Thanks to TerryRL's post in the box office thread, I found this little item about the SR sequel on IESB.NET: http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option...=581&Itemid=27 I don't want to see the SR sequel sacrifice the characters for action. But I trust Singer to create a film that will satisfy both...

http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/s..._DVD_Titles/313 I need to take out a loan!

Nice review, Herb. This is one is coming up in my Netflix queue, looking forward to watching it.

I've been on a Hitchcock kick lately, and was wondering if anyone has any info about possible re-releases of either of these films anytime soon. Both the OOP Criterion and Anchor Bay discs are going for big bucks on eBay these days.

I'm looking to change my speakers, but am short on funds. Until I can get a really great audiophile system, I was thinking of going with Wharfedale Diamond 8.1's, which can be purchased very inexpensively. The only problem I see is that the Diamonds are at a nominal 6ohms impedance, and have...

Sony has so much invested in making Blu-Ray a success, I can't believe they would issue an inferior product. It must be this title, as reviews indicate that other films such as TERMINATOR look much better.

I've been reading the threads in the software section, and I'm getting excited about the prospect of HD movies, whichever format wins. But will the Panny PT-47WX53 and similiar televisions be compatible with these formats? The set does have a DVI input, but now I'm reading that some DVI inputs...

GUNGA DIN is probably my most anticipated DVD release for December, and I'm curious if anyone can comment on the transfer quality? Also, are there any online reviews that I may have missed? Thanks for any info!

Someone mentioned on another message board that the 1979 version of DRACULA with Frank Langella and Laurence Olivier was up for pre-order on DVD Planet. I took a look, and sure enough, it is. I haven't heard a thing about this release. I wonder if it will be anamorphic, and if the transfer will...

I was very surprised to find that a member of another forum found the venerable serial THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MARVEL on DVD at Best Buy today. I went over to Amazon.com and sure enough, it is available. Was this title ever even announced? This is the best serial ever made, and I've never read...

I'm just curious if anyone here who ordered the INDIANA JONES Boxset from DVD Empire has received an email telling them that it has shipped. Usually DVD Empire ships their new DVD's the friday before street date, but I haven't received the email yet that says it shipped. The last time this...

The subject title says it all. I'm using the old Rat Shack Pro-LX5 Lineaum speakers as my surrounds, and the Polk RTi28's as my mains(I use a Phantom center)and an old Cambridge Soundworks subwoofer. I don't notice any major mismatch between the front and the back, but I hate to think I might be...

Anyone who is familiar with the previous VHS and Laser releases of the classic 1932 Rouben Mamoulian DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE will probably know that the version released in both formats had a few problems. For instance, the Paramount logo was replaced by the MGM lion at the beginning of the...

I've been waiting on a special edition of this one forever(I know, join the club) and I'm really hankerin' to see this movie again. I would just buy the current DVD, but it's one of those from Warners first batch, many of which are absolutely terrible transfers(BATMAN, BATMAN RETURNS,etc.)...

Does anyone know if the MAR release of THE SHADOW with DTS sound is full frame or pan and scam? Thanks for any info.

Is anyone here familiar with this receiver. I want to upgrade my old Sony Dolby Digital receiver since it doesn't do DTS, and I've seen the VR-7080 online for a very reasonable price. I did a search of the forums but didn't turn up any posts on this receiver. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

I logged onto my DVD Aficionado page, and found that it no longer recognizes me as a member. Also, my password doesn't work anymore either. Anyone else have the same problem? I'd hate to think that the hours I spent compiling my collection there have been for naught.:frowning:

Let's see if this works.

This Halloween, TCM will be airing a reconstruction of the lost Lon Chaney/Tod Browning silent classic LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT. LAM is probably one of the two or three most sought after lost films, and this news is incredible to someone like me who has wanted to see this legendary film for as long...

I just heard that the DVD release of IT CAME FROM HOLLYWOOD has been cancelled. Some of the DVD sellers still list it on their sites. Does anyone know the skinny on this? Thanks!

First, I want to say thanks to Universal for their excellent DVD of IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE. The commentary, documentary and transfer were all great. But I hope Universal doesn't stop here. I've heard from various sources that there will be no Universal Horror DVD's for this Halloween. I...

I'm looking to upgrade my wretched VHS widescreen tapes of the INDIANA JONES Trilogy to laserdisc and I noticed that there is a Japanese boxset on eBay. It has a making of Raiders documentary and another documentary. Does anyone know how the quality of the transfers of the films are in this set...

I've had the JBL LXE770's as my main speakers for five years and they sound terrific. I've been using a Cambridge Soundworks Center Channel Plus as the center speaker and it sounded fine until I moved my home theater into a different room. It still sounds acceptable but on certain material it...

I'm wondering how the transfer is on THE COTTON CLUB DVD? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

While posting on another topic elsewhere in this forum, I was reminded of the days when I had a small but cool 16mm film collection. Before that as a kid I collected old Castle digests of horror films like FRANKENSTEIN on Super 8. Is film collecting a common experience to the folks who post in...

I would love to see Warner Home Video release an OAR version of HORROR OF DRACULA and the other Hammer horrors they have the rights to. If anyone else feels the same way, jump on the thread! :)
