Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Pretty sad, isn't it.

Yes, what a dismal bunch of discs they have to offer "free." I couldn't find any that I wanted to watch once, let alone own. That player sold for as low as $172 over the Thanksgiving holiday. It will be back there again. For me the only reason to buy it is for renting discs, and at that price it's hard to go wrong. It will be back down before long.

The most surprising discovery for me since buying a HD TV set is finding all the superb old movies being shown in HD over Dishnetwork. Each year I find fewer and fewer new releases that interest me, but there seems to a very large number of great films from the past being transferred to HD for broadcast, but not available on discs yet, if ever. I just saw a very fine Japanese movie starring Mifune in an excellent HD transfer that I had never heard of before. I don't think it was even released in the US.
