The Top Ten DVD & TV On DVD-Videos Of 2005 As Reviewed At GENRE ONLINE.NET
By
Mark A. Rivera
Every year I reflect back on the DVD releases of the previous year and pick my personal top ten based on what I reviewed of the previous year’s releases. I never add a title not reviewed because I feel every recommendation must be backed up by a review. So there will be titles worthy of recognition that are not included in these lists because they were not available for review for whatever the reason may be.
Now before I get to the lists, I do think Sony deserves special recognition for successfully introducing the UMD-Video for PSP format, proving there is a market for portable entertainment beyond video games and music. Now there are devices trying to imitate the PSP by providing the ability to download video onto a hard drive, but there is nothing that these devices can do, that the PSP cannot do just as well if not better. Hopefully next year I’ll be able to add top ten UMD for PSP list as the portable home video format continues to grow, but in the meantime I have reviews of various UMD releases that can be read by clicking on this link here.
