Parking for great thread
By the way, I thought Godzilla is much better then Shazam, however need to wait for 1080p/4K to qualify. |

hellboy 2019.... waste of time.
a soulless, not funny half horror film for bored teenagers.  david harbour (hopper in stranger things) and mila jovovich couldn't make it good. people will only remember del toro's 2 hellboys with ron perlman and the late john hurt. |

Kidnapping Stella - this is the remake British film "The Disappearance of Alice Creed" by German, a cleaner version, nothing to see here.
The original is better. 2.5 Star.  This post has been edited by Andrewtst: Jul 18 2019, 03:57 AM |

QUOTE(salimbest83 @ Jul 19 2019, 10:42 AM) help. To get the Atmos experience, you need the hardware (ceiling speakers + AVR).are u here talking about real HARDWARE or just the sound inside the video? If you don't have the hardware you can still play the Atmos soundtrack. Your AVR can still play it, you just won't get the ceiling sound effects. So far in my experience, horror movies like Conjuring 2 makes use of the ceiling sound effects really well  |

I can't. 3 Star.It is very enjoyable. Visuals are great. Audio is awesome. 5 stars from me Yup, the visuals are great but it seems like watching Robocop world in Ready Player One. The audio wise is freaking awesome! The most important I start dislike the show from mid and the end is such a boom... no ending... The box office is so bad in US, not even half the budget, wonder they will have Alita 2 or not... Even though the worldwide gross is double of the budget but US gross is important and this film didn't do it well.  This post has been edited by Andrewtst: Jul 21 2019, 11:51 PM |

Just watched Alita during the weekend.
the Atmos and visual effect is really good. i kind of enjoy the movie very much other than the ending of the movie. really hope they have part 2 but looking at the boxoffice record, they may scap the project...  This post has been edited by Fusion: Jul 22 2019, 01:39 PM |

They are willing to pay RM15 for a cup of coffee but won’t pay RM13.90 a month for content. If we keep reducing fees, it is not going to solve the problem
sadly, its the truth |

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Aug 2 2019, 01:07 AM) My only paid subscription is Netflix. i still have less than a year of subscription on iflix (very seldom watching, only when the kids around only opens it). i'm more into youtube and playtv [f1-foxsport and cooking shows on BBC,travel channel,net geo people]. for local channel, mostly 8tv[7pm-tvb & china drama from 8:30-9.30pm), 9.30pm onwards very very seldom watching. although sub on ruby+, very seldom catching the movies. Dimsum refuse to support Apple TV 4K and ask me just cast over, stupid decision and due to that, I immediate stop the subscription.  |

This thread is for recommending 1080p or 4k MOVIES.... just the movie.
Please keep to topic, not about boxes, where to get, what source!! There are many other threads for such other matters. |

Avengers: Endgame...
from wiki... QUOTE Avengers: Endgame was widely anticipated, and Disney backed the film with extensive marketing campaigns. It premiered in Los Angeles on April 22, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 26, 2019, in IMAX and 3D. The film received praise for its direction, acting, musical score, visual effects, and emotional weight, with critics lauding its culmination of the 22-film story. It has grossed over $2.79 billion worldwide, surpassing Infinity War's entire theatrical run in just eleven days and breaking numerous box office records, including becoming the highest-grossing film of all time, overtaking Avatar. credit to the grand organization... so many characters... almost like an MCU gathering. the final battle is very well done... guess the bulk of the $368mil went there. other than that, i didn't find it that impressive despite all the hype and talk. 3/5 at best.  |

Godzilla: King of the Monsters... is poor!
all that visual effects, monster fights.... can't make up for a poor narrative, and a bad script. costs $200mil, grossed 385mil. 2/5. next year, we'll get godzilla vs kong!  rocketman... is a biographical musical movie about the life of elton john. unlike bohemian rhapsody where real queen music was used, this one has taron egerton (eggsy of kingsman) singing the songs. pretty much the truth about his life, incl his gay part. if u like his music, it is quite an entertaining movie.... incl a glimpse into and what "goodbye yellow brick road", "your song" and "rocketman" were really about. 3/5.

Tolkien (2019)
Does ever film need to me a Michael Bay movie? No. Interestingly, has anyone seen a Michael Bay movie recently? Definitely no for me. This movie blindsided me. It has a modest budget (20 million) and did not do much at the US box office (7 million). Being a movie English production, I am not surprise. It is very... what is that word I am looking for... lyrical, but in a image sense... I am not sure I am getting this through. This movie attempts to tell the life story of J. R. R. Tolkien. From his childhood, early tragedies, to him and his brother having to grown up very quickly, leaving everything they know and then having to live at a boarding house. He and his brother were put under the care of a catholic priest and can only go to university if they get a scholarship. It is a slow moving movie. It tells his live through his fellowship of T.C.B.S. (Tea Club and Barrovian Society) and how the later stories that he would write is inspired by his life (friends, school, War World I) I thought this was beautifully cast, written and directed. The box office suggest otherwise. C'est La Vie I love the picture quality of this movie. Beautifully shot in England. Although overall a rather quite movie, the World War I scenes are also sonically pleasing. Don't think anyone would be using this as reference material, and have to add for the movie, it works. My Two Sen |

Not by beautifying war, and I am alibiing here, how Tolkien's psyche survive the War to End All War by processing the War into Fantasy, which became his works... Am I making sense.

13 Reasons Why - Now in Season 3. Still in watching ...
My 2nd favor Netflix show after "The Stranger Things". This probably the most controversial film ever release by Netflix where a lot people want it to be stop. Also the only film I ever watch came with warning and the only show do worldwide counseling. The main reason this film is to alert on what is happening now especially in school but due to too many sensitive talk with some disturbing scenes where even happen real case after season 2 where a teenager actually following the end of scenes in season 2 and shotgun his study school and make some people dead and he admit he was following the show ... ... 13 Reasons Why talk about nearly everything, from suicide, rapist, bullies, psychopath, pervert, gay, lesbian, abuser, drug, lying, sex, kinky, hates, anger, gun, killer, broken family, depression, guilt, threaten, revenge, race, gender equality, dead and secrets ...

MIB International is disappointing....
after so long, that's all they can come up with?! chris hemsworth and liam neeson couldn't save it. a forgettable movie. 2/5.  John Wick 3 Parabellum... i like this one! as good as John Wick 2014... a neo noir film... dark theme, plenty of action, gore, some humor. nice to see many familiar faces besides keanu reeves - halle berry (storm/x-men), lawrence fishburne (matrix), mark dacascos (brotherhood of the wolf), jerome flynn (bronn in GOT). and a few indon fighters (from The Raid), incl yayan ruhian. 3.5/5. John Wick series is somewhat like Tarrantino's works - Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill 1&2 - either u like them or u hate them! the ending points to John Wick 4.... but before that I think we will see Keanu Reeves back in MATRIX 4 first.

QUOTE(salimbest83 @ Sep 3 2019, 11:01 AM) i saw loki piaping scene in the trailer.. well... Horror romance. To me, putting this movie in the paranormal or horror category alone is a mockery to it. I feel it leans more to mystery/romancebtw is this scary movie or just normal paranormal movie? |

Finish watching X-Men: Dark Phoenix. 3 Star.
It actually ain't bad if it is a standalone show BUT this Dark Phoenix had totally destroy the possibility to join back the Origin X-Men story-line. The story of Dark Phoenix some how very wrong. Acting and CGI no issue but the story.  |

Godzilla: King of the Monsters - 1 Star
Stupid storyline Stupid too dark dusty special effect Stupid fight Stupid theory Stupid boring The worst Godzilla film I ever watch  Brightburn - 3 Star Something unique where the "Superman" is villain. Not the best but ain't bad either. Fall in the middle. Got potential and I hope they is episode 2.  This post has been edited by Andrewtst: Sep 4 2019, 01:14 AM |

2 mediocre movies... if u care about them...!
X-Men: Dark Phoenix is not so good... sorry! possibly the worst of the whole lot, it is the 7th episode in whole franchise. while the CGI is not too bad, the story is weak, action scenes can do better... esp the part about the "aliens". the cast did OK, including jessica chastain (she can do better...) but no jack hughman/wolverine... and i think they killed off raven/mystique becos jennifer lawrence wants to get out!! new director... din pay off 2/5.  martial arts... there was bruce lee.... then jet li, donnie yen... for a while... wu jing, (max) zhang jin. zhang jin did well in many movies - SPL II: A Time for Consequences, Ip Man 3, Master Z: The Ip Man Legacy. his latest, invincible dragon as an attempt to move forward to appeal to a diff audience... less kungfu, more CGI, use of foreign fighters. this one has brazilian UFC champ Anderson Silva.. like Ip Man3 had Mike Tyson, Ip Man Legacy had Dave Bautista. i found it quite alright despite the shortcomings... 2.5/5... hope he will keep doing what he does best.

