Have any of you seen "Night watch"? (I talked about it before) It's been out on DVD for some time, but since Fox bought all American distribution rights, they have mandated to stop making NTSC formatted dvds of it. The disk has been slowly disappearing from even Russian stores in America. And...
Sometime ago I watched Night Watch (Nochnoy Dozor), in Russia it beat both "SpiderMan ||" & "Lord of the rings |||". I liked the film, though it's not "Matrix" or "Lord of the Rings", but there are scenes inspired by those movies, as well as "Blade" and "Prophecy". I would not call it truly...

Well, I have seen how DVD looks on Sony digital TV projector. And I must tell you that it depends on the DVD. The latest ones (over 6Gb for the movie itself) look ok, but older ones look crummy. HDTV looks pretty good. So I expect HDVDs to be best suited for the new TV projectors. Also have...
Here's a question to the fans of the movie / book, would you like to see a sequel to the film trilogy? Based on Perumov's books, which I really enjoyed.
