Looks like Scorsese and DiCaprio will team up again (for their fourth film together) when they are done with The Departed. These guys obviously like each other and work well together. http://washingtontimes.com/upi/20050...1111-7880r.htm Personally, I am very much looking forward to...

There also appears to be some issues with possible insider trading? Dreamworks Shares Suffer Meltdown Has the DVD boom really peaked?

I watched this tonight with my young ones. Definitely reference quality. Excellent detail, incredible color without bleeding, and no color banding to be seen. Very clean picture without artifacts. Very nice! The soundtrack could have been a bit more exciting, but it wasn't bad either. I...

Does anyone know what is going on with DVDCoverArt.com? It appears that the site has been down for the last couple of days. I hope this is just a temporary problem and they have not shut down!

That's right. Another Name That Movie Contest! Believe it or not, this will be the first Contest/Tournament that I have run, so be nice! :) By running this Contest, it is not my intention to make the guesses particularly difficult (nor particularly easy), but to show images that are at least...

I really do! My last four Criterion purchases have been nothing less than superb. This includes not only great transfer quality, but extremely good, informative, and interesting extra features as well. My last four Criterion purchases that meet this standard: 8 1/2 Solaris Down by Law...

I saw David Lean's classic prisoner of war epic, The Bridge on the River Kwai, at The Academy Theater in Beverly Hills Monday night. This was part of the Academy Theater's 75 years of Best Picture Oscar Winners, where they are screening all 75 Best Picture Winners every Monday night. For more...

Which one of these great Werner Herzog/Klaus Kinski collaborations do you prefer, and why? I watched Aguirre: The Wrath of God and loved it. But, I love Fitzcarraldo as well, and don't know which I prefer over the other. Both are pretty darn good!

Although not a "genre" itself, I really do like "Film Noir" films. So, what exactly constitutes "Film Noir"? This isn't really an easy question, but here is one of the better definitions that I have seen: "The primary moods of classic film noir are melancholy, alienation, bleakness...

If I have a DVD-ROM drive on my computer, is there a way to capture a screen shot from a movie using only the computer? If so, how? Thanks!

I am considering the purchase of the Anthem AVM 20 for a dedicated home theater room that I will be building. I am curious as to which amp owners of this pre/pro are using? While I have heard nothing but positive reviews regarding the Anthem pre/pro, I have heard some less than positive...

List your favorite Kurosawa movies in order of preference. Feel free to give reasons for your order, and number of "stars" you feel each film deserves. For me: 1. Ran. Just incredible film making! To me, this is Kurosawa's culmination of all the great things in his prior movies. 2. Seven...

I don't know why I was thinking about this last night, but I was wondering how many movies I owned that were three hours long, or more. I own 11 movies that fit (or come very close) this category: The Godfather (5 minutes short of three hours) The Godfather Part II Pearl Harbor...

Many Directors like to work with the same actors repeatedly. Some have been more successful than others. Who are some of your favorite Director/Actor combos? A few of mine: 1. Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro 2. David Lean and Alec Guinness 3. The Coen Brothers and Francis McDormand

Over the last week I have noticed that my "post count" seems to be wrong. For example, I will finish posting several messages and my post count is 2730. The next day, I post again, and my post count is 2680. This has happened at least twice in the last week, and I have never noticed it...

This is one of my favorite movies. I do not own it on DVD yet, as the current DVD is not anamorphic. Please issue an anamorphic DVD of this great movie. Of course, the more special features, including director/writer commentary by Billy Bob Thornton would be great too, but the anamorphic...

I just recently re-joined Columbia House DVD Club. I received a flyer in my initial shipment indicating that Columbia House was Welcoming the Addition of 20th Century Fox to their DVD lineup! This was the only major studio whose product you could not get through Columbia House. This has now...

This debate never ends with me and several of my friends! This is actually a hard call for me. I definitely think that Sammy is much more talented than Diamond Dave from a musical perspective. But there was something magical about Van Halen when Diamond Dave was the lead singer. VH was...

I recently had my DISH 6000 Receiver hooked up. I receive the CBS HD channel, as well as HBO-HD. I have watched shows such as Touched By An Angel, Everybody Loves Raymond, and The Ellen Show. I must say that I was a bit disappointed in the picture quality. (The Ellen Show was a little better...

I am considering the purchase of this receiver to mate with my Mitsubishi 46-805 16:9 set. Anyone have any experience with this unit? If so, are you pleased? What are its strengths, and drawbacks? Thanks, Rob

Generally speaking, the best way to know if I am going to enjoy a movie before seeing it is to know who the Director is. For example, if a movie was directed by Marty Scorsese, there is about a 99% chance that I am really going to enjoy the movie! My favorites are: 1. Martin Scorsese 2...

Who gave the best live performance of any concert that you have been to? I have seen MANY concerts over the years, and some of the best live performances I experienced were: 1. Pink Floyd (need I say more?) 2. Paul McCartney (World Tour '89, the man has TALENT!) 3. Boston (1987 Tour...

I was doing some "critical" listening on my stereo last night. I was listening to the "Concert Classics" station on Dish Network (which is great btw) and heard some great music from two of the best composers of all time....Mozart and Beethoven. This made me start to compare these composers...

Often when someone is giving a critique about a certain DVD's sound mix, they often mention whether they were listening to the DVD "at Reference level". What is Reference level? How is it determined on a particular setup and with a particular DVD? Does Dialnorm play a part? When using my...

When I first got my 16:9 Mitsubishi (which automatically locks in to stretch mode when it receives a progressive signal) I always had to pay special attention to the DVD's that I purchased to make sure that they had Anamorphic transfers. Plenty of widescreen DVD's were NOT anamorphic. We let...

I watched The Godfather on DVD this weekend. I forgot how great this film was! I am a huge fan of Martin Scorsese, and I love Goodfellas. But The Godfather was better than I had remembered. Great acting, beautiful cinematography, excellent writing, etc. Now I am struggling with which one I...
