Not to turn this into "rag on Aaron" day, but I've noticed that the bold 'Extras' and 'Menus' headers in his reviews often include two sets of colons. He also tends to use "full_frame" instead of "full-frame", but that seems to be intentional.
"full_frame" or "full_screen":

A couple other minor ones:

<a href="http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=2030">Two Girls and A Guy</a> (NC_17 instead of NC-17)
Again, this isn't to make it sound as if I'm complaining about Aaron's work, as I think he's a solid writer and brings far more to DVD Talk than any other single reviewer...

When we updated to the new server ... our highest rating changed.
It used to be called DVD Talk Collector Series and now it's DVD Talk Collector's Series. Collector became possessive. Is there a reason for this? Other references on the site still use "Collector Series."

Because I jotted down the ratings in the database off the top of my head. I changed it to the way it was before and edited four reviews of mine that used the phrase "collector's series".
There are a handful of Chris Hughes reviews that use the phrase as well. I don't feel comfortable editing other people's reviews, so I'll leave that to him.