Parasite (Korean) A winner from this year's Canne Film Festival. From time to time I got attracted to a few nice korean films. Many of which has element of surprises, which I think, becaming an in thing for them. This film may not give us a feel good effect, but just sit down, enjoy every single frame that brings us along with its unique story line. I truly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended. |

if u r a fan of syfy/time travel... terminator, 12 monkeys, travelers.... u should like in the shadow of the moon 2019.
it is a low budget netflix movie, no big stars except maybe michael hall from dexter. but is interesting enuf to keep u going, asking questions along the way. when it is done, u may need to rewatch the last part as it get a little fuzzy like all time travel shows. 3/5. |

wOw, great to hear you guys sharing 4K experience here... for me, although i owned two 4K titles on physical blu-ray (Batman v Superman and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), i don't have a 4K-capable gadget (player, tv, cable, avr...) to play it on...
1080 for now is good enough i guess....  please share / review / comment more older titles that have been out on 4K here, meaning not the ones shot on UHD/HD camera in the first place (because newer flicks sure great PQ & AQ... no doubt ) would love to hear your thoughts because my eyes still can't differentiate much between 4K and 1080 on older movies... maybe i'm old |

gentlement dont blame your age / your eye. Blame the marketing gimmic. 1080 to 4k its not equal to 3 times more clarity. Especially true for those movies title with CGI.
There are some good title without CGI can live up 4k like Nolan Batman Trilogy. Very nice SQ but noticible noise that i observed on PQ. I need to do frame by frame comparison between fullHD and 4k to tell the different and its not obvious for title like transformer. Dont spend your hard earn money on 4k title with lots of CGI. you might not get the best of it. |

You will notice differences if only you play at 4K TV/device with HDR capable. Also try avoid Disney title or release by Disney, include the entire Marvels title as what Disney did is very minimal differences. Others studio did much better especially Sony on those oldest title.

QUOTE(kevinlim001 @ Oct 9 2019, 12:59 PM) this is a good reference... but only for reference. i think each individual will experience differently based on each movie titles to their own interpretation.fake 4K doesn't mean bad, not all filmmakers chose to scan their negatives to 4K back then (before movies were shot digitally) so i guess 2K is good enough, then to upscale to 4K for the 4K blu-ray release is satisfactory. we have to look at the studio's budget too. if a studio willing to spend on a mega title... say the godfather where they know people will rush-out to buy its new 4K blu-ray, then they can re-scan whole movie to 4K or higher. i noticed most commercial/popcorn flicks don't need 4K for their titles. but most epic/award movies will.... and those are choices the filmmakers (studios) made for each of their movies, just like choices of cameras, aspect ratio, or lenses etc... and another thing, fake 4K could also meant a downsampled from a higher 6K or 8K, who knows right... |

Yes indeed. Good movies do not require great accessory enhancement, look at citizen kane. It would be a disaster if they even turn it into colour movie.

agree and disagree
for me even with a good and award-winning movie, if we chose to watch a not so good or underpar PQ and AQ presentation will also deter the full movie experience and satisfaction of viewing...  well i'm not saying watching a 1080p instead of 4K la, because difference is so minimal... maybe between 1080p BluRay and 720p DVD for instance... or even worse a VCD copy? imagine watching alita battle angel on VCD, i dont want to watch that today! although movie is so-so (that's subjective by the way)... but when the visceral and sheer quality of its PQ and AQ is superb or mind-blowing, will definitely evoke a good movie experience! having said that, who's still watching VCDs nowadays? no one... silly me This post has been edited by fadthil: Oct 11 2019, 06:44 PM |

TV show Breaking Bad, with a total of 5 seasons is, to many incl me, one of the best tv shows ever made.
the final season ended in 2013... and after 6 years, a netflix movie has just come up. El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie is sort of an epilogue for breaking bad, a final goodbye. it gives closure to jesse pinkman, if u remember him. many of the old characters make a comeback too in this movie, not just jesse - mike, todd, even walter "heisenberg" white. also written and directed by vince gilligan, the movie carries the same kind of tension and dark humor like the tv shows. as a breaking bad fan, i'll give it 3/5; those who did not watch the tv series will give it a 1/5 as the background story is required.  |

FYI, Pacific Rim – Fake 4K, HDR & Dolby Vision (episode 1). honestly, go watch this movie. Even thought it stated "Fake 4K", but the graphic is really superior! i tested myself on that! Of course, same apply for SQ, damn good on the Dolby Atmos, you should never miss this. this is one for the best movie you should keep as collection!
to me, movie with "HDR" really help alot on the PQ! here is another link for UHD bluray review! https://www.avforums.com/movies/reviews/ult...hd-blu-rays.74# This post has been edited by kskoay: Oct 15 2019, 07:49 AM |

so many different versions and entities, so difficult to make a choice. long2 time ago you have VHS & Betamax, one prevails... then when HD came, there's Blu-ray & HD-DVD... luckily that war ended early
now with the introduction of 4K Ultra HD, you have two entities of HDR, namely HDR10/HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. when will this end.... i understand, technology will keeps on evolving and increase demands, but surely not our pocket... having said all that, can't wait to survey a good and affordable 4k Ultra HD tv...  |

white storm 2 扫毒2天地对决 is an action thriller from director herman yau, hong kong.
it has nothing to do with white storm 扫毒 2013... not unlike SPL, SPL2, SPL3. starring andy lau, luis koo, michael mui... takes a cue from the godfather trilogy and fast&furious franchise - action full. do watch in lossless audio 5.1 at least! if u like this genre, it is good. i enjoyed it. 3/5.  |

 Watched The Art of Racing in the Rain this weekend. This is one of the time when Rotten Tomatoes not inline with majority of audience. Story being told from the dog perspective, it's a family / life drama that will bring your emotion to a roller-coaster ride. The best kind of people (and dog) and the worst kind of people are very well represented in this movie. It reminds us the reality of life. Very much recommended. QUOTE The Art of Racing in the Rain is a movie that will stir emotion. Milo Ventimiglia and Amanda Seyfried should be applauded for their acting but Kevin Costner steals the show as Enzo the dog's voice. |

a dearth of good movies lately.
luckily, a few good TV shows... these are "expanded reimagined remakes" of movies..., do check them out if u liked the movies. .. Jack Ryan S02... this season resembles a bit of Clear and Present Danger 1994 (harrison ford). S03, next year, is rumored to be a reimagined Hunt for Red October 1990. .. Treadstone... a new series inspired and based on the Jason Bourne movies. .. War of the Worlds... 2 series... 1 BBC, 1 Fox-Canal... remake, reimagined show of HG Well's classic novel and Spielberg/Tom Cruise movie 2005. i am watching ALL of them! |

HDR10+ is not that important in my opinion as it seems won't be a standard and hardly find HDR10+ title. Dolby Vision do have some but not many as well. Anyway all is backward compatible. |

IT chapter 2... is ok.
this movie is the 2nd half of IT where the 7 characters have grown up, 27 years later. maybe becos the story is very much 80's type, it does not come out as well in the current day. still, it has certain elements of horror (and humor) that keeps u going in the show. jessica chastain and james mcavoy leads. for those who have watched part 1, watch it; those who did not watch part 1, forget it... becos it keeps going back to the past. 3/5.  |

Midsommar - unsurprising / surprising ending! If you love cult film, you should watch this. 4 star.
From the director of Hereditary. The director said this is his 1st horror film, hmmm... this is not a horror film but Hereditary is a horror film where the director said it is his drama film... I think Ari Aster the director had issue on film genres. Anyway both is Cult. This post has been edited by Andrewtst: Dec 14 2019, 09:46 PM |

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood - 3 Star.
Hmm. I don't get why this film is having such high rating. From total 2 hours 31 minutes is freaking slow and meaningless story. Last 10 mins is wow! Awesome! Leonardo acting was very great! That it. I give 3 star the max because of Leonardo acting and also the last 10 mins. Actually this film can straight drag to last 10 mins to watch it.  |

Jack Ryan S02... this season resembles a bit of Clear and Present Danger 1994 (harrison ford). S03, next year, is rumored to be a reimagined Hunt for Red October 1990. .. Treadstone... a new series inspired and based on the Jason Bourne movies. .. War of the Worlds... 2 series... 1 BBC, 1 Fox-Canal... remake, reimagined show of HG Well's classic novel and Spielberg/Tom Cruise movie 2005. i am watching ALL of them!

