Director George Hickenlooper was one of the guests on Jon Favreau's "Dinner for Five" tonight on the Independent Film Channel. He said he's been trying to get Francis Ford Coppola to let him release his documentary "Hearts of Darkness" on DVD. The hold up is that Coppola wants him to make a...

CNN.com posted a story this afternoon about the joys and frustrations of becoming a DVD collector. Topics range from waiting for stores to open, to the debate about widescreen versus fullscreen to studios double-dipping on releases. You can read the full story here.

I just ordered a new computer from Dell and a friend wants to buy my old one from me for her dad. I was going to keep my two-year-old 19-inch ViewSonic monitor, but she wants that too, so I figured it's as good a time as any to upgrade. I don't need anything expensive, but I would like a...

Monday night I'll be ordering a new Dell Dimension 8250. I'll be getting the Windows XP Home operating system, because a friend has given me the full version of XP Pro (yes, it's completely legit and has never been used). I have little to no experience with the XP operating system, but I'd...

I was able to pick up the full DVD tonight, thanks to a rare occurrance of a local retailer jumping release date for a change. I thought I'd offer a mini-review for anyone interested in picking up this DVD, which will be released Dec. 10. The total run time is 2 hours, 56 minutes, including...

I have a wad of cash burning a hole in my pocket and I've suffered through my last outrageous cable rate increase (anyone stuck with MediaCom knows what I'm talking about). I'm getting the Dish Network next week and think the PVR-721 will fill the bill. It's a two-tuner satellite receiver...

In celebration of a promotion and pay raise at work, I'm thinking of picking up the Onkyo DV-S555 DVD player. I have an Onkyo receiver and love it, and I've read a lot of good reviews of this DVD player. The only thing I haven't seen addressed is how well the player handles layer changes...

I know there has been a thread or two about some of the changes being made at American Movie Classics. This story from the Kansas City Star moved on the Knight Ridder wire today, and I though people here would find some interesting information:

A co-worker of mine sold me a two-year-old HP Pavilion, Umax flatbed scanner and a never-used Epson Stylus printer for the grand total of $75. Everything looks like it's never been out of the box and is in great working order. I wanted to do some upgrading to the computer, so I installed a...

I'm in the process of gradually upgrading my modest home theater. The first phase will be a new Onkyo TX-DS595 receiver, due to arrive on Christmas day. In anticipation of this event, I downloaded and printed out the owner's manual from the Onkyo Web site so that I could familiarize myself...

Man, do I see a few of us in this story from The Onion : quote: Sci-Fi Fans Argue The Better Of Two As-Yet-Unreleased Films TULSA, OK— Science-fiction fans Pete Carver and Matthew Wynne disagreed sharply Monday on the relative merits of Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone and The Fellowship...

Did that get your attention? I was examining the cover artwork for my new widescreen SOTL special edition today. Has anyone taken a good close look at the skull on the back of the moth? The skull is actually made up of several nude women. They appear to be, oh I don't know, frolicking. I...
