I must say, I really enjoyed "1313 Mockingbird Lane" as a different take on familiar characters. Very darkly funny and creepy. Wish that one had continued.
My beloved 48" Samsung 3D TV has developed a brownish line across the screen about 2/3 of the way down. I have been a 3D nut since I was a kid and hate to lose this feature ... I know it's a long shot, but has anyone found any sources that still might have 3D TVs for sale?
I know about the...
I was lucky enough to know him and to work with him on a couple of projects. Class, grace, and intelligence were a part of everything he did ... and one of the kindest gents I have ever met. RIP Hal.
I know that when the title was originally released, it was noted that if using active 3D glasses, there was a ton of ghosting and effects being "off" ... having an active system, I can confirm that. (And with deep sadness, as it is one of my favorites and I was greatly looking forward to it in...
Of the dozens of 3D features I have purchased, "Revenge of the Creature" is the only one that plays in side by side format, requiring me to alter my TV when I view it. Every other 3D feature simply, well ... plays.
I have had to go this route with YouTube videos, but never with a Blu Ray...
LaLaLandRecords has just released a 2-CD set of an expanded soundtrack, with early demos and other extras as well.

It took three tries to get the film's Blu-Ray to play, without dropping music or stopping and skipping during the overture. Finally, after the third cleaning, it worked and the film and sound are as gorgeous as reported. But I, like others, cannot get the second Blu-Ray to play at all. I get...
Yes I meant the Samsung, sorry about that. The player was just released a couple of months ago, so i wasn't aware of a firmware update so soon. Matt, I'd love to know if you encounter the same trouble. Thanks!
I am really enjoying my new Samsung BDP-1500 ... even how well it upconverts standard DVDs. I was trying to play my copy of Disney's "Atlantis" (Collector's Edition) and cannot get the player to move past the previews that begin the disc. Every time the player tries to access the menu, either...
Liza Minnelli took over the role of Roxie Hart for a few weeks fairly early into the run, when Gwen Verdon was experiencing vocal troubles resulting from inhaling a feather from a boa she used during a number. At the time the show was struggling, and the producers knew that relacing Verdon with...
I have always been extremely pleased with Netflix -- I get the next film in my queue generally within 48 hours of mailing the previous one. I tried Blockbuster and it couldn't compare -- it didn't have the depth of films available and delivery was terrible. I hope this only strengthens...
DaVid -- Even though I already owned the LaserDisc Box of POCAHONTAS, I was on the fence about buying the DVD until I read your review. I truly appreciate the care, the detail, and the LOVE you show for the films you review, as well as being candid about how well they are represented on DVD...