The Irishman... is quite a piece of work.... from acclaimed Martin Scorsese who also did casino, goodfellas - american mafia crime epics... and the departed, wolf on wall street, shutter island, taxi driver, etc.
3 3/4 hrs long... not much action but not boring either... more of intense drama - of politics and crime. but u gotta like his mafia movies or the godfather trilogy (from francis ford coppola) to like this. star studded - robert de niro, al pacino, joe pesci, harvey keitel. i enjoyed it... but i suspect the younger gen will not... maybe becos there is a lot of "old men" stuff in it. 3.5/5.  |

Years ago people actually wrote about films where Al Pacino and Robert De Niro both works together was a rare feat.

Things are different now when they got older. Although De Niro has lost some sparks, appeared in a few low ranking films along the way in recent years, in good hand (like Martin Scorsese), he can still shine. The Irishman needs to be enjoyed slowly, again, just like Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, the characters will grow along. Its based on real historical people, but unlike Quentine's work, Martin did not try to deviate too much from the fact, although one may argue about the authenticity of the whole film. I enjoy the film, the scripts, and the characters too. But to be honest, after years of watching Al Pacino, De Niro and older impression of Joe Pesci from the heyday of Goodfella, Casino etc, their character just need 10 minutes to form when I watch this Irishman. This is a grey factor film, ie. the lights were all focus on older actors of 1980-90's. So younger audience may not enjoy it as much. But for movie buff, do indulge in the movie full of 1960's musics, Classic Cinematographic style of Scorsese, brilliant fast paced editing by Thelma Schoonmaker and finally enjoy the almost final bit of what Scorsese, joe pesci, de niro and Pacino can offer, and most of all, all four combined, to make this I think the final swan song of 70-80's Hollywood's best. |

Freaks 2018 is one interesting movie.
it is a low budget "x-men/mutant" genre movie. while it hasn't got all the frills of x-men, it is quite good, i find. fine acting all round esp the 7 year old girl. the future of the director of this movie should be bright. 3/5.  |

couldn't wait anymore... so... watched ne zha 2019 in 1080p stereo 2.0, chinese audio+subs.
ne zha 哪吒之魔童降世 2019 is.... excellent.  anyone who knows a bit of chinese mythology and folklore will know ne zha, who may be second only to sun wukong (monkey king). the film is a chinese animation, loosely based on the novel fengshen yanyi 封神演义 or investiture of the gods, about god and demons. the ending is changed a bit from the original story... to have a happier ending, i guess. the film is very well done, great animation/cgi, very lively characters, plenty of humor - great for the whole family. the film is the 2nd highest grossing of all time in china (no. 1 being wolf warriors 2) and highest worldwide non-US animated film. i rate it a 4/5, probably the best animated film i have watched. will rewatch in 4k hd audio when available.

It is either 4 Star or 1 Star to me. More to 4 Star as make sense sometimes is not important, it just a movie. My summary view of this film. Alert: Following had some spoiler of the film. It is freaking fictional and does't make sense, he can drop from space to Earth by only wearing a space suit? I not sure what century they put, maybe it make sense in the future. But no matter how, certain plot is some how silly. Fighting in the Moon? really? The monkey attack one of the space craft and is the monkey eat them 100%? Where is the left over body... .... Cannot have emotional and this will make you disqualified to continue the journey? Lastly I think they is no security control at Mars, so easier to break in. lol. His father refuse to home because he fail to find others life. Let him be, but this will make impact to the so call interference to earth and mars where came out from that space ship where locate so far away at Neptune and need to destroy? This part is the most does't make sense at all. He basically violate the laws and kill the others and he is free from any judgement? because he success destroy it. hmm... Anyway beside all the does't make sense, the acting was great, the cinematography or CGI view was brilliant and I actually quite enjoy the view. I give it high score as 4 Star for this but If talk on make sense, this movie is 1 Star.  This post has been edited by Andrewtst: Dec 8 2019, 03:51 AM |

 Watched The Farewell this weekend. It's a comedy family drama with a very simple story line. Yet it is very strong in the acting and message. The main plot is the moral dilemma of the family, to be true or lie. It correlate deeply with asian culture. Best part of this movie is it is based on the director own family story. The movie also focus with details on some of the small everyday things, kind of like how Japanese focus it on their movie/drama/anime/manga. Rotten Tomatoes and majority of audience give it a very high score, which I fully agree to it. There's also an audio narrative of the story that helped to convince the producers to make the movie. It's less than 30 minutes. Before that she have approached plenty of producers but all turned it down because the movie is not Chinese enough nor American enough. I advise to watch the movie first before listening to the audio narrative. But do listen to the audio narrative after that as it expands and give more realism to the story. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/585/in-def...rance/act-one-7 This post has been edited by xxboxx: Dec 7 2019, 11:20 PM |

 Cornetto Trilogy - The best trilogy direct by Edgar Wright. All 5 Star. Edgar Wright is a great director and I like all his directing film.

Acting was good but just missing something on it, no sadness on it, no joy on it, it just show a simple culture differences in between different country. I do agree sometimes a good lie is good for certain situation. This movie suddenly let me remember of "The Wedding Banquet" which had similar of lie to family for the goods.

I do feel the sadness when she found out she was rejected for fellowship and when her uncle broke down and cry while giving congratulatory speech. There's joy feeling when seeing how the dog can call it's name or when the family playing drinking game. There's feeling of tense too in her family every time she started talking to her grandma, everyone were worried she will spill the bean. I feel the movie emotion is subtly portrayed, it's easy to miss it, like how her cousin face show he bottled up his feeling throughout the movie and finally broke down after too much drinking. |

If die die want to said humor, they is only one very little humor where talk about dead people. The tense feeling yes but not sadness. The acting was good but not in level to make me in sadness & feel want to cry level. Maximum I can give is 3 star because it is not good enough but not bad also. So it is in between. I know why this story get reject by many studio when the director show to studio because it is way too common, it is like watching common known Asia Family life style and tradition.

Doctor Sleep - A very well done sequel to The Shining. Mike Flanagan did a great job to balancing it on what Stanley Kubrick had change. He success convince Stephan King and did it brilliantly. 5 Star no doubt.

I know why this story get reject by many studio when the director show to studio because it is way too common, it is like watching common known Asia Family life style and tradition. But it has gotten 10 wins and 29 nominations so far so that's something I guess. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8637428/awards |

But the most ominous change has happened stealthily and under cover of night: the gradual but steady elimination of risk. Many films today are perfect products manufactured for immediate consumption. Many of them are well made by teams of talented individuals. All the same, they lack something essential to cinema: the unifying vision of an individual artist. Because, of course, the individual artist is the riskiest factor of all. I’m certainly not implying that movies should be a subsidized art form, or that they ever were. When the Hollywood studio system was still alive and well, the tension between the artists and the people who ran the business was constant and intense, but it was a productive tension that gave us some of the greatest films ever made — in the words of Bob Dylan, the best of them were “heroic and visionary.” Today, that tension is gone, and there are some in the business with absolute indifference to the very question of art and an attitude toward the history of cinema that is both dismissive and proprietary — a lethal combination. The situation, sadly, is that we now have two separate fields: There’s worldwide audiovisual entertainment, and there’s cinema. They still overlap from time to time, but that’s becoming increasingly rare. And I fear that the financial dominance of one is being used to marginalize and even belittle the existence of the other. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/04/opinion/...ese-marvel.html This post has been edited by AVFAN: Dec 9 2019, 11:25 AM |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Dec 9 2019, 11:20 AM) that can only be true. The guy that said Marvel movie are theme park ride and not cinema. which is why there are tons of movies - take yr pick! martin scorcese's opinion: As how he doesn't feel Marvel movie are cinema worthy, there's also people that feel his movie such as The Irishman are not cinema worthy. Especially more now when cinema were equipped with so many latest tech such as 3D, ATMOS, moving seat. Cinema are becoming more like a theme park ride. He'll be surprised superhero movie also can be unexpected, such as Infinity War ending. I think there's more diversity in movie these days. Like there's kids friendly superhero movie and there's for adult only superhero movie. Because of the diversity it's impossible to eliminate risk. There's people that only will watch The Irishman and there's people that only will watch Endgame. Both also have it's own risk. |

while martin scorcese makes a distinction between entertainment v cinema...
QUOTE The situation, sadly, is that we now have two separate fields: There’s worldwide audiovisual entertainment, and there’s cinema. steven spielberg made another distinction between streaming and theatrical situation. he is essentially saying films streamed on netflix and the like and not shown in cinemas do not deserve to get oscars. QUOTE Spielberg said of the films, “I don’t believe films that are just given token qualifications in a couple of theaters for less than a week should qualify for the Academy Award nomination.” He also believes that SVOD films and content will drag viewers away from theaters and damage the film industry. As the Academy Governor of the directors branch, Spielberg is now making his case before the board of governors. interesting times... i don't think they are wrong but times change, though.https://www.themarysue.com/steven-spielberg...rs-for-netflix/ the world moves on, more tech, lifestyle changes, people habits and attitudes change. like music... in the old days, the focus was on the voice, the song, the music written and played. today, the focus is on the video, on the pretty faces or shapely bodies bouncing away... even pretty boys. not many care how they sing....!!

