Anyone know how to order cards from American Greetings?

Okay, I signed up for American Greetings to get the flooz and the 6 (or was it 10?) free *paper* cards.

The only problem is I'm trying to get the cards now and I can't figure out how to do it. The...

Yeah, mine screws up at the layer switch too. This is the first time this has happened with any non-rented DVD, but I will try cleaning it (even though it's brand new) and playing it again...

I'm considering getting a projection TV from 800.com, since it has that 30% off deal going right now (10% + 20% MSN). Here is their selection:

As long as you're not a nut for historical accuracy, you should find this to be a very entertaining film. The DVD is great, too, with deleted scenes (some of which are worthwhile and should have been...

I thought it was an okay flick. I'm sort of on the fence whether or not to buy it. If I can get it for under $10, I MIGHT pick it up. If it's the unrated version (as opposed to the theatrical...

The picture for this movie is pretty damn good considering the source material. For example, the underwater scene at the end looks like it was filmed last year. Very nice. The sound (5.1) is also...

As ke493 mentioned, it's not a flipper. It is 2-sided with widescreen and pan 'n scan versions on either side. No extras.

As for the audio and video, well, it was a drama made in the 70s, so don't...

I had not heard of this film when it came out in the theater, but lately I seem to be hearing it's a really great film, in the same line as the Evil Dead movies (ie horror/comedy).

Any opinions?

It's a strange film, that's for sure. I don't think I had a problem with the Cruise character's believability so much as I had a problem with Kidman's acting, or lack thereof. The music was also...

Well, imdb.com lists the correct aspect ratio as 2.35. So, assuming that is correct, then the DVD is correct because it's in 2.35.

BTW, this is a stunning DVD. Silverado has never looked (or...

I wouldn't say it's the greatest sound or video but the sound is remixed (5.1 digital) and packs a pretty good punch and the video, while not perfect, looks infinitely better than my VHS copy--MUCH...

Regarding the ending, if you felt it was unnatural or stupid, maybe that's because it wasn't the original ending of the film. In the original ending, Saffron lives. But when they test-screened the...

Well, Stargate the movie isn't exactly a great film, in my opinion. It's a Devlin/Emmerich film, which means that a great idea is going to be inflicted with a great injustice. But it's not a BAD film...

Yeah, I'm not really sure why anyone would ask NOW if a movie is any good. If it sucked when it came out in the theater, it's still going to suck on video (although I have noticed a certain degree of...

I thought the movie was pretty bad. Catherine Zeta-Jones sucking up to Sean Connery was only slightly more believable than Sharon Stone pining over Dustin Hoffman in Sphere. In other words, no...

I haven't seen it, but based on the horrible trailer and the overwhelmingly bad reviews, I would avoid at all costs. And I'll watch just about anything with Denise Richards in it.

I got mine last week and, just to confirm what Rayman said, it's the same version as before, as far as I can tell: same commentary, same sound (2.0), same picture (2.35 aspect ratio).

That's funny. I didn't really notice much artifacting, but the transfer did seem pretty dark to me. But then, it's a dark movie. I actually thought it looked pretty good (I don't have a widescreen...
