Is anyone sure that the Canadian version is the exact same as the U.S. version? If you order at Amazon Canada (in theory) at $24.49 Canadian plus $7.99 + 1.99 shipping to the U.S equals $34.47 After the exchange rate calculation the total is only: $25.85 So it sounds like an...
My wife and I just watched it last night and experienced one "audio break" in the movie. At around 1:05 (I believe) the audio started clicking and while the movie continued playing, the time display on the DVD player stopped counting up. I hit the Stop button on the DVD player and then hit the...
What an incredible and well written review! Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to write something both comprehensive and informative while being just plain fun to read. Certainly one of the best reviews I've seen both online and off. I'm glad you detailed the home theater 5.1 audio...
I missed out on this great thread during the airing of the show. I agree it's overlooked by too many TV viewers and is one of the best out there. Always loads of fun to watch - I can never get to sleep after this high energy race from place to place and I love seeing all the new destinations...
Glad to see I'm not the only one who enjoys home theater and travel so much. Great stories! I hope to visit as many states and countries as some of you some day. My wife and I starting counting the states recently and we've been to a few countries in Europe so far. Hope to see Italy next year...
I'm someone who enjoys the pleasure of watching a movie with just my wife on our home theater in the basement. As opposed to the typical person going to the local movie theater/multiplex and "getting out of the house". However, I also consider traveling as my other biggest hobby, and like to get...
Interesting set of DVDs titles for sure. Thanks for the heads up. Escape From Witch Mountain is one of those movies that brings back pleasant memories from childhood. It was one of my favorites, though I can't quite recall why. However I have a nagging feeling that if I watched it today, I...
My wife and I watched this one sometime last year - picked it up for cheap on impulse at J&R Music World on a trip to NYC. We never heard of Adrien Brody at the time, but after watching the movie, we saw that he had some hidden talent. I thought he'd likely appear in another (better) movie in...
Put my wife and I on the list of people waiting for this on DVD. We both read the book for the first time a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed the story. Actually we listened to it on an unabridged audio book during a long car ride. It reads like it would make a great movie, and...
"Can't be used with any other offer" is supposed to mean with another coupon or coupon like special offer. A sale price is in no way an "offer". Best Buy can choose to charge whatever price they like and call it a "sale price" or not a sale price. I got the $5 off without any problem, because...
Boo Disney!
I bought this one for my wife along with Clash of the Titans and Time After Time (all widescreen 16X9), and at the time it didn't have aspect ratio information at DVDEmpire. I assumed (wrongly) that everything is going to be widescreen nowadays. I'm feel cheated having bought this...
Great review as always Ron. Thanks for keeping us informed. This is one of the few movies I saw in the theater in the last year. It was during a trip to Montreal for New Years, and it is one of the most enjoyable films I've seen in a long time. Extremely well done and amusing. I hope your...
I have to admit that this is one of my favorite movies from the 80's. Anthony Edwards pre Revenge of the Nerds. You can't beat the soundtrack either :)
Classic in every sense! My wife and I would buy it in an instant.
I agree that the extras aren't at all important for me. Mostly because I don't have nearly enough time to watch the movies themselves, how will I ever find the time to watch the extras. I probably have close to 100 movies on my "To Watch" list, and personally my time is better spent watching...
I gladly signed both petition links. I think the first one didn't go through but the second went through just fine.
Disney has got to wake up.
Keep it up!
I was pretty close to doing the same thing myself. I assumed there was only one version. There needs to be a big obvious sticker if they release two versions.
Actually this was the first time I went shopping at Circuit City in probably a couple of years. I'm sort of boycotting Best Buy now...
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone else had a problem with the Empire of the Sun DVD and it freezing up three or four times during the movie. I should have written down where but it was such a flaw that I had to stop the player and then go to the next chapter and back up to the spot just ahead...
Hi all,
I am looking at new houses as I'm moving soon. I want to make sure I have a room which I can use as a dedicated home theater. Well one house has a small finished basement (L shaped) and the one long section is kind of narrow. The other section has a column that would be obstructive...