Code 8 - Another "X-Men" film. It was ok, but it could be better. Good to watch. 3 Star.

 Watched The Favourite Dark comedy set in 18th century, it's about 2 women struggling to outdo one another to be the queen's favourite so that they have power in the castle. Starting normal, then it got strange, and stranger, and more strange keep pouring in. But the story is so engaging that you just have to see it till finish to see how it end. Director Yorgos Lanthimos live up to his reputation with how the story progress and the twist at end. All 3 ladies give a stellar acting, especially Olivia Colman. It's not a feel good movie. It's not a direct story. It's a controversial storyline that keep challenging the audience to keep up with the changes. |

Joker 2019... a film u either hate or like it.
it is one possible story about the origin of the joker (as in the batman world). it is certainly not an action flick like batman or other popular dc or marvel superhero movie. an intense psychological drama with dark moments of insanity and violence, i am not sure if it is suitable for all audiences. joaquin phoenix does well as the main character, supported by robert de niro. 3/5.  |

Joker movie is very nice. The story slowly unraveling how he become Joker, which everyone already know, and add few twist along the way to surprise the audience. When the story reach the realization part with the girl, you also realized you don't know what is real anymore, just as how Arthur view of the world. Like the picture with T.W initial, was it real or not.
I feel the character is very similar to the Joker character in The Dark Knight, which I feel is the best Joker version of all. |

QUOTE(xxboxx @ Nov 3 2019, 10:20 AM) Watched The Art of Racing in the Rain this weekend. This is one of the time when Rotten Tomatoes not inline with majority of audience. Story being told from the dog perspective, it's a family / life drama that will bring your emotion to a roller-coaster ride. The best kind of people (and dog) and the worst kind of people are very well represented in this movie. It reminds us the reality of life. Very much recommended. This is a very touching and tears emotional film. All acting very well from Dog to Actor/Actress. Highly recommended.  This post has been edited by Andrewtst: Jan 14 2020, 01:31 AM |

Ya, it's a really great movie. The way it's story being told is also a refreshing from other movie. Unfortunately most reviewers give it low score might be the reason many give this movie a pass.

terminator: dark fate is the 6th instalment of the Terminator franchise.
expectations were high, esp when they bring back linda hamilton and schwarzenegger, story written by james cameron. while many say it is like a direct sequel to T1 and T2, i find it more like a T2 reimagined. no spoilers, but u will know what i mean after u watched it... and dun miss the first 5 min... which is the key to the story. plenty of action, lots of destruction, pretty good CGI.... although i find it can be done better. this film cost $200 million, a box office bomb, lost money. 3/5. my view - they should stop making anymore T movies with the same storyline and move on to a completely diff one.  |

QUOTE(rx330 @ Jan 17 2020, 10:13 AM) it bombed ar? didn't know that Beside The Terminator, others start from T2 to latest all bomb in box office in US but gain gross in worldwide.watched this in Thai cinema , boy its expensive there  This post has been edited by Andrewtst: Jan 20 2020, 12:32 AM |

T-quiz..... what Terminators do u know?

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Dec 9 2019, 02:23 AM) Doctor Sleep - A very well done sequel to The Shining. Mike Flanagan did a great job to balancing it on what Stanley Kubrick had change. He success convince Stephan King and did it brilliantly. 5 Star no doubt. Doctor Sleep... i didn't find it that good... much like a poor CGI vampire movie not unlike one of the Underworld flicks.3 hours long, it does a decent job to build up the characters before the spooks begin. if one hasn't just watched The Shining, one will struggle with how this is a sequel, what are the connections. fine performance by evan mcgregor and rebecca ferguson. 3/5. about stephen king stories, there is currently a TV series The Outsider running - this one is creepy enough.

 Abominable (2019) Dreamworks had started to work on this since 2010. Jill Culton, director, started on it in 2016, left and than came back!! Movie take place in China and it turns out that the teenagers are exactly like American teenagers.... What the movie lack in authentic Chinese characters development, it made up in showing the beauty of China (Not Chinese geography but the scenery) Also, speaking of geography because a map was shown in the movie, containing the controversial nine dash lines, alot of Asian countries took offence and "boycotted" the movie. Sad when things turn political and a shame, because this movie is simply... gorgeous! Literally! Beautiful beautiful graphics. Great soundtrack. Story is... unique enough. I understand that Toy Story 5 and Angry Birds 2 are being reviewed as reference video for displays, I believe this will be at par is not slightly better compared to the first two movie. Why, when the action happens, it is very fast pace. Picture to me reference Sound has an amazing sound track that tugs at your heartstrings My Two Sen |

Ford v Ferrari is a great drama-action film.
the story behind the legends - caroll shelby, ken miles, henry ford II, lee iacocca... and the famed ford mustang-shelby american. great performances from matt damon, christian bale, jon bernthal, josh lucas. not a racing car fan but still enjoyed it v much. 3.5/5.  |

Something very long with this 120fps camera, the background look fall down. The effect look cheap. The cinematographer is lost scenes of beauty. One of the worst movie of the year 2019. I give it 1 star. The camera man had no sense of beauty. Yark! Too emphasis on 3D feel which make the entire shot too many blocking and Yark! Sorry to said two times of Yark! Haha! It is 3 times now.

Midway 2019 is good.
i don't quite remember battle of midway 1976 but it's the same historical event in june 1942. this roland emmerich movie is pretty good with its aerial fights, the plane dives, plane crashes... more action than pearl harbor 2001 or dunkirk 2017 but i find the character building lacking... may have been better it was 3hrs long rather than 2+. maybe too many characters... and it's star studded - Patrick Wilson, Luke Evans, Aaron Eckhart, Woody Harrelson, Dennis Quaid... and Ed Skrein (zapan in alita), Luke Kleintank (man in the high castle), Tadanobu Asano (battleship, mongol). said to be historically accurate, costly independent film costing $100mil. 3.5/5.

here is one good movie - Knives Out.
not syfy, not thriller, not superhero, not action... but a great crime-mystery-comedy movie... reminds u of the old agatha christie stories. the tension and mystery keeps going... until all is revealed only at the very end. an ensemble cast incl daniel craig, chris evans, christopher plummer, michael shannon, don johnson. and a rising star - Ana de Armas - "joi" the AI hologram in blade runner 2049. a sequel is planned. and supposedly a franchise being built around the lead character - private detective Benoit Blanc. for its superb script, screenplay, suspense and acting, i give it a 4/5.  |

Just finish watch Dolittle. It could be better, this movie had no soul. 2 Star.
The film's cast includes five Oscar winners: Rami Malek, Jim Broadbent, Emma Thompson, Octavia Spencer, and Marion Cotillard; and four Oscar nominees: Robert Downey Jr., Antonio Banderas, Ralph Fiennes, and Kumail Nanjiani ALSO CAN'T HELP IT.

