Since it was raining cats, dogs, and cows this weekend, myself and mans best friend(my black lab Darnell) settled in to watch some movies I purchased, but had'nt watched yet. This was also an opportunity to break in phase I of my equipment upgrade.

The Incredibles-Just Incredible, that is all I can say. Great story line, great visuals, awesome sound. I wanted to watch it again and again. This DVD is officicially the first to overload my BFD, though it wasn't audible to me. This movie had alot of sub 20hz information(even in the main channels), and if your sub doesn't go that low this movie would appear to have pretty weak bass. Also this soundtrack had the tightest bass I have ever heard, I mean rubberband tight. Good use of the surrounds, no too much, not too little. This movie get's a A++++

The Love Bug-When I was a kid, this was my favorite movie. I have seen it at least 50 times in my life, but every time I watch it, it like being entertained by a old friend. For a movie that is almost 40 years old, the picture looked great. I saw no artificats, no edge enhancement, blocking anything of that nature, just a little grain here and there. On the box it is listed as DD 5.1, but I don't remember hearing any split surround information.

Alien vs Predator-I really like this movie. I cannot tell you why I did, but I did. Great, powerful soundtrack, very nice video with some grain apparent. The sound was awesome and frightening good. Great dynamic range, very smooth but extended frequency response, and pinpoint imaging(and I mean pinpoint!).

Connie and Carla-I have to admit, I have never laughed so hard in my damn life. I hated that this movie actually had a end. It was so entertaining and a joy to watch. The sound was serviceable and works with the movie, and the video was also pretty good. To tell you the truth, I was laughing so hard that I wasn't paying much attention to the technical aspects of this film. If you like really good comedy, this is a winner!

Anyone else catch some good flicks this weekend?
