Movies Discussion Thread V1: Ratings and Opinions

[Vyom]

Watched Yogi bear on my new Dell Monitor. My first HD movie on the monitor. Till now have not watched an HD movie on a monitor that supports one used to watch some of the HD movies on my old 14" CRT monitor.
Movie was good.

Also wanted to ask you guys in most of the movies I find that there are upper and lower bands which reduce the dimension of the movie. When I watched Yogi Bear I didn't find the same. I got watch the movie full screen.

Congrats for the new Dell LCD, and Welcome to HD dude!
I was expecting a happy smiley in the end, but I guess you WERE happy, now that you got to watch it in proper HD, w/o those black bands
I know, I have also upgraded to Dell LCD recently, and I can relate to you

Be realistic. Movies are an escape from reality. They are for the feel to be part of something that our relatively boring lives would never have us do. Or, to portray a side of a story that the commercial news media would never consider ratings-worthy. You, it seems by the way, are obsessed with the Nazi era. Seen Schindler's List or The Reader??

Oh yeah... escape from reality! Maybe thats why I love fantasy, since I want to escape this f** reality!
Didn't seen the two movies though... excepting to see soon!

 

[Anorion]

haha its not liek we want to forget all our cares and escape into some fantasy world, its more liek a suspence of belief, where you will understand causality in a fictional way, not liek it happens in real life a la Rajnikanth

^^ Those seems to be quite an appetite for series to me. Will take a long time to complete!
Glad that I have completed Heroes and Prison Break, and it seems difficult that any show could top these two.

 

[ithehappy]

Thanks for recommending this. Looks pretty good, I am getting this ..... ...... after HEROES I am lot in to TV series as well and have viewed quite a few TV series in the past 6, 8 months or so ........ recently I completed another awsome TV series called "V" (2009) I would suggest you to give this a try ...... its very engaging..... I am eagerly waiting for Season 3.

Welcome mate. Suggestion added to my list, lets see how I find it

Watched 'Fighter'. Three words, Awesome, awesome and awesome. Bale was certainly better than Wahlberg, but not by much

The Fighter (2010) - IMDb

Movies are an escape from reality.

I was in the middle of watching the movie hence, I couldn't put the smiley.

That's called 16:9 aspect ratio

Thanks Faun. How can I Check if the movie file I have supports 16:9 Ratio?

 

[Zangetsu]

How can I Check if the movie file I have supports 16:9 Ratio?

if u have installed K-Lite Codec Pack then just ryt click the video file & select "Media Info" u will get a popup as Media Information there
check the aspect ratio if supported shud be written as 16:9

 

[Vyom]

How can I Check if the movie file I have supports 16:9 Ratio?

You will have to look for the aspect ratio of the movie. In most avi files, you can easily have a look at them through their properties.
Divide the Width by Height, and note the ratios. If you have got a number close to 1.77, then it is of 16:9 (since 16/9 ~ 1.77).

Edit: Or Zangetsu method

Guys most of the movies I watch I find that the vocals are low in volume as compared to the places where we hear blasts and other back ground sounds.

Guys any help on this one!

Watched the Gods Must be Crazy II. Was good initially then dragged a little bit and again had a good last 20 - 30 mins.
Any good suggestions on Comedy genre?
