Four more movies added to DVD collection.

The movies I had lent to my parents have been returned so I can now add them to my DVD/Home Theater page. They are:

In addition to the front DVD cover, I have also included a trailer.  I will admit that some of the trailers with these last eight additions are not as good as some of the previous ones; however, the process took much less time and effort as I just downloaded existing flash trailers I found on the IMDb site versus making my own from better quality source material. I might see if I can find a better source to use as these seem to be 25fps and if memory serves the Pathfinder one has an audio problem in the middle of it. Anyway, while I was at it, I also updated some of the content on my DVD/Home Theater page.

Four movies added to DVD collection.

As I had mentioned previously, I’ve purchased some new DVDs and here’s four of them that I’ve added to my DVD/Home Theater page:

I have some additional movies left that I need to add; however, those are currently being borrowed by my folks; thus, I don’t have the DVD covers I can scan in at the moment.  All of these movies have a trailer available for viewing as well. Cloverfield and National Treasure I bought new. Delta Farce and Flags of Our Fathers I bought as part of a 4 for $20 deal of previously viewed movies at Block Buster.

Samsung LN52A650 52″ Widescreen 1080p LCD HDTV added to Home Theater

Samsung_LN52A650Well, after many years of wanting to get a widescreen TV, I finally bought myself one! It is a Samsung 52″ 1080p LCD HDTV, model LN52A650. I’ve had it about a month and love it! As it turns out, according to the AVS Forum, it is one of the better models to get. Needless to say I’ve been watching a lot of movies on it lately. I am actually behind on adding movies that I’ve bought to my website. I’ll get around to adding those later.

Star Wars III DVD ImageI currently have my Denon DVD-2200 DVD player and Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8240HDC DVR cable box connected to my Denon AVR-3806 A/V receiver, via component cables which are then connected to the TV via component cables. On the right is an image from my DVD player I took while watch Star Wars Episode III.

I have learned much concerning HDTV since purchasing this and following the AVS Forums and will most likely write another article concerning what I have learned about all this HDTV business. 🙂


In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale added to DVD movie collection

After a few days of not being able to rent it, I decided on an impulse to buy In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale to add to my DVD collection. There are a number of corny moments and some weak acting in the movie by some, but, still, wasn’t too bad. I also made flash video trailer that you can view on the page. I actually created the page on the 2nd but I’ve been at my folks since then so haven’t been in a position to write this blurb on my blog about it. 🙂

Beowulf: The Director’s Cut added to DVD Movie Collection!

I actually bought Beowulf: The Director’s Cut back on March 6th or so but just now getting around to adding it to my website here. I had not seen it in the theater and actually did not realize it was completely done in CGI with actor driver motion capture performances. They did a really good job. If you haven’t seen it, I did put a flash video trailer on the page.
