Count me in as one who LOVED the movie, as well as many of my friends. Great action, great laughs, great movie, and now great DVD release, yay! I am wondering as well whether this edition warrants the release of a Superbit later on. I think I'll take the gamble and buy it now, as a later...

I believe it is Catherine Zeta Jones, not Zita Jones. Great review, I will probably buy this one blind, seeing how I loved Treasure Planet, which was another good animation movie that bombed in theaters but ended up being great with spectacular action.

Superbit Deluxe would be redundant for you. What about people like me who want all the extras PLUS dts and have waited so long for this edition to come out? Do we have to buy two discs as well?

Greg is right on. Don't select "analog", select ext. in or 6 ch. direct or whatever the name is on your receiver.

guys, just to add to the discussion, I found a lot to be desired with this DVD as well, both watching it on my computer screen and my X1 on a 80-inche wide screen. unacceptable when they had two discs. screw the foolscreen version, give us a good widescreen one!! my screenshots...

Interesting Lee... maybe they cheaped out on the 2000 and this compromised the sound quality by a wide margin... I'm really looking forward to comments and reviews of the higher-end models before I finalize my opinion on the subject.

Hey guys, haven't posted in a long time, but I was getting all excited about the new Sony ES line of receivers, with their digital amp technology, it seemed to be the advent of a new era... then I saw the THD numbers, which were HIGHER on the higher-end models than on the non-digital-amplified...

it definitely is because of the digital amp technology, as the entry-level model (STR-DA1000ES), which uses conventional amplification, has a lower THD rating than its big brothers. by the way, I compared a Sony STR-DA2000ES with a Denon AVR-2803, which is about the same price, and the Denon...

can't be beaten for price/performance, a little on the bright side, not as refined as their Connoisseur big brothers from the Energy lineup. very competent speakers, lots of bang for the buck. same engineers worked on Athena series as Connoisseur, and they tell me lots of R&D for the...

Take 5 or Encore, definitely. Then you could go with something like the JVC RX-DV31SL, although I am doubtful of its performance... At least they seem honest in their ratings... ref: http://www.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelId=MODL026994 Denon makes what seems to be a decent HTIB system, the...

just a quick link that explains the house curve quite clearly... http://www.audiocontrol.com/Manuals/...ual_Rialto.pdf page 16/13 (depending on whether you follow the pdf page numbers or the actual document's), or search for house curve. IMO, it does sound a lot better, subjectively of course.

I think Tommy's point was clear: whereas the original film was shot in a certain aspect ratio that was a conscious choice by the filmmakers, since they caould shoot it in any aspect ratio, the technology or budget was simply not there to create a 5.1 mix. I'm sure that if the filmmakers were...

will it really work as well for analog audio? I thought it would probably work well for video and coax digital since the spec of 75ohm is respected... Anyways, I'm pretty much covered on the speaker cable and analog interconnects, I was really just wondering about the component video cable...

Hey guys... long time since I last posted. I wasn't sure where exactly to post this thread, but the sheer level of knowledge in this section prompted me to try here. So here is my question: I always thought solid conductor cables were as good or better than their braided counterparts, except...

I just watched this movie, that I unfortunately bought because of its description as a good mindless action flick. There is a limit to how much the story and acting can suck in a "mindless action movie". There also is a limit to the unrealisticness (?) that can be allowed. This movie, in my...
