Since the announcement of the iPad, the CEDIA professional home installer market has been very excited to get things running on it.

Read moreI must admit I’m surprised how fast DirecTV has rolled out their 3D. I won’t be jumping on this bus, since I’m not a DirecTV subscriber nor have a 3D set, but if you do, here’s a good roundup of what you need to get started. Once you have all the above, you will need to get the latest […]
Read moreGreat week if you’re a Clint Eastwood fan, as he gets the Blu-ray treatment on a lot of his great films. The Director Cut collection includes Million Dollar Baby as well as the amazing Unforgiven, as well as two others. The prison fight movie Undisputed somehow received funding to make a 3rd film…can’t imagine it’s much different than the first […]

Read moreNot many new releases this week, but there are quite a few classics in the mix. A couple Troma releases–which if you haven’t seen, let’s just say you better have a sturdy stomach, not my style at all. Seven Swords is arguably one of the classic kung-fu films of all time, and was almost my pick for the week. I […]
