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

Watched Carrie and Enders Game. Some good LFE! Thought both were a good watch. I don't remember her name but the actress in Carrie is going to have a great career if she keeps up like she has been, Kick A**2 and Carrie I believe are her two most recent films. Sitting down to watch Nebraska...

Nebraska......Can't believe they wasted film on this. While I understand the message the movie is trying to portray.....I don't think its something that you need to make a movie about. Wish I could get my 2 hours back. Interesting use of non-color filming. I honestly think the filming style was the most artistic thing about it.

Because of this thread, I just threw "The Island" and "The Tall Man" on order.

Buying from Amazon, the two blu-ray movies are less than two tickets to a single movie, not counting popcorn, sodas and poorly done hot dogs.

(i'm afraid to tell my wife, we have two more blu-ray coming our way)

I have no idea who ordered them honey...:sweat:...:huh:

(good thing the taxes are almost done aa I can always blame it on the refund)

watched Tron last night. I had forgotten how much LFE there is in that movie. I hate the constant aspect ratio changes, it messes with my projectors auto aspect adjustment.

We watched Frozen with the kids last night, the first viewing for all of us. I admit that, due to all the hype surrounding this movie, I had tempered my expectations in order to not be disappointed. Well, I was definitely not disappointed. Really a great show and one of Disney's best. I thought Tangled was great too, and this one is better. Of course the video was gorgeous and the audio was totally appropriate for the content and sounded fantastic.

Lone Survivor 2 nights ago - three out of two thumbs up for the sound during the gun battles.

Metallica's Through the Never last night. I'm a lifelong fan, so of course I loved it. I realized that it has been 25 years since my first of many Metallica concerts...wow. Time flies.

Last night I watched The Bermuda Depths. It was my wife's favorite movie what with the eerie music and the giant sea turtle and all. Now I can't get the theme song out of my head. Funny you should mention War of the Worlds Blainetsuds, as it is lined up in the drawer for this evening.

Last nights movie was "The Island."

Very well done movie. In my opinion, it would qualify as a remake of "Logan's Run."

The sound track was marvelous and sound track wise, for the subwoofer junkies who come here, plenty of good bass. The last twenty minutes or so was "outstanding" and left both my wife and I in stunned silence. And while the credits rolled, we sat and enjoyed the feeling only a good sound track can provide.

For two hours of commercial free entertainment, if you can get this blu-ray on the cheap, in my opinion, money well spent.

I enjoyed The Island. Probably the last movie from Michael Bay that I actually enjoyed.

Watched Heat and Dark Knight Rises yesterday both very good
I wish I had seen DKR later after all the hype died down. Nolan was on a roll with The Prestige, The Dark Knight, and finally Inception, that I couldn't help but feel a tad bit disappointed. It's still good though.

It is now last night, or tomorrow morning and we watched "WWZ."

...

Overall, I consider the movie a family friendly movie that is too intense for the little ones but depending on the maturity of the ten, eleven or twelve year old child, today, I consider it nothing they haven't already seen these days in one way, shape, manner or form and there's nothing I remember seeing that one couldn't watch on their work place monitor and worry about getting slapped for, other than goofing off on company time.
I liked WWZ too, although I wouldn't regard it family friendly! I remember when I was a kid, my parents didn't let me watch movies where limbs got chopped off!

Watched Frozen with the family. A great film. During the scene 1:12.11 when the ice sculptured chandelier fell our glass breaker detector triggered the home alarm.
Had to pause the film because it scared us when the alarm tripped and at the time we did not know what it was till I redid the same scene.
Great audio too I suppose Lol!

Great story asere! I posted on another thread too but I'll quickly add to this one also that my family enjoyed this movie a great deal as well. Outstanding vocal mastering, and a superb overall soundtrack. "Marshmallow" really shook the couch...and everything else. It also looks as good as it sounds. Brrrrr!
