I can't speak to why people would be bored with Chicago, given the superior quality of the songwriting (if hot jazz isn't your thing though, probably not going to do much for you), choreography, and a story that is as timely now as when it happened. I felt it was clearly the best movie I saw...

Ok, not to belabor the point or anything. But I was under the impression that it *wasn't* the Collector Series that had the anamorphic transfer, but rather a later release of the barebones edition (after Miramax abandoned that way cheesy WIDESCREEN logo) that was 16x9 friendly. Of course, it...

Could someone with knowledge please remind me again of the labeling to look for in determining whether the R1 Good Will Hunting disc is anamorphic? I seem to remember that it was never entirely clear but I'm hoping that by now any of the old discs have been cleared out of inventory. Still, would...

Kim Possible is the only one I would bother with animation wise, personally. Cleverly written and highest production values to my eyes.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a widow to console"

They *have* to have Donny on the finale. Chicken pot, chicken pot, chickent pot pieeeee

Seems like all the consumer recievers I'm pricing only have 2 component video inputs for switching purposes. I would love to find one with 3 in the event that I can get HDTV through the cable company (the other two for DVD/game system). Not looking to spend big bucks, just hoping to find...

Brother Bear is going to be beyond huge. As an indication of just how confident Disney is in this, they aren't opening it until Saturday that weekend. It's got the closest thing to that Lion King vibe of any of their animated features since, well, The Lion King. The Phil Collins soundtrack means...

The Real Genius montage is set to the song "Man In the Making" but I don't recall the artist

Except that product will trump brand, imho. People will find Pixar movies no matter what studio they are being made for. People will quickly figure out that Pixar is *not* making movies for Disney if they try and cash in on the franchises with inferior product.

"So long Charley!" Best line of the year.

It's per screen average was actually better than Spy Kids (over $10k per screen to SK's $9k and change). Hard to say if that would have held up if it had opened on 3500 screens as opposed to 1987, but that was never Universal's marketing plan in the first place. It will add several hundred...

AFAIK, Incredibles and Cars are the last films that Pixar are obligated to deliver to Disney under their current deal. But because of the long lead time Pixar needs to create their pics, a deal for any future films has to be done pretty much now.

Leisurley walk? Yes it spends the first half hour setting the stage on the backstory of the three principals, but once they buy Seabiscuit hold on to your hats. Like the Biscuit himself, not always the fastest out of the gate, when coming around the back turn and into the homestretch, the movie...

The question is not whether Seabiscuit will make $100 million but how close it will get to $200 million. I saw it tonight here in Baltimore at The Senator theater, a grand old 900-seat showcase. Every seat in the theater was filled, as crowded as it's been at any Star Wars, Matrix, or Lord of...

I'm driving myself looking for stands for my old Yamaha speakers. They are built like a tank (only about 2-3ft tall) and, hence, too heavy for any of the new mid-height speaker stands. What I had (until the feet broke) were just some very low MDF "platforms" that raised the speakers a few inches...

Can you hum few bars for us?

2 and 1/2 hours of Michael Bay is more than any human should be forced to endure. 2 and 1/2 of Michael Bay AND Martin Lawrence is too horrible to think about.

Any Monk fans notice that he's sort of the anti-Columbo in that his obssessive-compulsive, neat-freak ways mask to an extent his detective skills, in the same way that Coumbo's messiness led the perps into thinking there's no way this schlub could ever figure out how I did it? I've become hooked...

Christy is definitely cute! I am hooked on Even Stevens and K.P. now. Kim Possible for the uninitiated is a Disney animated series detailing the adventures of Kim, a high school cheerleader by day and secret agent type by night. Aided by sidekick Ron Stoppable and his naked mole rat, Rufus, Kim...

Brown Bunny may sweep the Razzies but Vincent Gallo couldn't get into the Oscars even as an usher

Seabiscuit if it's good enough to overcome being released in the summer. Presumably Cold Mountain if it lives up to the source material. Peter Jackson possibly for Best Director but I still think the Academy looks for reasons not to award big fx pix with non-technical awards. Dunno what...

I had the original release and sold it in anticipation of this but I'm pretty sure it was anamorphic. Just a bit grainy. Plus it was a flipper, which makes this repurchase totally worth it

Why is it so hard for Matrix fans to admit that by any measure it's underperforming, at best, and tanking, at worst. When it was breaking records the first weekend all the talk from WB was how "R ratings obviously don't matter anymore." I happen to basically agree with that. But then you can't...

Finding Nemo suffers from the flip side of the same coin as The Phantom Matrix. Kids tix prices are reduced and will eat into the normal take that it would have. Still, it should do as well as Monsters Inc. ($62) and I think more like $70-75.

But not with DeNiro and Pacino at the same time ;)

You're spot on David. The big weekend for Matrix Frontloaded was indicative only of the pent up demand for it. The fact that it will pretty much fall off the box office face of the earth within one month is indicative of what a mess of a movie it is. You should WANT to see a movie three times...

Cupid, with Jeremy Piven was far better than ABC deserved or treated it (but then again isn't that par for the course with all their good dramas?)

So do we know who the grey haired fellow was at the restaurant? Seems like he has an inside connection to know what happened as it did. Re the ending What kind of assassination plan is it that depends on getting that close to the target? Just too convenient for me to believe

Not a follower, just know what I saw and anyone who is objective about it has to admit that compared to the first movie, this one had a convoluted plot, at best, laughably bad dialogue, Jar Jar Link instead of Tank, and no character development to speak of. Everything that made The Matrix so fun...
