    PHE Press Release: Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (Blu-ray)

    So I had to cancel my Amazon order after reading the reviews that have come out. The one disc blu-ray that Amazon (and likely others) is selling only has a couple of the bonus features. Best Buy will be selling an exclusive with all the bonus material contained on a separate disc. In the press...

    Anyone else order the BD-Audio of "The Social Network"?

    It can be ordered from here: http://www.nullco.com/TSN/ $20 plus s/h Mid-October ship date I put in my order today after I was blown away by the 5 track sampler. It sounded great even in MP3; I can only imagine what it will sound like in a high resolution format.

    MI:3 getting a lossless DTS-HD MA release on 8/3/10?

    According to this product page at Wally World: http://www.walmart.com/ip/14662982#ProductDetail JJ's MI:3 is getting a lossless track. No announcement from Paramount that I've seen. I wonder if any insiders can confirm because if so, I will definitely upgrade it from my DD+ HD DVD.

    Best baseball game for the Wii?

    I'm in the mood to play through a baseball season on a Wii game but I'm not sure the best one out there. I was a big fan of the old Bases Loaded game on the original NES so something similar would be great. Something that keeps track of stats and records, etc. Not too difficult gameplay...

    Fincher's "The Social Network"

    Hi David, Do you have any involvement in Fincher's latest project, "The Social Network" due out later this year? I find it very interesting that he took on this story regarding the founders of Facebook. That's how I understand it anyway but maybe you can shed more light on it if you are working...

    Big and open room = audio problems?

    My current setup is in my basement which measures approx. 16' x 40+' x 8'. I call it my media room. I have a 5.1 system with viewing/listening distance of approx. 14'. I do have some tri-traps in the front corners and acoustic panels for first reflections. I'm not really sure what sonic loss I'm...

    Discover cardholders and Amazon shoppers

    $10 immediate credit for $50 purchase when using Discover card on certain items. Unfortunately no master list but it looks like most video games, Wii stuff and some movies qualify. It even works on the LG 270 BD player that is on sale for $99.99 making it $90 shipped. For a limited time, when...

    Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense"

    Wonderful concert Blu-ray. Not sure I'd rank it ahead of Police Certifiable (my favorite concert Blu-ray) and I'm trying not to let any bias towards Talking Heads influence my reaction but what a great sounding concert this is. Video is actually pretty weak. Soft, lack of detail and full of...

    New Panasonic AE4000 projector

    http://www.projectorcentral.com/panasonic_ae4000_projector_review.htm First review is up. I have to say that as an AE3000 owner, I didn't have much interest in upgrading to a 4000 based on what I read at Cedia. Heck, they didn't even show the projector there. But this first review has me...

    Apple TV - best resource site?

    I've had my ATV for several months now (bought it from a seller here!) and I really like it. I primarily use it for renting flicks, showing off photos and playing my iTunes music when I'm cleaning around the house or even entertaining. Just the other day, I was able to quickly bring up my HD...

    Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

    A recent Michael Bay interview indicated that you will be working on the DVD/Blu-ray release. Any info you can share about it? Will it incorporate a PiP feature like the first Transformers? Will there be a separate disc for all the bonus features? Little tidbits would be great! :D

    Friday Night Lights DVD news: Announcement for Friday Night Lights - The 3rd Season | TVShowsOnDVD.com Didn't see a thread for this release. Great season. Saw it on the Directv 101 channel.

    Where to purchase acoustic panels at lowest cost?

    I'm hoping to get some help or get pointed in the right direction for my next media room purchase - acoustical panels / bass traps. But I'm not looking to spend a grand for these items either and since I'm not the most handy person around, I'd rather not DIY them. So I'm looking for the cheapest...

    Dumb noob type question

    How can I watch shows/movies that I've DL'd on iTunes on my television without using AppleTV? I totally missed season 2 of Mad Men on AMC but I see the entire season is available on iTunes. It looks like I have a mini-DVI port on my macbook so I'm assuming a miniDVI to HDMI cable would work but...

    DVD Review Comprehensive list of R2 (UK) only DVD releases?

    I've done some searching on here and Google but haven't come up with much. I'm trying to find a site or listing of R2 DVD releases that do not have a R1 release. For example, David Fincher's The Game has a special edition that was released in the UK in 2006, I believe. However a U.S. edition...

    What, no firewire on my new Macbook?

    So I grabbed my trusty ole Canon ZR200 camcorder and rewound about 50 minutes of Christmas Day footage that I taped on its mini DV tape. Then I grabbed my firewire cable and went to hook it up to my new Macbook. I was really looking forward to using iMovie. Umm, looked around and no firewire...

    12 Blu-rays of Christmas

    Cute title, right? I was reading Home Theater Mag's article on the best Blu-ray discs and got to thinking.... My intention here is to try and name the 12 must have or must own Blu-ray discs no matter what year the movie was released and no matter the commercial success of the movie. Whether...

    My non-professional mini-review of the Panasonic AE3000

    The Panny AE3000 was first introduced to me via the press release from CEDIA. Once I learned of the specs of their new projector, I knew I had to have one. For some time, I've been trying to figure out a way to go scope screen for the least amount of money. I currently was using a JVC RS1 which...

    The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

    Saw the trailer the other night during the Olympics. Looks awesome! My wife looked over at me and said "that looks creepy". I replied, "it's David Fincher...c'mon!!!" Really can't wait to see this one. Are you going to be working on the eventual 2009 release? If so, when do you usually start?

    Any decent and frequently updated DVD fan commentary sites?

    I was wondering if anyone knew of any good DVD fan commentary sites. I did a search and could only find a UK site that hasn't been updated in a few years. Does anyone know of any? I'm looking for sites that have recorded their own commentaries that could be run along side playing a popular...

    Anyone pick up or see "Lars and the Real Girl"

    Decided to pass on a blind buy of this one due to it's unusual subject matter but critic reviews of this one were mostly positive. Anyone see this on DVD yet? If so, what did you think? What about picture and audio quality? I've got it in my NF queue so hopefully I'll get it later this week.

    A 4th Bourne movie is in the works!

    A Fourth Bourne Sequel Is on the Way! Details are thin but Variety is reporting that Greengrass and Damon have signed on for another installment. I'm thinking this will probably be a summer '09 release. Will it be based on the 4th Bourne book? I think it's called Bourne Legacy but I've never...

    Projector image question

    I know this is probably a totally noob type question but I must ask... What is the best way to make sure a projector is dialed in at the proper focus/sharpness? I know the best way to tell is with your eyes when you view an image but is there a certain look that a pixel grid should have? I...
