Well, I was going to create a new thread, but Fred has beaten me to the punch, so I guess I can use this one. :) For the record, I will try to seperate this list into two sections: "3 for $25" and "2 for $20." But I would really like to keep this list updated as much as possible. You can...

Can you put different tags inside a spoiler?

I've been seriously entertaining the thought of attending next year's San Francisco International Film Festival, which runs for 2 weeks, usually in mid-April. You can check out the site for last year's festival here: http://www.sfiff.org/fest03/index.html Some of the notable films that...

This is just a head's up to let people know that at 10:30 PM tonight, HBO will be airing Jim Brown: All American, the acclaimed documentary on the legendary football player, directed by Spike Lee. This sucker played briefly in New York theaters this year before vanishing, and since there is...

I decided to create a table layout for my entry in the 2002 Film List thread. So I took a part of the table I made in Notepad and pasted it into a thread in the Test area, and I got this: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...42#post1106739 Now, I've dealt with tables before, but I've never...

UP NEXT:Something CURRENT LISTING (10/29): 51 Title Director Director of Photography Rating (**** Scale) Austin Powers in Goldmember Jay Roach Peter Deming :star::star::star: Autofocus Paul Schrader Fred Murphy :star::star::star:1/2

I was recently watching the Requiem For a Dream DVD with Matthew Libatique's (the director of photography) commentary track on. While I was a bit overwhelmed with the technical talk, I have to admit it was quite enjoyable, especially since I am taking a more active interest in the how's and...

I've recently begun to renew an interest in comic books/graphic novels, more specifically the world of Batman. After reading some of the works of Alan Moore (From Hell, The Watchmen), I was inspired to pick up his contribution to the Batman legend, The Killing Joke. Mightily impressed with the...

I realize Kino issued this years ago, apparently as a Special Edition (isolated score, photos, storyboards, etc.)...but that version seems to have gone OOP. It's been a long time since I've seen this, and I would love to watch it again. But I don't know if I'm willing to pay $60 or whatever...

In the scheme of things, a DVD cover is an (admittedly) minor part of a disc's success. But if you're like me, you've often grown tired of DVD covers that follow this formula: Step One: HUGE blownup photos of 1 (or more) actor(s) of particular film resting at the top of the cover. Step Two...

We recently ordered a rowing machine which was delivered to our house yesterday. After putting it together ("easy-to-assemble"...yeah, right), I decided to give it a go. I used it for a half-hour and certainly felt like I got quite a bit of exercise afterwards. To any of those who own/use...

Foreign Correspondent is without a doubt my favorite Alfred Hitchcock film. When Universal and Criterion started issuing fantastic DVD's of Hitch's library last year, I hoped that Correspondent would be among them. So much for that. Does anyone have any news on a forthcoming DVD release of...

This box set--which contains Calendar, The Adjuster, The Sweet Hereafter, Exotica and Felicia's Journey--is a Candian exclusive, which means it should be playable in R1-encoded machines. I enjoyed The Sweet Hereafter very much, and the snippets I've seen of Felicia's Journey and Exotica were...

Well, it's nice to see Oz back on track. Last season, shall we say, felt more like a soap opera and had a very scattershot tone to it. Tonight's premiere was a lean and mean, bringing back of a lot of older characters to Emerald City, while introducing some new ones. A few of the highlights...

So, I received my copy of the Bad Taste: LE today, and while I was in the process of opening it up, I heard a rattling...uh-oh. So I open it up and initially, it looked OK: both discs seemed to be securely in their place. Then I proceeded to pick up the first disc, and it came out...with the...

From DVD File:

I was browsing Amazon's games department, and noticed that several DC games that originally went for $40 and up are now priced down to $10. Since I hadn't bought any games in awhile, I decided to take advantage of the situation and buy about 5 new games. However, I would like to expand my DC...

(Not sure if this goes in Movies or Music...if it's in the wrong section, mods please move this to the appropriate section.) I just picked up the latest edition of "Entertainment Weekly" and was interested in their cover article, which lists the 100 Best Soundtracks. The list is as follows...

I was wondering if it was possible to archive this thread: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/uub/Forum15/HTML/028129.html ------------------ Have you ever noticed anyone driving slower than you is an idiot? And anyone driving faster than you is a maniac!! - George Carlin ICQ: 55259446 (or...

I recently bought one of the Universal "Classic Monsters" discs, Dracula, and for some reason, the disc will not play in my Toshiba SD-1200...all I get is a "DISC ERROR" message. Now, I've tried it on both of the 1200 models in the house--one was an older model, the other a newer one with a...

DVD File announced that Casualties of War--certainly one of the best (and underrated) Vietnam films--is coming out on December 11. That makes the eighth Brian De Palma film to come out on DVD in 2001. The previous seven were: The Untouchables (1/16) Obsession (6/26) Dressed to Kill (8/28)...

(Note: there is another thread inquiring about Costello reissues. If any of the mods feel this thread is redundant, please close it and I'll repost my reviews in the other thread.) In the mid-90's, Rykodisc took all of Elvis Costello's albums from his "classic years" aka Columbia years (1977 -...

I was recently watching Manhunter again and one scene brought up a couple of questions for me. The scene in question is when Hannibal Lecter (or should I say Lecktor?) uses the phone to dial the University of Chicago (I believe that's what it was) and obtains Will Graham's home address. 1)...

OK, this is for the R2 version, and it's only for the first 2 discs, but unless I'm mistaken, this is pretty much going to be like the R1 edition: http://www.r2-dvd.org/article.jsp?se...articleId=2482 Like I stated earlier, this is only for the first two discs, but it looks to be a killer...

Some fine reviews of the upcoming Wicker Man DVD: http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/wman-lmtd/ Thanks for your input! ------------------ Have you ever noticed anyone driving slower than you is an idiot? And anyone driving faster than you is a maniac!! - George Carlin

Man, this guy can do it all. I was watching The Abyss again and was just simply in awe of Harris' performance. It's pretty obvious James Cameron wanted to make him the heart and soul of the movie, but Harris does in stride. I noticed how he always played it quiet and low-key in all the...

I recently turned a few friends of mine onto the genius that is Elvis Costello. They used to dismiss him as "that guy who does all those slow ballads." That was until I played them some of his earlier 70's punk/rock powerhouses like "Watching the Detectives," "Pump It Up," "Radio, Radio" and...
