August 17, 2006

This November Cinemax will air all six “Star Wars” movies in HD for the first time. Lucasfilm and Time Warner (Cinemax’s parent company) have reportedly stuck a deal to air the films in full HD glory throughout the month (and presumably longer) of November.

As much as I complain about the selection of HD programming on Comcast and the lack of HD programming in general, every now and then something really exciting comes along. Discovery HD’s ‘Discovery Atlas’ would appear to be just such an event.

HD Alert, It’s in the hole!

March 7, 2006

As HDTV transfers of older movies become more commonplace, the need to announce their air dates lessens progressively. However, this one’s a true classic and well worth a mention.
No I’m not talking about Lawrence of Arabia or Gone With the Wind, nothing that high brow. I’m talking about the definitive Golf Comedy, Caddyshack.
