What Movie(s) Did You Watch Today?

I honestly thought Grown Ups was the biggest let down of the year. :handgestures-thumbdown:

Watched SALT last night, really good movie, much more then I expected.
 
I went in with very low expectations watching grown ups so it was not to much of a let down, it was not a 5 star by no means. Now Salt is a good movie and I hope they make a follow up to it.

We just had to watch this one on the 5.1 system. Not To Shabby!!
 
JPark is one of my all time FAVES!!! I can rewind the first Trex attack three or four times when I am watching it. LOL!
 
The first time I saw it was on our 2.1 system a couple of years ago.

I know that I have said this before:

BUT THE 5.1 UPGRADE IS UNBELEIVABLE!!!!

I can't imagine it in a dedicated room with acoustical treatments!!

Our home is built on a concrete slab and the couch still shook!! :scared-eek:
 
I picked up The Next Three Days, Tangled (3D), Fair Game, and Yogi Bear (for the kids of course) I'll report back soon after viewing...
 
Only a 7....I thought that was one of the best westerns ever.

Check out Open Range, the movie is really good and the sound is killer.
 
Only a 7 because I found the middle part to be very predictable.

I enjoyed Hackman's part as the ass kicking Sheriff.

Only part that Eastwood was good, was at the end, almost reminded me of a Dirty Harry Scene.

Morgan Freeman......just so, so.

I will get a copy of Open Range and watch soon.
 
I agree with Walls. Each character has so many levels.....the battle between good/evil and what is good/evil.

The end is where you get a glimpse of what William Munny must have been like....back in his drunk days.

One of my all time favorites.
 
Munny was out of his mind crazy just like Little Bill and English Bob. Just plain cold murders. Must of been crazy back in those days.

I was suprised at the end.................I thought that the cut up hooker would have run off with Munny???

Still just a 7.......

I enjoyed this, but lots of plusses and minuses:

THE BAD: This is a Bluray, but the resolution was only about DVD quality. Focus was off a lot of the time, and there were a few video artifacts, noticable in waves in lakes, and pine needles blowing in the breeze. Right off the bat I noticed a sun reflection in a lens (don't know what these are called) which showed the lens only had a six-blade diaphram, pretty old equipment.
THE GOOD: DAYAM, what incredible scenery! What was cool was they filmed many familiar areas, but from completely different perspectives. When we hear "Yosemite" we think of that iconic photo with the two famous mountains side-by-side, but this video shows those two from different angles, AND the rest of the park; gorgeous! Showed a stunning castle in Tibet, but it wasn't the usual Dalai's pad. The shots of the Tetons had the recognizable Sawtooths, but from areas I'm not familiar with (and I spend a lot of time up there).
THE AUDIO: interesting; the new-age-style soundtrack was in the front four speakers (with an annoying mid-bass bump) and all the nature sound effects (birdsongs, wind, running water) were in the surrounds. The nature stuff wasn't entirely accurate; lots of birdsongs when the video was above the treeline in Patagonia, FAIL. The nature audio editing was also very rough.

I'd still highly recommend this one to anyone who loves the mountains, such great scenery of common and rare areas. :handgestures-thumbup:

No not yet. I've been waiting for a while for a BD version.
 
I watched RED, parts of the Big Lebowski and Dude where's my car this weekend.
