Total Recall (2012)

December 18th, 2012

Total Recall, the reboot, is to be released on December 18th. The reboot stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, and Jessica Biel.  Total Recall will come in three versions: three-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack and a two-disc Blu-ray release which include both the theatrical and extended cuts of the film, which feature 20 minutes not seen in theaters. 

If you haven’t seen the 1990 version starring  Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sharon Stone and Michael Ironside than you might enjoy the reboot. It was met with mixed reviews and nowhere is this more evident than Rotten Tomatoes review. “While it boasts some impressive action sequences, Total Recall lacks the intricate plotting, wry humor, and fleshed out characters that made the original a sci-fi classic.” With a 30% average rating, it wasn’t a favourite of theirs. However, sci-fi fans did enjoy it and are anticipating the release on Blu-ray.

Here is a comprehensive rundown of what is available on the 3 disc version:

Disc 1:
Special features include: 
Extended Director’s Cut 
Commentary on Extended Director’s Cut 
Total Recall Insight Mode 

Disc 2: 
Special features include: 
Gag Reel 
Science Fiction vs. Science Fact featurette 
Designing the Fall featurette 
Blu-ray Exclusives 
7 Total Action featurettes 
Stepping into Recall Pre-visualization sequences 
“God of War: Ascension” PlayStation®3 Playable Game Demo 

Disc 3: 
Special features include: 
Total Recall Insight Mode 
Gag reel 
Science Fiction vs. Science Fact featurette 
Designing the Fall featurette

We enjoyed this movie and are looking forward to purchasing the Blu-ray. To enjoy the extended directors cut this holiday season will be great!

The Bourne Legacy on Blu-ray

December 8th, 2012

December 11 will bring us The Bourne Legacy on Blu-ray! The Bourne Legacy was directed by Tony Gilroy and stars Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, and Edward Norton. In The Bourne Legacy Aaron Cross, (played by Jeremy Renner), a member of a black ops program whose agents are genetically enhanced, goes on the run once Bourne’s actions lead to the public exposure of Operations Treadstone and Blackbriar. The title character Jason Bourne does not appear in The Bourne Legacy, as Matt Damon, who played Bourne in the first three films.

“The Bourne Legacy takes the action-packed Bourne series to an explosive new level. On the verge of having their conspiracy exposed, members of the government’s intelligence community will stop at nothing to erase all evidence of their top secret programs – even the agents involved. Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) must use his genetically-engineered skills to survive the ultimate game of cat-and-mouse and finish what Jason Bourne started. Also starring Academy Award® winner Rachel Weisz and Academy Award® nominee Edward Norton, critics are calling this a “thrilling, edge-of-your-seat heart-pounder” (Meg Porter Berns, WSVN-TV (FOX), Miami).

The Bourne Legacy received mixed reviews.  Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 56% rating and stated “It isn’t quite as compelling as the earlier trilogy, but The Bourne Legacy proves the franchise has stories left to tell and benefits from Jeremy Renner’s magnetic work in the starring role.” Regardless of reviews, fans of the franchise were happy about this release even if Matt Damon wasn’t apart of this film.

Fans will be happy with the bonus content available on the Blu-ray and DVD.

Bonus Features
1) Deleted Scenes
2) Re-Bourne
3) Capturing Chaos: The Motorbike Chase

 Blu-ray Exclusive Bonus Features
1) Moving Targets: Aaron and Marta
2) Crossing Continents: Legacy on Location

4) Wolf Sequence Test
5) Feature commentary with director / co-writer Tony Gilroy, co-writer Dan Gilroy, editor John Gilroy, director of photography Robert Elswit, second unit director Dan Bradley, and production designer Kevin Thompson
6) BD Live – My Scenes

Soundbar Speakers

November 27th, 2012

Soundbar speakers have become the new trend in home theater equipment. Home theater enthusiasts prefer soundbar speakers because they eliminate a lot of the wiring with 5.1 surround sound systems, they are a space save, less expensive, and you don’t need an AV receiver.

According to CNET, soundbar speakers sound great but not as good as traditional 5.1 surround sound. Last week, CNET‘s article titled “Best Soundbars”  listed nine of the most cost effective and best sounding soundbars on the market. Click here to read the article.

View the Harmon/Kardon review by Audioholics. 

Everyone agrees that soundbars do not sound as good as your traditional 5.1 surround system but the convenience factor is so attractive that soundbar speakers have risen in popularity. When purchasing a soundbar or if you’re thinking of purchasing one, here is what to look for:

Virtual Surround Sound - Most sound bars produce small beams of sound that bounce off your walls and ceilings. Ensure you have the illusion of surround sound with your soundbar speakers.

Watts - Watts are important for amplified sounds. Dependent on the size of your room and the watts you want, ensure you get what’s best for the size of your home theater.

Subwoofer - You can purchase soundbars with internal subwoofers. If you require more deep bass sounds, an external can be purchased to boost your low end.

Frequency Response  - For lower frequencies like an explosion, gunfire, sound of doors opening or closing, frequency response, measured in hertz, is imperative. 

Digital Signal Processor (DSP) - A DSP makes your home theater sound like you have side and rear speakers. Look for soundbars with a DSP

Connectivity – HDMI, RCA, optical, and coaxial digital outputs and inputs will allow you to connect your Blu-ray player, gaming system, PVR/DVR, and other important home theater equipment. The more connectivity options you have, the better for your system. 

If you decide to follow this latest home theater trend, ensure you do your research and pick what’s best for your home theater. We recommend reading the reviews done by CNET.

