Contraband (2012) DVD

On April 24, 2012, in Problem DVD, by Mitch

There were no really big new release movies today, so I picked this one up. I usually enjoy movies with Mark Wahlberg, so this was a nice find. Of course, since my wife usually controls the TV, I converted this movie so I could watch it on one of my tablets tonight.

On April 20, 2012, in Newsletter, by Mitch

Thank you for reading the 52nd DVD Catalyst Newsletter.   A full year, every week and still going. I mentioned it a few weeks back in newsletter 50, but I never thought I’d be able to keep up this schedule along with the rest of my work. It wasn’t easy, but it sure was fun.

Free eBook Guides

In DVD Catalyst Newsletter 50, I included a couple of links for eBook versions of a few video guides.

After posting the newsletter, someone suggested an eBook website to [...]

Barnes and Noble NOOKcolor – AVI DVD M2TS MKV (and BLURAY)

So you picked up a nice Barnes and Noble NOOKcolor tablet, and figured that with such a nice screen, it would be great for watching movies on it. Unfortunately, there are not that many options to actually obtain movies for it. Barnes and Noble currently doesn’t offer any movies for it, so aside from watching videos [...]
