There have been lots of mixed reviews on the X-Men movie series, but after all is said and done, I really enjoyed all of them.  Next time I have 6 hours free, I think I’m going to sit down and watch all 3 in a row, haha!  If that sounds like something you might want to do as well, check out this collectible X-Mean Trilogy pack.  It contains all three movies at a great price.

This little portable player does it all. It can play DVDs, CDs, CD-Rs, CR-RWs, MP3s and JPEGs.  JPEGs?  I guess that means it can function as a digital picture frame too.  Pretty cool, especially with the built-in stand.  Now I can watch episodes of Entourage on my desk while I work

Don’t have enough space for an in-wall aquarium?  Don’t want your beautiful new plasma TV to just sit there while you’re not using it?  Then, this DVD is for you.  Just pop it in and choose one of nine different aquariums.  The fish look very real and you can really calm yourself down after a hard day’s work just by sitting on the couch and staring at those cute little fishies.  If you don’t like cute… there’s also a cool shark tank included as well

Now you can mount that shiny new plasma or LCD TV like a pro. Instead of leaving unsightly cables dangling all over the place, this unit will hide all the cables and even provide space for all your A/V components. Its sleek and stylish, but only fits TVs up to 47″, so if you are lucky enough to have one of those 60 inchers, this may not be the solution for you.

“Here He Comes, Here Comes Speed Racer…” If that sounds like music to your ears, then check out this 1/25th scale model of the Mach V. Its a definite must have for Speed Racer fans and if you aren’t a fan… well its still a cool looking car. The box says its rated as a level 2 model kit, which means you’ll have to break out the glue and paints to put it together, but even kids should be able to tackle it fairly easily.

You wanted Bio-Food now you can have Bio-Electronics, well sort of. If someone tells me their TV is shaped like an apple I would consider him to have “very good” taste, but this small screen LCD TV looks quite nice in appropriate surroundings! It has a 9.6″ LCD screen, 800×600 SVGA resolution and surround sound speakers. You just have to get matching turnip radios and melon dishwashers!

It’s time to lay back and enjoy commercial programming and movies the way they were intended to be enjoyed. The Mitsubishi WD-73727 is a top of the line product which is reflected in the price, but also greatly in the quality. Watch HDTV programming in all its 1920×1080 resolution glory. As a great extra an external media center is included for A/V and a multiformat card reader too. Don’t have any speakers? Don’t worry, the TV also has two 10W speakers for your audio pleasure.

Talk about surprising furniture! The Reversible Media Center is like the Joker in Batman. On one side it’s an antique bookshelf on the other it’s a modern A/V stand for you plasma screen. Just flip it round if you want to watch TV and flip it back if you feel like reading. If you feel like both suppose you’re a bit like the Joker too.

Now that you have that cool plasma or LCD tv, you need an equally cool piece of furniture to finish the look and put all your cool audio and video components. I really like the look of a low console under your TV, which is either mounted on the wall or sitting on the console with a simple stand.  This will surely give your a space a modern, high-tech feel.  If that sounds about right to you, check out this nice Sussex console by Design Within Reach.  Their stuff is typically expensive but becomes affordable when its on sale, like this one.  Very nice indeed.

Always in search of the sub-$1000 LCD tv, this nice 32″ ViewSonic LCD HDTV definitely caught my eye.  It has everything needed to watch tv straight out of the box, including powerful 10-watt stereo speakers, and it also has all the options and connections needed to put together a complete high-definition home entertainment system.  I am still looking for something closer to the 37″ range, but the 1366×768 resolution and 1000:1 contrast ratio is a definite plus on this set.  Plus, its made by ViewSonic which is generally a brand you can trust when it comes to displays.  All in all, a very good buy, especially at this price.

Ever wanted a drive-in theater in your own backyard?  Wish you could watch the big game WHILE you barbecue?  If any of this sounds like fun, then check out this unique outdoor theater screen and audio system.  It consists of a weatherproof 8-ft. inflatable screen and outdoor amplified speakers with full range sound.  Unfortunately, the price does not include a projector (which you must provide yourself), but if you are set on watching the big game while relaxing outside, then this may be the theater system for you.

“One is a genius, the other insane”! If you know what I’m talking about, then you’re going to love this “Pinky and the Brain” DVD set.  If not, here’s a quick summary… two lab mice try to take over the world, enough said. This cartoon series is one of my fondest childhood memories with its hilarious dry wit and humor. It first aired in 1995 and was even emmy nominated.  Now for the first time (finally), you can get Vol. 1 on a multidisc DVD set featuring 22 episodes plus some cool extras.

Remember our post earlier about mounting your Dell monitor? Now you can mount any brand of monitor using this ingenious little device.  In fact, it also lets you tilt the monitor to reduce glare, etc. The weight capacity of this Flat Panel Mount is 130lbs (59kg), which should be plenty. It may even be enough for the architect in the Matrix! Many screen sizes can be accommodated due to the movable holders, so if you have a 30″-50″ (76cm-127cm) monitor or TV, start mounting away.
