    WHV Announcement: Friday The 13th Extended Killer Cut (DVD/Blu-ray)

    The 09 movie was released domestically in theaters (and on home video) by Warner Brothers through their New Line Cinema arm, but Paramount have international distribution rights. It was the exact opposite with the original movie. I have to say, I enjoyed it (due to the opening day crowd...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: Nights in Rodanthe

    Maybe Warners finally paid attention to all the complaints about their recent spat of poorly-compressed and encoded discs for their recent fare (perhaps it was the complaints about TDK's PQ that Warners finally started taking the complaints seriously). My interest perked up when I heard about...

    Little Mermaid 2 SE - Liner Booklet/Card?

    Disney's done cost-cutting measures like this before -- in 2003, they got rid of chapter inserts for quite a few titles (Gangs of New York and The Jungle Book 2 for one) but reinstated them after customers complained. Disney didn't include any chapter inserts for their Wall-E or Prince...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: The Dark Knight: Two-Disc Special Edition

    I think Nolan just supervised the Blu-ray transfer, from the looks of it. Unless an interview with Nolan says otherwise that he did supervise both transfers of TDK for DVD and Blu, I think the studio is to blame for not investing more time to make the DVD transfer for TDK as good as BB's was.

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: The Dark Knight: Two-Disc Special Edition

    You forgot Superman Returns. The PQ on that DVD also left a lot to be desired... the picture was too soft and only the brighter-lit scenes looked good. It's a shame that Warners has dropped the ball on the PQ for The Dark Knight in a similar way. Perhaps if they get enough complaints about...

    HTF DVD REVIEW: The New World Extended Cut

    So is this extended cut a carryover from NL that they didn't get to release on DVD themselves? Maybe they were waiting to get some good bonus content before they were folded into WB. And does the disc open with a NL logo or the WHV logo after the FBI warning?

    WHV Announcement: The Dark Knight (DVD/Blu-ray)

    When Nolan and editor Lee Smith were supervising the crop lines for the 2.40:1 theatrical showings, I have a feeling they didn't just position the crop lines at the top and bottom of the IMAX footage but altered the positions of the crop lines for the more problematic shots to make sure no...

    WHV Announcement: The Dark Knight (DVD/Blu-ray)

    Not necessarily. There's an article on IGN.com with an interview with Christopher Nolan about the Batman Begins DVD release, and Nolan specifically stated that he worked with the home video department to make sure BB looked and sounded good as possible on DVD. There's no reason he didn't do...

    X-Files: Fight the Future DVD?

    K-mart's online store has the 2001 anamorphic DTS version of FtF in stock for $9.98. Or you can check Walmart's bargain bins and find it cheaper.

    How long will it be before Buffy(tv series) goes Blu?

    True, but eventually it'll go HD someday and it won't be pretty. And while I know you're referring to the first two seasons, I think the seasons shot on 35mm film onwards were edited on Avid equipment. If Fox weren't the money-pinchers that they are, I'd love to see a serious remastering of...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: Iron Man: Ultimate 2-Disc Edition

    Does Iron Man have any color artwork, or is it Paramount's standard silver-gray color? I know they re-released the Indy films separately with color artwork (and the fourth one will probably follow suit), or whether that was due to a mandate by Spielberg.

    How long will it be before Buffy(tv series) goes Blu?

    If Fox ever decides to release Buffy on BD, they really need to remaster the first two seasons from scratch. The amount of grain present... ugh, and the less said about the second season's PQ on standard DVD the better. And a lossless audio remix would be even better. (Even though the first two...

    Breaking News: Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (DVD/Blu-ray)

    I really didn't get the hate directed at this flick. Disappointment maybe, after all those years of anticipation, but I thought this film was far from bad. Indy 4 is a damn sight more entertaining than the uninspired and clunky "Last Crusade" (and need I say Episode I?). It was the standard...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW - Doomsday (Unrated)

    Shouldn't the DD 5.1 track be EX-encoded? I remember that the one-sheet for Doomsday had the "Dolby Digital Surround EX" logo at the bottom, below the cast and crew listing. Is it EX-encoded but doesn't say it on the DVD?

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: P.S. I Love You

    The back cover for 10,000 B.C. states that Side A is dual-layered, although it doesn't say which aspect ratio Side A has.

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: P.S. I Love You

    Warners should dispense with the dual-sided/dual-format DVD trend they're doing now. If a film they released does fairly well or is a huge success, only then do they go about with separate full-screen and widescreen releases. I am at a loss as to why their films such as P.S. I Love You, The...

    New Indiana Jones SEs Coming?

    Yeah. Considering the overwhelming popularity of the Indy scores, I wouldn't be surprised if Concord forked over re-use fees for expanded releases of Temple and Crusade, as seeing they were recorded with studio orchestras in L.A. as opposed to the LSO for Raiders. Hopefully that re-use fees...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: The 11th Hour

    The movie itself seems pretty interesting, although I think Who Killed The Electric Car? and An Inconvenient Truth are much effective (and started this wave of pro-environment documentaries). And I'm disappointed in Warners continuing to put ads and now anti-piracy ads on their releases...

    New Indiana Jones SEs Coming?

    It's not actually a rumor. According to Music From the Movies, the record label Concord (who will release the Crystal Skull score) will re-release the original scores later on this year. My guess is that the first 3 scores will coincide with the release of Indy 4 on DVD and Blu-ray disc...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: One Missed Call

    Great, even Warners is getting in on the anti-piracy and anti-tobacco ads. If it continues on with the DVD release of The Dark Knight and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, I think I'll just get the Bluray versions to avoid that.

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: The Golden Compass: 2-Disc Platinum Series

    I just want to know if the audio commentary will be ported over or whether New Line deliberately omitted it from the single-disc pressings. I think it's the latter, so could anyone prove/disprove that?

    The Wiz??? 30th DVD

    DVD Empire. For most titles, it has back cover art for their DVDs like a week or a few days shy of their release dates. I suppose that since The Wiz got a DTS 5.1 track in addition to the 5.1 remix, I suppose Xanadu will get a similar treatment. There's only so much you can do with mono...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: I Am Legend: Two-Disc Special Edition

    Thank goodness Warner Brothers is rebounding after their sub-par transfers for their recent film releases. Perhaps WB is taking a leaf from Sony and Disney and downconverting their HD transfers for DVD? I hope that's the case. I was worried we'd get subpar transfers for the DVD releases of...

    Well, DVD Empire has the extras listed for the widescreen-only Indiana Jones SEs and they don't look so special (a separate box set collecting the three SEs will also be available): RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK - Raiders Of The Lost Ark: An Introduction - Indiana Jones: An Appreciation -...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: August Rush

    So does the additional scenes include optional English and French subtitles? As for the 5.1 track, what bitrate is it in? And doesn't the back cover state that the French and Spanish tracks are in 2.0 stereo than 5.1?
