Watch the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time trailer here
Posted on November 2, 2009 | No Comments
I'm surprised. The Prince of Persia movie doesn't look terrible. But we all know that Disney will likely destroy the franchise and the movie will flop, but at least the trailer doesn't look that bad. I think I'll watch it again.

Disney announces new DVD Killer technology
Posted on October 21, 2009 | No Comments
I love companies like Disney. They seem to think that just because they want something some way, it'll happen. Take for instance their latest scheme. Instead of allowing you to "buy" their movies on DVD, Blu-ray, or even VHS, they are going to allow you to buy access to their content.

Blockbuster On Demand coming to TiVo sometime today
Posted on October 13, 2009 | No Comments
TiVo users! Rejoice! Soon you'll have access to Blockbuster On Demand content as if Amazon, Netflix, Walt Disney Studios, and Jaman services weren't enough. I hear that sometime today, the service will go live on Series 2, 3, HD, and HD XL boxes but so far it isn't up on either my HD or HD XL units. Not that it matters all that much. I'm not going to use it anyway.

December 17: Tron Legacy in IMAX 3D
Posted on September 22, 2009 | No CommentsWhen in doubt, make a sequel. When in doubt in the year 2009, tack on 3D. That's the mentality of Hollywood these days—“remakes” are another in thing—and it looks like will be in theaters on December 17, 2010Tron: Legacy . Considering my only knowledge of Tron comes from that one Simpsons episode, I'm not going to pretend to be excited. But maybe some of you are!

Video Review: Zippity from Leapfrog, Disney Edition
Posted on September 11, 2009 | No CommentsMy own view as a parent is that this is a bit too complex for three year olds but Kasper, our reviewer here, seems to enjoy it. Basically you step on colors to make stuff happen on screen. Most of the games are absurdly simple but we all had fun watching Mickey and Minnie along with [...] -

What is Comcast going to do with all its money?
Posted on August 17, 2009 | No CommentsDo you have Comcast stock? Are you concerned with all the money the company has in its coffers? Yes, that sounds ludicrous, being concerned that a company has a lot of money on hand, but the fear is that Comcast could be ramping up for a big media buy, something no one wants to see.

MovieSD: Japan gets “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” on microSD
Posted on July 29, 2009 | No Comments
I don't know why, but microSD seems to suddenly become an alternative for distributing digital content lately, at least in Japan.
Two weeks ago, a Japanese entertainment company was the first in the world to start selling digital content on a microSD card (a rock band sold its songs, videos and lyrics on PDF on a profesionally marketed microSD card). Last week, Disney Japan announced it will release selected movies on this medium in November. And today, Warner Bros. Japan said it wants to be part of MovieSD [JP], too (a new brand for movies stored on - you guessed it - microSD cards).

Disney to ruin childhood memories by remaking Flight of the Navigator
Posted on May 26, 2009 | No CommentsCan I get a raise of hands of those that do not want Disney to remake Flight of the Navigator? Everyone? Good. Disney, please, please do not remake Flight of the Navigator. First off, the story and plot is kind of lame anyway, but more importantly, the movie played a pivotal role in many people’s youth. [...]
