    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: "The crime of Padre Amaro" (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) (with screenshots)

    Region 1 DVDs are for North America. Last I checked, Latinos were the largest minority in the US, and they also buy DVDs. So stop being so surprised to the fact that the commentary is in Spanish. JC

    Has there been any news on The Name of the Rose(1986) w/ Sean Connery?

    I have it on DVD. If I am not mistaken, this is a Region 0 DVD. It is widescreen, but not anamorphic. No features whatsoever.

    12 monkees question

    Derek: Sorry for the joke, but I couldn't resist. Aaron is right, go for the DD. The Hamster Factor documentary alone is worth the price of the DVD. Plus, I am not even sure if the DTS version has the commentary by Gilliam (which if I remember correctly, stops very suddenly, so he must...

    Spanish dubs, particularly Buffy: La Cazavampiros

    OK, I guess I consider myself an expert on this matter, so take my word for it. I grew up in a Spanish speaking country, watching all the shows on TV you also did, from Gilligan’s Island to Three is Company, and form Mission Impossible to the Six Million Dollar Man. And all the cartoons you...

    Miyazaki's SPIRITED AWAY, KIKI, and LAPUTA in April!

    Absolutely, positively, I will be picking up these titles. Miyazaki's work, and Indiana Jones, are IMHO, the Holy Grail of DVD. I just hope hundreds of thousands of people do the same, to encourage Disney to release the rest of Miyazaki's catalog... I have never seen Nausicaa, and hope to see...

    Disney movies in 1.66:1 ratio... Why?

    Dan: Thanks for your suggestion. This is the setting I had originally (16x9, Progressive Scanning). But I thought in this setting, I would see small black bars on the side when watching a 1.66:1 title, just like "The Sorcerer Apprentice" segment displays in Fantasia 2000. When I watch...

    Disney movies in 1.66:1 ratio... Why?

    Guys: Thanks a lot for the great input. As I mentioned, I just got the TV, and am in the process of fine-tunning the hardware and software for a pleasurable viewing. I was a bit concerned about the 1.66:1 ratio movies, because I was expecting some matting on the sides, but I am not getting...

    Disney movies in 1.66:1 ratio... Why?

    Rob: So, if I understand correctly, when I watch a 1:66 movie (in this case Lilo & Stitch) in my 16X9 TV, the image is not being stretched or distorted at all, but rather, the TV uses the maximum width to frame the picture, and then crops a very small amount of the image at the top and the...

    Disney movies in 1.66:1 ratio... Why?

    Luke: Thanks to you as well. I also have Beauty and the Beast, and I didn't realized there are issues with the framing (I watched it originally on my 4:3 old TV. I will have to check this out. So, do you think in the case of a properly formatted 1.66:1 title, like Lilo & Stitch, I should...

    Disney movies in 1.66:1 ratio... Why?

    George: Thanks for your input. The DVD player is set up for a 19x9 TV, and Progressive scanning. So when I first watched the movie, it filled the screen, and looked good to me (the image didn't look stretched, but as I said, it could be because of the character design, which tends to be...

    Disney movies in 1.66:1 ratio... Why?

    Just bear with me for a second with the background of my story, and I will get to the main issue, so I can benefit from all your expertise: Recently, my DVD player, a Toshiba SD-2700 died on me, and became an overpriced CD Player: Doesn't play DVDs, only CDs. So in the meantime, I was...
