    S-Video or component cable?

    Just wondering if I can get a little advice. A friend of mine has just purchased a 42" plasma set which is inexpensive by plasma standards. It's really an EDTV rather than a true HDTV set which is made by a company called Prima. Anyway, his DVD player (which he does not plan to replace in the...

    Steve Carell is...Maxwell Smart !

    My apologies if this is old news. Steve Carell, who played the dim witted weatherman, Brick Tamwell in Anchorman has been picked to star in GET SMART. After stealing every scene he was in during Anchorman, I think Carell will make a great Max. Can't wait to see it. It will be interesting to see...

    Dipole/surround speaker question

    Apologies ahead of time, if this sounds like a silly question. I'll be moving to a condo next year. The particular area I'll be turning in a home theater space will be part of the main living room. Room shape is a bit odd. The spot I have in mind is kind of in the middle of the room, so there...

    West Side Story SE in Toronto?

    Am I missing something? I thought WEST SIDE STORY SE 2 Disc was out today (April 1). I called Future Shop and they don't have it. Is this delayed? Thanks. -Mike

    Thief of Bagdad

    I believe this has already been released. I'm in the Toronto area and I've yet to see it. Can anyone point me to a store that carries this title? Thanks. -Mike

    AV Receivers & RF input

    I've currently got a PIONEER VSX-D557 AV receiver. It's Dolby Digital (and Pro logic) only. NO DTS. It also has an RF input running in from my Pioneer CLD-D504 (via an RF Demodulator) for AC-3 (DD 5.1) I've been looking to upgrade lately to a receiver which will also do DTS (and Prologic II...

    DVD player advice please!

    I've heard that there are a few models out there that can artificially (or otherwise) display an anamorphic image from a non anamorphic DVD. I'm thinking of purchasing such a player which also would play CD-R and CD-RW 'burned' discs as well. Naturally I'd like to pick up such a player at a...

    Speed (5 Star) and Futureshop

    Not sure this is news (it WAS to me) I went to FutureShop this morning to pick up SPEED 5 Star Edition. To my surprise, they had ONLY 2 packs for $31.99 (Speed & Speed 2) I wanted Speed only. I did not feel like buying a 'turkey' just to get SPEED. That resulted in no sale. I then went to my...

    Almost Famous: Bootleg Edition

    I purchased this one at Future Shop the other day. It folds out into 3 panels. It looks as if it 'should' be in a slipcase, (like Harry Potter). My question is: Anyone out there with the Bootleg Edition that comes in a slipcase? Fantastic movie BTW. -Mike

    The Rocketeer

    With DISNEY getting a lot of discussion in this forum, I was wondering if anyone has heard of a re-issue of THE ROCKETEER, a pretty enjoyable (IMO) action film. The current version from all accounts is certainly not up to Disney's standards of late (all OAR controversies aside). My understanding...

    Brotherhood of The Wolf

    Saw this wild French film several months ago. Horror, outrageous action, political intrigue, this movie has it all. Anyway, in Europe they've already released this one as a beautiful 3 disc DVD with TONS of extras. I can only hope that they will put out a similarly beautiful DVD set in North...

    After the Fox

    Just wondering if this title (on DVD) is supposed to have a chapter card insert. It's weird to open up a DVD package and see it empty where the chapter card is supposed to be.

    Zorro SE: Why keep the 2nd Disc?

    Disc 1 (widescreen/anamorphic) has All of the suppplements while Disc 2 (pan/scan) has just some of the features of Disc 1. My question to widescreen lovers is this: What are you going to do with that 2nd disc? Give it away to a WalMart shopper, use it for a coaster, use it to warm up the tubes...
