    What have you watched lately on DVD or Blu-Ray?

    So, what have you watched lately on DVD or BD? 3D?

    Feel free to add movie channel selections here too, or Netflix, Hulu, Prime...

    Let's see who's watching what!

    I'll start.
    Saturday night I had movie night, and watched movies until 3:00 AM. I watched a somewhat eclectic mix of films over the weekend:

    1. 5th Element on BD upconverted to 4K. (4K Unconversion test) I may own this one on HDDVD too, have to check it.
    2. Rumor Has it. (Jennifer Anniston, Kevin Costner) BD upconverted to 4K
    3. Juno on BD upconverted to 4K
    4. Jason Stahern in Transporter 3 on BD upconverted to 4K That freckled red head is slutty hot. lol.
    5. 27 Dresses. (was thinking about giving this to my daughter, so I thought I'd spin it once more.) Katherine Hiegel is the only thing that saves this movie from being 1 star, IMO. I'll give it 2 for Katherine.
    6. The Italian Job on BD. I also own it on HDDVD, lol. Because I could.

    I've been on a Law & Order marathon lately. If I ever need a show to just get hooked on and pass the time, it's those series.

        Been compiling a documentary list in preparation for the new semester (deciding what to use in class).

        Ken Burns' The West, a CBC history series on Canadian history (the episodes on Amerindians) and The Gatekeepers (interviews with all the surviving former leaders of Israeli security service Shin Bet) are on my immediate list. I'm teaching Native American History and Modern Middle Eastern History this semester.

            I watched the first Fast and Furious movie recently. Got the six film box set really cheaply on BD. Will review them when I'm done.

              The Edge of Tomorrow. Just rented the blu-ray. During the opening credits there is a super loud super unexpected low frequency hit that makes my Tuba HT bottom out at nominal listening levels. My Tuba HT never bottoms out. It was a rental so I haven't had a chance to re-watch that section but its kind of bugging me that it did that. But the movie was pretty good. It definitely sparked some conversations about how you approach people and problems makes all the difference. And maybe just maybe a coward can grow into a hero.

                  I was very happy to have upgraded to my SVS PB2000 before watching that movie as I'm not sure my old sub would have dealt with it very well. The two of them together did so with no problem, however.

                    Loved that movie for many reasons. Will be a purchase for me. I plan on reading its original book and other literature like it. Wasn't really original, but I really enjoyed it.

                      What have you watched on TV lately? (today, last night, etc..) Running Thread

                      Please limit to no spoilers, but brief description of plot lines ok, without spoilers.

                      I watched a movie with Woody Harrelson, about a Russian train ride, involving drugs, corruption, and their journey. Trans-Siberian I think it was. It was actually pretty good. Of course, Woody is...

                      What I've Been Watching Lately
                      by George Bellefontaine
                      Last night I watched SPY HARD, it's a comedy starring Leslie Neilsen and spoofs everything from James Bond to Speed. Pic quality not bad considering it's not anamorphic.

                      Watched recently:

                      HEARTBREAK RIDGE (1986)
                      A terrific Clint Eastwood film.

                      by dynamowhum
                      Just rented this the other day. It was a good rental. It is a Indian film based on the early life of one of its big buddhist teachers. It was a little bit of a musical .I don't know if this is a normal component of Indian films because I just have not watched that many of them. My only real complaint...

                      Not relay sure where this post should go but figured I would throw it here and it can always be moved to the right spot.

                      I am starting to research the new HDDVD and blue ray technology that is coming out and im worried. Worried about what? Is it that there will be 2 competing technologies...

                      Blu-ray vs upconverted DVD
                      by tallcool1
                      I am wondering why I don't see any picture quality difference between blu-ray and my old upconverted DVDs. For DVD, I have a Denon using SDI to pass the video to my Lumagen scaler which upconverts it to 1080I and sends it via RGBHV to my 73 inch mitsu TV (1080I is max for my TV). Now I have the Sony...
