Most of you probably are familiar with Spears & Munsil, one of the most known HD calibration discs out there. If you have never used one of these on your system, they help you to calibrate your system. If that sounds familiar, our own Aaron Ledger published a guide to help convince you on how to Calibrate Your Display that […]

I just received an e-mail this morning from Warner Bros. that the DVD2BLU program is again allowing the trade-in of ANY DVD to a choice of 105 Blu-ray titles. Free shipping on orders over $35.   Swap any qualifying DVD for a brand new Blu-Ray Disc for as low as $4.95. DVDs can be Warner Bros. or non-Warner Bros. titles. […]

Sorry there’s no $400 3D discs for sale this week, just your average number of regular films. Alice in Wonderland comes out in its 3D, and then there’s the Shrek Quadrilogy with hopefully the final Shrek chapter. MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week  Inception ** I’m not sure how much of an introduction is needed for this fantastic movie from director […]

Aaron pointed out that Avatar 3D is currently exclusive to Panasonic owners and fetching a nice price on ebay, but unfortunately not available through regular channels yet. Who wants to guess if it will break the 3D Blu-ray sales records 🙂 Outside of that, pretty slow week. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice was entertaining, as was Going The Distance, believe it or […]

Raise your hand if you’ve heard this before, the slumping economy is hurting the **** industry. It seems to be a defacto excuse for a lot of big companies. But…if DVDs and Blu-ray are so dead, then why does a movie like Avatar break records on sales? Inception’s coming out…I think it will do just fine. I think this is […]

Here’s a review of Panasonic’s Blu-ray player with quite a lot of integrated online services. It’s about time I upgraded my Blu-Ray player I think, and Geeks.com has come through for me by sending a very nice Panasonic unit for review.  My current Blu-Ray player is an older model from Sony with not many features at all, and with very […]

I actually thought they had done this last year…but apparently I’m wrong. Slysoft AnyDVD is THE best software for ripping your Blu-ray and DVD movies to your hard drive, strictly for backup purposes. So…if you find yourself needing something like that you may want to take advantage before you have to start paying for upgrades. The upgrades are CRITICAL as […]

Wow…what a tough week. I haven’t seen Eat, Pray, Love…but I’ve seen enough to know it wasn’t going to be my pick. Deadwood was a good show, but I never followed it. So… MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week  The Expendables   Sly Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, DOLPH LUNDGREN…and hey even Arnold!!! Oh this movie had such potential…and I suppose […]

I’m sure this will get better as we get closer to black monday, but Amazon has some pretty sweet Blu-ray deals with lots of titles at only $7.99. Just a reminder, if you feel so inclined you can use the Amazon link box on the right column and help the site out a bit. Amazon has many Blu-rays & TV […]

So there’s a bit of sarcasm in the title, but what did this guy expect? He was editing their movies, taking out “bad” stuff, and then selling the DVD-R with zero copy protection. Whatever happened to parents just not letting their kids watch movies they weren’t old enough for? Would you really want your 8-year old to watch a non-bloody […]
