Review title: Another Buggy Combo HD DVD Set Product review: I'd love to know what these disks look like in HD DVD, except my Toshiba HD-XA2 player won't recognize them as HD DVDs! First there were the problems with "The Good Shepherd", "Children of Men", and "Smokin' Aces" Universal DVD/HD DVD Combo Disks. Toshiba blamed it on faulty disks, but oddly enough they released Firmware version 1.6 to fix the "not correct DVD format" problem.Now I'm getting the same errors with my Ultimate Matrix disks! Sounds to me like it's not a disk issue, but a Toshiba HD DVD player issue. In other words, if you own any HD DVD player other than the MS Xbox 360 HD DVD player -- Toshiba makes every other player -- keep in mind the adage "CAVEAT EMPTOR".IMHO, either wait for Toshiba to address future firmware issues in a timely manner, or wait for these titles to be released on Blu-ray.

Review title: Rock Memories Product review: I'm giving the Rock Almanac: Top 20 American and British Singles and Albums of the '50s, '60s, and 70s five stars because it is a great trip down memory lane. I used to check this book out of the local library for years when I was a kid. The book compiles a listing of all artists who hit both the UK & American singles and albums charts from 1964-1973 and the chart position of those songs and albums.

Review title: An unjust God allowed Everquest to be... Product review: I bought Everquest under the delusion that I would be connected to a wonderful world. Well it was real looking and some of the people were really nice, but...THERE IS NOTHING TO DO. You spend all of your time running around killing bats, and pumas. If you even manage to get to level 13, you have to wait till level 25 to do a quest. Anyone who knows anything will tell you that takes a long time. I have a pretty good attention span but even I can't take just killing creatures for months. I needed a plot or a goal. I wanted quests for God's sake, quests. Anyway, I do not recomend this game. May God have mercy on those who are stuck with this game.

Review title: Amazingly Pointless to Watch--DON'T BUY OR RENT! Product review: On the movie portion of the disc: This movie falls into the typical realm of all-star cast to cover what is really lacking. This time around, its a plot (aka purpose). The movie takes one on a shallow ride--literally--of look-what-we-can-do graphics. It does attempt to go "deeper" plot-wise, particularly by throwing in a similarity to Wizard of Oz at one point in the movie, but by the end of nearly two hours, we reach an anticlimax.On the collector's edition portion of the disc: Aside from commentary, the collector's edition includes the original 6-minute short of Sky Captain, bloopers, and deleted scenes, including one that should have been left in the movie. Let's just say the scene fills in a part of the story-line transition. Oh well...For Angelina Jolie fans: she did not disappoint--she just didn't have much of a role, either, contrary to what the DVD cover might indicate.
