DS-01

Just a quick note to let you all know DVD reviews are being added to the Schlockmania reper­toire.  Each DVD review will con­tain a brief dis­cus­sion of trans­fer qual­ity, notes on the ver­sion of the film used for the disc (if applic­a­ble) and a sub­jec­tive response to any spe­cial fea­tures the disc/set in ques­tion might have.  All DVD reviews will be pref­aced with “Digi-Schlock” in the title and will be acces­si­ble in the Schlock-Optic sec­tion (and also via the Digi-Schlock “tag”).

Your Humble Reviewer is not a first-rank technophile so don’t expect DVD-Beaver-style analy­sis — but he has reviewed DVD’s in the past for All Movie Guide and AVManiacs so he’s famil­iar with the basic require­ments.  These entries will be done in the spirit of offer­ing a fan-level con­sumer report.  If the disc being dealt with involves com­plex tech­ni­cal issues, the review will also point you towards reviews by those more skilled in such matters.

In any event, the hope is that these peri­odic DVD-minded scrib­blings will give you a lit­tle extra ammu­ni­tion when con­sid­er­ing what disc to buy next.

Happy read­ing (and happy viewing),

Y.H.R.
