| Age Group | 873 years old and cold in the swamps of Dagobah. |
| Video Likes | Good detail in shadows. Original aspect ratio. Cut scenes and commentaries. |
| Video Dislikes | Motion trails (low datarate) and sharpening/edge enhancement which creates aliasing. Releases not in Original Aspect Ratio. Pan and scan. NTSC. |
| Audio Likes | High bit rates. Appropriate use of surrounds. |
| Audio Dislikes | Cheesy music and music rooted in the time it was made not appropriate for period of movie or removed from a period. Low bit rates. Innappropriate use of surrounds. |
| Favourite DVDs | Gladiator, Ben Hur, Alien, Fifth Element, Lord of the Rings, Moulin Rouge, Nightmare before Christmas, North by Northwest, The Sopranos, Toy Story, JFK, Shakespeare in Love, L.A. Confidential, The Doors. |

| Most Eagerly Awaited DVDs | Blade Runner Special Edition |
| Titanic | I like it. |
| The Matrix | Great design and narrative evolution. |
| Terminator 2 | Great action film on first viewing, but a bit cliched on subsequent viewings. It is not dating well. |
| Star Wars | Love it. Shame about the Special edition edits. |
| Godzilla | Not as bad as everyone made out when it was first released. Still not great though. Story should have finished when they killed the monster. |
| Independence Day | Quickly satisfies on a junk food level. But watching it for more than half an hour hurts the psyche. The flag waving, American patriotism and stupid climax, ultimately make it a waste of 2 hours. |
