I thought this might be a fun ongoing thread. You get to see what others are watching and may find a new movie for your collection. New, old, color, B&W, foreign, concert or whatever...its all good.
I'll start with an excellent animated flick with rich detail and a good soundtrack: Tim Burton's Nine
Saw Everly. It was over the top but entertaining. I also saw Tormented. This type of film has been done before like The Strangers and You're Next but it was really good and I recommend it. I normally don't jump much but the director did a great job making sure you do jump even with scenes were your not suppose to or see it coming. A+ for Tormented!
We watched this last night too. It was a fun ride and, despite all the criticisms I read about the soundtrack, I thought it was very good. Although I did have to run it about 8 dB hotter than I usually do, which has been reported elsewhere.
Took the rare trip to the local cinema tonight for The Martian and loved it! Modern day version of Apollo 13. Worth going out and seeing and a great date night movie. Highly recommended.
I did too, saw it in 3D which was good but not at all required for viewing. I enjoyed the movie very much but after having read the book, a lot of the scenes in the movie felt rushed which seemed to diminish the level of danger he was in. I also highly recommend this movie!
The Mechanic - not too bad, usual Statham stuff
Spy - pretty funny. Was real impressed with opening titles and music: very James bond-esque. Also surprised that Jude Law isn't just a pretty boy anymore. I actually think he'd make a good Bond: certainly better than Daniel Craig.
Watched "Burn after reading" on blu-ray. This movie is still very enjoyable even after several viewings. Great cast to go along with the excellent writing and directing of the Coen brothers.
Trying to re-watch the original Star Wars movies on blu-ray before Episode VII The force Awakens comes out. Watched episode I and II (I would of skipped I but my roommate insisted we start with I) At least the worst of it is over!
Watched Fast and Furious 43.. I mean 7* the other night. I thought it was good but some of the stunts were just over the top extreme. Overall I would watch it again and maybe buy it once it was under $10.
We watched the Nightmare Before Christmas with the kids last night. Believe it or not, I had never seen this film. I rather enjoyed it on the whole, especially the music, and it really looked and sounded great on blu ray. There were some great moments of auditory envelopement and immersiveness, with the mix done to good effect in telling the story.
Watched King Kong for the first time (in this room).
Everyone was sleeping so the subs were off , L/C/R set to large (auto,no choice).
I am very impressed with the way this room has worked out, image and sound quality are the best they've ever been.
These towers offer plenty of low bass on their own, and I was getting overhead effects without overhead speakers (7.0).
The effects in the movie were alot better than I remember, so glad we went to a big screen and projector when we did.
I need to do this more often, likely my 3rd or 4th movie of the year.