When I first start watching Jojo Rabbit, I was like since when such type of film will be nominees as Best Picture in Oscar Academy Award but ... this is a comedy that bring you tears and joy. It is a great film and deserve the nomination. 4 Star.

 finally get to watch this film. I started the film without reading any synopsis. Initially thought either matt damon / christian bale is on ferrari and another one is on ford. But the story tells different thing. My rating for the film: Storyline: 4/5 PQ: 4/5 SQ: 5/5 (on my 5.1 system) Will i recommend the movie: Yes, if you likes cars. Both matt and christian are good actors. |

Jojo Rabbit
I actually enjoyed every bit of it. Like Life is Beautiful (1998), it gives a light take on a serious subject of the Nazi Germany, based on the viewpoint of a little child. Except that Jojo Rabbit is probably lighter, more pleasant, and more colourful. I viewed it with my children, with a few guidance on one strong language and a bloodless kill on a small animal, I would think that it suits anyone older than 10. My kid certainly enjoyed the film, along with voluntary discussion from them about Nazi Germany, who is Jew and its historical reason on their persecution etc.. Overall a great movie (with some guidance) for the whole family. |

Either Ang Lee hired bad camera man or that 120fps camera is trash! |

Needful Things (1993) (Addendum)
This movie is one of my favorite horror movie. This horror is not the in your face horror like Freddie Kruger. Instead horror here is expressed by how people treat people.... Yes, the devil is in this movie. And no... all the horror in this movie, is not done by the devil per say, let me break one of my own law of not revealing any plot in my review here by stating in this movie, the devil tempts you by flaming your greed and getting you to decide what choices you make. For a full break down/comparison between the original release and this TV Extended Cut (eg director's cut) please goto the below link Needful Things Theatrical Version vs TBS Extended Version I cannot tell you how happy I am to discover this "new release", because it allows me to see new scenes that I have never imagine existed, for a movie that I really like. How is this cut compared with the original cut, the original cut flows much better and does the story telling efficiently. The director's cut is 3 hours long and gives alot of background details for the different character, and as the name suggest, works better and a TV cut. I finally understood the significance of the bronze bell on top of the door, in the shop Needful Things. The original cut, seem like a remaster to me, picture wise, this movie never looked better My only let down was the audio is DTS Master Audio, stereo only... If you are a fan, or if you have not seen this movie before, I really recommend this movie. My Two Sen |

This two weeks I am actually test many films in my new purchase and my 1st OLED TV - LG C9. Here I shared my short review not in technical.
I know this is not the place for share TV review but I just like to point out, if you are videophile and enthusiast on films, I suggest you go ahead for OLED or future MicroLED instead of LED backlight LCD or lower end QLED or future Mini-LED. I very thanks to Harvey Norman promotion, if without it I probably won't have OLED TV due to it origin cost is damn expensive. Even after promotion still expensive but frank speak, I had no single regret at all. OLED is just something freaking spectacular and wow! After owning it, now i know why many OLED owner said LCD is suck especially on HDR, now I am believing it. The only LCD can comparable with OLED now is Samsung QLED Q90 series, yes only Q90 series, lower than it is no way match especially the entry Q60 series. But how good QLED, it still got some gray uniformity issues at the edges. OK talk back to OLED, why it is spectacular.
Beside this, thanks to it new HDMI 2.1 and also eARC support, now I can input total 4 devices and all can pass thru my LG SK9Y soundbar without any delay issue. This is totally solved my previous issue where only 1 device can be connected. Also not forgetting the best ever did remote control - Magic Remote which act as normal remote + air mouse gesture. Simply awesome! Any cons? I can't think any of it, I don't put possibility burn-in as cons as this is something every manufacturing trying the best to prevent it and I believe it simply fixed now or very hard to burn-in. I love my OLED TV now so much especially dark scenes no longer an issue anymore and HDR quality is definitely huge jump!  This post has been edited by Andrewtst: Mar 2 2020, 01:22 AM |

Charlie's Angels (2019)
Okay... So... This happened... I... am lost for words... This did the impossible... It makes the Charlie's Angels (2000) and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) looks like masterpieces of cinema... (They were entertaining, not masterpieces of cinema) What was Elizabeth Banks thinking! What was Drew Barrymore (executive producer) thinking!?! I am now afraid for He-Man, Master of the Universe (who is actually in this... Noah Centineo, and Sony is making it). What the heck is Sam Claflin doing in this!!?! And Sir Patrick Steward... I really REALLY hope he at least got a lot of remuneration for this!!!!! It only bright spot is Jonathan Tucker proves that he can managed baddie roles.. Bad script, really REALLY bad script. This movie... is a disaster. This is Just My Two Sen. I am so distracted by how bad this movie is to pay attention to the picture and sound quality, and I am not brave enough to revisit to find out... So sorry... |

Just finish watch 1917. I find this movie is over hype. Yes the acting is brilliant, the cinematography is astonishing! But I give it max 3 Star.
Definitely not the best movie I seen in year 2019 and not good enough to be win for Best Picture, basically I find it not good enough for even nominees. But I do agreed it deserved to win the Best Cinematography! One of the fine demo film for Visual and Audio. Outstanding Video and Audio quality!

Little Women (2019)
This is NOT for everyone. Believe it or not, this is the third movie version I have seen of this. I had seen Little Women (1949) in Australia on TV. I had seen Little Women (1994) (with Winona Ryder & Christian Bale) which I thought was quite definitive! So when I heard about this, I went like, what else can they add to this? How this separates itself from it previous incarnation is, by jumping between what once was and what is "now". And to not confused the viewers, the cinematographer cleverly uses warm tones for the past scenes and a blue/realistic tone for the "now" scenes. I have to state upfront that Saoirse Ronan (I remember her from Lovely Bones) as Jo March, And every other cast did their roles beautifully. I do have one comment about the casting and will revisit later in this review. Her scenes with Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence (Timothée Chalamet) is very current and they can always be who they really are with each other, and still at the end... I will not spoil it for you. Filmed entirely in Massachusetts, this movie is gorgeous. Supposedly, Emma Stone was supposed to play Meg March, and because of a scheduling conflict, Emma Watson was cast to play the said role Which brings me to my "issue", aesthetically Saoirse Ronan[ looks older then Emma Watson, and Meg is the older sister. Also when Meg stood next to John Brooke (played by James Norton) the difference in their ages was a little concerning... Smae with Timothée Chalamet. Playing the younger Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence and when the more mature Laure was to appear... I am however nitpicking, this is a good movie. Not for EVERYONE, but I like it. This is not a blu-ray release. I VOD this. So, if this is your cup of tea, by all means, ENJOY. AS a;ways My Two Sen |

Apple tv box price similar to nvidia shield right? Infuse Pro quite exp They is no DV version even remux, but those rip is proper rip with metadata copy in. I not so sure how is it and not sure it is true or not but I don't have issue playback and output is freaking awesome. So ur Infuse Pro can directly play from ur PC?You will facing playback issue on Plex when the file is remux copy which is original uncompressed version. I can playback using Infuse Pro directly from PC file via wired network perfectly thru AppleTV 4K box. Do remember you must connect the AppleTV to Soundbar as AppleTV only support output as 5.1 or more PCM format, you cannot directly connect to LG C9 HDMI as C9 got issue where when you change to PCM then the Dolby Atmos is not working, if choose auto, it playback as Dolby Digital where is compress sound format for all none Dolby Atmos track. So connect directly to soundbar that is support more than 5.1 PCM will prevent the issue of downgrade to Dolby Digital lossy format. Apple TV only support Dolby Atmos in Digital Plus format not the TrueHD as Apple refuse support it, the box is capable but apple block it. So you need to ensure your sound system support 5.1 or more channel in PCM format. I buy life time version instead of subscription version of Infuse Pro.

star wars ix: rise of skywallker is good.
i find it the best of the trilogy 7-8-9... 4/5. the story completes and ends with a happy ending... mostly. the cgi and special effects are excellent in the last 20 mins or so. not to spoil it.. i will just leave it with this part i like the most... "I am all sith" vs "and I am all jedi". so, the 3 x 3 trilogies come to a close. if any spinoff movie, my bet is it will be The Mandalorian.... since solo is a dead duck.  |

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Mar 22 2020, 09:30 PM) Bro, this one u watch using blu-ray or what software is that? i watched using Plex, but dunno why the color jalan.. the file is mkv with 10bit HDR x265 one.. I actually like this film. Its not meant to be a film about an earth shattering event, but more like a seemingly insignificant event but we get to follow the sequence in which it unfolded continuously. So its very enjoyable if we watch it as a spectator with little expectation.Great editing which made it looked like a continuous uncut film except perhaps once or twice. This film reminded me of Gravity which has good cinematography (I think anyway) and the soundtrack added into the tension greatly. For me 1917's soundtrack played a significant part. |

