    Have You Ever Bought a DVD Instead of Going to the Movies?

    For the less movies part I am not sure. The studios know that the larger % now comes from video and other uses. We may see a larger number of films have more limited runs or more straight to video like Disney. When they see they can pick up some change a few planned straight to video have hit...

    How many dvd's will you buy this year?

    After a few years of this. Look at the past it has been 200 a year for the last two and 100 before that to 1998. So it should stay stable or so my wife hopes.

    HTF REVIEW: "101 Dalmations II: Patch's London Adventure (with screenshots)

    My first thoughts here was its widescreen *&^&*&& after all of the other VHS transfers from Disney. My 5 year old did not even notice, if grandma had been there she sure would have and felt she got a broken product, but as for Kat and I we just sat together and enjoyed. So it is the adults who...

    HTF REVIEW: "The Peter Sellers Collection" (with screenshots)

    It is always fun when you start discovering movies and B&W is not bad when the story is good. Still for Peter Sellers if someone will do the Mouse that Roared I will be very excited.

    HTF REVIEW: "My Big FAT Greek Wedding" (with screenshots)

    The only negative comment I had about the film at the theater was the colors etc did not jump out and the film looked a little washed out. So I expected nothing more from the DVD.

    Hitchcock: what to buy next?

    The thing about Hitchcock is the depth. You can be in the mood for multiple types of movies not just his trademark suspense. For the odd ball day there is my favorite Trouble With Harry or if that mood does not strike you there is Farmers Wife and Mr. and Mrs. Smith (I know by the numbers but...

    HTF REVIEW: "My Big FAT Greek Wedding" (with screenshots)

    Cannot wait. As a couple who has one half that was open enough that its half should marry a nice Scandinavian girl and have kids, well it beats one country. The other half was supposed to meet a nice Philippine boy and have even more kids. Since it is us as part of both families with one kid...

    Disney Releases THE MOON SPINNERS in 1.33:1

    Do agree that P&S is tossed around at almost anything that is in 1.33. It is easy to mask the flat films. The memories of the early 60s to 70s have alot of projectionists leaving the last matte up and if the picture fits that was it. On true open films it would be nice for the original...

    National Lampoons Animal House

    It appears that most movies sell best in the first couple weeks or release or rerelease. There are advantages of going out of print since it shows up on everyones new release timelines.

    HTF REVIEW: "Pennies From Heaven" (with screenshots)

    Thanks for reminding me about this one. This was our lazy weekend type of stuff with mom and grandma and the old movies of even then. Makes you appreciate both the gains and losses we have had since then.

    Best Buy charges above SRP

    When Best Buy started years ago you did not have to check if they had it, it was the h* of a deal when I lived in Minnesota, never a need to shop around. At that time they operated out of second level malls, huge barn like places with cheap rent, huge display piles stacked on the floor, limited...

    HTF REVIEW: "The Country Bears" (with screenshots)

    I liked the idea one reader had of that was 13 no sales for disney for him this year. It is at least 8 for me reading my old emails to Disney saying no. So in this group how many thousand yes thousand no sales has Disney had. That may speak. To Ron Thanks, I was looking to buy this one, but...

    Warners New Scooby Doo! I give up!

    The way the recyling of Scooby episodes goes, I swear this is all that Warner can find after sending the rest to Cartoon Network. OK guys look beyond the first row.
