For a while now Pioneer plasma televisions have been the best direct view displays on the market. They have always been the most accurate and feature laden televisions around. But, it's final, Pioneer is officially calling it quits. Apparently they're doing something in the regarding the DVD biz in association with Sharp. I'm sad to see them go, not that I could afford one anyway, they were just nice to look at in-store.VIA[engadg...

Okay, so maybe that's not so surprising considering both Ratatouille and the Incredibles both used this convention. I'm starting to notice a trend. Also, the fanboys from Comic-Con report that the Michael Giacchino's temp score is simply amazing. I can't wait. By now descriptions are starting to flood the Internet from the 50+ minute screening from Comic-Con. It's been described as a tear-jerker and the first half of this film sounds absolutely amazing.While the footage of Carl's house taking off from the ground in the trailer looks great, the entire unedited scene just looks amazing as thousands of balloons float from...

Yup, I'm still at it. But not without stumbling fumbling and falling flat on my face. Find out what perturbed me about my latest play session and some suggestions I have for the designers in my latest diary installment. You can read about it here. P.S.

Yes, I'll admit I was an HDDVD fan-boy. I wasn't exactly thrilled when Blu-Ray won. Who wants a movie studio exlcusively distributing content anyway? But, I was glad that war was over, and that consumers everywhere had decided on the successor to the middle-aged DVD format. But this was before Hulu was big, and before I-Tunes Video and Netflix gained any sort of footing. And now with success of the 'watch instantly' Xbox 360 exclusive Netflix service, I'm forced to ask the question is an optical drive really all that necessary? Let's...

In is article Curious Cases David Denby reexamines the movie drought that was the year 2008. I've thought about this before, and I think we were spoiled by 2006 and 2007 movies like There We Be Blood, Children of Men, No Country For Old Men and Juno. These are movies that as Denby puts it, were simply hair raising. Anyway it's a good read, check it out he...

Like what you see? You should, because this is a photo of the legendary Jude Law in a movie called Rave directed by Sally Potter.

As it stands, I'm always the last to know, so when I heard about this movie I figured everyone must be talking about it already. Not true. It's gotten very little hype, which to me is outrageous. Synopsis is as follows:In TOKYO!, three visionary directors come together for an omnibus triptych examining the nature of one unforgettable city as it’s shaped by the disparate people who live, work (and run amok) inside an enormous, constantly evolving, densely populated Japanese megalopolis — the ravishing and inimitable Tokyo. In the tradition of such films as NEW YORK STORIES, NIGHT ON EARTH, PARIS JE T’AIME and its forthcoming...
