    Robocop (4k Master Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I have the disc. It seems to be one of those Best Buy early release they didn't advertise as such.I am very happy with the transfer.Like mentioned, it seems to use a new copy protection.I noticed I couldn't skip the FBI warnings by accessing the second chapter, which always worked before.

    Robocop (4k Master Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Just picked this up and am thoroughly confused. Where is the information that this is a "Remastered for 4k" title? Because it certainly doesn't mention it on the box art.

    *** Official LET ME IN Discussion Thread

    I have read the book and seen both films and love them all equally. Saying that, there is nothing implied in the original movie that Hakan had been with Eli since he was a child, at least in my opinion (and I have watched it numerous times). When they show you the picture of him as a child, I...

    24: Season Eight

    My issue is the context of the scene. It's not like he is chasing her to stop some terrorist act or conspiracy. He wants evidence that she has, which she feels she needs to stay alive. He corners her, she surrenders the evidence with her hands up. He raises his pistol and calmly puts a bullet...

    24: Season Eight

    For sure, but there are hundreds of ways to make it more entertaining without watching our hero character execute some young woman at point blank range for no reason except some warped revenge. Have him tag her when she is crossing the street or when she has a hostage, anything but pointing a...

    24: Season Eight

    I had a huge problem with the Dana execution. The best punishment for her would be to go to prison for treason. He had what he wanted from her, just tie her up and alert the authorities. The only way I could excuse that is if she pulled the trigger on Renee herself. How much did she have to do...

    Here is what I think about llllaaasstt nnnuuuu night's episode... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Boy, they really over estimated the importance the viewer will give some macguffin "peace plan". Does anyone really care? Was it worth completely diluting Cherry Jone's character to a buffoon? Is...

    Here is a review that says he is still alive. http://www.avclub.com/articles/600am-800am,39852/ Quote: The question now is, what next? Samir is still on the run, but with the major crisis over, I can't get too invested in tracking him and his men down. -------------- I firmly believe he was...

    *** Official CLASH OF THE TITANS (2010) Discussion Thread

    Saw this in regular 2d. Clash 80 was one of my all time movies growing up. I enjoyed this for some mindless special effects and good action. But there are some serious problems. First, Worthington is just not a leading man, he was fine in Avatar but 1/2 the time he was a cgi character. Just like...

    24: Season Eight

    Loved the episode(s). I can actually admit the writers did something I didn't see coming. Not that I didn't think they would kill him but not in that way. It's kind of a cheat though, unless they knew CTU was coming and Dana was in on it, why tape delay? Another small nit, Jack figuring the mole...

    24: Season Eight

    It is bittersweet hearing the news. I love the show but the whole experience was getting tiring. I was weeks behind watching it on DVR when I used to sit by the TV on Monday nights. Same thing happened with Heroes for me, but Heroes lost me around episode 4 this year, I still had interest in...

    Let's shoot for next week. What is the best time for you? You can pick them up during the day at my work (St Pete near Feathersound), or, after 6, my house (Clearwater). I just have them in a big tote that you can just take. I'll send you my gmail privately. Just respond what time is best for...

    24: Season Eight

    Wow, I have watched every season and got an entirely different spin on the Jack character. Usually you have to drag him back kicking and screaming and only relents when one of his loved ones are in trouble.

    Hey,sorry I didn't get back sooner, the site didn't notify me that you replied. I still have the LDs if you are interested. Let me know. I live in Clearwater and work in St. Pete.

    24: Season Eight

    Some of my nits... Jack has zero reason to stay, stop with all this "need to get to L.A." stuff. Nothing is keeping him there. Why is Chloe trying to make Jack feel guilty? She knows what the guy has done for his country. There are hundreds of paid professionals in "CTU" and she feels only...

    I was cleaning out my garage this weekend and found my tote of old Laserdiscs. There are some rare stuff in there but I don't feel like going the ebay route since I have no way to check if everything plays 100%. Both of my old LD players don't work anymore. They are free to a good home if you...

    Blu-ray Review HTF Blu-ray Review: ORPHAN

    I liked the movie much more then I thought I would. When you learn the back story (and some of it wasn't filmed or mentioned) you start to understand the actions. This isn't some cheap scare bad child movie. I was very intrigued by the alt ending. I like it better then the theatrical one but...

    What Blu-Ray to get for KDL-46XBR2

    Others will mention their high priced players they bought but only one player really stands alone, the PS3. And now with the Slim which lets the receiver decode high def audio, it is even a greater margin. The most compatible of any player with timely firmware upgrades and picture quality that...

    If you are saying they had an explanation and cut it for the theatrical release, that makes it even worse. Muntz is probably the worst villian in the history of movies. He is shown as a disgraced hero, because of embarassment??? Compare that to the story Mr Incredibles forced...

    Yeah, but you can have great 3D without gimmicky effects. The scene in Monsters V Aliens, when Susan is hover chasing through the tunnels in the spaceship added so much depth of field, I felt like I was watching it through a window. I'm not asking for the boy scout kid to throw a yo-yo at...

    I put in my Bug's Life DVD for my daughter recently and it fell just as flat for me. I bet if they made Bug's Life today, with a similar story, it would come off better. It looks so plasticy and fake to me. Nemo, Monster's and Wall-E (which I just watched also) are like in another universe...

    I loved it but its the second weakest Pixar film to me. Not as empty and hollow as Bug's Life but close. Amazing artwork and voice acting but this really seemed like one of their opening shorts spread out over 80 minutes. There really isn't a major theme that I can think of. Is it Paradise...

    Terminator Salvation (2009)

    Well, like others said, it was a deeply flawed, fragmented film, but I feel I got my money's worth and I don't think it killed the franchise. On the other hand, how much more can they do with a future war against robots? To me, Skynet could have solved all their problems by releasing random...

    24: Season Seven

    I'm pretty sure what they intended... They wanted viewers to be sweating in their seats, yelling at the TV for her not to turn to the dark side and do a Jack Bauer on this evil man. I would pay top dollar to be able to have that experience like I guess you did. To me, I see a shakey...

    24: Season Seven

    Huh? Is that is what the writer's wanted us to think? What exactly do you think she is going to do? Rip off his shirt and hook up a car battery with jumper cables? Pistol whip him until he talks? or, most likely, cry and sob on the floor until he gives up some information? Geez, I...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Taken - Extended Cut

    I have seen the european version and it still seems to be filmed with PG13 in mind. The scenes extended would still garner an R rating but there is still plenty of that Die Hard 4, lots of gunfire but no blood scenes that make it obvious to what they are doing. Of all the extended cuts I...

    24: Season Seven

    Wow, just wow. Tell me there is another episode next week. I kept looking at their clock and saying there is no way they are going to wrap this up in time, will they? And they don't. Last season was ten times worse as a whole but this season's finale is the worst ever in 24 history. So...

    24: Season Seven

    After the Starkwood plot died and Tony turning bad, this season has lost serious steam. The "faceless" bad guys that want to deploy a bomb in D.C. for some reason that they refuse to tell us. The "make the muslim the hero" plot they shoe horned in. I am surprized Jack didn't french kiss him on...
