The Day the Earth Stood Still

The Day the Earth Stood Still

Viewed on a Mitsubishi HC1500C 720p 73" screen with DTS 6.1 Audio from a Denon receiver 100 watts per channel, self powered 10" Sub & Shakers mounted in chair. (did sample it on a 40" Sony with 1080p)

Don't go into this Movie expecting anything like the original, if you just put your mind in neutral and go along for the ride it might not be that bad. I really hope that our Government would handle things much differently if we ever have a "First Contact" like this. This movie try's to make a point but does not succeed imho.
Excellent Picture and Audio Quality with very good LFE, this Movie was made for shakers...But Rent This...

Film: The Spirit

Movie Itself: I had very low expectations going in, yet still thought it was a very lousy movie. This was especially disapointing because I enjoyed Frank Miller's past films including Sin City and 300. The only thing that was appealing was the visual stylization of the film, Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johansson. Besides that, this film was absolutely awful!

PQ: Visuals and picture quality were very good. Typical of a top notch Blu-Ray release.

AQ: Arguably the best thing about this film was it's stunning DTS-MA audio track. When Octopus unleashes his arsanal of firearms, you can hear the bullets flaring, the shells tinking on the pavement and the sonic boom of the impact. This audio track is top notch.

Gear: Watched Blu-Ray on a Sony PS3. Viewed using an Epson 720p HD front projector with 92" Carada Criterian 16:9 screen. Audio was powered with a lossless Denon 1909 AVR with 5 Polk satellites and bass from a 10" HSU STF-2.

Final Grade: D.
Save your time. I don't see any good reason to watch this film. It was that bad.

Tropic Thunder:

I didn't like it that much. Robert Downey Jr. was the only one that I though was funny. Ben Stiller was just annoying and Jack Black wasn't funny at all.

Yeah, I didn't think TT was that great either. I don't get all the hype about this movie.

I've got to buy this one.

Yeah me too... like From Dusk Till Dawn, and the Kill Bill's this one I can watch over and over... and the storyline with Mejo is worth it for that part alone...

X-Men

Watched in the HT room 73" & sampled on the 40" SONY... DTS sound...
Another Movie that's been around for awhile, Excellent Audio and Video with a couple of slightly out of focus spots toward the end on the Statue of Liberty(Wolverine's face, checked Cinemax version and it was the same) good sound effects, good LFE all in all Action packed and the start of the franchise, can't wait to pick up & watch 2 & 3 now...

Wife and I just watched 'Doubt'. A very interesting movie that brings up considerably more questions then it answers about a Catholic school in the 60's. Video was excellant and while this movie is primarily driven by the spoken word, there was one sequence where there was thunder and I told my wife that it sounded as though it was going to rain outside. About a minute later I noticed that it was going to rain in the movie - not out side my house -- way Cool!!

If you like a movie to challenge your viewpoints, observations and exercise your mind -- this would be a good movie to start with. My only suggestion is to watch with someone else, the conversation afterward will be invigorating.

Star Trek The Motion Picture

Watched in the HT room 73" & on the 40" SONY... Dolby 6.1
You know the story, this movie generally looks great, there are spots where the PQ is soft such as when the probe comes on the bridge of the Enterprise and earlier when Scotty and Kirk are touring spacedock containing the Enterprise (views from behind them and out the windows of the shuttle pod. My player will not output the provided Dolby 7.1 TrueHD sound track, but listening in 6.1 mode the sound is pretty good with good LFE.
The SFX is dated in spots and the story grows old if you have seen it before... But it is Trek

Basically I understand that this is a condensed version of the Discovery Planet Earth discs...which I have not seen.
PQ was stunning and it kept my attention through out the whole thing. (reminded me of what they used to show on the "Wonderful World of Disney" way back when)
Excellent LFE
Good family film as the predator scenes were not graphic....

Wow, good movie I thought... 2 men awake from Cryogenic sleep in deep space with not that much memory of how they got there and even who they are...
Kept me interested.

Excellent PQ
Good Surround & LFE
