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 Oculus and Transendance.
Oculus had good LFE, but I thought overall it was a week movie. More of a classic 80's horror flick if you get my drift (freddy couger etc.)
Transcendance was actually pretty good, didn't expect it from the previews. Found it all around a solid rental.
If your a Netflix or Hulu subscriber and looking for a really good series to watch ..flashpoint IMO was excellent. Its an older show aired in 05 through 2012 but it's definitely worth the watch.
Watched Captain America: Winter Soldier last night. It was a pretty great show and the video and especially audio were very good indeed. Enjoyed it and would recommend if you are at all a fan of the genre.
Oh and I remember now that my wife and I watched Need for Speed last weekend. I wouldn't call this a great movie, but the audio and video are both fantastic.
We used part of the final race scene in our CEDIA sound room demo and it sounded spectacular. Worth watching just for the AV, and especially if you like cars.

Godzilla takes a dump on Pacific rim times 1000!!!! Saw Pacific rim again for the second time and oh my gosh what a waste! Obviously Godzilla was way better, can't believe I wasted money on Pac rim!!

We watched Warm Bodies last night for a second time. A very enjoyable movie and just as good the second viewing as it was the first. Highly recommended if you haven't yet seen it.
Watched Rover.....biggest waste of my time. The director vision or shooting style is great, but once again its another one of these half mute movies with a drawn out IMO pointless or non-exist-ant plot. I equate these plots to filming me driving to work each day in rush hour traffic, then filming me driving back home in rush hour traffic to watch me have dinner, and then just repeat and repeat for 2 1/2 hours.....Anyone interested...I'd be glad to film it and sell it to you for the great price of $19.99...:rofl:
For some reason I seem to be running into these type of films more frequently at the rental box.
Also watched Draft Day, thought it was an enjoyable movie, rental.
While not a movie and more of a documentary I watched The Hornets Nest last night. It was basically Lone Survivor except shot live with real footage. A must see if that's your thing and the audio and in particular LFE was spectacular!
Captain America The Winter Soldier on Blu Ray. Anyone else notice the spectacular A/V quality of this disc? Wow. The movie itself was pretty good also but the picture and audio quality was awesome. Great fun.
Yesterday I watched Citizen X. It's a movie made in '95 by HBO about the serial killer of the 80s and early 90s in the city of Rostov in Russia. It's a low budget film, but the acting and the story is amazing.
It's on Amazon Instant video for anyone interested.
Oh yes I have seen that and really enjoyed it! Definitely worth checking out. Also it is based on a true story but have not heard anything related to how accurate it is supposed to be.
Ok. Got to watch 14 blades. I was the lucky winner! Thanks again!
I have to say, I hate subtitles. Now that that's outta the way, I really enjoyed this movie. A lot. Even laughed out loud a couple times.
The soundtrack to this movie is insane! No single digit bass drops, but every single driver(23), in my system was active almost the whole time. And the levels were high. Every sound is immediate, and up front(no matter the direction it came from). For this style of film it worked. Maybe not so much for others...I watched at MV-23. This was pretty good. Seemed louder than usual. Twice, I checked to see if dynamicEQ was on! Incidentally, I followed it up with "transformers ". (DVD) This was disappointingly in contrast to 14 blades soundtrack. I actually went up to -15 with dynamicEQ on. The whole thing seemed like it was in "night " mode. Especially after "blades ". Still love it though. For some reason,Shia lebouf has fallen from grace, but he affects me in the same dumb way Jonah Hill does. Can't
