Truly Great Movie
on April 11, 2010
Posted by: setupman
from Pensacola, FL
This was truly a great movie to watch. I enjoyed the whole movie very much. The plot, I thought picked up nicely from the first Transformers. The effects were some of the best that have ever been shown in movies. If you like movies with non-stop action this is one for you. Watching this movie in blu-ray compliments your experience by providing an excellent picture. The blu-ray also provides excellent sound. If you have a good surround sound system which takes advantage of the high def soundtracks you will be in for triple the enjoyment. The soundtrack makes it feel like you are in the movie. There are bullets, airplanes, and debri wizzing all around the room that provide another dimension for ones pleasure.
It is not all the time that movies are done correctly when considering video and sound. Even with blu-ray and its abilty to provide the absolute best video and sound quality today, movies still are made with less than spectacular video and sound. Given that Transformers 2 performs well in both these aspects. I would recommend these movies to any one.
What's great about it: Video and Sound
What's not so great: nothing

Great Movie
on March 2, 2010

I just watched this movie on blu ray and all I have to say is wow. I viewed this movie on my 50" plasma with surround sound system consisting of an Onkyo receiver with Klipsch speakers. The movie has good video with exceptional surround sound especially during action scenes. I was particularly amazed by the car scene when the father was rushing to pick up his family so that they could get to the airfiled. I can not stress enough the need to have both good surround sound equipment to go along with a hi def television. Having both will allow the viewer/listener to enjoy the full movie experience as it was intended. At the end of the day thought, this is a great movie to watch with the family or friends. I woul recommend this movie to anyone.

Great Movie
on February 28, 2010
Posted by: setupman
from Pensacola, FL
Star Trek is a very good movie with very good hi def video and with a pretty good sound track to be taken advantage of by a good surround sound system. The video presented was superb. The images are crisp and without flaw. The sound was amazing although I noticed a few scenes where I thought the rear channels could have been used a bit more. All channels are utilized during action scenes like the intial and end battle especillay when kirk and spock board the enemy ship and get into a phazer fight at the end to save the captain of the enterprise.
I cannot stress enough how much a good surround sound system is needed to enjoy the full intended experience of DVD or Blu Ray discs. If the movie is just viewed on an hi def tv while listening to the speakers of the television the listener/viewer is missing out. The surround sound provided on DVD or Blu Ray is intended to provided the listener/viewer with a second dimension to the movie besides video which is sound. The sound can often make a bad movie good and when properly done can give a person a feeling of actually experiencing the movie as the characters would.
The movie itself is well planned. I really enjoyed the movie. This is a movie you could watch more than once as it holds your attention and can be intense. I would recommend this movie to anyone. Great entertainment.
What's great about it: Blu Ray, Star Trek continues, Sound, Video
What's not so great: Not enough rear channel use

Decent Movie
on February 22, 2010
Posted by: setupman
from Pensacola, FL
I purchased this movie on blu ray after researching to find some the best movies on blu ray to have if you have a home theater. This movie was suggested by several sites as haveing good surrond sound so I decided to purchase it. The movie surrounds a captain who may be a little obsessed with capturing or destroying an enemy ship that is by far a better vessel than his own. I have to say that the movie is a good movie but can go through extended droughts without having action scenes.
The video is good but not the best. The audio really surprised me. The movie opens with relatively no action scene, then all of a sudden erupts with sound. The movie becomes alive with sound that is output during action scenes. I would recommend this movie to anyone.
What's great about it: Surrond sound during action scenes

Good Movie
on February 14, 2010
Posted by: setupman
from Pensacola, FL
I was very disappointed when viewing this movie on blu ray and discovering that the video is sub par when recalling and comparing other blu ray movies to this one. This is a good movie but it was kind of a let down when viewing it on blu ray because blu ray is capable of so much more than was presented on this blu ray version of Hustel & Flow. I watched the movie on my plasma and noticed picture quality to be low. This blu ray version also doesn't take advantage of the hi-def lossless sound tracks that are available through blu ray. The movie is featured with the regular dolby digital sound track that can be found on mostly all DVDs. It doesn't even have an option to bitstream dolby digital so that it is lossless like some blu rays have when the better hi-def sound tracks are not incorporated into the movie.
At the end of the day though, this is a great academy award winning movie to watch. If you like rap music and want to get a glimpse of what it could be like for someone to strive to accomplish their dream of providing a better life for themselves and the ones they care about, this is the movie to watch. That is mostly what the movie is about. A pimp/hustler trying to better his life through rap music. Even if you don't like rap music it is still a great movie to watch. I would recommend this movie on blu ray but equally so on DVD. I think if you have a DVD or blu ray player with decent upconversion, you will not notice any difference in the video or sound quality.
What's great about it: Great Movie, great actors, good storyline
What's not so great: Blu-ray video and sound

Even though I have seen these movies before, each more than once on DVD. I found myself on the edge of my seat in anticipation when viewing this set of films on blu ray. These movies are simply great. Each film is as good as the other one. There was not one dropped ball amoung them. I can not see how anyone would have anything bad to say about these films. The plot grabs and demands your attention. You will be on the edge of your seat as you root for Bourne and wait to see what is next.
The blu ray format is also complementary to these films. Blu ray provides these films with hi def video and sound that can amaze you. The sound is especially thought out. The car chases are wonderfully done as far as action goes and the sound from the car chases provides another dimension to the movies that makes it seem as though you are there with Bourne. If you don't have surround sound, I would seriously suggest you get the capability. You are missing out on the other aspect of movies, the surround sound. The sound track can often take a bad movie and make it a very good movie. It is for this reason that you should aquire surround sound capabilities if you love to watch movies. The sound for this movie is well thought out and not over done making the overall movie experience with these films very enjoyable.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes action suspense movies. This is a great one.

