    The King's Speech - quick review

    I ran across this story today and thought it was a joke at first: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-oscars-re-edit,0,7961165.story The gist of the story is that Harvey Weinstein wants to edit some of the profanity from the film to appeal to a wider audience. I'm not saying 'he...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Fantasia -- in Blu-ray

    Quote: Yes! I have an interesting anecdote about Destino. It was released in theaters around Christmastime, in front of a print of 'The Triplets of Bellville.' I completely missed it! I was waiting in the concession line for an awfully long time, and when I entered the theater, all I...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Fantasia/Fantasia 2000 (Special Edition Combo Pack)

    It would have been nice to have the surviving audio intact, as Deems Taylor was a pretty important figure in the Fantasia mythos. However, I am personally more bothered by the 'virtual vault' extras. I've really given BD-Live a chance, and it continues to disappoint. Accessing the BD-Live...

    Inception Blu-ray "Skips"

    I can also confirm this is a Samsung player issue. I have a BD-P4600 and have encountered the same issue, not just on 'Inception' but on numerous other BDs. A slight 'hiccup' occurs and the sound drops out, followed by the picture scrambling to 'keep up.' From that point forward the audio is...

    Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Press Event Photos, Video and Contest

    This was one of my favorite films of 2010... and to my surprise, it was one of my wife's favorite movies as well. HTF's coverage of the press event is fantastic... thanks for posting it. The blu-ray release has really crept up on me. This is a must-own disc. Lastly, and this may not be...

    Purchased "Caddyshack" after the warning & WB logo nothing happens - anyone have this problem

    Greg, Quick question. Do you have BD-Live enabled through your blu-ray player's settings/menu? If you do, disable it and try the disc again. I had this exact problem with a few blu rays a while ago and once I disabled discs' abilities to try to access BDLive, the problem went away...

    Lost: Season Six

    ABC sets the record straight about LOST finale's plane crash images. What's the final word on those images of the crashed plane over the end credits? "...the photographs were really just a nostalgic, transitional touch added by ABC executives — and not executive producers Damon Lindelof and...

    Lost: Season Six

    Here's a really interesting Damon Lindelof interview. There are subjects raised during the interview that some of you may consider *spoiler* material. In that case, please DON'T click on this link: LOST finale explained Ron: I agree that Sawyer's line about Lapidus looking like someone...

    AVATAR Blu-ray Looks Amazing

    It's tough to avoid using hyperbole when describing just how jaw-droppingly gorgeous this blu ray looks. On my 55" Samsung LED, the 2D images have a surprising (even shocking) level of depth due to the sheer perfection of the video. I saw it in IMAX 3D originally, and while this doesn't touch...

    Lost: Season Six

    If only that item were real! :( One of ThinkGeek's most famous April Fool's "fake items" was the Tauntaun sleeping bag... which was so wildly popular that it ended up becoming a real item. In fact, I got one as a gift last Xmas. It's amazing. If for whatever reason, ThinkGeek found a way to...

    Lost: Season Six

    I agree with this too. Writing a television series is enough of an organic process as it is, but it is especially messy when you're juggling so many character and tying together such a range of histories and events. On top of that, when you're on the other side of the fence, doing the actual...

    Lost: Season Six

    This season has been a mixed bag for me so far. We're eight episodes in, and I have far, far more questions than I did going into it. So far, we've been introduced to several new characters, and all of the main characters are still mostly in the dark about the nature of the Island and the...

    Lost: Season Six

    Quote: William Atherton is so good at that sort of role. A careful examination at the maneuvering between sideways Ben and the Principal yielded mixed results for a lot of fans. There's much back-and-forth about whether or not Ben should/could have used the '30 emails over 3 months' evidence...

    Lost: Season Six

    There are wildly divergent opinions about which mysteries have been resolved and which haven't. It's all a matter of perspective. In regards to the brainwashing room, I'd have been inclined to agree with your opinion, were it not for this: A friend unfortunately spoiled me with news that...

    Lost: Season Six

    It has been stated officially that we will find out what the Island 'is,' but even that is up to interpretation. Does it mean we will have the inherent nature of the Island vaguely explained, or is the Island something more tangible that can be specifically named? We won't know anything until...
