hey there Peter Bracke from DVDFILE here. The Region 1 BTTF DVD has the exact same framing as the Region 4 releases. Universal claims the transfers were filmmaker-approved, so there will be no "fixing" or repressing of the set. : (

Howdy Yikes, finally heard from Uni on what is *supposed* to be on these discs, aside from what the packaging might say: 2-Disc Set Disc one - 2002 cut - DTS 6.1 ES - DD 5.1 EX - DD French 5.1 EX - Live 5.1 score - John Williams featurette - Space Exporation Disc Two -...

Hey guys Just posted on more E.T. weirdness. The box set i got features the exact same disccs as the 2-disc set. i've also gotten six emails total from those who also got their box sets, and one other also got the same two discs from the 2-disc set, while the others don't have DTS tracks on...

Hey guys Sorry for the late E.T. reviews. This week was one of the worst ever for me...it seemed liked EVERY big new release showed up in the past week! Episode II, Spider-Man, Star Trek III, LOTR and E.T., and I haven't even gotten yet to Ice Age. I love this big box sets, but they are...

Hey there Since this is the Canadian release of the film, is it possible the US Region 1 version will not include the 1982 version of the film? Of course I hope that is not the case! Anyway, we're getting a US copy early this week even though Universal is not providing screeners to...

Howdy This reply is for Mr. Cook above. Just wanted to add a few words about my review. In terms of comparing Beauty and the Beast to Snow White, I wasn't stating that Snow White also used the CAP system, but rather they shared the general process of scanning the entire film digitally and...

Hey guys I was at that Vista screening here in LA...JoBeth Williams, Zelda Rubinstein and James Karen were all in attendance. Alas, there was no Q&A afterward, but it was fun to see the movie on the big screen again, and all three stars put their handprints in cement outside the theater. Zelda...

Howdy Peter B again. As editor, obviously I don't write every review, and sometimes I read stuff and think "Should I cut that out?" But at the end of the day, i think our job is to review the picture, sound, and supplements, not tell people how to watch their movies. (You bought it, you do...

Howdy Personally, I don't soft matte films intended for 1.33 to 16x9. But, some folks with widescreen sets like to, and everyone has their opinion, including Dan. To each his own?

Hey there Peter B. from DVDFILE. Just wanted to chime in on some of the previous posts. It's very frustrating trying to post accurate info, when there are times that the info we get is erroneous from the source itself. I'd love to be able to verify each and every title, but with hundreds...

Hey there This is Peter B. from DVDFILE. Heavenly Creatures is one of my fav and according to the BVHE press site it's full frame and 2.0 only. I put in a request to PR to get a confirm on the specs, and am still awaiting an answer. Alas, the BVHE site has been wrong before, which is always...

Hey Troy One more thing...at the press conference, Peter Staddon and Fox told all of us journalists that their plan was to have 10 titles for launch and more to come...so far, only 3 have been announced. I was hoping for more... : (

Hey Troy I didn't get your email so I apologize for posting her publicly. Anyway, I do feel I did my homework. As i stated in my editorial, you can get T2, but since that's the title you get as a freebie if you buy the deck, what's the point? The press release indicates that all four...

Well hello there This is Peter Bracke, editor of DVDFILE. Someone sent me a link to this thread, perhaps it was Mr. Boulet? Anyway, I'm a bit surprised, but hopefully I can shed some light on our approach and stance towards OAR. First off, more than one person writes the reviews on the...

Howdy The Director's Cut is like the European version...Darkness does not appear until he pops through the mirror, which has also been altered to be more powerful. However, the horned one does offer a lot more voiceover until he appears in the new Director's Cut.

Hey Don Thanks for the help. However, do you know the model number/brand of the switcher? I checked the Radio shack website and couldn't find anything... Thanks again.

Hey there I'm not sure if I'm in the right thread, but I now have so many sources with component outputs (my HD receiver, progressive scan DVD player, DVHS deck and the X-Box) my TV can't handle it as it only has two component inputs. Does anyone know if they make some sort of device where I...

Hey there if anyone can't get it through email, I posted 'em on my site at a hidden link: http://www.dvdfile.com/software/dvd-...ecial/aliens5/ Hope this helps. :)

Hey all I'm new to this thread, very fun and intelligent posts. I agree with many of you on the quality of the show and that Season 2 may be going downhill...but given the popularity of the show, it probably has a long lifespan. I expect like any long-running hit, it will have its ups and...

Hey there If anyone has been reading my posts, you may recall I've had a horrible time getting HD up and running in my house. Anyway, finally got it all worked out and now have over-the-air and DirectTV HD programming to watch, yippee! Anyway, just have one problem. For some reason, my...

Howdy Well, I found the RP91 to be a pretty terrible player, the worst I've had since my very first back in 1997. As editor of DVDFILE, obviously I've been through a lot of discs and players, and have a lot of issues with the RP91... First, the minor gripes, stuff I can live with: - Hate...

Hey there I got a Panasonic RP91 DVD player to go along with my HD set. unfortunately, I don't like the player's performance very much, even for its relatively low price. However, as I have a 16x9 set, I do love theplayer's ability to output non-anamorphic material in anamorphic mode. This...

Hello there I'm new to HDTV and I live in the heart of LA, so I figure I should be able to get OTA reception. I don't care about DirecTV or HBO and such, so I just want CBS, ABC, etc. Anyway, I have a Toshiba 65" HD set, and the receiver box, but apparently my UHF reception is not strong...

Howdy Actually, I've been researching a story on 3-D for over a year now, and many of the 80's 3-D films I researched used a two-camera set up, such as Friday the 13th Part 3. (I've interviewed Steve Miner for a story on 3-D to show up on the site sometime next year, where he talks about the...

Hey there I can't decide between getting an X-Box or a GameCube. Just a question ... I have a 16x9 Toshiba HD set, and was wondering if either console has a true progressive 16x9 out? or, is the aspect ratio dependent on the game itself? I know some of my old N64 games like GoldenEye had...

Howdy Actually, I did watch the film, I just didn't like it much... : )

Alright, this is what I'm confused about. All I really want are local stations.,..I could really live without cable/satellite completely. I don't want HBO or Showtime or any of that, and if I don't have basic cable I will survive. However, my current rooftop antenna gives me nothing when hooked...

Alright, now I'm still confused. DirectTV sent me an oval dish, saying I could get HD stuff, but apparently i need a "dual LNB" dish? To be honest, the DirectTV folks didn't seem very knowledgable at all about HD. As for local digital stations, i have an antenna on the roof that seems to be...

Howdy Thanks for the feedback. I did set up my DST 300 according to the instructions, but still get no signals. I noticed two problems...one, when i sect "Local Digital" as my source it won't lock it as my source as soon as I leave the menu. Once I go back to verify it, it switches back to...

Howdy Hey guys, I posted the Shirley Temple info based on the Fox press site. It lists the latter two Temple films as being in color. Hopefully the site is wrong... : ( ------------------ Peter M. Bracke
