I am selling the movie "Son of the Morning Star." The made-for-TV movie is presented on two VHS video cassettes (in a slipcover box) and runs 183 minutes. To the best of my knowledge, it has never been available on DVD. Here is a plot synopsis: This sweeping TV adaptation of Evan S...

I can't figure Sony out either. But I speculate that somehow, Sony thinks it can make money off of hardware, or actually will make money off of hardware, while it simply isn't cost effective for them to issue SACDs. I'm quite grateful that Mobile Fidelity has recently announced that it will...

Though I didn't love it, I did like this film. I liked the way the German army was portrayed, and I agree the tension builds throughout, even though the ending was predictable (same situation as with Titanic). I thought the cast was great, except for Cruise. He was ok, but I'm not sure he...

Doug, your summary is "dead on" target . . . I couldn't agree more! I saw this about 5 weeks ago, and it is still playing at the local "art house" theater (Angelika Film Center in Dallas). I'm not a fan of vampire movies per se, but when I read the review in the local paper (Dallas Morning...

I'll miss some of the past comedic hosts (e.g., Steve Martin), but I bet they checked out Jackman closely and found him to fit the bill nicely. I think we will all be pleasantly surprised and entertained.

There are several sites on the net that have a variety of products. In addition to Bags Unlimited, you might also check out CD, DVD and Audio Cases, Sleeves and Storage at Sleeve

Son of the Morning Star--made-for-TV movie. Starred Gary Coleman as General George Custer, Rosanna Arquette as his wife, and the Native American Rodney Grant played Crazy Horse. Simply the best movie about Custer and the massacre of the U.S. calvary at Little Big Horn. Very well...

I would like to revive this old thread! I saw Masada when it was originally broadcast on network TV. I loved it. So I eagerly anticipated its release on DVD. I know some will disagree with me, but the reviews of the video quality of the region 1 issue scared me away from it. There are...

I'm on Patrick's side on this one, and he expressed far more elegantly that I could the problems with this movie. What a mess! What was it trying to be . . . historical period piece, love story, children's fairy tale, etc.? The stereotypes--city slicker uppercrust English woman and...

I'm hopeful this movie is a winner too. Like others, I'm a big historical epic movie fan, and movies like this don't come along too often. In trailer 2, Nicole says to the aboriginal child something along the lines of "I will find you . . . whatever happens, I will come for you," which is...

Thank goodness. I thought Audio Fidelity was dead. We need both Mobile Fidelity and Audio Fidelity reissuing as many rock titles as they can. SACD is on life support (except for mainly classical or jazz titles from smaller companies), but I'll take well done RBCD w/ Hoffman's remastering...

I watched the trailer of this new Eastwood movie and wasn't overly impressed. Of course, I'm a big Eastwood fan, but some of my favorite stars (DeNiro, Pacino, to name two) seemed to act in less than compelling movies as they became older. I don't think they necessarily "lost their acting...

There is a long thread over at the Steve Hoffman forum on this topic: Emerson Lake And Palmer 'Brain Salad Surgery' SACD - SH Forums Check the end of the thread for comments on sound quality. I think the purchase of this product is a no-brainer, esp. if you are a ELP fan.

I found both the review and all the comments quite interesting. Thanks. I've got but two comments: 1) I didn't get it either, in fact I was (almost bitterly) disappointed because I was looking forward to enjoying the film. I'm a huge fan of Malick's The Thin Red Line and Days of Heaven...

Thanks for the review. I really enjoyed this movie in the theater (saw it twice), and plan on owning it on blu ray. I hope that the rest of the trilogy makes it to the silver screen. If they don't do it soon, it will be difficulty to have the proper continuity between the first Mongol movie...

This movie sounds interesting. I used to think Ridley could do no wrong, esp. in light of Blade Runner, Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, and American Gangster. But I didn't really get into Kingdom of Heaven, neither the theatrical cut nor the extended cut on DVD. Nonetheless, he is a fine...

It's really hard to figure out why Hollywood will make one historical event into a movie, and not another. Probably a myriad of factors involved, but I'd think that $$$ drives the whole decision making process. When an inexpensive movie makes a load at the box office, Hollywood behavior is...

CD vs SACD isn't just a matter of superior audio format. There are several other matters to consider: 1) The original recording--how well was the music originally recorded? 2) The remaster--how well was it done? There are some mediocre SACDs and there are some excellent RBCDs (=...

This was on my "must see" list for the fall, but I've changed my mind. The movie critics have savaged it. Yes, I don't always agree with their opinion, but this movie received an overwhelming low rating of 27% on the tomato meter. That does not bode well . . . movie demoted to maybe a 1.00...

I saw the news report this morning while surfing the net. A sad day indeed. He was such a rarity--brilliant actor AND humanitarian.

I'm not a big fan of her, but I recognize that she is very talented. I always admire artists who do "everything": write their own songs, play an instrument, and sing. I own two of her albums (Little Earthquakes; From the Choirgirl Hotel), and I think Little Earthquakes is her finest work.

I wish I had seen this earlier! At any rate, my favorite Candlebox song is "Lucy."

3 stars or B sounds about right IMO. This is average to slightly-above average fare for the Coen brothers, but even Coen brothers average is way better than the average Hollywood drivel. It moves along nicely and there are some hysterically funny moments. That being said, almost every...

Brad, this would be great news. What is the time frame . . . when will you get the 2-disc sets? I assume we are talking about 2009 (it's too late probably at this time to roll out a major ad campaign for Christmas 2008, but I could be wrong). Some at SHF are still skeptical that we will ever...

I think that is the key. Sony and Philips, among others, wanted to replace the CD because royalty payments were expiring. Therefore, they were out to create a new proprietary format (SACD; the DVD-A consortium was backing DVD-A), not use an existing technology, DVD, which you have well argued...

I'm interested in this movie as well. In fact, I'm nearly always interested in World War II movies. Another WW II movie coming out in December, Defiance, stars Daniel Craig, summarized on the apple movie trailer site by the following: In WWII Russia, Jewish refugees band together into a...

Of course, I'm excited about any classic rock releases on SACD, since SACD has been on life support and DVD-A is in a state of rigor mortis. So now we have ELP BSS and BS Paranoid on our way. I think that's great news. I am a little stunned at the cost of these items. Yes, they are...

Has anyone seen this movie yet, and if so, what did you think? It just opened in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. It stars Woody Harrelson, Emily Mortimer (remember her in Match Point?), and Ben Kingsley. It's a kind of "Hitchkockian" train thriller in which two Americans, who are returning...

I too just learned of Appaloosa this week when I found a trailer on Apple's movie trailer site. I'm a big fan of Westerns . . . the genre, almost completely dead, seems to have experienced a slight resurgence as of late (Seraphim Falls, 3:10 To Yuma; The Proposition [Australian western])...
