Thread: What are you watching?

--

* It was ok, nothing exceptional (but very different). ...French flick.
{You can read a review of it by clicking on it.}

Have you watch "The Killing" on NetFlix?
I think it's very good series.

Trung, I never watch TV, ever! ...I don't have cable, no satellite, no connection, nothing!
... And like that for the last twelve years or more.

I only watch Blu-ray movies, and BD music video concerts (very very rarely DVDs, and I must have 4,000/5,000 DVDs).

If I need the news, or intelligent documentaries on nature and new technologies, or around the globe cool things, and bad things too; I got my PC.

Too many movie?

I watch most movie streaming through NetFlix.

I watch at least one Blu-ray movie (or/and music) every night; sometimes two, depending of the season.

* Right now I need people always posting after me.
Because if no one post, or reply, I'm stuck in my own 'movie' zone!

I can do that.

Last night I watched this:

--

* It's a short (45 mins) IMAX Documentary style on 'Rescue' operations after a natural cataclysm or any type of emergency mission after a 'tremor' caused or by nature or by man himself.
It's good, and in 3D it's even better.

I presume that all of you are with the 3D program by now?
Don't fret about it; glasses-less is comin' real soon; it should electrocute your vision.

Vikings - History Channel

We have watched 4 episodes of this series this week

--

* This film demands repeated viewings IMO.
It was better this second time around, and I will eventually revisit it again. ...Not for everyone; you need to take the time, and more ....
{Click on it for one review of it.}

Paul Thomas Anderson, the same director behind 'There Will Be Blood', 'Magnolia', 'Boogie Nights', and 'Punch-Drunk Love'.

Last night, I revisited this:

--

* Doesn't even look remotely close to 'Oblivion' with Tom Cruise.
So, anyone here who has ever lived through misery?

Oh yeah!!! I've been diggin' on this too! The first season was very good but if it was done for HBO or Showtime, etc...I think it would be really something!

--

* The bad people are bad, and they are few of them (to be killed, or hurt very badly).
The good people, and they are only one of them, is real good.
...Almost too good for my own good.

This ain't no 'Lawrence of Arabia'!

--

* Ok, it's a comedy, almost a romance; no it's a crime drama, a reality check, a soap opera, a day at the doctor's office, the debility/dysfunctionality of the human race, life in the city, ...it is whatever you want it to be. ...But 'Lawrence of Arabia' it certainly ain't.

Did I like it? ...With my yesterday's overall mood it was ok.

Vikings - History Channel

We have watched the last 6 episodes of this series this past week. Not a bad series!!!

--

It was ok, and possibly possible.

We had company last evening so we will be sitting down in a few minutes to catch the Season Finale of "The Americans". I am very happy that this has been renewed for second season.

It's a Blu-ray Box Set (two BR discs); which contains five fantastic French comedy films, and three shorts.
...Awesome! ...Total = 415 minutes.
...Plus few more things of interest.

* Just click on the above picture ^ cover for some info plus a trailer to give you an idea.

P.S. This is an AudioShark's exclusive; meaning that only AS's members are aware that I watched this (and still watching tonight). No other site at all are aware of this, only you guys and gals.
Plus the reviews are hard to get by (and for a very good and obvious reason), plus this has never been released before, plus I highly recommend it if you don't mind too much the subtitles (but Jerome, Andre, and I, we don't need that).

This is comedy cinema at its very best! ...First class!

Suspense until the end, although you know what's going to happen.
Very good!

Bart, I like the title of your above post.

Are you familiar with Milos Forman's flick 'Amadeus'?
Because I'll be re-watching it tonight, on Blu-ray, the Director's Cut.
If you guys like the music of Mozart, then this is it; this is a fabulous flick!
This is hi-res multichannel audio, and with the volume cranked up it is awesomely sublime!
...Plus the acting and storyline of this flick is top notch! ...In particular F. Murray Abraham. ...And Tom Hulce is certainly very funny as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The cinematography is totally sumptuous! ...And did I mention the music conducted by Sir Neville Marriner? ...WoW, just WoW!

I did re-watch 'Amadeus' on Blu-ray last night, just like I said I would.
And it was even better than what I said yesterday.

Let me put it this way very simply to you gentle folks of the AudioShark forums.
If you truly value first rate classical music (operas and all) like me, and also the original venue where Mozart himself conducted Don Giovanni opera back then (same hall), splendid costumes and colors and extravaganza entertainment of the highest auditory and visual caliber, then you'd better get this Blu-ray movie.
It is essential in any serious music and movie lover library.
This is what Movies & Music are all about.

