    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Superman Returns - Two-Disc Special Edition (RECOMMENDED).

    Ok, thank goodness I'm not the only one complaining about the video quality. To me, I think the video looks kind of muted and dark and for a while I thought it was my LCD's HDMI interface that had somehow screwed up. I even ran DVE last night just to calibrate it a bit but it seemed to make no...

    STM-NEW 4 DISC SPECIAL EDITION DVD-WHAT?!! NO ORIGINAL 1978 SOUNDTRACK??!!!!!

    Thanks Adam. I passed by that Best Buy just now and they are sold out. I ended up going to the HMV nearby and picked it up there. Paid an extra $10 for it but at least I don't have to start looking for it everywhere now. Can't wait to watch Superman Returns and S:TM tonight on my 50" RPLCD. Lobo

    STM-NEW 4 DISC SPECIAL EDITION DVD-WHAT?!! NO ORIGINAL 1978 SOUNDTRACK??!!!!!

    I'm went to two separate Best Buys here in Toronto and one place told me that they were sold out and the other told me that they hadn't stocked the item on the shelf yet. Anyone have any luck finding this set in Toronto at either Future Shop or Best Buy? Jose

    The Transformers: The Movie (1986) 20th Anniversary DVD

    I grabbed this set today (yaaaaaay!) and this is the first DVD of the movie that I have owned. I previously only had the VHS copy and a downloaded version. I haven't gone through any of the extras but I did compare the widescreen, fullscreen and downloaded copies. To my surprise, the...

    HK AVR130 for $399CDN worth it?

    Just thought I'd write back and say that I'm extremely happy with this receiver. Great piece of hardware especially for the price I paid. Definitely recommend it as an entry level and then some receiver. Jose

    Delay in switching from DD to Prologic to DD with HK-AVR130

    Thanks for the info guys! Hard to believe that my older receiver didn't suffer from this but I guess I can live with it. :) Jose

    Delay in switching from DD to Prologic to DD with HK-AVR130

    I just got the HK AVR130 and after hooking everything up and doing some testing I noticed that whenever a digital signal (say from a DVD) switches from Prologic to DTS/Dolby Digital the receiver seems to hesitate for a half second or so before it syncs up and sound can be heard again. A good...

    HK AVR130 for $399CDN worth it?

    I saw that Future Shop here in Canada has this receiver on sale this weekend from the normal $699 they usually sell it for. I'm thinking of replacing the Technics SA-DX940 I have in my family room and was wondering if it was a good deal or not? I can probably get $200CDN for the Technics so I'd...

    Can you name this french movie?

    A couple of years ago I watched a movie on Showcase (channel up here in Canada) during one of their late night runs of r-rated flicks. From what I remember, the movie was sub-titled because originally I think it was french, it had "incestual" type qualities because the main character was in love...

    Question on X-men 2 deleted scenes on DVD

    Yup, that's actually a decent deleted scene with Jubilee. Ray H., thanks for the explaining the very slight difference. :) And you're right, in the Mystique one she does indeed find something relating to Nightcrawler. Kind of took forever to finally get to it IMHO. I dunno, but does anyone...

    Question on X-men 2 deleted scenes on DVD

    I ran through the deleted scenes on the second dvd and like the review on here had stated, they were very lacking and with some you couldn't even tell the difference from the original scene. One such scene is the Wolverine killing the intruder in the kitchen. What the hell is the difference from...
