    Help with viewing my R1s in an R2 country

    Whew! This good news. Thanks for the suggestions. So is the best solution is to buy a multi-region player? I'm not necessarily attached to my current player. Are the multi-regions sold everywhere? How does this deal with piracy, or is not really an issue when it comes to regions? I'm not...

    Help with viewing my R1s in an R2 country

    Due to work I am moving from the US to the UK later this year. All of my DVDs are in R1 format. I'm not quite sure what to do about this so I was hoping I could get some help here. Obviously my hardware is US as well although if needed I can replace the audio and keep the players. Is there...

    HTF Review: Dead Like Me - The Complete Second Season

    I'm hoping a lot fans buy the sets. Perhaps, we could have another Family Guy-like turnaround. Seth MacFarlane has said that the show was picked back up because of the strong box set sales. The only downside here is that DLM was Showtime only and when I was raving about it during the first-runs...

    Have an advance copy of Moonlighting DVD Seasons 1&2

    I stopped in to an out of town CC to pickup their add for price matching at BB and they had it on the shelf. I was surprised and excited thinking I had the wrong date on my release calendar. I rushed back to my home town BB who said it was not released until next week. So I went across the...

    Any area of weakness in your collection/library?

    My collection is light in both horror and comedy. I've seen so many over the years that current comedies just repeat old gags in a new setting so I see them coming. Another another downside is some of the older comedies that I grew up on aren't quite as funny as I remember them or are...

    Is Forgotten worth a blind buy?

    I like the story line but I've read two reviews that were polar opposites. Is it worth a blind buy?

    Leon: 10th Anniversary Edition coming "later this year"

    I've been looking through this thread trying to find a reason why I should upgrade from my "corrected" Intl. Cut. Are the only reasons DTS and three making of features?

    Weekly RoundUp 10/19/04

    I'm pretty sure Ed Wood will be $16.99 @ BB. But don't ask me how I know. The disc is sweet though.

    Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

    I figured this was a small enough film that the studios would have issued this years ago. Does anyone have any info on a release...ever? Shawn

    Best three Worst three Need three

    You have a wide variety which makes suggesting titles a hit or miss. I could say complete the Man With No Name series, etc., but then I'm not sure.;) So I stuck with a few solid must haves and RTOTK to complete the series. Best three: Pulp Fiction The Good the Bad the Ugly Finding Nemo...

    Ok, I stand corrected. I have heard this plea before. I'm not sure where, but it was similar. I am in between, I have a 22 month old and two teenagers. I suppose I was too harsh and should view the movie again since it has been years. However, I stand firm on the Mummy. You couldn't shake me...

    Best three Worst three Need three

    I agree, I try to only be movies with replay value. I may not watch them again for a couple of years but at least I know I can pick from what I like. I've been burned a few times with blind buys but I just try to sell them quickly before the price drops so I can at least get 2/3 back. Best...

    Whoops, Castaway and Daredevil are WS. I updated their entries. I didn't like Hannibal and Animatrix was ok. I will eventually pickup Signs, its on my long list, not short list. Thanks.

    Charlie Chaplin The Complete Essanay & Mutual Collection

    Thanks for all the info. I think I will pick the box set up today. Derek, it's funny you mention introducing chaplin to a young audience. I tried to get both of my older boys (15 & 16) to watch Modern Times and Gold Rush. One almost made it through 15 min. of Modern Times and they both almost...

    Charlie Chaplin The Complete Essanay & Mutual Collection

    I bought the first volume of feature length movies last week and love it. I have never seen the shorts, is the collection worth buying tomorrow? I was wondering if the content quality/scripting was as good as the full length movies which came later. I understand he did a run of 36 shorts in one...

    Is Gangs of New York worth a blind buy?

    Ok, ok. I rented it. I have to say, it was good. Not great just good. Blind buy? Well I don't think I would be too disappointed, but I can't say I would watch it again so I'm glad I rented first. However, I did like it so I can't say I understand why so many people were disappointed buy...

    Le Femme Nikita SE

    I don't mean to keep dragging this out but how close are the subtitles to the original dialog? I understand the dub trying to sync the translation to lip movement. However, the subtitles seem to add a lot of extra words that actually make the dialog seem corny at times. An example is when she...

    Is Gangs of New York worth a blind buy?

    Is Gangs of New York worth a blind buy? I didn't have a chance to see it in the theater. I've read mixed reviews all over the place. Target has it for $14.99 Tuesday. I was planning on getting the Chaplin collection along with a couple of others. So is the consensus to rent or buy...

    Anyone buy used DVDs?

    I checked out the CH club site but they have a limited selection and they don't list the regular prices unless you become a member. Do they still send you DVDs each month that you have to either buy or send back each month? Plus shipping? I buy a lot of used DVDs. Getting descent discs really...

    Weekly Roundup 6/17 (worst Roundup ever!)

    Wow, finally a slow week, and possibly next week too. I am considering "The Hours" next week though. I tend to pickup mark downs from my "want" list during these dry times. And I will be picking up: Queen Live at Wembley July 1 starts to lighten my wallet with Something about Mary CE...

    Weekly Roundup 6/3

    The Circuit City in my town is horrible too. Titles are not alphabetized or sorted in genres. I can't imagine someone being so lazy that they just grap a handful off the cart and stack them on the shelf without looking at the title for some sort of orginization. It must be me. If CC in PA...
