It's important to point that out upfront because some people might be mislead by the term "upscaling."Will this DVD player magically transform your standard definition digital DVDs into high definition... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~491352460932 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:19:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_491352460932?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_490998042244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author HawgWyld - Back in the 1980s, 3-D movies made a bit of a comeback. Oddly, those movies were pretty much like the ones that inspired them in the first place -- low budget, blurry and generally terrible. Fortunately, the concept of 3-D movies has been embraced again... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~490998042244 Sun, 8 Nov 2009 04:09:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_490998042244?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_490767552132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author HawgWyld - I pretty much wrote off the Flaming Lips after that terrible At War with the Mystics album. I've been following this band since 1987 and saw the group peak with Clouds Taste Metallic in 1995, earn mainstream respectability with The Soft... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~490767552132 Fri, 6 Nov 2009 03:15:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_490767552132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_487679954564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author HawgWyld - Actually, the Squire by Fender Affinity Telecaster is a fantastic guitar for just about anyone who loves that classic, single-coil, nasaly sound for which the Telecaster is known.

Don't let the fact that this stuff is French fool you -- there's nothing terribly... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~482250362500 Sun, 23 Aug 2009 05:39:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_482250362500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_480438423172?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author HawgWyld - Magical Mystery Tour, which was originally released on television in 1967, is an absolutely horrible film.

Of course, you had people speculated that Bruce Dickinson, with Tattooed Millionaire, was signalling that he was done with Iron Maiden.