Home Theater Trends

November 21st, 2012

Over the years, the popularity of home theaters have increased. At the same time, trends have also evolved. From basements to family rooms, projection screens to plasma then LED TV’s, 5.1 surround to 7.1 surround, and from DVD players to 3D Blu-ray DVD players, home theater is constantly evolving. What’s trending in home theater now? Let’s take a look.

1) Multiple Screens: Back in June, our blog featuring Sports Themed Rooms showcased one room with four screens. Well this isn’t a one off, this is a trend amongst new aged home theater room. The room we were speaking of had the main big screen and then an additional three on a shot clock as well, giving you the illusion of being in an arena or stadium. With “entertainment” rooms now exploding in popularity, having multiple screens will give you the feel that you’re in a local bar with different options for things to look at while you’re socializing. 

2) Social Networks: We’re all apart of it and there’s no escaping it. Social networking has taken over our lives and it’s also being implemented in home theaters. Smart TV’s were featured in our blog back in July. Smart TV’s can connect you directly to social media sites where you can share what you’re doing and what you’re watching. The addition of tablets and smartphones has also become integral to home theaters. We are truly connected to one another all the time and social networks makes that even easier to do. You can tweet while you’re watching the Super Bowl or Stanley Cup Final or even live tweeting with your favorite TV show like Criminal Minds or Sons of Anarchy. 

3) Floor and Soundbar Speakers: Since floorstanding and soundar speakers produce clear audio, more consumers are deciding to change from wall mount or in wall speaker systems.

4) Apps: Yes apps are now controling our homes from lighting to fire places and our TV’s and entertainment systems. Home Theater Apps, our blog from October will give you the most used and most beneficial apps to use in your home theaters. 

We’re all looking for the best value our money can buy so it’s important to ensure you make your home theater suit your needs. Make sure the benefits you look for are a part of your home theater room. This holiday season, there will be a lot of products to choose from. Ensure you get what’s best for you and not what you think you need. Do your research and enjoy your home theater to the fullest.

TV on Blu-ray: The Complete Friends Collection

November 16th, 2012

Chandler, Monica, Joey, Phoebe, Ross and Rachel made up the hugely successful sitcom, Friends which ran from 1994 till 2004. With 236 episodes, 90 hours of laughs, 21 Blu-ray discs, and 17 hours of bonus features, The Complete Series on Blu-ray is just in time for the holiday season. 

Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox. Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer gave us some of the best moments in sitcom history. The One with Joey’s Bag, The One with Ross’ Teeth, The One with the Holiday Armadillo, and The One with Joey’s New Brain are all included in this highly anticipated Blu-ray collection. Friends will always be remembered for having such a stellar cast with unforgettable TV moments.

For a listing of all 236 episodes please click here (courtesy of TV.com). Along with all 236 episodes on the first 20 discs and their respective bonus features, it’s disc 21 with all the additional bonus features. Here is a rundown of what you will find:

Additional Bonus Features: Disc 21 

1) Friends from the Start (HD, 28 minutes): The first of three high definition documentaries, “Friends from the Start” finds crucial members of the crew and a handful of supporting actors — executive producers Kevin Bright, Marta Kauffman and David Crane, director James Burrows, network executive Warren Littlefield, former president of Warner Bros. Television Leslie Moonves, producer Todd Stevens, art director John Shaffner, costume designer Debra McGuire, and actors Elliott Gould, Christina Pickles, Melora Hardin and James Michael Tyler — coming together eight years after the end of the series to discuss the genesis of the show, its development, sets, storylines, characters and more. It’s a great retrospective, but the main cast is sadly MIA. No Aniston, Perry, Cox, Kudrow, LeBlanc or Schwimmer, except in the endless clips that litter the proceedings.

2) When Friends Become Family (HD, 29 minutes): Bright, Kauffman, Crane, Burrows, Littlefield, Stevens, Shaffner, McGuire, Gould, Pickles, Hardin and Tyler return — along with writer Greg Malins, audience warm-up artist Jim Bentley and actors Maggie Wheeler, Bonnie Somerville and Alexandra Holden — to cover the show’s runaway success, its ongoing evolution, and the secret behind its endurance and influence. Still no sign of the main cast, though, which would have rocketed the 21st disc’s documentaries to heights unknown.

3) The Legacy of Friends (HD, 11 minutes): “If you know it’s the end, you’re writing toward a finish line.” This tenth and final season retrospective brings satisfying closure to the documentaries, although without any fresh faces. Even so, it’s a nice, heartfelt trip back through time.

4) Friends on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (SD, 22 minutes): Jay sits down with Schwimmer, LeBlanc and Matthew Perry (in Central Perk no less) moments after the actors watched the final episode for the first time. A few minutes later, he invites Aniston, Kudrow and Courtney Cox into the spotlight. Finally, with six minutes to spare, the entire cast shares the stage.

 5) Music Video (SD, 3 minutes): “I’ll Be There for You,” courtesy of The Rembrandts.

 6) The One Where Rachel Tells Ross (SD, 23 minutes): Shortly after 9/11, a pre-recorded scene with a bomb joke left the producers with little choice but to alter the episode in which it appeared. For the first time, see the original producer’s version of “The One Where Rachel Tells Ross” and read the original script.

7) Gag Reel (SD, 7 minutes): “The One with Never-Before-Seen Gags.”

8) Friends Visits The Ellen DeGeneres Show (SD, 16 minutes): Daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres welcomes Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer (separately but in good spirits).

The official press release can be seen here.

With the holiday season approaching, expect to see more special editions of your favourite TV shows, movies, and concerts on Blu-ray.
