Thread: What are you watching?

* Very cool; more than 'medium cool'.

--

--

* Directed by Mike Leigh (1990). ...More entertaining than 'A Good Day to Die Hard'.

--

--

-- * German flick (1979). ...A Must See for anyone who has never seen it before!

Ha!

I like the last James Bond double 007's main theme song ('Skyfall') by her.

--

I'm going to try watching this again tonight; because late last night it didn't work as I was just too tired and fell asleep within the first twenty minutes or so into it.
...And you have to be especially alert and awake when wearing 3D glasses, as everything around you is darker, blacker, and easier to fall into dreaming.

--

* Wish me good luck!

Jeez, fell asleep again (in 3D)! ...About half way thru this time around.

=> 'Oz the Great and Powerful 3D'; meh.
* I just can't believe that some reviewers gave that flick 100% for both Picture & Sound!!!
Perhaps 90% or so (4.5 out of 5) that I can see, but no way more than that!
And the film itself; 3 out of 5 (max).

* Oh what did I do now!
...Jason Bourne (Jeremy Renner) is gone beyond the Bourne's boundaries; point-of-no-return!
Next he's going to be the new Superman (Man of Steel 2)!

--

* Great flick! ...And on Blu it shines.

BTW, 267 members right now. ...By the end of this month we should hit 288 or more.

--

* A Must Have Blu-ray title in any serious Cinema lover movie collection!

I watched this last night:

--

* I liked it! ...You might too!

- Any of you remember 'American Psycho', with Christian Bale?

--- Last night, in <<< 3D >>>

--

* Only for the 3D daredevils!

--

-I re-watched this last night :::

--

* The DTS-HD MA 7.1 audio soundtrack is a "Near Field" audio mix, and is very cool (well done).
- The dialog track is articulate, the surrounds precise and enveloping, and the .1 LFE channel powerful at times (tornado scene).
- The music audio track is not overpowering; bravo! ...That's about time someone finally wake up!

The 3D picture is more for effects than realistic (Oz world) depth. ...Gimmicky at times, and blurred at others, for the action moving scenes.
...Quite colorful, but dimmed (3D plasma display). ...And the contrast is high.

What a drag though! No 2D version included in the package!!! ...I have to buy it separately! ...I'm just too old for this bull!
- I'm not the type to mail coupons and all that redeemed jazz... ...Disney is the one here who should ask for redemption!

According to this reviewer (click on the picture cover), the 2D version is much better than the 3D one.
I've yet to see it, but I'm tempted to believe him more than others who are over-the-top with their 3D reviews!
...Because for me, like I said, this 3D Blu-ray title looks too cartoonish, and made for kids who are looking for faked effects.
There is a sad discontinuity at times with the actors and the decors. I do understand that it is a "science-fiction" flick (pure fantasy) but still I love to have my dreams look real.

Anyway, I will buy the 2D version ($30 Cdn) and make my own mind. ...As for Disney, I truly hope they don't do that ever anymore! This was a low blow! And us their customers we just don't deserve that! Disney! Are you listening?

Just curious; I know that some of you were watching the game this evening (Hawks won! Yippie! ), but are there some members here who are also like me; big time into the best hi-res sound and best hi-def picture from Blu-rays?
Yes, I know there are; you guys (gals) simply don't post, or talk about. ...Das cool man, no problem (Tarantino's tone of voice).

* Turntables, can they do that? ...Play multichannel hi-res audio soundtracks, and hi-def video motion pictures?

--

* Good deal right now on this package containing the four BD movies on four separate Blu-ray discs.
...Less than twenty bucks. ...Click on it (picture cover) if you dare!

And all the Coen Brothers flicks are great; none is bad. ...Including these four here.

---- Last night:

--

* Previously I watched the 3D version, and now I just watched the 2D version.
-> This version is great (colors, black & white, sound), but the 3D version is the better film!

Yes, I say "film" because 3D does affect (effect, for the better or worst) how you perceive the onscreen story, with all its surroundings elements (stems).

- If you like 3D, you'd love the 3D version, I think (I'm sure).
And if you prefer 2D, you'd love this one (for the colors and the sounds).

- The film itself?
1. In 2D: 55.55 (out of 100)
2. In 3D: 66.66 (out of 100)

- Video and Audio (don't matter if 2D or 3D): Video = 91.25 // Audio = 93.55 (out of 100)

Anything above 90 is pretty good.
Anything below 70 is missing the important mark.
And scores between are average.

This opinion is from Bob, and Bob only, and has merits only for its technical artistic and soul values. ...For all ages between 1 and 111.
BUT! Anything below 11 should think twice before seeing it (it has some scary scenes). ...Now, if you are below eleven years old, and that you are reading this post, don't say that I didn't warn you!

--

* If you did not see it yet, what are you waiting for? ...It's from 2007.
This is a smart flick; great storyline, well constructed, deeply humane, superbly acted by some of the very finest, excellent camera work, and all that great movie jazz.
And the replay value, in my book, is great too.

Warning! Don't trust most reviewers; they don't have a classical background in Cinema history as I have.
...Only trust the solid ones.

* Simply click ^ on it for some info.

Yesterday we went a saw "Much Ado About Nothing" As far as I can remember this is the best movie I have seen this year. I normally do care for Shakespeare brought forward to today, but this one really works. After the first few minutes of getting my Shakespeare ear back, the dialog seemed like they would be speaking that way all the time. Amy Acker knocked it out of the park as Beatrice, and she looked good too.

Sounds like an interesting one Jim.

* It's a click-on ^ thing.

I watched this last night; my kind of flick!

--

--

* From 1936 (UK). Click on! ^

______________

*** And few nights ago I watched this:
Amazon.com: Ken Burns: Jazz: Season 1, Episode 2 "The Gift (1917-1924)": Amazon Instant Video
That was excellent; Jazz (Charleston) Documentary (2001) --> "The Gift (1917-1924)" - 2 hours.

Last night ::

--

* Great (powerful) flick, directed by Jacques Audiard, same Frenchman director who also directed 'A Prophet'.
And yes, it's a French flick (English subtitles), and Marion Cotillard's in it too!

P.S. Anyone else here who watch movies? ...Or are you into CNN and "Zimmerman" coming verdict watch?

-- Revisited ::

--

* My favorite of the series (five flicks)? ...You betcha!
...And then the original first one, and finally With a Vengeance.

Another revisit ::

--

* I like the flick (fun/action entertainment), with over-the-top humor, but the title sucks, big time!

Hey, where the heck are we? ...Don't look like our planet Earth no more!

-----Late last night ::

I pretty much agree with that review (just click on the above picture cover).
- Me personally: I love the original 'The Evil Dead' by Sam Raimi, and this "serious" remake was seriously entertaining, ...and bloody!
... See it!* ...It grabs you and doesn't let go!

* ...Or unless it is not in your bloodline.

--- Last evening | In 3D :::

* Good stuff; everything. ...I do recommend. ...for all Jazz music lovers, and all that 3D/2D jazz.
......{Click on it ^ for more.}

I watched some of it last night, and tonight I'll watch the rest.
