Your source better than mine. Mine only around 8gig. 5.1 DTS

Agreed!

Sounded a little "muted".

watch Focus.
to me kind of boring. theres a lot of con/steal/heist movies out there and this one is lame. i rather watch art of the steal.

the good thing is the sound and picture is pretty good, story line....disappointing

Knight and Day (2010)

In 2005, on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Tom Cruise did his famous (or infamous) jumping up and down on a couch declaring his love for Katie Holmes.

On August 22, 2006, Paramount Pictures announced it was ending its 14-year relationship with Cruise. (Tom Cruise and partners, Paramount claimed, were getting to much from the DVD sales of the Mission Impossible franchise)

On the heels of the above, remember the movie Salt (2010) with Angelina Jolie? Her role was originally written for a guy, and Tom Cruise was supposedly signed on for the movie as that male lead.

That deal fell apart for Tom, and he ended up doing this movie, with Cameron Diaz.

I like the script, clever, fun, light and situation comedy/action flick.

Not sure if the executing is perfect. Tom "starlight" in my opinion was at his lowest, and I feel they hope that this would revived that. I feel that it is a little forced. The whole movie.

Cameron Diaz made a name for herself in movies like The Mask (1994) and There's Something About Mary (1998). The reason she made her name was that in those movies, she plays the ingenue (well at least on the surface).

She was supposed to repeat that role in this movie and alas, she no longer was the ingenue (sad but true)...

There are enough things here to make you sit through the whole movie, and have to add, not Tom Cruise best work!

3.5/5

John Williams Celebration (2015)

There is no denying, in modern cinema, many a blockbuster, would be greatly different, if John Williams, was NOT the composer behind the movie.

Think about it.

Star Wars!

Superman

Jaws

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Schindler's List (Probably my favourite)

Etc, etc, etc

This concert took place this year at the Disney Concert Hall (I think it used to be called The Kodak Theater, I could be wrong).

Very good concert.

I did find the sound recording a little muted, compared with my Keeping Score collection (San Francisco Philharmonic Orchestra).

But with the program like below...

Full Music Program

Olympic Fanfare and Theme

Three Pieces from Schindler’s List

Cadenza and Variations from Fiddler on the Roof

“Soundings”

“Escapades” from Catch Me If You Can

“Throne Room and Finale” from Star Wars

“Dry Your Tears, Afrika” from Amistad

“Imperial March” from The Empire Strikes Back

John Williams himself came down from his seat to conduct the last piece, and they have Storm Troopers marching in at the end!!

Storm Trooper, in the Disney Concert Hall, when will we ever... wait, Disney now owns Lucas Arts, so alot of times in the future I bet!!

I like this. If you like orchestra music, give this a swirl!!

Daredevil (2003)

Am gearing up for Batman Vs Superman, so decided to revisit this.

I believe Ben Affleck received alot of... flak (??) for his portrayal of Matt Murdoch/Daredevil and in my opinion, I don't think he is THAT bad.

The movie is decent.

The action sequences are quite well done.

I actually like Colin Farrell as Bullseye. He looks the part!!

They pay alot of homage to the comic book. The only thing that I can see that rubs people the wrong way is the Daredevil/Elektra relationship.

I believe that 20th Century Fox has lost the movie rights to this property, and it has reverted back to Marvel/Disney.

And to add to this the TV series is actually quite good.

Let;s see if we get more of Daredevil in the cinemas in the near future.

1080p so mainstream topic should now be 4K video already.... :/

M.Night Shaylaman new sickening movie

san andreas... one of the most visually stunning films i've ever watched. almost like one of those roland emmerich disaster movies but better.

simple lousy story with dwayne johnson but the visuals and special effects hit you again and again. best watched in dd truehd or dd atmos - great audio!

Mmmmmm... Sickening good or bad??

Actually M shyalaman could no longer make good movie.

So it's sickening bad even with quite talented casts

Okay

terminator genisys is not as good as i want it to be. the story is a little "loose", definitely not as tight as T1, T2 or T3. many scenes try to bring back the old scenes from the trilogy. this movie has no link to terminator salvation at all.

visually, not exceptional but dolby truehd audio is excellent - will test yr home theater with the big booms and low bass.

schwarzenegger is definitely too old for another T movie. emilia clarke (mother of dragons in game of thrones) does a fair job of sarah connor. jai courtney and jason clarke.. ordinary performances.

3/5. but a must for T fans.

agreed

Star Wars! Last weekend spend only to watch all 6 Star Wars movie in 1080p. Its a time well wasted.
