Weekend Movies: The Calm Before the Summer Storm

Some time back, I detailed the installation of a Lumagen Radiance video processor into my home theater system. Despite a difficult learning curve regarding its complicated set-up (which I still find a little frustrating, to be hon...
Once again, ‘The Hunger Games’ walked away with the weekend box office crown. The film has finished in first place for four consecutive weekends. The last movie to perform this well was 2010’s ‘Avatar‘...
James Cameron’s ‘Titanic’ sailed back onto theater screens last week sporting a fresh 3D makeover. This follows last year’s very successful run of ‘The Lion King 3D’. If similar projects continu...

For the record, I hated the ‘Clash of the Titans‘ remake. The only thing worse than its acting was its awful screenplay. To this day, it also remains the worst example of post-conversion 3D. In fact, the 3D was so bad ...
It’s been over two years since the rollout of the new generation of 3D home theater, yet 3D fans still suffer a relative lack of content to play on their 3D HDTVs and projectors. New Blu-ray 3D releases seem to trickle out a...
