ReQuest's series of music servers takes that idea to an entirely different level by allowing you to store vast quantities of music with varying levels of compression (or none at all). Access to your server can be from many locations including your main theater, in every room of your home via a distributed audio system or even over the Internet via an IP address login.

Unlike the most famous movie version, the 1925 Universal release featuring one of Lon Chaney�s most astounding makeups, Webber and his lyricist Charles Hart strongly emphasized the baroque romanticism of the story, and created one of the biggest hits in theatrical history. The movie has given a sumptuous production, shot on lavish, intricate sets, and is suffused in a tone of romantic agony. Those who loved it on the stage will almost certainly love it on screen; the rest of us may have other reactions. For all its florid, broad-gesture romanticism, for all the tender anguish of the Phantom, for all the young love elements of Christine and Raoul, the movie fails to engage us emotionally. We watch what�s going on with interest�the story may be slightly silly, but it is interesting. In terms of sheer stagecraft, the picture is dynamite, even though in the one area you�d expect a movie based on Laroux�s novel to succeed, this �Phantom� fails: the makeup.

Revolution Home Theater Featured DVD Reviews Read More Joel Schumacher DVD Reviews on RHT... Phone Booth Film and TV writers have a standard joke when they are confronted with requests for what they consider unreasonable cuts in their action/thriller scripts: �Set it in a phone booth.� The expression is not heard so often nowadays, probably less because there are fewer unreasonable requests from producers and studio executives than because there are fewer phone booths (a fact duly noted in the film). However, writer Larry Cohen has found a way to actually set most of the brisk 81-minute �Phone Booth� in the title location. Happily, there turns out to be more to his script and the movie than simply proving such a feat can be accomplished. �Phone Booth� actually feels something like a segment of a TV anthology drama � think �Twilight Zone� with the supernatural element removed and big-studio production values (except, of course, for changes of location) added.

It�s difficult enough to get films made that actually are morally ambiguous and thought-provoking. It�s got to be even tougher to make something like this, where it gradually becomes clear that the message the filmmakers have in mind is not the one that�s coming across. In �Falling Down,� Michael Douglas plays Bill Foster, a white-collar worker who, stuck in L.A. freeway gridlock one morning, loses it. He stomps out of his car and heads into a neighborhood liquor store. He wants to buy a can of soda for 50 cents, reckoning that he can use the change to make a phone call. The problem is that the price of the soda is 85 cents, which Foster feels is exorbitant and also won�t leave him enough change for the phone call. Foster responds first by verbally abusing the shopkeeper, who is Korean, for his imperfect English pronunciation and grammar.
