    Zodiac is David Fincher playing with our minds again

    He shocked the living daylights out of me in Seven and he had me hooked all the way through 2 and a half hours of Zodiac. You will have to be a true crime lover to stick with this slow moving film, but the rewards are great if you do. Information is thrown at you like confetti and passes you before you get a chance to digest it all. This is a film worth owning just so you can go back to what you may have missed. Most here probably know that this is based on the book about the Zodiac killer who scared the hell out of everyone in the San Fransisco area during the late 60s early 70s and possibly even the 80s and 90s. No one knows for sure how many people the Zodiac killer murdered, or what went on inside the warped mind that made him do it, but letters and murders all stopped after the death of the chief suspect in the 90s.

    Good cast here, including Robert Downey Jr., Jake Gyllenhaal, Anthony Edwards, and a superb performance by Mark Ruffalo as the true cop David Toschi who darn near ruined his life trying to catch the Zodiac killer. In fact, many who were involved in the Zodiac case didn't have to be murdered to be one of his victims.

    A terrific film especially for true crime lovers.

    A BIG :T

        When it's on 7-day rental, I'll be grabbing a copy to watch. How's the PQ? (gotta feed my new toy some candy every once in a while--candy meaning well done PQ, not just F/X and day-glo colours).

          It has sort of a purposely different look, but I quite liked it. However, your audio system won't get much of a workout with most sound coming from the fronts and only occasional rear and LFE.

            Nice review, I enjoyed this movie. Loved Downey, Jr. especially!

            Seven is one my my all-time favorites.

              Thought the film was excellent. Some scenes that are absolutely chilling.

                I admit, I watched the first episode of this purely by accident. But I quickly became intrigued by the angle of this new show from a crime show perspective. Mostly, the shoot em' up chase of bad guys is left to other crime dramas. This one is about the worst of the worst, the serial, the psycho,...

It stars Matthew McConaughey as Killer Joe, a corrupt Texas police detective who moonlights as a killer for hire.

                Interesting Questions: Inquiry minds would love to know???
                by chinets
                Hi All,

                Very high end processors are supposed to have good analogue pass through, yet not up to par when comparing to high end pre-amps for pure stereo listening.

                Two questions: Is it possible to have both an independent pre-amp to run the two front speakers then run...

                Killer Projector Coming ?
                by George Bellefontaine
                There's a lot of talk that a new KILLER LCD projector will be introduced ( possibly by Panasonic) at the CEDIA show later this month. Rumor is it will be a contender to beat or meet the Sanyo 16:9 PLV70 in goodies and yet come in at under $2000 US. This could set the tone for a huge price break in future...
