I haven't watched the movie so I can't comment on in. I'll wait until it comes out in BD and then rent it first to see if'll be one I want to buy. Elixir's comment about TDK might be the movie to get him to buy a BD player got me to thinking: for…

Trumptman, I agree with you. I'd sure like an iPhone but am a very satisfied Verizon customer, coming over from the absolutely poor service of AT&T about 4 years ago. Rather than get the Dare or something like it, I think I'll stick with my regu…

Walter, there are only a few movies that I buy when they first come out, The Hunt for Red October is an example, other titles that I'm interested in go on a "buy when on deep sale" list. Amazon typically has new releases at 30% off which is still hi…

The Seattle Times ran the results of a Harris Interactive survey dealing with electronics Monday. There was no information as to the size of the survey or who was surveyed, so these figures need to be taken with a grain of salt. Some of the resul…

One of the Criterion BD films schedule for release this fall is The Third Man, one of my all time favorites. I know Universal released some HD DVD B&W catalog titles, Casablanca comes to mind, and am wondering if anyone has seen any of them …

Criterion has announced its BD release schedule for this fall according to a report on AVSforum. It appears that the titles will be priced at $39.95.

Paramount has announced a release schedule starting on May 20 with Bee Movie, Blades of Glory, Face/Off and Next followed on June 3 with Cloverfield and There Will Be Blood. Hopefully better movies will follow.

I have mixed feeling, mostly negative, about the rumor that Netflix will charge more for BD. I could see maybe $1 more per month? I'm on a one at a time, unlimited number plan? but the flip side is there had better not be any waits as there often is…

Not an inspiring list of titles so far. Let's hope that the rest of the 40 projected for 2008 will contain some movies that people might actually want to watch. Still, it's a first step.
