Worst movie I actually saw this year was on a DVD, "BE COOL". Oh my god it was bad. I watch about 200-300 movies a year on DVD/HDTV and this was beyond bad.

RECORD your "last viewed" dates in a file!

One a day is going crazy? I have often watched 3 DVDs in one sitting!
I tend to watch a movie twice when I first get it and then I shelve it for a few years. I have found time and time again that if...

I buy or get the anamorphic whenever possible but to "get rid of" a DVD movie just because its letterboxed 4:3 format is absurd in my opinion. I'd rather have the non-anamorphic DVD of a movie I like...
