Maaaaannnnnnnn... I just watched this blu-ray last night. WOW! This was awesome. It's about Bruce Lee's teacher when he was young. It's not Jet Li, Crouching Tiger, type of effect movie. No real effects except for a few throws, but this guy is just fast. But on top of that, it had a great story... not about martial arts.
PQ was just ok. Some dark scenes were not handled well.
SQ was perfect. The music was well balanced, and not out of place. The 'newest' thing for me was that this was the first martial art movie where there are surround sound effects for fighting moves. Example, two guys fight, as one guy swings his sword at the guys head, the camera moves to the defense guy's point of view, and you hear the sword go around in a circle around your HT (center, to right, to right surround, to rear etc). A roundhouse kick had the same effect. They seemed to use a lot of localizing sound effects during fight. I never heard that before. It worked out really well.
One thing to note. This disc confused me about audio options. It has 6 different blu-ray audios. 7.1LPCM, TrueDolbyHD, DTS-HD MA, and two other that I can't remember. I don't know which one is better. I just picked whatever had Mandarin.
Great movie though!B&W 804S/Velodyne SPL-1000R/Anthem MRX720

Spider-Man - A Review 05/19/2002
Lot's of hype, lot's of expectations. Does Spider-Man make the transition from comic-book to the big screen? Oh yeah! Right up front, this movie rates :45: out of :5: Don't pass Go, don't collect $200 dollars, just go see this movie!... -
The one thing that these two movies have in common is that they were both horribly overdue on DVD.
Memoirs of an Invisible Man is sort of understandable, being a sleeper film that was poorly marketed when it came out. It was sold as a slapstick comedy like other earlier Chevy Chase movies,... -
Sorry it's been a while since I've posted about movies. Crazy busy with work and research. Took some time yesterday to catch the Spider-Man movie with my son (as a reward to him for doing a man-sized set of chores the previous day). Much like I wrote up for the previous one (seems like it was far less...11 July 2019, 14:54 Thursday -
Boundary Effects
Boundary effects, also known as boundary interference effects, refer to the interactions between sound waves emitted by a loudspeaker and the boundaries (surfaces) of the listening environment or loudspeaker enclosure. These boundaries can include walls, floors, ceilings, nearby objects, and the loudspeaker's own enclosure. Boundary effects are important considerations in loudspeaker design because they significantly impact the loudspeaker's radiation pattern, frequency...21 July 2023, 21:01 Friday -
So George, have you seen this one yet?
I know you like Westerns, but this one is quite different. Almost like a ‘film noire’ / surrealistic version. The entire musical score is a lone blues kind of style electric guitar with a ton of distortion effects dialed in, but still...
