As much as we all want a $1,500,000 media room in our homes, most of us aren�t capable of footing the bill. This series is designed to get you thinking about all of the elements you need to make your $5,000 (and up) home theater perform like a set-up costing many, many times more than your investment. Picking and Preparing Your Room For most AV enthusiasts, it seems pretty obvious which room your theater should go in, but before you get too far into the project, take a second to think about who uses your theater and where they use it the most. If you have a large family and they watch lots of TV or movies, you will want to pick a high-traffic area of your house. If you are building an escape to enjoy your music and HDTV movies that is more for you alone, you might consider a basement or converting an extra bedroom. One key element in deciding which room to use is picking a room that can be made pitch dark if needed. If there are skylights in your living room, expect your TV picture to look washed out during the day. If you are never home during the day, then it isn�t that much of an issue. The goal is to get you thinking about how you will use your system before you start buying gear.

The great Hayao Miyazaki of �Princess Mononoke� and �Spirited Away� is a little off his game with �Howl�s Moving Castle.� It�s still extremely intelligent, beautifully styled, full of fascinating details and has the now-traditional spunky Miyazaki heroine. But it isn�t as amazing and engrossing as most of his earlier films; it stretches its somewhat thin story over a too-long running time. It�s just not as gripping as the best of his earlier films, not as filled with astonishing invention. But it�s still very good, very much worth seeing, and utterly unlike American animated movies, CGI or hand-drawn. When it was released in Japan last year, it soon became the third biggest grossing movie in Japanese cinema history, topped only by �Titanic� and Miyazaki�s own �Spirited Away.� Click below to read the full review. http://www.revolutionhometheater.com/movies/revs/howlsmovingcastle.shtml Meridian Leader in Digital Home Theater Technology, Adds Powerful New Room Correction System First to identify jitter, first to offer an audiophile CD player, and first with a digital surround processor, Meridian Audio is the acknowledged leader in digital home theater technology.

Revolution Home Theater Featured DVD Reviews Read Two More Billy Crystal DVD Reviews on RHT... Monsters Inc. Without fail, year after year, Disney puts out great movies for kids and for adults who are kids at heart. "Monsters, Inc." is another one of those heart-warming and fun cinematic experiences. Joined by Pixar for this new film, Disney succeeds in delivering an absolute gem of computer graphic storytelling, just as the Disney/Pixar pairing did with the "Toy Story" movies. Sully (voiced by John Goodman) and Mike (voiced by Billy Crystal) are two hard-working monsters trying to get scream power from kids in the human world by frightening them while they are sleeping. The monster world is totally dependent on the power of these captured screams. The monsters also have their own fears: the primary one is that a human child will one day get loose in their world and destroy everything. Of course, during the movie, a human child does get loose in the monster kingdom...

The script by Crystal & Lowell Ganz & Babaloo Mandel is full of witty one-liners, as befites their individual and joint writing pedigrees, but what distinguishes this love story from its peers is the buoyant balance director Crystal and his cast find between playfulness and poignancy. The stumbling blocks to happiness here are not unlikely misunderstandings but all too common conflicts that are understood only too well. Mickey (Crystal) is a professional basketball referee, deeply set in his ways, devoted to his work and thoroughly uncompromising. However, when he has to travel to Paris...
