it seems kind of odd, and both a Coppola movies from Zoetrope

while DVD File rips the picture quality apart giving it 2.5 stars (must a a new low for a new Columbia Title) Digital Bits gives it an A rating - what is going on ?

is it just me or do the DTS soundtrack, while sounding great, have less LFE impact than the Dolby counterpart ? I noticed Widescreen Review said something to the effect in their Desperado Review but I found the same on Air Force One. Any comments ?
