    Anyone out there seen a review of the new edition?

    Equus- any reviews? impressions?

    My vote for a suicide inducing double-feature: "Glengarry Glen Ross" and "Equus" If the viewer is not ready to die after watching these two films, then they are the world's *utmost* sanguine.

    HTF REVIEW: "Cinema Paradiso" (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) (with screenshots)

    My favorite film of all time just got better. The extended version answers the questions I once had, and only adds to the hope and expectation of the 'Harvey Scissorhand's' version. What was a great film is now glorious.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: "Tuck Everlasting" (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) (with screenshots)

    It seems to me that the studios would be well-served if they took advantage of some of your reviews when promoting their DVD's on television. I'm sure someone has suggested it before, but with the growing popularity of the format, it seems more people would benefit from knowing the quality of...

    Master of Disguise - Pan & Scan

    Only "Perfect" and "Ishtar" have I hated more than this movie.

    SW EP II - DVD - not the clearest?

    This film transfer is 'okay' when projected from the front. Like someone else said earlier in the thread, the CGI looks great, but the actors look 'fuzzy.' There are many films out there with better transfers. "The emperor is nekkid."

    Towering Inferno

    I did a search, but could find no comments on this film. I know that it was released, but see that it's out of print. Any news on a re-release?

    HTF REVIEW: "Minority Report" (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

    The film was shot in Super 35. Those so-called 'fool screen' purchasers are not going to be missing that much. Don't get me wrong, I'm OAR all the way, but the fact remains, they won't be missing that much of the picture.

    Well I kinda Liked MIB2

    I liked the dog. More dog, less scrawny pale woman.

    Borders names their "Best DVDs of 2002"

    If it had been the same reviewers as populate this board, they would have just listed "LOTR EE!!!" 10 times, and left it at that.;)

    Gabriel - That's *exactly* the cable I'm using. Did you make it??

    Thanks, Paul. I'm at least glad to know I'm not the only one.

    Screen Door Effect on AOTC

    Why would I experience this with this film, and no others? I can't figure it out. I've got a Sharp projector (a good one) and this is the only film I've seen it in. It's only in certain portions of the picture. Could it be a bad disc?

    Projector / DVD Player Question

    I have a Sharp M20X w/DLP, and have been quite pleased with the picture on it. It even rated *very* high on the Projector Central website. It has a built in progressive scan feature with "2D, 3D, and Film" settings within it. On all the discs that have been rated the equivalent of "4 Stars" on...

    Roman Holiday Special Edition - DVD Review

    It doesn't show to be released until 11/26/02. What am I missing?

    *** Official 'Star Wars: Attack of the Clones' DVD Announcement/Discussion thread

    Aaron - I had some visual problems with this disc as well. It's a wonderful transfer, but I've seen better on my projection system. Maybe it's something to do with the all-digital nature of the film. Jeff

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: "Glengarry Glen Ross" (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) (with screenshots)

    Perhaps the most depressing movie I've ever seen.

    *** Official 'Star Wars: Attack of the Clones' DVD Announcement/Discussion thread

    Paul - I'm with you on this one (except for the sound). I, too, have a good DLP projector, and this disc just does not measure up to others I would consider 'reference' quality. Jeff

    *** Official 'Star Wars: Attack of the Clones' DVD Announcement/Discussion thread

    We watched it tonight, and I guess I'll be the Lone Ranger on this topic, but on 96" projection screen, this 'film' looks very good, but not great. The wife and I watched Moulin Rouge last night, and I would rate it a 9.5 on the transfer. AoTC rates a 7. Again, it's good, but does not appear...

    Color Filters

    The Avia disc comes with some little squares for this purpose, but no glasses.

    The TV specials, while short, are also included. Great disc.

    Funny Lady

    Except for a few years when I let politics get in the way, I've always had a bit of a crush on Babs. I was a little wary of purchasing this film on DVD, but it looked great. The music is wonderful, the sets are Technicolor marvels, and the transfer makes it all shine. If you're a fan of this...

    Want reference material? Look no further than Spy Kids, simply awesome!

    Ben - Aside from animation, it is the best I've seen. Bug's Life is a "10," but a 10 in animation. Spy Kid's is a 10 in the live action arena. Jeff

    Want reference material? Look no further than Spy Kids, simply awesome!

    This disc *is* my reference disc from this point forward. I've not seen anything as near perfection to date.

    GoldenEye Transfer?

    We watched it last night. I would have to give it a B+ as well. Pixilization (sp?) was evident in a few too many scenes.

    Cary Grant's "Houseboat"

    Has anyone previewed the transfer of this film? A etailer has it on special, and thought I'd pick it up if it were good. Thanks, Jeff

    GoldenEye Transfer?

    I picked up the SE last night for $12, and was planning on watching it tonight with my boys. Thanks for the feedback.

    GoldenEye Transfer?

    I did a search, but could find nothing specific. How is the transfer? Thanks, Jeff

    NO E.T. For ME

    Terrible transfer. The colors are better than I've ever seen, but, overall, not much to look at.
