    Does anyone hate late DVD reviews?

    Good points everyone. I guess I'm in the minority here. I buy my DVDs on the release date for big movies or a few days after for catalog titles.

    Does anyone hate late DVD reviews?

    I was just wondering if anyone else hates it when a website reviews DVDs weeks or even months after it came out. I don't know about you, but I want to know about the DVD before or the day it's released. What is the benefit of someone reviewing a DVD in April when the DVD came out in March...

    *** Official GOTHIKA Discussion Thread

    Take that information with a grain of salt. I thought the Matrix Revolutions was very good, but received a rotten from rottentomatoes.com. The critics are judging this movie, not rottentomatoes.com of course, but don't let that sway you. I remember when the Matrix first came out and the local...

    ***Official ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO Discussion Thread

    Well, I did see this movie and I was very disappointed. Weak action sequences and a story line that didn't make any sense. I personally thought Johnny Depp's character was pointless and I did not care for some of his humor. Personally the only scenes that I thought were good was when they...

    ***Official ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO Discussion Thread

    I haven't seen this one yet, but I'm looking forward to it. For those who have seen it I have one question; Is this a sequel to Desperado? If it is a sequel, I noticed that a couple of characters that were killed in Desperado are in this film. How did they bring back these dead characters? I...

    ***Official CABIN FEVER Discussion Thread

    Wow, what a big disappointment this film was. I was expecting to be scared out of my wits, but didn't happen. The story was decent but way too many holes. How did the dead dog get the disease? It was obvious to me that this disease had been around for some time. Remember the lady...

    The Medallion - a review

    It looked to me as if this movie was made strictly for the China base and was later edited for American audiences. I saw a lot of dubbing in the beginning and it felt like his really old stuff that didn't do too well. Rumble in the Bronx comes to mind. Personally I didn't care for it.

    *** Official "THE HULK" Discussion Thread

    Well I wish I could say I've seen the entire movie, but the AMC theater lost power just as it was starting to get good. Right when the Hulk was fighting the dogs at the cabin we lost power. They had to close the theater and gave everyone re-entry passes. No I have to sit through the first...

    What's up with Fox?

    Fox is OK in my book. I don't think that they are the kings or daddies of DVD though. Their response to the full screen demands of the uneducated consumers has certainly risen some new thought patterns. If the studios would just take a stand can you imagine how much money they would save NOT...

    HTF REVIEW: "Antwone Fisher" (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) (with screenshots)

    Ron, Did the disc itself have cover art or was it plain with lettering on one side and not on the other? Thanks. Augustin

    Phone Booth: Cover and Disc Specs

    Well being that it is Widescreen and Full Frame, I'm sure it will be there usual crappy no cover art disc. I am very disappointed with the way Fox is presenting there dual version discs lately. They gotten so lazy that they don't even bother to label one side. They put the full screen side...

    *** Official "BASIC" Discussion Thread

    I saw Basic yesterday and thought it was pretty good. There were definitely some holes, but what movie doesn't have them. Overall I enjoy military "who done it" films. I didn't really care for Giovanni's character though. I only have one question: Was the set up done to recruit Osbourne or...

    Ringu impressions

    I was not impressed with the original version "Ringu". It seemed like a lot of people were proclaiming how scary it was, but it just didn't do it for me. I personally think that the revealed deaths in the American Ring were much scarier. The faces in the original film were too simple and not...

    Support the Star Wars OT on DVD campaign!

    I'm sorry to have to say this, but why isn't everyone respecting the director's intent on this one. This film belongs to George Lucas, not the fans. We are always complaining OAR and seeing it the way the director intended. If a new director's cut with added features is how the direct wants it...

    "no black bars" sticker on full-frame ver of UNFAITHFUL

    I don't care what studio is doing it. It's just plain wrong. "The customer wants it so we are going to do what the customer wants", seems to be everbody's reasoning here. If that were truly the case why make widescreen movies at all. It's pretty obvious to me that unless the OAR lovers become...

    TV Shows screaming for DVD

    Doesn't anyone like Third Rock From The Sun ? I love that show! I wish I could see it on TV, but I think they removed it from regular broadcast. That includes any re-runs. Come on people, let's hear it for Third Rock? Third Rock! Third Rock! Third Rock! :D

    HELP! Moved to Colorado and need to find some GOOD HT stores

    Mitch, I live in Highlands Ranch, about 45 miles south of you, and I can tell you without hesitation that Best Buy is always the best source for cost effective DVDs. Suncoast, Media Play, Sam Goody, and Tower all suck big time. If you want to pay full MSRP for any movie then go to those other...

    Question about HDTV programming.

    I do apologize if this is not in the right section, but here goes. When we make the conversion in 2006, or whenever, will the programming requirements for HDTV broadcasts only effect off air broadcasts, or will cable and satellite companies be required to show their content in HD also? If...

    Insomnia/Blockbuster?

    I went into my local Blockbuster and they too had the P&S version only. I went and complained to the manager and he thought I was complaining about the widescreen version only being available. He then started to tell me that the widescreen version was only available because there are trying to...

    Heartbreak Ridge anyone?

    I love this movie. Has anyone had a chance to look at this one yet? And for those who are wondering, yes I've already done a search on the forum. Nobody has discussed this title in detail. For those that do have it, how's the transfer? How's the Dolby Surround mix? I will probably purchase...

    HTF SURVEY: What else would you like to see done with DVD?

    I have a few ideas that I hope are innovative. They are as follows: 1. When you press the pause button on your remote control, a motion type screen saver comes on the screen for the duration of the pause. Something really cool from the film. The screen saver on your TV is motion for those of...

    In praise of VHS!

    When I think about what is to come, it makes me sad. In 10 years we'll be bashing DVD and complaining about how old and dull it is. I love the format of DVD and for that reason I am afraid of anything new to come. Sure, HD-DVD will be great, but at what price? $50-60 for one movie, maybe more...

    Has anyone heard any news on OZ Season 2? I've checked the HBO website and couldn't find any information. If anyone knows anything, please let me know. I'm dying for this one. Thanks.

    *** Official HTF Review U-571 D-VHS D Theater High Def ***

    Hi-Def or not it's still tape. This whole VHS thing just needs to go away. I sure hope that this pricing does not follow with HD-DVD. No offense to any fellow members, but would you still be getting excited if they came out with an all digital high quality cassette tape for music. Maybe they...

    HTF REVIEW: "Return Of The Living Dead" (with screenshots)

    I just got my copy yesterday after going to 3 stores to find it. I did notice that there is no insert in this DVD. Is this the way it is supposed to be? Does any one else have an insert? I have never seen a DVD without an insert so I was just curious. Thanks for the input.
