The discussion never dies, it just goes round and round like a loop

A true testament to its awesomeness indeed.

The Incredible Hulk (2008) :
Loved it, loved it so much! And Hulk will smash you if you don't include it in your library!

Movie: I watched this right after watching the blu-ray version of Hulk (2003), and while I really liked the 2003 version, this new version is officially my favorite hero movie of all time, yes I even put it above The Dark Knight.
The cinematography was breathtaking, it starts out with a gorgeous flyover of a city in Brazil, and there's beautiful scenes in a rainforest. Even the city scenes are done well, they all look alive and authentic.

The action is nonstop just like what I imagine Hulk to be. His rage in this movie makes the 2003 version of Hulk look like a ***** cat in comparison.

Video Quality: Looked awesome to me and the CGI for Hulk was much more impressive than the 2003 version.

Audio Quality: Simply amazing, I almost cried at how awesome it was. At times you'd feel like you're in a war zone, and on other scenes you'd feel like your inside a real rainforest. The bass in this movie is INSANE, and Hulk's roar in this movie is the best I've ever heard.

Extras: 42 minutes of deleted scenes!!! Too bad the deleted scenes are 480p, otherwise i'd give it a 5. Some of the deleted scenes were so good I was scratching my head trying to figure out why the director cut them.

Overall: If someone stole this movie from me and there was only one copy left in the world, I'd be willing to pay A LOT OF MONEY for it

Diesel, I was about to watch Frozen on BD after all of the recommendations I keep reading here, but now Orphan was just suggested to me.

Are you going to watch Frozen tonight?

I shall as well, was waiting to all weekend. Picked it up about a month ago, so watching it now is about on par with when I open and watch BDs.

That's not a theory though--that's one of the few things about the film that is pretty blatant.

jhiggy23 · 10-25-2010, 02:59 AM

Geez I go away for a few days and I return to all you misfits going crazy over Triangle. The loop has returned. Coincidentally, I'm booking a cruise to the Bahamas right now and I log on here and see Triangle being discussed again.

jhiggy23 · 10-25-2010, 03:00 AM

Psycho (blu)

PQ: 5 stars (out of 5)

Arguably the finest black and white presentation on blu yet. The contrast levels of black and white are extraordinary.

AQ: 4 stars (out of 5)

Great dialogue reproduction.

Film: 4 stars (out of 4)

Indisputably the finest horror film ever made, enough said.

jhiggy23 · 10-25-2010, 03:06 AM

Red Desert (Criterion)

Synopsis:

"A drama about alienation in the modern world, director Michelangelo Antonioni's masterpiece follows the unhappy life of Giuliana (Monica Vitti), an emotionally disturbed housewife who avoids confronting reality and engages in an illicit affair. Co-starring Richard Harris, Carlo Chionetti and Xenia Valderi, this visually stunning art film uses striking images of stifling industrial landscapes to emphasize its theme of isolation."

_______________________________________________

PQ: 4.5 stars (out of 5)

Great depth in the beginning and nice reproduction. Grain is heavy at times but I was impressed overall, despite the intentional bleakness.

AQ: 4 stars (out of 5)

Film: 3 1/2 (out of 4)

Moves at a deliberate pace but is always interesting. Vitti is exceptional here as a woman on the verge of a breakdown. This is a film that will definitely require repeated viewings, as there are layers that will only reveal themselves with additional viewings. Nothing is really handed to you here and the film makes you work, but I truly feel that it's worth it in the end because of the emotional complexity and stark images conveyed in the film. I'll be picking this one up at the sale in 2 weeks.

Two films I didn't finish this past week:

Shiver----this is another one of the popular Spanish horror films to come out in the 2000s. I felt it had an interesting premise but had too many script issues. I watched all but a half hour or so because I fell asleep and then just never got back to it the following day and really haven't felt a desire to.

The Holiday---my lady friend chose this one to watch last nite. Needless to say, I didn't really watch much of the movie after the first half hour but I thought it was actually a pretty cute rom-com and I'll probably revisit it in full.
