    The Adjustment Bureau

    Anybody enjoy it? I thought it was pretty good, though it didn't particularly go to many places in the plot particularly. It does manage to keep you in the edge of your seat for a few minutes though.

    Matt Damon is usually pretty good in things though and this movie was no exception. I also enjoyed the female actress as well, though I don't know her by name. They seemed to have pretty good chemistry.

    I didn't buy it, it was an HBO thing when I saw it. Worth buying? Maybe on the low end, but not a 25.00+ dvd IMO.

    YMMV.

    Yeah, I really liked it. Fairly original idea. Not a purchase for me, but it was definitely worth the rental.

    Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

      Yeah I rented back when it was first released. I thought it was pretty good for a first time watch but not a keeper.

        I am glad you all could get so excited about it. lol. I tend to agree though. I recorded it on my DVR. For the cost of storage, I'll watch it again sometime. But I am running out of space to keep things!

            I enjoyed it. The premise is quite interesting but as often happens with such sci-fi premises, getting the execution just right, especially on film, is quite tricky. Not a classic, but certainly worth the occasional screening.

              Good but not great. Certainly watchable more than once but not one I'd probably purchase either.

                This film, based loosely on a Philip K. Dick short story, deals with a theme of free will and fate.
                Is it possible that our fate is predetermined ? If so, what if we veer off track via our own free will ? In this romantic scifi thriller starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, Damon's character must...

                by Jeff Kowerchuk
                Well, I finally sealed up the calibration on my 56H80 and thought I would share my results. What follows is a review of the TV itself and the results of the calibration.

                As many are aware, the 56H80 is the latest model of Toshiba's 56" 16x9 set. After suffering at the hands of downconversion...

                802D Midrange Adjustment
                by Angioguy
                Just got my 802D's replaced on Friday-- I posted about a week ago that one of the speakers came from the factory with a damaged tweeter-- well, the dealer replaced both speakers, and the new speakers look and sound incredible! Will update system pics in the next few days....

                The question...

                1048 Volume adjustment
                by bluecar
                I currently use an RMB-976 to drive the zone two output from my 1068. I've just added a fourth pair of zone two speakers and so I was looking at the 1048. The step-down in wattage should be ok and I wouldn't mind the trigger and matching looks.

                However, what I'd be missing is the external...
