    Blu-ray Review HTF Blu-Ray Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

    I dont know if this has been mentioned yet...just jumped into the thread. If you buy the DVD or Blu-Ray at Target, the disc come in a very nice hardcover book with exclusive photos from the set. Once of the photos has a picture George Lucas wearing a shirt that says: "HAN SHOT FIRST"...

    Review your favorite Movie Theater

    A pretty decent multiplex is the Pacific Galleria 16 in Sherman Oaks. The main 2 Theaters are pretty massive with great seating. The rest of the 14 theaters however are pretty small. A slight problem however is that it does attract a fairly large high school crowd and we all know how bad that...

    Review your favorite Movie Theater

    I share pretty much all the sentiments regarding the LA theaters. However I do find an irony regarding the Arclight and i was wondering if anyone felt the same way. The theater is almost TOO good for a fun even movie such as Star Wars. The theater itself is fantastic in every way. The sound...

    Family Guy Season 5 =).

    The Enrico Palazzo reference is an example of one of the things that makes this show so great. Very few people I know understands why thats funny.

    *** Official STAR WARS Saga (episodes I to VI) Discussion Thread: Part 4

    Never even thought about the novelizations that came out before the movies. shows how young I am. I am surpirsed that for a movie like Empire, they didnt make an exception to release the novel after the movies release. Its not like Harry Potter where it is supposed to be a novel before a movie.

    *** Official STAR WARS Saga (episodes I to VI) Discussion Thread: Part 4

    One of the coolest things for me when the movies were re-released in '97 was seeing them through younger peoples eyes. I was born in 1983 (I know, Im still very young) but because of that,I never got the impact of seeing Star Wars on the big screen when they first came out. When I saw Empire SE...

    Please help in deciding on a new TV

    Thanks for all the help guys, but other voices in he house have spoken and we went in a direction we didnt see coming. We will be purchasing a 46" Sony Bravia. The KDL-46S2000 to be exact. I was hoping for something at least 50 inches but the picture looked very good. So now this leads me to...

    Please help in deciding on a new TV

    Hey Seth, Man Im a dumbass...I knew I forgot something in my post. We sit 10 feet from the TV. I was thinking along the lines of a 50." Others in my house feel that a 42-46" would be enough. Im afraid that would be too small. Im also editing my previous post.

    Please help in deciding on a new TV

    Hello All, After 10 years of wonderful service, our 32" Sony Trinitron has died. This is actually somewhat saddening since we have had the TV for so long and it had produced such a great picture. However, this is also the excuse we were looking for to upgrade to HD. We have always loved...

    Transformers (2007)

    I like this Optimus design very much. Updated, futuristic and alien, but still very recognizable as Optimus.

    Transformers (2007)

    I agree that the designs need to be changed and look more alien, but I think some of these, Megatron in particular, are just a little too different. for some reason, he looks organic in a way. A more industrial look would have been nicer in my opinion, but not just a simple boxy easy to...

    Transformers (2007)

    I took a quick stop at Michael Bay's website. There is a forum there dedicated to the movie. I was seeing if they were trying to do any damage control after these images leaked. I wasnt really paying attention but I think some guys who are actually part of Bay's team were implying that these...

    Worst use of CGI in a movie?

    Though I agree that the Scorpion thingamabob in The Mummy Returns looked horrible, I think it should be noted that it was rushed work. I cant remember the details, but I remember reading that a last minute change by the director combined with running out of time resulted in the entire sequence...

    Hey Mike, I understand exactly how you feel about the artists being rushed into finishing their work, but this is interesting and relevant. The scene in War of the worlds with Tom Cruise driving the van away from the bridge beng destroyed and flipped over and the town being blow up was...

    Hey Mike, Now let me first make it clear that this is just my opinion, however I do have a degree in Illustration and am currently working on digital patining to become a Concept Designer and Matte Painter. I think the reason that things sometimes look fake is due to a multitude of...

    Superman Returns (2006)

    About the budget: I believe the official budget that was given to Singer was $184.5 Million. He did admit to going over budget but nothing astronomical. He in fact cut a scene that he wanted to shoot (not the Krypton sequence, that was completed already) because it would have cost him an extra...

    Superman Returns (2006)

    Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my Tuesday night experience. This was quite possibly the best movie going experience I ever had...better than all the star wars movies even. Getting in line at 7:30pm for the 10:00pm showing, the line was already over a block long. They let us into the...

    Is anyone else amazed by the level of realism in special effects?...

    Ong Bak = Kick butt kung-fu!!

    Actually, its not Kung Fu. Its Muay Thai (the national sport/martial art of Thailand which I also happen to train in). Well, its very stylized Muay Thai anyway. I have seen the movie myself and it has some of the best and brutal fight scenes. Plus the main actor does stuff in one sequence that...

    Irritated by excessive Wire- Fu !

    Actually JoeMKal, Ong Bak didnt use any wire-work I dont think. In fact on the DVD there is a Demo reel of the stars work thats states that he uses no wires. But you are right, this one of the best martial arts movies ever. Everyone, do yourself a favor and find it.
