CEPro has a great article on why you should skip the format war between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray video formats. According to them, the main reasons to skip the format war include:

The end of DRM

HD Downloads are here, skip buying a player

More HD channels are coming, especially from DirecTV

Physical media is going the way of the [...]

Well now, it seems that we can expect to see more super heroes coming to the silver screen. But this time it will not a web-head or the Fantastic Four. No, this time we will see the one and only Capt. America! coming out of the comic books and into the theaters!

I spent a good part of my wayward youth watching the Late Show, the
Late, Late Show and the Late, Late, Late Show. Toss in a couple of
Creature Double Features and I was a happy camper.
Classic B-Movies were produced quickly and with slim budgets. Unlike
many special effect whiz-bangs of today, B-Movies had plots. They may
not [...]

I’ve always been a movie junkie, watching several movies every week across a wide range of genres. In 2004, my movie viewing habits underwent a dramatic shift. I continue to watch tons of movies, but I’m finding the ones I like best are no longer originating with the major Hollywood studios. My top 5 picks [...]

This movie recounts the story of several people and their association with a department store called Huckabees. It is an odd yet wonderful movie that tells the interconnected tales of a crusader against suburban sprawl, a petroleum-phobic fireman, a smooth-talking executive and his girlfriend, and an agency of existential detectives.

I don’t intend to do too many movie reviews, however, I can’t help but point out one surprisingly damned good movie that has gone virtually unnoticed. Man on Fire stars Denzel Washington, Christopher Walken, and Dakota Fanning in a superbly-written Tony Scott action film. It was released on DVD the other day and, after seeing [...]

Confusing and ultimately unsatisfying, “Vanity Fair” begins well enough. The story starts with a young girl, Becky Sharp, in the painting studio of her father. She drives a hard bargain with a slumlord who comes to her father’s painting studio to purchase a portrait of her mother. This early setup shows the qualities [...]

Interspersing vividly surreal moments with achingly real ones, Garden State composes a lyric poem about the nature of home.

We all saw it. In fact, it’s still playing, even in IMAX and it’s available for preorder as we speak. Spider-Man 2 will be released in WS/FS 2-Disc DVDs, a gift set, and a Superbit edition. Plus two VHS version (english and spanish dubs), but really, who buys those? Here’s a [...]

What appears at first glance to be merely a one-and-a-half-hour
commercial for White Castle hamburgers is a funny, surprising road
trip movie, with both an external and an internal journey taken by the
main characters. It’s also damned funny.
Spoilers follow!
Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) are a couple of stoners who
have graduated college in the not-too-distant past. [...]

Funny, surprising, action-packed, and only slightly predictable,
Collateral boasts a likable cast, including the bad guy. Can you
imagine Tom Cruise playing a real bad guy? Completely evil and
irredeemable? Neither can Cruise, as this movie shows.
A thin premise, stretched pretty far, carries this film. Cruise’s
character Vincent uses taxi drivers to drive him to various stops
while he kills [...]
