I bought this on Bluray because I had never seen it and read how amazing it looked. That is pretty accurate...it does look really good, especially for an older movie. However, the movie itself was just so-so. I've never seen it until now so it was great just to be able to watch Harrison Ford in his prime for the first time. And I must admit, it's fairly engaging. But, it's dated and little weird.
What's great about it: Semi-cool plot
What's not so great: Semi-cool plot, dated, corny, weird...

Francis Ford Coppola's Masterpiece features Marlon Brando in his Oscar-winning role as the patriarch of the Corleone family. Director Coppola paints a chilling portrait of the Sicilian clan's rise and near fall from power in America, masterfully balancing the story between the Corleone's family life and the ugly crime business in which they are engaged. Based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel and featuring career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert Duvall, this searing and brilliant film garnered ten Academy Award nominations, and won three including Best Picture of 1972.

I love these movies...mostly the first two but I can watch the third anytime as well. Some of the best acting you'll see in any movie, period. The first two movies are just one long classic scene...perfection.
If you buy the Bluray you'll be watching the best version of these movies yet. Don't expect to show off your high-def system with these because the source film is over 30 years old. However, you can tell that A LOT of time went into this latest production and most of the vintage look is intentional. In my opinion, the Godfather shouldn't be seen any other way.

What's great about it: Looks the best it's ever looked
What's not so great: James (cmon, that's funny...)

There are many true Metallica fans that consider this album the point at which they really started to decline...I think this album rocks and they began to delcine 30 seconds after they recorded it. Some of my favorite songs are on this one. This is actually the album that got me into Metallica. However, do yourself a favor and stop here...do not buy anything they've released since.
What's great about it: Most songs are fantastic
What's not so great: A little more "pop" than the last four
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just recently bought this collection for my daughter who is just getting into this trilogy. The video quality is very good for standard def. As a long time Star Wars fan, these are the only three movies as far as I'm concerend. The new ones are a mess, poorly acted, poorly written, POORLY DIRECTED, just a real shame. That makes the original trilogy seem that much better.
What's great about it: Good video quality, alot of extras
What's not so great: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is not a good album...I wanted it to be...but it's not. Here's why:
- James can't sing anymore...and if he can, he sure fooled me on this one. Terrible.
- Lars' new drum style doesn't work. But better than St. Anger.
- They need to write "tighter", more coherent songs...these are all over the place with poor exuses for "hooks" or refrains. Bad writing. Just not that good.
- Overall it sounds rushed and poorly produced...which happens to be the case on both accounts. Rick Rubin???? C'mon!!
This is also, in no way, a return to the "old" Metallica. I've been listening to Metallica for over 20 years and I've seen them live many many times. I've even met them. They started going south after they released the Black Album. A lot of true Metallica fans don't like that one either but I think it's worthy of the name. Load and Reload were not Metallica. To be honest, however, they are much better albums than either St. Anger or Death Magnetic, which is not to say that I would listen to any of them. My advice is to buy the first 5 (or six if you include Garage Days) and enjoy some of the best music...period. Metallica broke up in 1991 as far as I'm concerned.

I was told that because I have cable instead of sat or direct tv, that I should go with a projection tv instead of LCD or Plasma. Any truth in that?
No...not that I know of...and I'm pretty informed no this topic. I suppose it all depends on the picture quality of the TV...but projection is a distant third if you ask me...
You can, however, get alot more size for the money with a projection. I personally think they are inferior in too many ways though...

LG - 22" Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD Monitor
The TV, which otherwise looks very good, lack something that I want: an HDMI input. I have an XBOX 360, and I usually play with it through an HDMI cable, but I wanted to know if there are either any TV's in the price range of $0- $400 that are better, with more features; or if there is something I can hookup to get the same quality (1080p) of gaming.
I would highly recommend either the HP, Samsung or Dell PC monitors...they have very good image quality and can all be had for $400 some odd dollars...except maybe the Dell. You can probably upgrade to a 24 incher for this price with HDMI or DVI which is the same thing as HDMI, just need a converter plug. These should all be HDCP compliant so you can watch HD broadcasts and play PS3 or blue ray through them as well. I have an HP2408 and it is fantastic for personal use. I've also had a Samsung, also fantastic and I've read that the Dell is very good too. Hope this helps. Just another thought...if your LG has DVI then all you need is the HDMI to DVI converter tip and you're all set to go...not image loss DVI = HDMI quality.
