Watched Fast Five today. Some nice bass throughout the movie and in some of the music pieces (like the end credits).

Welcome back to HT.
taking a small break from hifi?
Watching movies actually involves the whole family (except XXX shows) unlike hifi with the emperor's spot.
Most of the time, it's a family event for me  rclxms.gif

Yeah, I find that hifi is quite a solitary event. Whereas HT is more of a family event (with the appropriate movies of course smile.gif)

Actually if you read AVS you'll see that any differences in sound quality is not due to the codec, but due to the mix.

Green Lantern...The hero is impetuos, petulant, arrogant and downright unlikable.
Kinda reminds me of the hero in Green Hornet. Also not very likeable. Not the usual hero material.

Hi Jchong,
Thx for replying.

Could it be due to recording/illegal burning processes?

I thought my Sony BD player unable to "process-decode" fast enough for fast movement of image in the video.

Eg. "when the singer perform/move his hands or leg (dancing) in fast action, that particular hand or leg become "distorted" straight horizontal lines, but strangely the other still HD/fine (since slow)

Or my eyes too sharp to detect such flaw?

Anyway. this is another "Ahem" vs "Ori" example.  (go ori !)

Thx again.

Maybe they re-encode the movie and this affects the quality/smoothness of the playback.

Watched Die Hard 5 and Olympus Has Fallen. Both are big and loud action movies, but not much in terms of sophistication, plot or acting.

Nevertheless, they are for casual entertainment and very impressive for LFE. Reminds me of Underworld Awakening with tremendous and "over the top" type bass.

In fact there was a scene in DH5 and one in OHF which caused my HT partition walls to creak. Anyway, they are certainly good as demo-material for subwoofer(s)!

wwz seem to have the best bass content of any movies released this year.
and this year we have a lot of those. ironman3, oblivion, olympus has fallen, gi joe but wwz stands out (considerably). plane crash, building explosions, helicopter blades, car crashes, gunfight, machine gun fire. the bass is like knowing + black hawk dawn +  flight of the phoenix all rolled into one.

Just watched WWZ yesterday. In terms of bass, there was really only one spectacular scene which is the grenade explosion around 1hr 5m mark. Machine gun fire is well done too, fairly balanced.

Movies like Olympus Has Fallen and Die Hard 5 certainly had more bass, though I felt it was sometimes overdone.

Now for something, REALLY different.

Director Kenji Misumi will always be know for this series.

A samurai turned ronin (a samurai without a master) wonders the country of Japan, helping the simple folks while pursuing his arch enemy, the Yagyu Clan!!

The hook? His absolutely cute and adorable young son, whom his pushes all over Japan in a wooden cart.

They do not talk to each other, but rather communicate with each other with knowing glances...

I have you know, I would have KILLED for a wooden cart like the one in the movies when I was a baby, way WAY cool.

Again, please note that this is a VERY violent series, limbs and heads go a flying.... Oh and blood a spluttering...

For movies that is 41 years old, the transfer is impressive...

They must have kept the masters in a pristine environment!!

Must revisit this series. I remember watching one of them (can't remember which) back in the 80s.

Thanks for reminding me about this.

The Usual Suspects (1995)

How do you get your hands on an amazing script, a whole stable of great actors and also have a reasonable budget in 1995 for your directorial debut?

The answer is, you have to be Bryan Singer.

For the life of me, I don't know why I have only watch this movie NOW!!!

Everything is delivered!

There is absolutely, positively not wrong with this movie (well there are some goofs, but as far as story, acting and editing is concern), NOTHING. This movie is categorise as a mystery and boy is it ever!!!

Bryan Singer, is still showing alot of directors, how it is done, with this little gem!!

I cannot recommend this movie enough!!

Like always, My Two Sen.

What, you only just watched The Usual Suspects?!?!

Brilliant movie eh? Long live Keyser Söze. smile.gif

Another one I like from the same era is LA Confidential.

I was told by many that the AQ is disappointing  hmm.gif . That's the Asia and UK ver. The just released US ver is still not known yet as I have not check out the reviews.

Yeah I also felt Iron Man 3 AQ was nothing special. Don't know which version I got (prob Asia).