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Mar 22 2020, 09:54 PM) They is no DV version even remux, but those rip is proper rip with metadata copy in. I not so sure how is it and not sure it is true or not but I don't have issue playback and output is freaking awesome. i see.. yeah but now most rip is only HDR10+ at most. too bad lg c9 doesnt support HDR10+, not sure how much we losing out on this but i guess it is not too much. Ouch the AppleTV macam ini.. maybe need think twice.. actually my setup currently also cannot support atmos.. but i am trying to get a good soundbar in near future la.. cos ARC also means i losing out on TrueHD etc.. Probably i pull a HDMI cable from my PC to get direct output.. if not need to get nvidia shield..You will facing playback issue on Plex when the file is remux copy which is original uncompressed version. I can playback using Infuse Pro directly from PC file via wired network perfectly thru AppleTV 4K box. Do remember you must connect the AppleTV to Soundbar as AppleTV only support output as 5.1 or more PCM format, you cannot directly connect to LG C9 HDMI as C9 got issue where when you change to PCM then the Dolby Atmos is not working, if choose auto, it playback as Dolby Digital where is compress sound format for all none Dolby Atmos track. So connect directly to soundbar that is support more than 5.1 PCM will prevent the issue of downgrade to Dolby Digital lossy format. Apple TV only support Dolby Atmos in Digital Plus format not the TrueHD as Apple refuse support it, the box is capable but apple block it. So you need to ensure your sound system support 5.1 or more channel in PCM format. I buy life time version instead of subscription version of Infuse Pro. |

Knives Out (2019)
Okay! I admitted it, I am a BIG murder mystery fan. I love the last Murder On The Orient Express (2017) based of an Agatha Christie's book. I am looking forward to Murder on the Nile. Columbo, A Murder She Wrote (that was an easter egg on this), Monk Alfred Hitchcock, et cetera, et cetera. Rian Johnson (director) seems to be a dirty name to Star Wars fan (because of the diversive Last Jedi), this movie proves he is an amazing director. To... purge himself of the Star Wars project, he did this. A story he had been toying with for a long time! What a story!! The Cast, of my goodness, the cast, here is who is in this? Daniel Craig (as Benoit Blanc) Chris Evans (as Ransom Drysdale) Ana de Armas (as Marta Cabrera) Jamie Lee Curtis (as Linda Drysdale) Michael Shannon (as Walt Thrombey) Don Johnson (as Richard Drysdale) Toni Collette (as Joni Thrombey) LaKeith Stanfield (as Lieutenant Elliott) Christopher Plummer (as Harlan Thrombey) Jaeden Martell (the kid from IT) (as Jacob Thrombey) Mind Blown!!! Everyone one BROUGHT IT!! Not in a competitive but a complimentary way. Chris Evans has proven there are good roles after Captain America. Christopher Plummer is still so good. Ana de Armas a relatively new actress and went toe to toe with all these veteran actors!! Daniel Craig, why I do declare, is he s southern colonel here!!?! I don't want to spoil this for you. Watch this. You will not regret it Video EXCELLENT Sound Good My Two Sen |

Bloodshot... is ok, but could have been better. 2.5/5.
bloodshot is a valiant comics character, not so well known like those from dc or marvel. vin diesel did ok, old school action; stars guy pearce as well. given it is a box office bomb, unsure if there will be more as sequels or others from the franchise.  extra... westworld season 3 is on. if u liked s1, s2, u gotta watch s3. new characters incl aaron paul (breaking bad), vincent cassel (black swan, jason bourne) i already like it when it starts to go down the matrix rabbit hole - real world, westworld, simulated constructs. |

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Dec 9 2019, 02:23 AM) Doctor Sleep - A very well done sequel to The Shining. Mike Flanagan did a great job to balancing it on what Stanley Kubrick had change. He success convince Stephan King and did it brilliantly. 5 Star no doubt. I watched Doctor Sleep last night.Ok I admit I'm very slow ... LOL I love it especially the surround sound effects.I watched the 3 hour director's cut version with Dolby Atmos audio. The surround sounds is superb. Very immersive. The surround sound effects really places the viewer into the movie stage Horror movies makes the best use of ceiling sound effects. Action movies tends to very loud impact sound effects all over the place, hence the surround effects are not so obvious. Horror movies makes use of the surround effects better and the sound coming from above, behind or sides are clear. |

QUOTE(rx330 @ Apr 6 2020, 12:08 PM) good to see u guys still here watching movies "imprisoned" at home.... what else better to do but watch MORE tv?! stars wars was quite enjoyable after star wars9, there aren't any great movies. and will need to wait long time since many big movies now delayed, not screened due to covid19. anyway... briefly: .. bad boys for life - 3/5, ok but has little charm left. .. underwater - 2.5/5, disappointing syfy horror, nothing close to alien series or the like. .. sonic hedgehog - 2.5/5, ok for family, light fun... sequel planned. .. miss & mrs cops - 2.5/5, korean, not so funny action comedy. .. escape from pretoria - 3/5... 70's true story, apartheid era in south africa.. reasonable thriller. .. gretel and hansel - 2.5/5, a kid's bedtime story twisted into a horror movie. .. the captain - 3/5, chinese action drama, true 2018 flight incident, quite dramatic but subpar animation/effects. during this period, i find better quality in tv shows: .. homeland... final season. .. devs - s1, very creative... syfy, quantum theory-crime thriller. .. westworld s3... the story now expanded way beyond the original 1973 movie; highly creative with current AI/robotics tech knowledge. .. kurulus osman... turkish historical drama, sequel to dirilis etrugrul - foundations of the ottoman empire, byzantine, mongols. .. kalifat (caliphate) s1, netflix swedish series... political drama/thriller. .. fauda s3... coming april 16 on netflix... israel action thriller. and if u have not watched CONTAGION 2011, please do. i watched it years ago, dun remember much, just rewatched it. an instant reminder that many things were envisioned/known 9 years ago. in the movie, it was MEV-1, today we have COVID-19. at that time, "R0", "fomite", "social distancing", "human receptor cells", "bats&pig" already exist in cinema stories. highly relevant now.

I just watch a SD film and I notice it is watchable, the upscale did by C9 is far better than my previous TV also.  no wonder they don want to pay additional fee to HDR10+ lol. They say is free but actually to use HDR10+ they need pay annual subscription fee.Watched the great battle korean movie in 1080p no HDR. It is historical story, felt abit like 300 to me lol. Gonna re-watch godzilla in HDR |

Ford Vs Ferrari (2019)
I don't like war movies. I don't like sports movies. 2019 did something strange to me... I absolutely love 1917 and now, I also absolutely love Ford Vs Ferrari!!! You CAN teach old dogs new tricks... Originally, the intention was to get Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt to star in this. This movie ended up with Christian Bale and Matt Damon, and my goodness, they are magnificent!! Ferrari has a racing pedigree. Ford has mass production, American know how and We can do anything if we put our minds to it pedigree... In the 60s, Ferrari was on the verge of financial ruin and Ford wanted in, at the racing arena. Ford offered to buy Ferrari, they pitch them an offer, which Ford thought Ferrari could not refuse. Fiat caught wind of this, and gave Ferrari a better offer, and Enzo Ferrari not only drop Ford's offer like a hot potato, he let Ford company know what he really thought about them and their owner (eg. Not flattering). Henry Ford II took it personally and decided to hit back at where it will hurt Ferrari, by winning the Le Mans racing... Ford started a racing division and invited the only American Le Mans winner Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) to be part of the racing car design team. Carroll Shelby invited British driver Ken Miles (Christian Bale) to be in this team as well... Will the mavericks survive the corporate culture of Ford Motors? This movie grabbed me (in a good way) from the start to finished. Oh Noah Jupe is Peter Miles (Ken's son) in this. Jon Bernthal, Caitriona Balfe and Josh Lucas all brought their A game!! So to sum up this movie, I will subject you to my singing, I'm H-A-P-P-Y, I'm H-A-P-P-Y, I know I am, I'm sure I am, I'm H-A-P-P-Y! I watched this on 4K, Picture and sound, pretty good. That, is my Two Sen |

This straight to disc / streaming animation actually done very well. In fact the best Mortal Kombat film ever make. Very pretty graphics but extremely violence and brutal. The 1st and only R rated Mortal Kombat film.  |

I watch it without internet, I watch locally, it is not good. Plex totally cannot compare with Infuse.I am playing it without transcode. Once you use Infuse, you will notice how lousy Plex are. 1) The sound quality output is not as good as Infuse on Apple TV 4K. 2) The subtitle control is bad, too big and unable to adjust to bottom like Infuse. 3) Finding subtitle is not good also, not as many as Infuse get. 4) Plex in Mi Box S, 99% cannot play. Plex in LG and Panasonic TV, cannot play in proper for Full Remux 4K HDR format. I only manage to play it ok in Apple TV 4K, it is ok but not perfect like Infuse, sometimes frame jump on Full Remux 4K HDR video. Above is the reason I won't use Plex to playback as it is not as great as Infuse which is 0 issue, superb smooth and sound output from Infuse is decent. Also visually seems Infuse is better also. My software always up-to-date, and I am Plex Pass also, but sorry la, Infuse Pro is the best player to me. Every time when Plex release new version I will test it out but every time Plex let me down. Haha! The only thing I like in Plex is there is A,B,C selection at scroll bar, this is the thing many people request but Infuse refuse to add this useful little feature.

