I got myself a PS3 for Blu-ray, and now my 9-year-old boy is contantly playing video games on the big TV. His 4-year-old sister would like to try it, but his games (sports and action games) are too complicated. I was going to get a couple of Spongebob games for her, but then I saw the reviews...

I'm surprised I haven't seen anybody post anything about a feature from yesterday's "USA Today": Video disc war: No clear winner, yet. No real news here, but it is important--if only because so many people will read it. They grade each format: HD DVD gets a B+ and Blu-Ray gets a B-. (Sorry...

I'm going to assume this is a spoiler. I haven't actually finished the movie yet, so I can't say absolutely 100% for sure. (I just watched the first hour during my lunch break today.) The movie starts with some college kids playing a really rotten, traumatizing prank on a nerd. Having seen a...

Okay, so Sony Pictures is having a contest where people submit posters for Resident Evil: Apocalypse. They pick 5 finalists, and then people vote for the best one. The winner gets $2500, a bunch of tickets to the movie, some other trinkets, and their poster gets printed. I think it sounds...

If you haven't seen the new "Sopranos" yet, then avoid TVGuide.com. There is a huge spoiler on the main page. Because my kids are still up on Sunday night at 8:00 (local time), I watch "The Sopranos" on Tuesday nights. Now a major development has been ruined for me. I didn't put this in...

The last few weeks I've been seeing this commercial on HBO right before a new episode of "The Sopranos." The commercial is for "Six Feet Under," and it has cast members dancing around a grocery store, lip-synching to a song. The main line says something like "...and I'm Feeling Good," which may...

Each DVD release of "Friends" touts the "never before seen moments" that they've restored to each episode. Most would never be noticed by casual fans, though I'm sure many die-hards notice every little change. Anyway, I've watched about 10 or 12 episodes from the new Season 7 set, and there...

I recently watched a movie where a character rented a unit from a storage facility and asked the manager-type person if he (or she) could live in it. I don't remember whether they were allowed to or not, but I'm thinking yes. My memory of this is so vague (like a fleeting dream, or deja vu)...

I'd really appreciate it if somebody could help me out here. I remember a news report about some celebrity's death recently (the last year, I think), but I can't remember who it was that died. I just remember that he (or she) had been in an automobile accident but appeared to be okay. Then he...

Is there an easy way for me to edit (and then re-record) a homemade DVD on my PC? To make it clear exactly what I want to do: My dad was recently on the local news. I recorded the entire program onto a DVD+RW using my set-top DVD recorder. I would now like to be able to take out the 1-minute...

I was looking at the "King of Queens" Season 1 package and saw where it says that the third disc has two "bonus episodes." Are these episodes from other seasons? Or are they unaired episodes?

I'm sad to see that tonight's episode of "A Minute with Stan Hooper" has been pulled in favor of a rerun of "That '70s Show." I hope this is just for sweeps, and not a permanent cancellation. In my opinion "Stan Hooper" has been the best new show this year. If you're not familiar with it...

I'm thinking about buying the NBA League Pass (the pay-per-view style NBA TV package). I've never bought it before, and I was wondering if anybody knows if they lower the price later in the season. I wouldn't mind only buying the second half of the season for a fraction of the price. However, I...

There is a crossword puzzle in this months "Premiere" magazine. I believe I've filled in all but one letter. Maybe somebody could help me out... 34 Down, 3 letters: "Juice, Furious-style" I've got G_N. So does it mean gin? (Does everybody in 2 Fast, 2 Furious drink gin?) Or does it mean...

DVD Empire lists an Anchor Bay DVD of Time Bandits for release on May 6. The synopsis begins with "New Anamorphic Widescreen Transfer!" I haven't heard of this release, and I don't see it listed anywhere else. Is this really coming?

I was quite surprised to see this on page 50 of the Winter 2003 Columbia House DVD Club catalog that came in the mail the other day: So, this is just some kind of weird mistake..... right??

I've got all of the "Honeymooners" Lost Episodes DVDs, so I thought it was time to put the old VHS tapes on eBay. I compared the DVDs to the tapes to make sure I didn't still need any tapes to maintain a complete collection, and I was disappointed to find 2 episodes that aren't on DVD...

Is it possible to convert an HDTV signal into a standard TV signal, so that I could record a show onto DVD (and maintain the 16:9 ratio)? Sorry if this has been covered before (or if it's just a stupid question). I searched the forum but didn't find an answer.

I just watched the first hour of The Guns of Navarone and the picture didn't look quite right to me. I just checked some reviews and nobody mentioned it, so I'm starting to wonder if it's in my head. Here's the thing: it looks to me like the picture is stretched horizontally, so everybody is a...

For a while I've been aware that the HTF time of day was 2 minutes behind my computer's clock. Today they are the same. My question is: was the HTF clock reset, or is something up with my computer?

I just bought Fort Apache, The Bronx at Best Buy for 6 or 7 dollars. The back of the case says "Aspect Ratio 4:3 letterbox." Does anybody know what the mistake is? Is it actually 4:3, or is it actually letterboxed? Amazon says it's full-screen, but DVD Planet says it's 1.85:1. I don't want to...

The Digital Bits says Columbia announced the Mr. Deeds Goes to Town: Keepsake Edition for May 5th. Anybody have any idea how it will be different from the version that's currently available? (Hopefully not just a trailer for the new Adam Sandler remake.)

Does anybody have any idea if this title is ever going to show up on DVD? Since they had just recently released it on VHS (and LD, I think) when DVD broke, I figured they'd put out a DVD. 5 years later I'm still waiting.

Okay, it just crossed my mind... Americans of African descent are often called African-Americans. In Canada, does anyone use the term "African-Canadian"? Obviously this question could be expanded to include other races and nations.

During my lunch hour today, I was going to watch my new Klute DVD. At first I thought there was something wrong with my headphones, because the sound was all on the right side. (It was extremely noticable during the Warner Brothers intro.) I tried another DVD (Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking...

I got my HDTV OTA receiver last week. I've watched some HDTV in primetime on CBS. I watched "The Tonight Show" on NBC. Last night I was going to check out 101 Dalmations and "Alias" on ABC. I was extremely disappointed to discover that WRTV's High Definition channels were just showing a...

CNN just reported that Turner Network Television is being "repurposed" and will now consist solely of repeated broadcats of the hit action/comedy Rush Hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Alright, maybe not quite yet, but I think the announcement is probably inevitable. Honestly, I've never...

I just noticed that the Motorama DVD coming out Tuesday (from Columbia Tristar) is 1.33:1. Does anybody know if this is the original aspect ratio? I wouldn't think so, but I don't really know. I looked at the back cover scan on DVDEmpire.com and it looks like there may be something at the...

There is a Best Buy ad in this morning's paper (I saw it in The Indianapolis Star) that advertises Memento for $19.99. Under the picture of the DVD it says:
