 Panasonic
DVD-LV70 portable DVD player. We review Panasonic's new
$900 portable DVD player with a built-in 7-inch color LCD
display. This model is a slightly updated version of last
year's DVD-LV75. With specific "refinements" that
make this year's DVD-LV70 model $400 cheaper, you still get the same great
performance. We can easily justify adding the DVD-LV70 to our list of recommended DVD players.

Columbia
TriStar Superbit™
DVD Series
In an effort to appease home
theater enthusiasts, Columbia TriStar is experimenting with a new
series of "Superbit" DVDs. The "Superbit" DVD
collection will feature higher bit rates for the best possible
picture quality and Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound options.
The tradeoff will be no bonus features whatsoever, due to data
capacity limit of the DVD. The first set of titles will debut on
October 9 and include Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Fifth
Element, Air Force One, Desperado, and Johnny
Mnemonic. Read the press
release.

"It's How They Said It" - memorable movie quotes
"We tried so hard to
create a society that was equal, where there'd be nothing to envy
your neighbor. But there's always something to envy... In this
world, even a Soviet one, there will always be a rich and a poor.
Rich in gifts... poor in gifts. Rich in love... poor in love."
Joseph Fiennes as Danilov, a Russian political officer in