Great action movie with great surround sound
on January 31, 2010
Posted by: setupman
from Pensacola, FL
This is a movie that I thought was the best movie on DVD or Blu Ray I have watched in 2010 witch only consist of January so far. If you like action this is the movie for you. The plot is also a bit unique centered around convicts giving up control of their motor functions so that other people can play in games with their bodies while the convict is aware of his or her environment. The Blu Ray version of this movie is complementary also providing the high def sound format DTS HD Master Audio. If you have a good home theater set up and are able to play the high def sound tracks that come on blu ray movie disc, you will be able to enjoy the other aspect of all movies a lot of people miss out on which is the sound. The surround sound in this movie is so good it makes you feel as though you are in it. It was simply awesome. In my opinion, the sound is just as important as the video. I believe that you should not only focus on buying the best tv set possible but also focus on being able to take advantage of the surround sound sound tracks that come on most movie media. As with this movie if you don't have this capability, you are missing out on an even better movie experience. The sound can often turn a bad movie without it into a good movie when listening to it in surround sound. I would recommend this movie to anybody for its action, plot, and surround sound.
What's great about it: Action, Blu Ray, Surround Sond
What's not so great: Can't think of anything

Had for one month, Decent so far
on November 29, 2009
Posted by: setupman
from Pensacola, FL
I purchased this internet security software at the same time of purchasing a Sony VAIO with Windows 7. I purchased it because it comes with a lot of features to better protect your computer. It has a virtual environment mode which makes it hard for someone to detect what keystrokes you are inputing on your computer with say keylogger spying software. It has anti-virus software for files, email, internet surfing, and, instant messaging. There is also a network attack blocker feature that protects against attacks against machines on your network. It also comes with its on firewall so you don't have to use the windows provided firewall. There are more features that are benificial, these are just what I can remember.
The software installed with no problems during installation. It ran well with no problems intially also. Intially the software didn't seam to bog down my computer like some reports for other virus software. This was intially. The only problem I had so far came after my first internet update for the software. After updating the software, I found that the software slowed down my IE8 significantly. This was very frustrating. I was about to become really angry but found a solution for it on Kaspersky's website forum. Apparently quite a few people were experiencing the same thing. The solution involeved going into the the internet options settings in the Windows operating system. Under the Advanced tab I had to click on the reset button wait for it to reset the browser then restart the browser. After that, all was well. This hiccup is the reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 stars.
I would recommend this software to anyone. It installs easy, has a lot of features, and is easy to use.
What's great about it: Has a lot of protection that comes with it.
What's not so great: IE8 ran very slow after first update.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good Power Center
on November 19, 2009
Posted by: setupman
from Pensacola, FL
This power center works very well. I have my PS3, plasma TV, Wii, Blu-ray player, 130W per channel Onkyo reciever, cable box, and remote charger station all plugged into it. I have not had any problems with any of them working improperly. I also have the coaxial cable for the cable going into it. This works flawlessly also. The voltage meter lets you know what voltage is being output from your wall outlet. I didn't know the voltage varied so much during use until I bought this power center.
The only bad thing I have to add is that the power center is hard to get to power back on after it has been tripped by something. I guess if it has too much of a power drain or a surge from the power grid it shuts down. When this happens, I have to unplug it from the wall sometimes to get it to restart instead of pushing the power button on the front of the unit. This can be annoying sometimes. For the money though, I think it is worth it. I would recommend this item to anyone who doesn't want to spend more money on some of the other power centers offered.
What's great about it: Protects your equipment, Cool lights
What's not so great: Not clear how to get it to power up after it has been tripped.

Decent

The Hunting in Connecticut is not all that scary of movie until you watch it on blu-ray and in surround sound. Blu-ray allows one to watch a movie in high fidelity video and sound. The scare factor in any horror movie will be amplified at least two fold when watching the movie and listening to it through a good home theater system also. I think everyone needs to experience going from virtually no sound coming out of the speakers to all of a sudden a very loud sound as some monster, ghost, or serial killer jumps out and attacks. You may leave your seat as my wife does and did during this movie. The Hunting in Connecticut is recorded in DTS-HD Master Audio which provides a good soundstage for making a scary movie even scarier. I enjoyed watching this movie and would recommend this movie to anyone, especially if you have a home theater system.
What's great about it: Good Movie
