    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: The Debut

    I first found out about this movie thanks to the Cinema Laser review, and I was intrigued. I bought the movie Wednesday night at Best Buy, and I was lucky to pick up the last copy on the shelf. I watched the movie the next night, and I was pleasantly surprised at how many of these situations...

    In The Mood For Love Criterion

    This DVD is truly a gem in my collection. Great story, the best supplements(would be cool to have a director's full-length commentary), sumptuous picture and sound, great acting, probably among the best in the criterion collection. I highly recommend this selection for immediate purchase and...

    Next-generation hardware FAQ

    Woo Jae, thanks for the info! I caught that list on gamefaqs.com after putting in that post. I should've thought of that website as soon as I put in that post. I have already played FF7 thanks to borrowing the whole she-bang from him for a month. Can't wait to experience the whole PS1...

    Next-generation hardware FAQ

    I hate to go off the beaten path here, but I was wondering what PS1 games do not work with the PS2. I'm looking to buy a PS2 soon and also want to buy some PS1 RPGs. Do they have a list of those games posted on the net? Thanks for your help!:emoji_thumbsup:

    CDNOW OUTRAGE...Overcharging for WS over P&S version....

    A couple of weeks ago, I found A Beautiful Mind WS DVDs selling for 3 dollars more than its P&S companion @ Wal-Mart. It doesn't make sense, unless you're purposely channeling the public to buy an inferior version of the movie for less as opposed to buying the OAR version for more money. Whether...

    HTF REVIEW: "The Royal Tenenbaums" (CRITERION) (with screenshots)

    I bought this DVD blind, and I'v grown to appreciate it more with every viewing. A lot of people say that Rushmore is better, but I think that Royal Tenenbaums was a much more brilliant film, but I did watch Rushmore on a P&S VHS tape a couple of years ago, and cost prevents me from perusing the...

    Hamburger: The Movie and other cult 80s comedies

    Jesse, sounds like a hell of a double feature! Hardbodies 1 and 2 on a flipper perhaps, or do you want all the extras concerning both movies?:D :b I've always wondered who the hell was that hottie that was in kissing finale of pt. 2? Wow! is all I can say:b :D :wink:

    HTF Review: "Better Off Dead" (With screenshots)

    I can't count the number of times that I watched this cult classic back in the day on VHS. It just had that infectious, non-glossy charm that many eighties movies didn't have, and of course John Cusack in fine form. I also fell in love with Diane Franklin in this movie, but we should've fallen...

    ***Official ET on DVD Discussion (Gift Set, Packaging, Features, Etc) Thread***

    I may be part of the minority on this, but I saw it twice in the theater in 1982, and it was a great experience for me...when I was 10 years old. Today, I'm not sure if the movie will return those same emotions, especially with a $70 price tag. The most I've spent on a single movie was $33 on...

    Very disappointing news re: "In the Bedroom"

    Do I smell a future Criterion here?

    Desperado 2 on it's way? Johnny depp , salma heyak, antonio benderas

    Salma was such a drop-dead gorgeous woman in Desperado, and actually both of the main actresses were quite fetching (the drug lord's woman, also). Can't wait for the next installment, her and Penelope Cruz need to do a movie together sometime(they are friends).:b

    Say Anything DVD

    I am an unabashed Say Anything fan, as one can see by my signature. I pop it in the player and see the opening sequence with Lloyd, D.C., and Corrie all the time and I never get tired of it. The dialogue in this movie goes well beyond "movie dialogue". It's sublime and authentic, like hearing a...

    The average movie patron does not know what??.......

    ...that there are trash cans to put, hmmmmmmm, TRASH in when you leave the theater.:angry: ...Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays aren't the only time to watch movies at the theater.:eek:

    Pan n Scan: DVD vs. AMC, TCM and IFC

    I agree with you guys on most everything on this post. I will give AMC some props for showing Raiders of the Lost Ark in widescreen a month or 2 ago, but it is few and far between. Sundance also shows some OAR, I think Waking the Dead was shown in widescreen, but then they show Requiem for a...