I have the DVD, and the Blu-ray; and the BD is vastly superior; audio and video wise.
Plus the BD is only $15 or so at some places (it's a Digibook too, and with a separated second disc, a CD music only).

You don't need a 500-foot screen to watch it, and you don't need a five million dollars surround sound system to listen to it either.
All you truly need is to get the Blu. ...And that is all.

And if somehow you don't fully grasp my drift, and that you are not totally convinced, I will refund you the price you paid for that Blu-ray title, and you still can keep it!

Just buy the damm thing, and climb higher on the happiness ladder of your senses.
Fifteen bucks only, not like five hundred thousand bucks!

I could probably write five books about it, but I'm going to use only five words instead:
"Magnificent, Full, Tender, Funny, Charming." - Roger Eberts

...And only one word from my own brain: Soulful.

* What can I say that you people don't already know regarding this Stanley Kubrick's flick?
- I enjoyed revisiting it, and on Blu-ray it is the best version so far.
{Click on the above picture cover if you feel like it.}

--

* If you loved Tom Cruise in Michael Mann's flick 'Collateral',
I think you're going to love him in this one too.

It's a cool flick, with interesting characters and plot line.
And that Blu-ray is first rate; audio and video quality wise.
{Click on the above picture cover for more.}

=> I love the car chase sequence.

I watched this one last night; but on Blu-ray ::

--

1. Love this flick!

2. This Blu is not the best looking one around, but it still beats my previous two DVD versions: the first one a non-anamorphic version (ouch!) and the second, anamorphic (better).

3. MGM and whoever is now behind, don't invest time and money to give us better looking older classic flicks on Blu-rays, like 'The Great Escape' (1963) here for example.

We watched this movie tonight!!!



From Amazon.com

"Hard to believe that Erskine Caldwell's God's Little Acre was, for years, the bestselling novel ever published. This 1958 film adaptation gives little reason for that status, being a curiously inert combination of sweaty Southern passion and rustic comedy. Thanks to director Anthony Mann's exacting eye for outdoor photography, the film is a pleasure to look at, and Elmer Bernstein's score makes it swell to listen to. Robert Ryan, always good at obsessives, plays a patriarch convinced gold is buried on his farm. He's aided by a gallery of future TV stars: Tina Louise (Gilligan's Island) as the lip-lickin' sexpot every living male tries to seduce; Jack Lord and Vic Morrow as her husband and brother; Buddy Hackett as a would-be politician; Michael Landon as an albino (thus giving new meaning to the term "white trash"). This gumbo has some fun flavors, but they don't quite blend." --Robert Horton

* Part of my growing up visual TV entertainment; long long time ago, when I was still very young and good looking.

Now much older, and wiser, and even better looking, it was a delight to revisit it on Blu-ray.

* This is a very "SPECIAL" flick to me (personal/emotional level).
...And I need nobody to tell me if I should like it or not, because I do like it a lot.
And on Blu-ray at my own mansion, in my own comfort's zone, it's going to lift the foundations of this planet in which we all live and called Earth!

'Cloud Atlas' was awesome on Blu!

* Always been a favorite of mine for many many years. ...Last night, on Blu.

Just finished watching, in 3D, about an hour ago :::



* And the Master volume level was near Reference level. And the 3D is still the very best, and I got one dead pixel.

* Nothing special here; but Arnold is back!

Hey Kev, it's just a movie! ...Popcorn time!

* Interesting; I was watching this Great Classic Western last night when suddenly (near the mid-point), we lost power here in my area.
...So I went outside, at night, and lighted a smoke. ...I was in a field of darkness illuminated by the moon, no man-made lights, and only the noise from the horses' tails across the field. ...Finished my smoke and the power came back just as I entered my palace.
...Then I simply proceeded to pursue the second half of that great movie.

At no point I panicked or was upset; to the contrary, I was perfectly and comfortably numb during the entire evening. ...Power and no power.

* True, the thought did cross my mind; "can us North Americans live without power (electricity, computers, TVs, audio sound systems, etc.)"?
Of course we can; it's only a question of adaptation, which is one of man's attribute.

* I feel like falling in love again for the first time.

P.S. The only way to fully comprehend what I just said above is to watch the film; and more than once.

Agree, you have to watch it more than once.
