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

    The Denon X5200W would combine with my existing Jamo and Paradigm speaker system to bring to life the Dolby Atmos experience, resulting in the initial viewing of Insurgent blowing the walls away in my over 100 year old house. The resulting insurance claim will allow me to rebuild the perfect...

    XM 2 Go

    My girlfriend purchased a Delphi XM 2 Go and really enjoys the favorite artist feature. The unit beeps when a song by the favorite artist plays on another channel. When she was using the unit as a walkman she did not hear any audible beep in the headset. Is there a setting to get the beep...

    DVD Review HTF Review: The Saddest Music In The World

    screen capture comparison I finally received the corrected version. It is easily identifiable by a widescreen banner at the top of the cover. As well, the UPC code for the correct version is 24255 00313.

    Movie Reviews, good or bad?

    I like to read the review from both professionals and regular people. I'm not totally concerned about whether someone loved a movie or not. My biggest concern is why someone loves or hates the movie I am about to see. A negative review could convince me to see a movie, just as in some cases a...

    DVD Review HTF Review: The Saddest Music In The World

    Joel: The commentary is excellent. Guy Maddin and Mark McKinney are together and speak to one another during the entire commentary as they are watching the movie. It is all screen specific and either one is virtually always talking. The comments are varied, dealing with pre and...

    DVD Review HTF Review: The Saddest Music In The World

    Judging by the way they handled the initial release I am afraid they may have taken the zoomed and cropped mistake and just matted it. Presto! 1.78 widescreen. I hope not. I'll chime back in when and if I get my hands on the corrected version.

    DVD Review HTF Review: The Saddest Music In The World

    TVA has contacted me clarifying the original e-mail. The exchange he mentions is for a corrected version of The Saddest Music in the World as Paola stated So this has definitely been fixed though the incorrect version is probably still on store shelves.

    DVD Review HTF Review: The Saddest Music In The World

    Well I have finally heard back from TVA. Paola Sarti stated the following: I have sent off another e-mail asking to clarify whether the exchange he mentions is for a corrected version of the same DVD. Unfortunately, I doubt that is the case. Exchanging for something different makes no sense...

    DVD Review HTF Review: The Saddest Music In The World

    The review on dvdbeaver.com is accurate, the framing and ghosting issues on this DVD are atrocious. I first viewed this movie at the NSI Film Festival for the Winnipeg premiere of The Saddest Music in the World. Both Guy Maddin and Mark McKinney spoke after the screening. They were equally funny...

    Studio Canal: Reference quality opening logo

    Highly recommended is this opening logo by Studio Canal in all its Dts glory at the beginning of Captain Corelli's Mandolin. The fifteen seconds combines stunning visuals as well as sound actively eminating from all the speakers to provide an almost haunting intro to the movie that follows. I...

    And the winner of the worst smelling DVD ever is....

    Interestingly I had a similar reaction to the Book of the Dead as Andrew. I went to Future Shop on Sunday to pick up my copy of Evil Dead. Shortly after midnight I started getting the sneezing. By morning I had also become a fountain of snot. What is strangest about this phenomena is that street...

    Winning the Widescreen Battle

    David, You couldn't be more right that our problems will be solved when the majority has switched to 16x9 because those that aren't bothered by the severe cropping of P&S releases definitetly won't mind the distortion of theatrewide/zoom modes no matter the OAR.

    Pearl Harbor Subtitles were too small

    Watching on a 60" screen these were definitely too small. The size was not appropriate for the font type.

    HTF REVIEW: "Willow"

    In my late night rush to review this reference-quality DVD I failed to mention the sound. Let me just say the entire soundfield was very active in a natural and precise way, I was completely pulled into the world of Willow. From the dialogue, to the thunderclaps and rumbles, to the footfalls of...

    HTF REVIEW: "Willow"

    Thank you's all around. Ron Epstein graciously supplied the Willow DVD to our local HTF administration representative... Jay Mitchosky, who brought the DVD as the centerpiece of our local HTF meet, superbly hosted by Jeff Kowerchuk. Jeff, with a wonderful assist from Creative Audio, had us...

    >>>> Spoke to Warner Rep today concerning WONKA & CATS - here is what I was told.....

    There is no doubt your statistical survey is extremely flawed. As George Kaplan has already pointed out it should be weighted to reflect the DVD buying habits of the respondents. Let us pause for a moment and extend your brilliant marketing methods to a broader scope. We then find out that 95%...

    Get this! (or better yet, don't!): New Wonka SE? Pan 'N Scan ONLY! Part II

    Spoke to Sherri Bogart directly today. All she cared to mention was that Warner Brothers was considering a widescreen release. I prodded to get some sort of definitive release date, but no dice. I then asked if she knew at least when a firm decision would be made, again no luck. My guess is we...

    Get this! (or better yet, don't!): New Wonka SE? Pan 'N Scan ONLY! Part II

    Bill (Heathen) Here is the link to the old thread. It is ridiculous that Warner targets half the product to home theatre enthusiasts (Added value extras) and the other half of the product to generic shoppers (Fullscreen for J6P). Of course we get screwed on the most important part, the actual...
