High Definition Optical Discs (Blu-ray and HD DVD)
The debate continues whether this was ever in stock to begin with, but good news is that it actually IS in stock now! If you’ve been waiting, you might want to hurry since no word on exactly how many they have in stock. Given the lifespan of these discs (looong) you would hope they have plenty to last. […]
Read moreNot a lot of releases again this week, but there are a couple nice gems. Nice to see Boogie Nights out on blu-ray, and fans of Weeds will be pleased to see Season 5 released as well. I enjoyed the Che film, but it’s pretty long, so be prepared. Whiteout was decent, if you’re looking for a thriller to match […]
Read moreIf you paid $3000 only to find out that what you bought was a re-badged $500 product with not a single thing different, would you be angry? Yeah, I would too, but that’s exactly what Lexicon has done with their latest BD player, which essentially takes a stock Oppo BDP-83, throws it in a Lexicon chassis, puts up a THX […]
Read moreIf at first you don’t succeed, try try again. That is a motto apparently very well known over at Wal-Mart, where they are supposedly in talks to acquire movie streaming service from Vudu. I always liked Vudu but just felt their selection and pricing weren’t in fit with my needs, but having a powerhouse like Wal-Mart behind them can’t hurt […]

[H]ardOCP has found a link to a pretty cool interactive map of what’s in Netflix queues by region. Pretty interesting, and agree kinda creepy. For example, in Inglewood, California, Twilight is number one on the list. Back east, some have The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Pretty cool. Head over to NYTimes for the full maps.
Read moreAnother fairly slow week of releases to continue the start of 2010, but there’s a couple decent choices here. If you need some Stallone or Arnold nostalgia, Cliffhanger was an entertaining one finally being released on Blu-ray, since I’m sure you were all clammoring for it and Arnold’s Last Action Hero. Halloween 2 was another fairly brutal offering from Rob […]
Read moreThe good news: HQV has released a new 2.0 version of their calibration disc and it only costs $20! The bad news, it’s already unavailable. Doh! I’ve worked with disc duplication, and it would make no sense for them to have produced so few of a disc so rarely changed that they ran out already…so I’m guessing production is just […]
Read moreI’m honestly surprised, given all the digital distribution methods available, as well as the dominance Netflix has had on the movie watching place, that the numbers are what they are…which is to say impressive. Home Media Mag According to DEG figures, Blu-ray Disc sales were up 70% and rentals were up 48% from the previous year. In the fourth quarter […]
Read moreWell this sure seems like screwing the consumer doesn’t it? So you pay a monthly rental fee to Netflix and then you always have to wait for the new releases anyways. Now–for Warner Bros. movies at least–you will have to wait an additional 28 days on top of your normal delay just to get the latest from their offerings. In […]
Read moreNot a very busy week to start off the new year, but I work with what’s available! I tried watching Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs….couldn’t finish it. Chuck is great of course, if you like TV Show Blu-rays (don’t forget new Chuck starts this Sunday!). MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week The Final Destination The Final Destination is the […]
