Skyfall on Blu-ray

February 15th, 2013

Skyfall, the latest James Bond film was released on Blu-ray DVD this past Tuesday. Directed by Sam Mendes and starring  Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Naomie Harris, Skyfall has been toted as the best James Bond film since the 1960′s. In Skyfall , James Bond‘s loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat. Home theater fans, we have a great movie to enjoy!

According to RTT.net, “not only was Skyfall a tremendous commercial success, critics responded with nearly universal praise for directorSam Mendes darker version of 007.  With a frightening turn by Javier Bardem as the latest Bond villain, Skyfall gave audiences a deeply personal spy thriller that shows a further departure from the whimsical tone we saw in the Pierce Brosnan era, completing the franchise face-lift that started with “Casino Royale.”

Red’s RedRay’s Streaming 4K Player

February 6th, 2013

Red has introduced the 4K Ultra HD player, the RedRay for home theater users. You can purchase this for $1499. While Blu-ray works on how they can put 4K films on their discs, the RedRay is a great alternative in a 4K HD system.

The RedRayplayer streams ultra HD content from the internet. There is a one TB hard drive which can be upgraded to save more content, based on your own preference. The RedRay player comes with 1 HDMI 1.4 output, 3 HDMI 1.3 outputs, and an additional HDMI output for 7.1 surround sound.

The RedRay connects to Odemax’s cloud-based content delivery system where you can find all of their 4K content. The negative of the RedRay is that it can’t play any of your existin movies unless you upload them to an externam hard drive. Don’t forget you will need to have a 4K TV to view this content because you won’t be able to enjoy the 4K qualities without it.

We always appreciate your comments and feedback so contact through Facebook, Twitter, email or by phone.
