Our Policies

1. We cover fine-art titles that could not be appealingly made, at least to our taste, before the advent of HDVD.
   1. One category consists of works that were originally written in a score or script. Opera and classical concert music leap to mind. We review works based on a score or script only if they are in the public domain or if the owners of the work have allowed or would allow publication of at least two competing versions by different artists.This also includes all choreography, but not Soul Train. Stan Kenton is in; Miles Davis is out. Ingmar Bergman, no matter how high-brow, is not reviewed here; but a HDVD version of Polanski's Macbeth, however gross, would be included because it's the Shakespeare play.
   2. Another category we cover are documentaries about painting and other plastic arts. But we would not cover a documentary about the making of Turandot in the Forbidden City because that subject can be handled adequately in SD.
   3. Everything we seek has a visual beauty that could not be captured with prior technology. But we exclude most entertainment to focus on the finest.
2. A "report" will have basic data about the CV title and enough additional information to let the reader decide if he would be interested in the title. A "review" should in addition discuss the title in depth.
3. We will not release information about a member of the CV flock to anybody except with expressed permission granted to conduct business in due course. We will never divulge our membership list by sale or otherwise. Except for email, all information about you (and the business) is on a computer that is not connected to the Internet.
