Movies and Television

I love a lot of different forms of entertainment. Movies are one of my favorites. Here's a little info on our current setup:
We use a high quality video projector to display movies, video games, and (occasionally) PC. Dad built a rack for the projector that hangs down from the ceiling, and all the wires are run through the ceiling to DVD player/VCR, DVD recorder, Dish, and nearly all of my video game consoles. We have a 97" (that's 97 inches diagonal) screen, and I watch nearly all movies and a lot of television using the video projector. It is an absolutely wonderful home theater setup. All audio goes through Bose 301 speakers. These speakers are some of the best and are wonderful for concert DVD's, epic movies, and even video games... It sounds awesome to run the original Nintendo Entertainment System through Bose speakers! :-D Of course, you can't tell that I'm a bit of a nerd.

The ideal way to view my DVD collection is by clicking HERE! There you will find a version of my collection that is ALWAYS complete and accurate. The site is created using my DVD collection software, DVD Profiler. It is a really awesome piece of software, and I highly recommend it if you collect DVD's. Included on the site are the complete collection list, info on most of the DVD's (including credits and plotlines), and cover photos. Below you will find a text only list of my DVD collection. (Yes, it should be up to date.) Below my collection list you will find a list of movies I recall seeing at the theatre. You might also find a few mini-reviews of movies I've watched recently.
