Humble pie rarely tastes as sweet as it did this afternoon at my local megaplex, Avatar was incredible

Blu-ray Review: Lie to Me Season One

B.Greenway — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 13:03:06 +0000

Lie to Me season one on Blu-ray was my first look at a high definition television series on Blu-ray, I didn’t see the first season as it aired but I was curious to see what TV on Blu-ray had to offer.

CEDIA 2009 Wrap-Up

B.Greenway — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 21:49:24 +0000

Overall CEDIA 2009 was a great show this year, of course I'm looking forward to the size/shape of years gone prior but all in good time.

CEDIA 2009 Preview

B.Greenway — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 23:28:09 +0000

The 20th annual CEDIA Expo (Atlanta September 9-13) may be our first look at some of the biggest CE introductions of 2010, or second looks at products introduced in years past, polished off with a few revisions. The cynic in me suspects the latter, but I'm ready and willing to be pleasantly surprised.

Blu-ray Review: Watchmen Director’s Cut

B.Greenway — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:48:40 +0000

Without a doubt Watchmen on Blu-ray has been one of my most anticipated titles of 2009. What's so special about Watchmen you ask? Aside from some of the most engaging characters to ever grace a graphic novel, Alan Moore's 12 part series takes place in an alternate universe where super-heroes helped the U.S. win the Vietnam War, while later the United States and the Soviet Union find themselves at the brink of nuclear war. It’s this scenario that fuels the majority of the films plot line.

Boxee Review

B.Greenway — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:19:47 +0000

Right off the bat Boxee has a different feel to it. The menu system is smooth and once you shed off the trappings of conventional media centers and adjust to Boxee's way of doing things, it starts to feel intuitive. Boxee's a lot to take in early on which is a bit surprising given how spartan the interface appears. Notice I said appears because once you dive in a little deeper you'll quickly see there are a ton of settings and features to tweak should you wish.

Blu-ray Statistics, the Other Side of the Coin

B.Greenway — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:01:59 +0000

If you haven’t had a chance to read the latest Harris Poll on HDTV and Blu-ray uptake among U.S. consumers, it might be quite the eye opener (Head’s up, PDF link). But before we get into some of those numbers, keep in mind that just like the data used by public relation firms, poll’s can be misleading as well.

Blu-ray Review: Indecent Proposal

B.Greenway — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 22:25:33 +0000

Plot: Strip away all the really, really good looking people (copyright Zoolander) and at its core, Indecent Proposal is a story of love, trust and ultimately regret. Take one young, attractive couple, mix in some financial problems, add a dash of aging billionaire playboy looking for love and you get the gist of the film; an indecent proposal indeed.

Last One Out Turn Off the Lights

This Friday marks the end of analog television (knock on wood) yet according to CNET news some 2.8 million people aren’t ready.

Blu-ray Review: Pinocchio

B.Greenway — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 04:54:49 +0000

"A lie keeps growing and growing, until it’s as plain as the nose on your face,” Evelyn Venable as the Blue Fairy. It was my intention to buy all the Disney classics on Blu-ray based solely on how good a job they did with 'Sleeping Beauty'. Although I have to admit to being a little skeptical that another animated film could be as impressive as 'Beauty', but of course I'm more than willing to give it a go.

Knocked out by Natal

B.Greenway — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 22:08:06 +0000

So again, what does Natal have to do with home theater? A better question might be, what doesn’t it have to do with home theater? Look past the gaming applications and think about the core technologies, voice recognition, this ones simple, “start movie”, “dim lights”, “next video”, so on and so on.

Blu-ray Review: Doubt

B.Greenway — Thu, 28 May 2009 15:30:58 +0000

Set in the sixties, Doubt takes place in a catholic parish in the Bronx, New York. The lead role is played Philip Seymore Hoffman who is compelling as always. From the first time "Donald" and "Father Flynn" met on-screen I felt myself cringing in fear of what might be depicted, a strong indicator of how well the groundwork had been laid for the events to come.

Movie Posters with a Twist

B.Greenway — Sun, 24 May 2009 23:06:29 +0000

The movie posters are manufactured by Todd McFarlane’s SPAWN toys, but before you start eyeing those old flat, two dimensional movie posters on your wall I should warn you; these “posters” aren’t posters as much as table-top decorations.
