    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: The Frighteners - Peter Jackson's Director's Cut (RECOMMENDED)

    That's a great review, Steve. I bought this one (with the Kong movie ticket inside) Like you, I drooled over the LD set with all of the supplements, so I'm glad to (finally)pick up the DVD version. Very quirky and very entertaining. -Mike

    I'm in Toronto. Anyone know if this Best Buy exclusive will apply to the Canadian stores? Whatever version I wind up with, I'm sure it'll be awesome. -Mike

    Any word on The Munsters season 2?

    Got a bit of a problem with this. I can't get it out of the EXTREMELY tight plastic slip cover without damaging the cardboard inner case containing the discs. I'm thinking of bringing it back to FutureShop and getting one of the staff to demonstrate how to remove the contents. Very frustrating...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Jaws - 30th Anniversary Edition

    "I'm curious as to how a purist listen's to the mono track. Do you watch the film through just one speaker? Or is it two channel Mono? Or even 3 channel Mono?" __________________________________________________ _________ Depending on your receiver's settings, I'd imagine you'd listen to the...

    The Office (US) - Season 1

    I love this show. Did I miss something? I tuned in on Thursday night, May 3 to watch 'The Office'. It did not air that evening, much to my surprise. I'm in Toronto and it normally airs Tuesdays at 9:30. Have they cancelled it or moved it to another time slot? Just wondering. Thanks. -Mike

    S-Video or component cable?

    Thanks, Bob. I've got a much better understanding now, why to go the component route. Thanks, everyone for your advice. -Mike

    S-Video or component cable?

    Thanks, John and Leo. Component video it is! -Mike

    S-Video or component cable?

    Thanks, Leo. Just to be clear, his DVD player has outputs for BOTH s-video and component. His new TV has inputs for both as well. It sounds from your answer that you feel Component is the better route to take rather than S-Video under these circumstances to get better picture quality. I just...

    S-Video or component cable?

    Just wondering if I can get a little advice. A friend of mine has just purchased a 42" plasma set which is inexpensive by plasma standards. It's really an EDTV rather than a true HDTV set which is made by a company called Prima. Anyway, his DVD player (which he does not plan to replace in the...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: FOX Film Noir - LAURA

    Interesting. I purchased the 3 Fox Noir titles tonight. I'm in Toronto. 'Panic in the Streets' and 'Call Northside 777' had the Film Noir art on the discs themselves, while 'Laura' had the Fox Studios art on the disc (which really is no art at all). Disappointing, but it's the movie up on the...
