SNL 01-31-09: MacGruber Commercial??
Home Theater Forum &bull Aug 11, 2010
I starting recording the first 30 minutes of SNL last Saturday night so I could flip through the commericals as I watched it...halfway through the show, when it went to commercial, the show seemed to come back rather quickly. Did I click through all of the commercials that fast? Hmmmm, maybe I was just tired...the MacGruber skit came back on (the one with all the Pepsi references) and I laughed, but then was confused (and angry) when it went back to commercial. I thought "Oh great, this is the sign of the times; either SNL just doesn't… Full Story »

Long Live the King
Home Theater Magazine &bull Aug 3, 2010
There's much to admire about Larry King, not the least of which is his longevity-he began broadcasting his show via Pony Express during the Buchanan administration. There's also the fact that he has achieved so much despite his strong resemblance to a large, partially shaved rodent. Went to see Legs Diamond on Broadway, accompanied by former Match Game host Gene Rayburn: Man, Peter Allen looks great in a tux!" And so,… Full Story »

HTF Blu-ray Review: Forbidden World

Finally, a great-sounding table radio
The Audiophiliac on CNET &bull Jul 9, 2010
That's no longer true now that some radios come jazzed up with iPod-iPhone docks, CD players, Internet radios, and all sorts of features. But they still sound like table radios--even the ones featured in full-page ads in magazines and newspapers that sell for $349 or more. The sound isn't bad, just inoffensive, and they make do with fake stereo. True, they may sport two speakers, but since the radios are just 15 or so inches wide, stereo imaging isn't part of the plan. Enter the Cue Radio Model r1 Outlaw Audio Signature Edition; it's a table radio… Full Story »

Despicable Me (2010)
Audio Video Revolution News and Reviews &bull Jul 9, 2010
I'll admit, prior to seeing Despicable Me, I was certain that this was going to be a failure of Shrek 3-like proportions. The advertisements were everywhere, and not just in the past few weeks. For months on end, I have been subjected to ad after ad after ad for Despicable Me, and despite this, I still had no clue as to what the movie was actually about. Every trailer and TV spot seemed to promote an entirely different movie. Was it about a criminal mastermind, the world's worst supervillain, or a lonely curmudgeon taking in three orphans?

BD-Live Under Scrutiny
Home Theater Magazine &bull Jul 6, 2010
In May of 2009, Home Theater ran an article titled "BD-Live in Action" with an overview of the Internet features available on Blu-ray. Even though that piece was written a good three years into the high-def format's life, the BD-Live aspect was still very much in its formative stages. Many of the Internet features available at that time were gimmicks or filler material. Few could be classified as essential to the experience of owning a Blu-ray Disc. The article concluded with the statement, "We've only started to see the building blocks of BD-Live's potential.… Full Story »
