Ya..

De older Will Smith flicks like ID4 ; I Robot ; MIB ; Bad Boys are gems..
Now tat he is famous, he does more drama like Pursuit of Happyness n 7 pounds which are yawn.gif

Those actions flicks like ID4 ; I Robot ; MIB ; Bad Boys are popcorn movies that are ok only.  It is his drama that really shines.

I can see you are those actions movies type that prefer style over substance.

Heck ya..

I m as commercial as they come, wrapped in advertising hype.. as almost everyone

But I do appreciate decent dramas/dramedys/romcoms .. more than d avrg guy..
I totally enjoyed In the Valley of Elah .. anti hero Tommy Lee Jones wif his pock marked face flick abt de gulf war syndrome..

The lead actor is Paul Bettany.  Somehow it kinna remind me of Priest 2011.  Personally I enjoy it but feel like it could somehow make it better. I would give it 6/10 overall.
*
Haha..

Its similar but wif different storyline..
Priest is abt vampires n not de bloodsuckin type but de total consumption type - Bettany plays a super vampire killer who are called 'priests'
Legion is abt de coming of armageddon or the end of de world as written abt in de bible.. and Bettany plays de angel who still largely believes in humankind n sets forth to prevent tis..

Priest is faster paced ; Legion has more character buildup n is creepier ..

I prefer Legion..

Watched tis a coupla nites ago..

MEET JOE BLACK

I luv Anthony Hopkins n having Brad Pitt [ in de title role ] wif Claire Forlani's gorgeous face.. wats not to like in tis flick..
Well for one, its nearly 3 hours long n its all talky talky except for de 1st quarter where de migrant-to-be gets canned by NY traffic - twice ..
But its wonderful story telling and super great acting all round .. u wont feel sleepy wif tis.
In a nut shell - Super rich but overall nice guy gets a heads up wif Death n gets to sort out his final wishes before he moves on to de eternal resting place but wif a twist in de story..
Wonderful 1080p vdo even thou its nearly 16yrs old..

Its not bad.. but de ending was a bit implausible..why would a train co employee go out of his way in life n limb to apprehend de criminal??

But for Denzel Washingtons fare n being back to back .. train movies.. Unstoppable is a lot more enjoyable...

PotC 4

I m not a big fan of tis series.. only truly enjoying de 1st - Curse of de Black Pearl . As de series prgressed , it got weirder n weirder wif mysticism n legendary folklore more than a real pirate swashbuckling fare.. if u ask me.. anyway, stil found d time to look at tis latest [ I arldy 1 to 3, so not gettin 4 is prbbly sacrilege.. ]
Wat can I say, its not much different than 2 n 3 heck except for de loss of bloom n kneightleys characters.. evrybodys back ..
Tis time Sparrow teams up, reluctantly wif Barbossa n a new pirate Blackbeard n gang [ Cruz is one of em ] against de spaniards , tis time..

VDO is pristine n ODOs 7.1 dts hs n is flawless too.. a hint of hotness in its normal level but tats gud.. LFE is glorious too..

Overall.. shld be in ones POTC collection, all d same.. even if u r not a big fan..

[attachmentid=2525375]  [attachmentid=2525376]

A grown up super scary version of E.T.
Directed by J J Abrams whose earlier film Cloverfield was a super hit for all bass nuts, this film also has some serious lfe moments. thumbup.gif
The alien in this movie looks like a down sized spider version of the Cloverfield monster.
The use of the super 8 camera produces some serious blue lens flare but this is not as bad as in Star Trek.
Or was it intentional, done post production?I found it to be quite entertaining as in all Spielberg movies.but this is more gritty and real.

Haha..

I got my hands on an mkv version while my pre ordr bd is not even released yet.. sighsss

Been resistin to catch tis ..

Just did BluRay "A Good Day To Die Harder". Well the track mention DTS True HD 7.1 but through out the movie never even heard any coming out from my rear speakers! The front and center mix also bad! Vocal is not centralized! The car chasing event after the BMW + Court explosion also flat! Do you guys experience the same or it is just me?

Hi all, just wanna share the below AV demo disc I got frm local dealer. I love this kinda short clips where they picked the best scene frm the best movies! These are the 6 I got yesterday. Managed to test(fast phase) out 2 disc(due to the stupid Chinese opera/歌台 still going on) and bam!! Though the disc clearly stated DTS HD 7.1 but turn out to be the tracks only output 5.1 channel. Guess that's the prob when buying "ah hem" disc la..

Just curious,

But how do u knw tat its outputin only 5.1?? Thru de display/lites in ur avr??If so, then it could be lossy .. even..

Hi d_r, through out the titles I couldn't experience any sound coming out frm any 7.1 short clips thru the back surround speakers. Then I got into worry quickly went back to set up screen-test tone.. Huh the sound frm the back surround sounded brightly! Hah finally there is another page frm the disc where the track will enable one by the speaker staring frm the front left! So when the back surround speaker take turn to turn ON time, the screen showed the speaker output signal but the sound went to rear surround speakers. I think somehow the pirated disc when copying time, the additional 2 back surround signals already mixed into the rear surround. Is this making sense?
I have 4 four more disc to test, if all yield the same, *^%% will go return all the discs and exchange with P Ramli classic !!
*

Yup,

It does..
D pirates can work wonders.. huh .. dwn mix to de rear surr.. unfortunately they cannot upconvert SD to output true HD [ even 720p, pun jadi la ]
Odo is important but dont really break/make a movie.. IMO

dun be so sucked in by the hitech audio effects that u lose sight of the movie itself - the story, choreography, script, message, acting..! wink.gif

Haha,

Grant him tat .. its new.. u knw - new broom sweeps..

Aftr saying tat .. If u want to visit a simple story line wif gud story, script, message, acting and ending [l might add] , look up Frank Darabont flicks - hardly any efx - but bet u , u wont be bored..

Hi avfan & d_r, I think my BP is 180/100 now every morning! Sleep also saliva drooling! Now adrenaline pumping moment I will move mountain for the sake of anything pertaining to HiFi/AV. Strike the iron whislt it's hot!
Whole morning until now burnt la! Doing nothing about works! But internet searching reading about speakers. Plus talking to u guys!

Haha,

I dont know abt u.. but sometimes when u read too much rvws, u kinda need to take a step bck n look at de large picture then take a stand n decide - cos literally, there are just too much info coming out.. Can go crazy trying to decide.. one person says tis n another says tat.. n if u are looking at somethin new in de market - one of my most important criterias - durability is never answered - granted tat its so new tat nobody has really put some mileage on de gear .. but .. u know wat I m getting at..

So I guess in de end - luck [or de almighty, depending on who u r talking to.. laugh.gif ] plays a so important part..
