    Win a Denon X5200W 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AVR with a copy of Insurgent on Blu-ray!

    My folks had a pretty nice setup with a Denin receiver (my favorite too!). Recently their house was struck by lightning and burned down. Unfortunately home theater can't be a priority in the rebuild but I'd love for them to have a great new keystone for the living room setup in the next place!

    dialog problem

    Thanks for the guess. By older disks I mean older movies, regardless of release date.. Or B-movies. Or anything which wouldn't have a new sound mix. For instance, The Simpsons sounds great. N

    dialog problem

    The disks work fine through my Denon 2700 (they are usually my disks). In fact it was problems on some really pristine (audio) transfers that really got my attention. N

    dialog problem

    My friend has a Denon 3200. For a long time, anyhow, I always noticed that his system was weaker on dialogue from non-pristine sources (ie and older movie). So at my urging he eventually went for a new center speaker (a paradigm). This new center speaker is outstanding, from what I've heard...

    Decalogue question

    I thought I'd just keep this going a little longer. Does anyone have any ideas? N

    Decalogue question

    Could someone list out or point me to a complete list of all the cameos in "The Decalogue?" I mean the fleeting glimpses of characters in an episode from other ones. I have only been able to recognize a couple!

    DVD's Have they Lost their Luster?

    As for extras, I love the ones on certain films. Just a few, though. I think over time I have found that watching extras on most films is a waste of time. I just forget everything fairly quickly and that's that. But it took a while to realize that! As for collecting, I think early on I...

    David Lynch First Timer

    I'm surprised by all the hits "Lost Highway" is getting. That was my favorite until "Mulholland Drive" came along. Right behind them is "Wild at Heart." I think these three are at the heart of what Lynch is, for me. So intense, jagged, emotional. One of the great things film can do is become...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (Recommended)

    My copy is a *white* keepcase, and of course no insert as I said above. As I opened the package I was a bit taken aback by the cheap feel... I am happy to have an anamorphic print of this - never would have considered getting the first version. N

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (Recommended)

    I just received my copy of the new SE of Star Trek VI and found that it has no instert. Is this a fluke or do they not have one? My Stark Trek II: SE did... N

    Studio Classics: The Best Picture Collection

    The best price on this collection is DVDSoon - at about $30. Frankly, it's this low price that even interests me in the set. They are undeniably great films, but not ones I was looking to buy. But I won't be buying if they are sending out the wrong disc. N

    Studio Classics: The Best Picture Collection

    Has anyone received the correct copy from DVDsoon? Can we assume that all Canadian distributors have all bad copies? N