The Call of the Wild - This is not stunning but not bad either. I give it 3 Star.
I not sure how many part of this movie was real, I know the Dog - Buck is CGI, actually all animal is CGI. I think the scenery had CGI tough up as well, or the weather is CGI touch up also. Anyway don't believe the trailer, it has been greatly enhance in actual film, the CGI is ok. I cannot said it is very real as you know it is CGI, probably the expression a bit over done. But it was OK and I am agree why it choose CGI over real dog. This film act is danger if using real dog as it may harm the dog.  This post has been edited by Andrewtst: May 7 2020, 05:12 PM |

Story from same writer as Gomorrah, another good crime movie. the lodge seems to be low budget horror too.. i catch the trailer but haven really decide if i m going to watch it... what you think? agree with extraction scripting wise is not exciting.. same like old time rambo.. they only focus on the firepower and explosion.. unlike Daylight (1996) by Sylvester Stallone too.. recommend if anyone who havent watch this.  |

Finally finish watching following both.
Suicide Squad - 2.5 Star. This movie was fun to watch but some logic is dumb. It is kind of dark in entire movie. I find Jared Leto is kind of poor, he supposedly the important evil role but he is like guess, some how not important at all. His Joker acting was good but if you ask me to choose, I prefer Joaquin Phoenix version. Jared Leto version some how do very match with Harley Quinn but not the one I prefer. Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) - 3.5 Star. This is enjoyable and fun. The movie is pretty with vivid color here and there. At least this one is not that dumb, as usual Ewan McGregor acting is brilliant. Overall this is much better than Suicide Squad.   This post has been edited by Andrewtst: May 9 2020, 04:36 PM |

Finally finished the entire DCEU in 4K HDR REMUX.
Here is my preferable watching sequence. 1) Wonder Woman - She appear the earliest in year 1918. 2) Man of Steel - Story later on continue from here the Superman. 3) Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - This is continue from Man of Steel, also the start of Batman Justice. 4) Justice League - This is continue from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. 5) Aquaman - Aquaman is here because it is continue from Justice League where he is not yet a king. 6) Shazam! - This is not really connected to above yet but the extra after end is connecting to it soon. 7) Suicide Squad - This is like another story part where directly connected to Batman & Joker. 8) Birds of Prey - This is continue story of Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad. Can't wait for the next phase of DCEU which start from WW 1984, this should probably slot in after Wonder Woman.  This post has been edited by Andrewtst: May 11 2020, 07:35 PM |

Superman The Movie - 3.5 Star.
Who ever did this restoration to 4K should get fired! The worst 4K transfer I ever seen, it is so inconsistence, certain scenes is freaking noise + color noise, the beginning krypton world is like colorless. I check blu-ray.com, many mentioned remember it is not that colorless, but then the sun is over vivid. In certain scenes, a camera scenes turn make it from vivid to dull. This group of people do the restoration better resign and stop doing any others film restoration. Story - 3.5 Star Video Quality - 2.5 Star Sound Quality - 4.5 Star  This post has been edited by Andrewtst: May 12 2020, 09:55 PM |

Dolittle - 3.5 Star.
I give 2 Star previously but I find it actually quite ok after 2nd time watching. The main issue to me is still Robert Downey, the way he talk in this movie is like reading bed time storybook. Story - 3.5 Star Video Quality - 5 Star Sound Quality - 4 Star  |

Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (2020)
I say this once, I say this again, Warner Bros. Animation in terms of story telling, is running rings around the Warner Bros Feature Films. It really did go... dark. Darkseid mixed Doomsday into his Para-Demons, making them, Para-Dooms. And the main characters here are John Constantine and the magical characters from DC... So what happened to the other heroes? Superman Batman Shazam Green Lantern Wonder Woman Hawkman Nightwing The Flash etc? Well... Seeing would be believing... I don't want to spoil this for you, if you like DC and you like the animation done by DC so far, you should like this. Saw this on 1080p, video and sound is actually good.

Trolls World Tour (2020)
Director: Walt Dohrn Voice Actors: Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, James Corden, Sam Rockwell, Kelly Clarkson and many many more... This is basically one continuous music video, one after another, squandering all the talents above... Why???? And having Kenan Thompson as Tiny Diamond, a comic relieve, in a basically light-hearted, techno-colored, endless music videos, is just so... pointless. So in short, lots of talents in an ultra sugar coated MTV. You should have a glazed over look on your face while you watch this.

Scoob! (2020)
Okay! Another V.O.D. animation (well at least in the States), this time spreadheaded by Scooby Doo. Another origins movie (about how Scooby Dobby Doo and Shaggy ended up as besties) Truth to be told, there really is no reason for any form of continuity for Scooby and Gang, each has its merit (or otherwise) and truthfully, I... am getting ahead of myself! It does actually channel the "spirit" of the original Scooby Doo TV series and surprisingly, updates the different characters to more present day environment... This movie is also attempting to expend the universe of Scooby Doo (basically all the Hanna Barbera series, may in the future, appear in Scooby Doo as well), which is great! Scooby Doo's... heritage is surprisingly also touch on, and what a heritage it is! Who knows, maybe in the next one, Shaggy's heritage maybe revealed! II actually enjoyed this. I hope they make more, along the lines of this, in the future. My Two Sen This post has been edited by Mov_freak: May 21 2020, 09:52 PM |

Just finish watched Cursed Films. Nice documentary, mostly all story I already known, but watching it with supporting video and actual related person talk is different feel. Overall I give it 4.5 Star.
If you never know any "curse" of them, I think Episode 3 and 5 will shocking you. I feel sympathy and sad for the dead of actor/actress in Episode 3, 4 and 5.  This post has been edited by Andrewtst: May 20 2020, 12:01 AM |

two very well known actors in this one - Lee Byung-hun (magnificent 7, terminator genisys and Ha Jung-woo (Along with the Gods) the script could have been a better written but is compensated by good actors and decent CGI. 3/5.  |

 Call Of The Wild (2020) A movie, is a tool to tell a story (which I believe alot of director have forgotten how to do one properly). A book is also a tool to tell a story. There are differences between the two, 1). A "Hollywood" movie is usually 1 and a half hour to 3 hours. They usually have 3 acts. They almost always have a handsome lead actor and lead actress and in alot of case, they end up together at the end. Whereas in a book, some might argue as formula to them nowadays, I feel has more freedom and writers can allow their imagine run wild. 2). The viewer, at least in the cinema, usually absorb the story in one seating. The book can been put down when the reader, gets bored, does not agree with the book or time does not allow the reader to continue. 3). Movie is constrain by budget, and therefore what it can put on the screen A book can be as big as they want, as weird as they want and as alien as they want, as long as the writer does not run out of ink and paper... So there are differences between the two media. Why am I going on and on about this. There is a love/hate relationship between a book and movie. Books are often adapted for movies. And movies, can inspired continuation in books. This movie is a book to movie adaptation. It is NOT the first book to movie adaption and have to add, it is one of the more complete, meaning the whole book is adapted into this one movie. And boy is it a well done job. Absolutely gorgeous production. Harrison Ford had not lead a movie for sometime now, and he still "got it". There are complains that all the dogs here are C.G.I.ed and the complain it that they should have shot it with real life dogs. The directors of this movie specifically wanted to tell the story from the P.O.V. of Buck (the main dog) and I do not think a really dog could have achieve what the C.G.I dog did. It is unfortunate that the movie was release just as most countries when into Lockdown (and hence the cinemas were closed down) Because otherwise,, this would have made way more money that it did. I watched this in 1080p and the video and sound is excellent. I understand the 4K version is even more visually stunning and I cannot wait. I strongly recommend you watch this. You will enjoy it.

