Revolution Home Theater Film Review
Spider-Man 2 Reviewed by Bill Warren
Rating: Four-and-a-Half Stars
Two years ago, �Spider-Man� was the most eagerly-anticipated movie of the summer. It
turned out to be terrific, and was a smash hit the world over. �Spider-Man 2� is even
better, and very likely will be an even greater success. This is so widely expected
that other studios have moved their films out of conflict with �Spidey 2.�
The filmmakers took a bold approach; instead of emphasizing the action sequences and
expanding on them, they have increased the emphasis on the characters. Of course
there still is plenty of great action scenes with Spidey pitted against one of his
most memorable foes from the comics, Doctor Octopus. There has never been a movie
creature quite like Doctor Octopus: a man-sized creature moving in air with tentacles.
Doc Ock is awesome.

NAD PowerDrive - So smart, it knows what your speakers are thinking
They say that knowledge is power. So when it comes to reacting to the constantly
fluctuating power needs of today's loudspeakers, an A/V receiver has to be very smart
indeed. Most A/V receivers fail the test and you hear distortion. NAD's dual-rail
power supply knows when your speakers need extra help to deliver clean, undistorted
-sound. The result is honor roll performance for your movies and music. Visit your
nearest NAD dealer or do your homework at

Revolution Home Theater Featured DVD Reviews
Spider-Man
Reaching the home screen in an added-value-packed two-disc edition, �Spider-Man� is an
appealing, appreciative rendering of the popular comic book character, with plenty of
filmmaking pizzazz bolstering the action and the angst. Director Sam Raimi, probably
the ideal choice for this project given both his zesty style and his love of the Stan
Lee/Steve Ditko source material, finds a rather magical middle ground between
heightened drama and straight emotion in this superhero original tale.
Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is a shy, brainy, unpopular high school nerd being raised
by his loving Uncle Ben (Cliff Robertson) and Aunt May (Rosemary Harris) when we meet
him. Peter has an unspoken lifelong love for classmate and neighbor Mary Jane Watson
(Kirsten Dunst) and is best friends with wealthy Harry Osborn (James Franco), son of
ambition industrialist Norman Osborn (Willem Dafoe). Then Peter is bitten by a
genetically-spliced spider and overnight, his muscles, senses and reflexes are
miraculously enhanced; he discovers that he also has the ability to shoot webbing from
his wrists. Peter enjoys playing with his newfound powers until tragedy strikes and
he resolves to fight crime anonymously. Meanwhile, Norman goes through a few changes
of his own and soon Manhattan is menaced by the mysterious, maniacal Green Goblin...

X-Men
Here�s a pretty solid test of a film�s entertainment value � watch
it on DVD when it�s still fresh in your mind from theatrical viewing and see how it
holds up. If it engrosses you all over again, it�s a keeper.
Such is the case with �X-Men,� a huge hit when it was released in theatres this
summer. One doesn�t need to be familiar with the enduring Marvel Comics series it�s
based on to enjoy it. �X-Men� is more than vigorous enough to earn its action stripes,
but also thoughtful enough to satisfy those who want plant and characterization along
with their explosions.
During the Holocaust, a young boy unleashes a magnetic storm at the gates of a
concentration camp. Flash forward to the near future, when approximately one in 10
children born has some form of mutation that usually manifests in adolescence. The
mutants usually (although not always) look like normal humans but have some very
peculiar abilities, which fascinate some and horrify others. Senator Kelley (Bruce
Davison) wants all mutants registered and rounded up. On the mutant side, the
brilliant but embittered Magneto (Ian McKellen), the grown version of the child we�ve
met in the prologue, has determined that ordinary humans are a threat to his kind that
must be neutralized by any means necessary. Somewhere in the middle is Professor
Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), who has exceptional powers of telepathy and
telekinesis.
