u can find it in torrents in 1080i.

don't bother with the 5th wave.

total amateurish alien invasion flick.

better off watching falling skies (tv series).

monkey king 2 2016... is good!

the story is well known, nothing new. it is sort of a sequel to monkey king 2014 from the same director.

it is refreshing with aaron kwok, gong li and william feng. the most noticeable thing about this movie is the animation and special effects are definitely good for a hongkong/china movie, much better than its predecessor.

the hd audio is excellent. 4/5. rotten tomatoes gives it a 100% rating!

i look forward to a third episode, i hope on "bull king-princess iron fan-red boy".

i thought the music and the whole soundtrack was excellent.

the sudden action sounds come out superb in hd audio.

no.

that kind, not lately.

action ones, a few - ip man 3, monk comes down the mountain, sword of destiny, monkey king 2,

the "dynastic" kind - should go for tv series - thee is always a couple on-going.

i thought it was alright.

it is not a typical superhero movie.

more of an action comedy.

must say ryan reynolds did a pretty good job.

action, animation quite well done, humor was good.

the dtshdma audio was good.

sequel said to go ahead.

comedies are such.

there is no fun if u already know the jokes and humor.

like hangover, 1st time hilarious but can't do 2nd round.

also, ryan reynolds did much better as deadpool than green lantern which i thought was a total flop.



here's a good current affairs/documentary film - where to invade next by michael moore.

some astounding facts about how different countries are dealing with issues like education, drugs, prisoners, women rights.

a must for those who like moore's previous works incl fahrenheit 9/11 and sicko.

did u know...

The bear attack is a grueling, visceral moment that feels grounded and real. But it wasn’t, the bear was actually a stuntman named Glenn Ennis. To accomplish this feat, he wore a big blue costume and walked, talked, and generally acted like a bear in the woods.

really, with all the cgi tech and great actors/stuntmen, everything can be made in the studio.

external scenes can be shot and modified to whatever way it's required.

all the nice scenaries are not real but computer effects.

everything is revealed in "the making" of movies.

pearl harbor - all the scenes were shot in 2001 but modified to look like 1941.

matrix - most of the great action shots were filmed in the studio with hundreds of cameras placed in a 360 deg ring.

avatar, lord of the rings - most shots were made indoors with lots of wires attached to the bodies with blue suits for cgi manipulation.

that's modern day movies.

TWO syfy movies for you.


synchronicity is a low budget time travel story. however, the drama and the suspense is pretty good, keeps you going. and like all time travel mindbenders, you will say, at several points of the film, "wait a minute, that can't be, what's happening here?".

not as slick as predestination but worth a watch. 3/5.




midnight special is a suspenseful, well written script drama. not to spoil it for you but the show keeps you wondering where the story is going next. one way to describe this movie - "close encounters of a new kind". 3.5/5.

there are 12 star trek movies.

i have all of them, rewatched a few of them 2 years ago, will watch the rest in a couple yrs time.

seriously, i really can't remember the stories of all of them except for the first one... "V'Ger" and the 2 most recent. the rest... there was one about dolphins, one about spocks lost and found, one about khan, one about the crew of enterprise fighting against their doppelgangers...?

i definitely remember the stories of the 6-episode hobbit-lord of the rings or 7-episode star wars better.



well, star trek 13 coming july this year.

think it's 9 or 10, insurrection or nemesis, patrick stewart.

can't be sure, vague memory, maybe got mixed up with something else.

u remember a lot!

ya, i had that since 2 years ago - 1080p, DTS.

good stuff, been putting it on a few times.




no good movies lately.

watched john travolta's i am wrath - poor, 1.5/5, don't bother.

watched pandemic - stopped after 20 mins.

i actually now watch tv series more - current seasons of game of thrones, gotham, person of interest... they are now all in 1080p, dts/dd5.1.

think it was remastered to 720p, aired on paid tv... hulu, netlfix, amazon...

not on bluray.

if u like the songs in that concert, i have no doubt u will like this classic.

concert in 1977, released only in 2013.

8 songs only.

dtshdma or dd5.1


eagles, hotel california, live at capital center 1977

triple 9 is a crime story film. the script is not very well written but the action and suspense is quite good. keeps u riveted to the seat for 2 hours.

star studded cast - Casey Affleck, Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 years a slave), Aaron Paul (breaking bad), Norman Reedus (walking dead), Woody Harrelson, and Kate Winslet. 3/5.

gods of egypt...

very low ratings.

but will watch it in dtshdma, will see if it makes it better!

same with kill command.

ah, i just noticed it has dts:x version!

will have to get a new AVR, a new player soon enough!



kill command is a weak syfy movie. it reminds u of terminator 3 and falling skies.

the story is simple with a poor script but decent action.

ok for syfy fans but it's not a movie u will remember for long. 2/5.

ex-machina in comparison is way better despite less action.
