I am very confused by the Blue Ray release of Narnia - Lion Witch.. The theatrical release on DVD is 135min, the extended 150, but the Blue Ray is 143? So is this some in between cut?

Anyone knows anything about Wuthering Heights (1939)? I have still to see this movie and have waited ten years to buy it. Missed out when originially released back in 1997 on DVD and it has been discontinued since.

Any more suggestions of new and old movies with funny and/or serious rock climbing scenes in it? I am hosting a rock climbing party and would like to put together a little show. Examples: Failure to Launch Mission Impossible II Cliffhanger Vertical Limit Guns of Navarone The Eiger...

I just ordered a new Panasonic AE900 projector. Will use it later on in the basement, but have not started on finishing it. Wanted to play around with the projector first. So in the mean time, I want a cheaper solution to go by to use in my current temporary spare room. I have two options, a...

Will "Rapa Nui" ever be released? I guess this has been discussed in the past, but a search did not get me anything.

I just rented Young Adam. This is another release from ColumbiaTristar with pretty bad quality. Once upon a time (read many many years ago) this Studio was the top DVD studio. Today I know of no worse studio. Today ColumbiaTristar is probably the only major studio to omit English subtitles on...

I am confused about the number of oscars "How Green Was My Valley" got. IMDB says 5 wins out of 9 nominations and also the cover on the DVD. However the documentary on the DVD says 6 wins and 10 nominations. So what happened here? Ron

I am still waiting to see Zhang Yimou's "Hero", but unfortunately I live in US :frowning: It originally came out in 2002 and it has basically come out in every corner of the world except in US (even on home video). It is so sad Miramax controls this movie and so many more and just butcher...

I wanted to buy "Ridicule" that is coming out on Monday but it looks like Mirmax managed to get a pan & scan only version? That would be very sad. Ron

I have been waiting to see "Barber of Siberia" since I read about it beeing filmed in 97 or 98. It was never released in US even in theaters as far as I know. Anyone know if this movie with Julia Ormond and Richard Harris will ever be released here? Does any studio even acquired any rights to...

I just rented Daredevil on DVD and was very upset with the quality of the DVD and very happy I did not buy it. In order to see the extras on the first disc you have to sit through the whole movie and wait for the little figure to pop up. Does Fox really think we all have an extra two hours to...

I just got a Canadian copy of the Lions Gate Signature Series of Monster's Ball. On the front it looks identical to the US copy (at least according to what I see on sites like dvdempire etc). On the back though, my copy says "original theatrical version" and "R rating". The US copy says...

When I buy a DVD and then enter the menu and select to start a movie, I really don't want to see a bunch of trailers and other ads. This is a very annoying thing. I don't mind having them as a separate option on the DVD, but every time I start a movie from the menu and to have those trailers etc...

My Toshiba 3109 DVD players stopped recognizing all my DVDs the other night, so I thought it was time to get a new player. I got the Toshiba 4800 and was very pleasantly surprised that this DVD player can generate close captions and not only standard subtitles. That way the display device...

I just read a review of X-Men 1.5 and I am really disappointed. Fox insists to still have plenty of features only available while watching the movie. In order to see the six deleted scenes and 17 featurettes you have to watch the whole movie again and keep waiting for a "white rabbit" and...

As some DVDs are released without English subtitles I am somtimes forced to use the Closed Captions feature on my TV. I would also like to upgrade to a projector in the future and wondering if any projectors supports closed captions? Otherwise, what choice do I have? To use a PC with DVD...

I have to say that I am very disappointed with the recent Columbia Tristar releases. One of the most important features, to me, on DVD is English subtitles. As many display devices don't support closed captions, this makes it even more important. Now, "Eye See You", does not support English...

A little tidbit for those who "needs" a reason to say that Minority Report is faulty and should be repressed :) In the scene where Tom's character needs an operation the two other characters (Peter Stormare and a woman) are clearly speaking Swedish (which I understand), but repeatedly the...

I just got the Canadian release by Seville Pictures of "Happy Accidents" and my Toshiba 3109 DVD player is saying it is a bad disc. However, my laptop plays it just fine so it looks like the DVD is no totally bad and I suspect a player compatibility issue. Before I send the DVD back for...

I saw there are four Canadian Signature collections coming up very soon of Monster's Ball, O, Amores Perros and Eve Bayou. Especially on Monsters's Ball, is this the version we have been waiting for (i.e. the version most of the world got to see, but not US)? Or is there another version...

I moved to Boston from Sweden six years ago and sometimes I feel I live in a third world country in regards to widescreen broadcasting in US. I went back home to Sweden for the holidays and noticed that most movies I am watching in Sweden on regular TV broadcasts and cable/satellite movie...

I have a KEF Q95 center speaker where the grill is cracked in a couple of places. Could this affect the sound in a noticeable way? In other words, is it worth getting a new grill (if this is possible). Ron Birk

A few years ago I bought MIT cables for my front speakers. Two MIT-4 10 feet for the left and right speakers and MIT-4 8 feet for the center channel. When I bought the cables they did not have the center cable in stock so I got a cable they used in the demo room for a good price. Now I...

First I want to say that Paramount is one of the leading companies supporting English subtitles in all their movies. Even most (or even all?) documentaries and featurettes have them. A great thank you, Paramount. One thing though, after seeing Roman Holiday and Serpico. When the characters...

Just for fun I was curious to find out some statistics of my DVD collection. Especially the release year of the movies. I have almost 1100 movies, so I thought it was time. I expected to have more recent release, but actually not as much as it turned out. I guess it is hard to resist the...

I read this about the new x-men edition: "Enhanced Viewing Mode" with 23 segments: 6 deleted scenes and 17 behind-the scenes vignettes. With this I humbly ask for these segments to also be available through the menus, so you have a quick access to it. There is nothing more irritating than...

I have a standard 16:9 screen and when watching Monsoon Wedding I had to watch it in 4:3 mode with big black borders on all four sides. This is because the subtitles are put at the bottom below the picture and if you zoom in the non-anamorphic pictures they will not be visible. This is not of...

I got the 2-disc edition recently for E.T. and the content is great. However the package is really not that good. First on the side there is no text or anything to identify the movie. So if you put it in the bookshelf along with the rest of your movies there is no way to tell what movie this is...

I noticed that the Alec Guinness Collection does not have English subtitles. I find this feature very important for a number of reasons. This is very unfortunate as I was really looking forward to this release. Please, Anchor Bay, start support this. You are one of few that do not have it and...

I finally saw "The Rookie" the other day after CDNow continuously kept sending me P&S versions multiple times. I will be the first to say that I am not exactly the biggest baseball fan. This movie however, even though it is has a lot of baseball is so much more. I really enjoyed it. Now the...