The directors of this movie specifically wanted to tell the story from the P.O.V. of Buck (the main dog) and I do not think a really dog could have achieve what the C.G.I dog did. It is unfortunate that the movie was release just as most countries when into Lockdown (and hence the cinemas were closed down) Because otherwise,, this would have made way more money that it did. I watched this in 1080p and the video and sound is excellent. I understand the 4K version is even more visually stunning and I cannot wait. I strongly recommend you watch this. You will enjoy it.

 To me this is one of the better recent movies, much better than some over hype real people movie. I watched in 4k n yes it is beautiful n the sound is good. I think the critics didn’t do justice to it bcos of CGI but personally l love Buck. Quite touching if u r a dog lover. I appreciate the movie so much, l went on to watch Coco 2017 which l missed earlier. These two animate movies made me wonder how come cartoons are better than real people acting. My two sen.  |

if u like chinese fantasy martial arts movies, here's a good one - Jade Dynasty I 诛仙.
the story is similar to, same genre as, Legend of Zu 蜀山. character building is a bit poor except for the main one. CGI, special effects, HD audio - excellent. directed by well known Ching Siu-tung. stars... all new ones, i dunno them. 3.5/5. a sequel is said to be in the making box office, it did very well in china and thailand apparently.  |

QUOTE(Mov_freak @ May 16 2020, 12:32 PM) Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (2020) Thanks for intro this Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, surprisingly this was very good. 4 Star.I say this once, I say this again, Warner Bros. Animation in terms of story telling, is running rings around the Warner Bros Feature Films. It really did go... dark. I don't want to spoil this for you, if you like DC and you like the animation done by DC so far, you should like this. Saw this on 1080p, video and sound is actually good.

Chasing the Dragon II: Wild Wild Bunch is a chinese crime action movie.
it is a sequel to chasing the dragon (donnie yen, andy lau) in name only; they're not connected at all. stars leung ka-fai, luis koo, simon yam, gordon lam - all veterans of this hk-canto-crime genre films. nothing spectacular but is watchable like all those before it. 3/5.  |

Just finish watch Batman Hush - 3.5 Star.
Great storyline but I dislike this kind of animation where they draw the thing not sharp but a little bit blur blur most the time. This part make me give lower scores a bit than suppose 4 star as it make me feel tired watching it.  This post has been edited by Andrewtst: May 25 2020, 03:18 AM |

Cold Creek Manor (2003)
Director: Mike Figgis Starring: Dennis Quaid, Sharon Stone, Stephen Dorff, Juliette Lewis, Kristen Stewart, Christopher Plummer Genre: Drama, Mystery, Thriller Okay, I am actually a fan of Dennis Quaid. Not so much of Sharon Stone. This movie does not be familiar to many a person. Honestly, in 2003, when I read/heard the title, I thought it was a horror movie. Turns out to be not horror but a thriller. This has a very young Kristen Stewart. The plot line is basically, what if you bought a house from a bank auction, you move in, and the previous owner is NOT too happy with it... Director Mike Figgis did not do much after this movie (Mainly in documentary) Direction is actually decent. Plot is good Most of the actors did their part. One important role was badly cast, and it is the role of the wife, Leah Tilson, played by Sharon Stone, who is quite rightly named. She does not come acrossed as motherly... good wifey... etc. The deleted scenes did show that originally, the intention was for her role to go another direction, and in the editing, they wanted she to come acrossed more... sympathetic, and have to add, I did not find it convincing... And also in the deleted scene, I like the alternative ending better than what was the ed result, C'est la vie. So, people like ratings here... I will give this a 2.9 out of a 5 Watched this on 1080p Video 3 out of 5 Sound is 3.5 out of 5 My Two Sen |

Along Came a Spider (2001)
Director: Lee Tamahori Stars: Morgan Freeman, Michael Wincott, Monica Potter, Mika Boorem, Anton Yelchin Genre: Drama, Thriller Who here does not like Morgan Freeman, here? Okay, granted, he was in movies like Olympus Has Fallen etc, and have to add everyone's got to eat... It is investigative. It has a VERY young Anton Yelchin (whom I did not recognized). You feel for the little girl who got kidnapped. Morgan Freeman plays the FBI investigator, Alex Cross who is trying to rescue her from the kidnapper and then THAT happened? Again one of the little gems that got lost in the crowd, that I feel deserves some mention. I rated this a 3.5 out of 5 I watched this in 1080p Video is actually 4 out of 5 (I really like the depth of the picture here) Sound is 3.5 out of 5 My Two Sen |

Date Movie (2006)
Directors: Aaron Seltzer, Jason Friedberg Stars: Alyson Hannigan, Adam Campbell, Fred Willard, Sophie Monk, Jennifer Coolidge (American Pie anyone?) This movie is a satiric look at... comedies?? Namely, Shallow Hal (2001) Meet the Parents (2000) Dodgeball (2004) Meet the Fockers (2004) Bridget Jones's Diary (2001) Hitch (2005) My Best Friend's Wedding (1997) etc It is actually quite painful to watch. Adam Campbell did not do a good job. He was terrible here... One would watch this is they want to see Sophie Monk I supposed... Wait, they even make fun of King Kong (2005) here... My Rating 2 out of 5 Video is 3 out of 5 Sound is 3 out of 5 My Two Sen |

Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
Director: Jeff Fowler Stars: Ben Schwartz, James Marsden, Jim Carrey, Tika Sumpter 2020, has been a... bummer so far. Having said that, for what movies we were able to get so far, has turned out to be... good! I had been putting off this movie for a while, because believe it or not, the awful awful Mario Bros. movie is still burn into my brains. I overcame my fear and gave it a spin yesterday, and found myself absolutely entertained by this. Merit where merit is due, this movie would not be half as entertaining, without the quirky Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik. He is back in his goofy glory, for all to see! I've missed him. Welcome back, Jim. Always good to see James Marsden in a movie. I also understand from further reading that the original rendering of the C.G.I. Sonic had alot of fans up in arms... Well, from what I can see in the movie, it is very true to it's video game counterpart, so it got fixed. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 anyone? My rating: 3.5 out of 5 I watched this in 1080p Video 4 out of 5 Sound 4 out of 5 My Two Sen |

I freaking like this, I find the storyline here is better than human edition. Awesome Drawing & CGI, Video and Audio quality.  Justice League: Throne of Atlantis - 3.5 Star. Certain storyline I prefer here, certain I prefer the human edition. Haha!  Freedom Fighters: The Ray - 3.5 Star. This is on Arrowverse series, it actually ok but I think most parents not going to like it as their kids may ask a lot of question. It is animation, I think the talk and act on LGBT is a bit too many on this, also it is quite brutal. This is adult animation to me.  Green Lantern: Emerald Knights - 3 Star. This is the only DC Comics animation I ever watch before previously. I re-watch it as I enjoy the colorful of this. Haha! Not high score for this as I find it is too much and too long on introduce each character.  Justice League: The New Frontier - 3 Star. It was ok, not brilliant, just ok.

Im not sure they improve or not , but it deem too fake or comically to me I think just like Hollywood. Initially CGI when it began, too much focus on CGi diluted the story line and the human aspect of the movies. They will slowly evolve once they noticed too much of it will just dull the whole experience. We need something like Forest Gump from the chinese movie with CGI, where character development, storyline and, one word - 'soul' of a movie can be refocused. |

The Mask of Zorro (1998)
Director: Martin Campbell Stars: Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones This movie was a hit in 1998 It has a good script. It has a great cast. Martin Campbell (director of James Bond Movies) directed this (bare inn mind, he also did Green Lantern 2011). It is obvious he is movie comfortable with this material, compared with that. The main 3 leads did a great job, with their roles. To top it off, it had a great theme song, I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You, performed by Marc Anthony and Tina Arena. A power ballad that still works today. This cost Sony USD 98,000,000 to produced (which is USD156,128,034.72 adjusted to inflation, in 2020) and made worldwide it made USD250,000,000.00 (which is USD398,285,802.85 adjusted to inflation, in 2020). Not Avatar of Endgame standards, and I believe back then, marketing a movie is not as extravagant as it is now, so it was a money maker for Sony For the uninitiated, this is a fun sword-swashing movie, for all ages. It is recently re-issued in 4K and I am amazed. Watch this if you can. I rate this at 3.8 out of 5. Video 4.5 out of 5 Sound 4 out of 5 My Two Sen |
