Tucker & Dale vs Evil

I absolutely loved this movie. I had no idea what to expect from it. I didn't know if it was supposed to be a horror movie or what, but some comedy pops out and I was about to die laughing. Awesome movie.

Last weekend watched Puss In Boots

Just such a great movie. Absolutely loved it.

Anyone who is a cat owner such as I am will definitely really appreciate all the subtle things they put in from cats with real life.

5/5

Also went to a matinee at the movie theater itself to see Chronicle.

Was a decent film. I liked it a lot more than my wife did though, that is for sure.

It definitely had a few scenes that every boy that ever dreamed of being a super hero could appreciate.

3.5 / 5

Also tried watching We Need To Talk About Kevin

There may be a good movie there somewhere, but I did not make it far enough to find out if there was.

It was not only slow, but it was incredibly depressing as well. Just had no desire to watch it after about 45 minutes of trying.

1.5 / 5

Finally, the weekend before last weekend, watched The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

6.5/10

It was OK. Cool concept, but, there were many plot holes that brought it down.

2/10 (3D movie-going experience)

I went and saw this Sunday in theaters. Of course I had seen it before, so I won't rate it on that.

This was my first 3D movie that I saw in theaters. I was very disappointed, and my brother constantly reassured me this is the worst 3D movie he has seen (and he has seen a lot) and there were way better ones, so don't give up on the theater 3D experience. We got up and left about 3/4 through, because, really, I love Star Wars (see: Original Trilogy), but watching this movie more than 5 times, in 11 years is more than enough.

My wife wanted to watch this last night. It is only 13 minutes long so i am not certain if it can be classified as a movie.

4/5 (took 1 point off because it was stupid)

Underworld_Awakening_3.jpg

7.5/10 bits of intense action, overall not really the same pull as the other movies.

8/10 pretty funny, but at times kinda stupid. I like stupidly funny movies if they are stupid but funny the entire time.

Star Wars: Phantom Menace in 3D

Absolutely crap. I had gotten to the point where I was ready to give the film a second chance, and 3D would be a bonus.

Wrong in so many ways. It's an absolute turgid pile of pants. Badly written, terrible acting, pooly paced kidfest. I love Star Wars and I was ready to say "You know TPM wasn't as bad as people make out". But it really was. I fell asleep.

As for the 3D? Worst implementation of 3D I have ever seen.

    • 0 chance of that happening, forget it. Get it installed by some tech guy or do it yourself with the bypasses, that's how MS is being lenient and looking the other way to give users a chance.

    • So, recently, I saw on the news (yes, on this website) that Samsung is introducing features where it can provide education using AI-powered sets, and because of this, I got concerned about whether the AI gives out wrong info during education sessions, causing controversies in the process. What are your thoughts on this? 
    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.
