Star Trek: Search For Spock
Vudu HDX
5.1 Dolby Digital

 

[Mike Frezon]

A movie that never gets old.

The only thing that's too bad is that once you've seen this film so many times and know it inside-out, you miss the fun of being surprised by all the different "reveals" as to how all the characters are related to one another.

But still so much fun.

I've been slacking on my movie watching. Too much time watching football. I did finish watching the first season of The Punisher.

I finally got around to Lucy this afternoon on UHD. Wow! What a visual and aural extravaganza! The plot may have been a mess, but just for the sensory overload it was worth watching! It's my choice thus far for the reference picture and sound disc for UHD.

Episode 1 of Gilmore Girls: Year in the Life!

I've just watched Three Days Of The Condor which I'd seen only once before, when it first came out. I enjoyed it more this time. It made more sense than when I first saw the film.

As is usually the case with films directed by Sydney Pollack, all the actors gave good performances but especially Faye Dunaway. As written, her role was one step above pure cliché but she turned it into something far better. Every slight facial expression was judged perfectly.

I'll watch this Blu-ray disc again fairly soon.

Ex Machina
4K UHD BD
7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio (DTS-X)

This was my second blind buy movie of the group with The Cabin In The Woods being the first one and both on 4k UHD BD. Really enjoyed this movie and loved the ending.

I watched The Friends Of Eddie Coyle last night. I've never especially liked this film despite it being a crime movie and starring Robert Mitchum. Last night, for the first time, I understood why. The film plays consistently on one level: same mood, same pace, same ambiance, same visuals. The deployment of contrast is important in films, although not as important as in music, and in The Friends Of Eddie Coyle there is almost no contrast between one scene and another.

It's a very well made film and it certainly held my interest, but I won't be watching it again next week.

Probably going to watch Twilight Time's The Front today unless I spy something on-line during my morning surf that makes me want to check it out immediately.

Terminator: Genisys
1080p Blu-ray upconverted to 4K UHD
7.1 Dolby True HD (Dolby Atoms)

To all the terminator films that came before!

 

[Robin9]

Last night I watched All The President's Men. This film never fails to hold my attention which surprises me a little. All the actors give good performances and I especially like Jane Alexander's.

Summer Of '42 and He Walked By Night arrived today so I'll watch at least one of them tonight.

 

[Matt Hough]

I have a lot of TV to catch up with from last night, but I hope to find time for Auntie Mame.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Last night, we watched the incomparable Vera Ellen in White Christmas. There were other people in the film, too.

 

[Matt Hough]

Yes, as I said in my review of the Blu-ray a couple of years ago, Vera-Ellen was, to my mind, the most versatile of Hollywood's great dancing stars. She really could do it all, and was a fabulous partner for both Astaire and Kelly, the ultimate tribute to her abilities.

Hopefully today I can get to Cease Fire in 3D. If not today, at some point over the weekend.
