After 30 years, Manhattan is still a wonderful film. It's smart and serious, but still very funny. It's certainly not the best example of Blu-ray, but fans will appreciate this upgrade, despite its lack of special features.

Skyline is unbelievably bad. It's so bad that you actually feel worse for the characters who don't die off early in the movie than for those who meet an early demise. The film seems to rely completely on special effects, but can't deliver enough to...

High resolution, however, is nothing new to the LCoS—Liquid Crystal on Silicon—camp. The new Faroudja DILA1080pHD is built around JVC's latest "2K" D-ILA projector (2K is pro-speak for projectors offering 1920x1080 resolution—or, in the pro world,...

There are essentially two types of high-resolution audio: that which comes out of a high-end player and that which doesn't. Now, before I go on extolling the virtues of high-end players—and when I say high-end, I'm not talking about price alone—I...

You might choose the RDV-1050 purely for its exclusivity; after all, who would want to buy an ordinary black-box DVD player when you can own one that's so distinctive? Or you might select the RDV-1050 for its awesome sound. No matter your reason, you...
