Thanks RAH for your review. WarGames has a lot of meaning for me. I first saw it in 1983 when I was 12, and I was extremely interested and excited by the cybersecurity aspect of it (very early days as it was). That interest continued and though I never expected I would get the opportunity, in...

+1 Cancelled pre-order. Keeping my Braveheart order though - it shipped this morning. My thanks for the quality issues heads-up...

Oh man, can I relate to that. I too was planning to sit out the war and ceased buying standard DVD's at the end of last year, ending with a fairly decent collection of 1116 titles. However, after the Paramount/Dreamworks announcement and the release of the LG Blu-Ray/HD-DVD ROM drive I...

Justin, I agree entirely with everything you said. I too found it to be "a powerful and moving story" and have also been raving about it. I was originally a little dubious when reading the blurb of the story outline - due to the potential for cliché, etc. However I read/saw a number of...

I heard/read that it was the screenwriter, I can't remember where though. I have some recollection that it was actually Mr Soderbergh himself in a commentary or other special feature. Stewart. Edit: I'm starting to think it was the commentary on Solaris.

Hi Grant, The 2 disc set actually contains both Snowy River movies, and they are both available as seperate single disc releases. Both are anamorphic and both have dts soundtracks. I have the first movie and the dts track is excellent. There is a great review of the disc here, if you...

Quite possibly :) I am extremely pleased with the sound, picture and build quality. It has replaced a Pioneer 535 so it is quite a step up. I had just watched the Extended Edition of the Two Towers 5 times over the previous weekend (once for the movie and then the 4 commentaries), so I was...

Hi Harry, I just bought a 2200 myself in Melbourne and it came multi-regioned, "from the factory" as the salesman said. I have had no issues with any of my non-R4 discs. I believe from what I have read it is usually a firmware upgrade on previous Denon's. Stewart.

X-Files Season #8, disc 5...

Another vote for Robert Rodriguez, his commentary tracks on El Mariachi, Desperado and From Dusk Til Dawn are excellent for a budding film maker, very practical advice...

Ron, Just wanted to thank you for starting this thread. It got me to stop putting off buying this boxset, I was keen but was put off by the reviews of the video transfer... I am *so* glad I did...it arrived yesterday in the mail and I watched 4 episodes last night, plus the...

All I can say is "GET OUT !!!" :) :emoji_thumbsup: ...and count me in when they do get released, 'cause as we all know "you gotta support the team" :)

Ryan, I have a Denon 3801 and use a SBR and SBL...some of my favourite EX/ES discs are... Gladiator - I usually demo the opening battle - arrows flying everywere :) Se7en: Platinum Series The Haunting (dts) Star Wars: Episode 1 & 2 Blade 2 The Art of War The thread mentioned...

Guys, Touchstone have recently released a "Special Edition" in R2/R4...it contains the theatrical cut... It is anamorphic (as was the original R2/R4 release) and is DD5.1. In terms of extras it has the trailer, a tribute to Alan Splet who was the supervising sound editor (this includes...

Steve - We share the same dream... :)
