Very Long - Takes To Long - Lost Interest

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was thinking this was going to be a cool heist film with four women pulling it off. In the end it was just a long movie and the heist was really short.

Looks Good In 4K
on February 2, 2019
Posted by: MOVIEWATCHER
from CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie is older and anyone buying Christine in 4K has probably seen it. It does look good. Not as nice as a new movie but as an older film (and John Carpenter no less) it's a hard call to go to the 4K version vs the Blu version. I have my player for upscaling and it looks just as good. - Hope that helps

Better Than Expected

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like this movie. I went into it thinking it would be just another Tom Cruise movie. I would pair this with a JOHN WICK. Both movies were action packed. Now that JACK REACHER 2 is out, comparing the two , JR2 was what I would call just another Tom Cruise movie. They made a big deal about TC doing all his own driving. My thought was so what the movie was good - don't try and make it another TC movie by hyping him up vs hyping the movie up.

SEEN CARRIE 30x - RECOMMENDED ON PRESENTATION
on August 29, 2018
Posted by: MOVIEWATCHER
from CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you haven't seen CARRIE another review is pointless. Scream/Shout Factory present these with awesome extras. I have probably 100 SF titles in my collection. I have 'double dipped' because their versions are so much better. This is why I recommend this release - AND I LOVE THE MOVIE with a much younger John Travolta directed by one of my favorite director's Brian DePalma.

I LIKE KONG MOVIES IT WAS BETTER THAN THE LAST
on August 29, 2018
Posted by: MOVIEWATCHER
from CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I don't know I'm kind of tired of the smash bang blow'em up movies. I will say it had a great Surround track. As like TARZAN I wanted it in 3D but with prices being so high and the market dying I was not going for the 3D version. I would not recommend the movie to anyone. I know it got a few good reviews and I know people who liked it. I'm not one of them. As a dumb popcorn movie it was and ok waste of a couple hours.

BAD REVIEWS BUT 3D
on August 29, 2018
Posted by: MOVIEWATCHER
from CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I watched for the 3D version to drop in price. The reviews were so bad I didn't want to spend the money on the dying 3D market. The price finally dropped for the 2D version so I picked it up. It was as the reviews said. I recommend LEGEND OF GREYSTOKE. Older but a better Tarzan movie

A band of determined Russian soldiers fight to hold a strategic building in their devastated city against a ruthless German army, and in the process become deeply connected to a Russian woman who has been living there. In STALINGRAD, directed by Fedor Bondarchuk, the scale of the battle contrasts dramatically with the human drama of the Russian soldiers, the few remaining civilians and their invaders into Stalingrad.

SUCKER FOR 3D & WWII Movies
on August 29, 2018
Posted by: MOVIEWATCHER
from CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had seen a trailer and saw it was in 3D so it was a must buy. I found it on sale at BB so I picked it up. I was surprised when it started out in modern day. Then it time shifts to WWII. I was expecting it but the 3D and Surround were really great and got involved with the movie. The modern to WWII made you wondering what was happening. It all comes together and I did recommend it to a stranger.

LOVE CHOW YUN FAT - MOVE NOT AS EXPECTED

Verified Purchase:Yes
I will see anything with Chow Yun Fat. I had seen a trailer and this looked really good. I looked forward to it's release. I got it home and watched it right away. The story was not what I was expecting and Chow Yun Fat is always enjoyable to watch. I wanted to like the movie but it was only so-so.

I PREFER THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE VERSION
on August 29, 2018
Posted by: MOVIEWATCHER
from CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was not to thrilled when this was announced to be remade. I watched not sure what I would get. The story was the same but they tweeked story points which I think helped me understand the original. I would suggest looking out for the original and judge for yourself. Keeping in mind the Japanese version was a couple years old. It did break new ground so it's not a new thing as it was when it came out.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I watched the first season of JUSTIFIED because I loved DEADWOOD (Timothy Olyphant). I was hooked and loved the character of Boyd Crowder. I purchased every season and was bummed it only went one season more. I highly recommend this show, and wished it was on along with DEADWOOD

Enhance the quality of your home theater or audio system with this Klipsch subwoofer kit. It adds to the capabilities of a WA port-equipped Klipsch subwoofer (not included) by extending the powerful bass anywhere you want for the best possible sound quality. This wireless Klipsch subwoofer kit is easy to set up thanks to its plug-and-play technology.

Although many people think you can place a subwoofer anywhere in room, audiophiles know better. Proper subwoofer placement, particularly for a single sub setup, is critical for maximizing the quality of sound emitted. When placed poorly you will have dead spots in the bass in the room and possibly even distortion. That is where the Klipsch WA-2 comes in.
The Klipsch WA-2 wireless subwoofer kit allows you to connect your supported Klipsch subwoofer to your receiver/amplifier wirelessly with little fuss while placing it exactly where you need. The concept sounds perfect, but unfortunately the execution leaves a little to be desired.
The kit is very easy to install. The receiver has one proprietary plug that connects to a support Klipsch subwoofer and the unit hands off two posts available on the back of the sub. The sender is more universal with a standard power adapter and L/R RCA cable. The sender and receiver come paired from the factory but also offer sync button as well as sync status light. The first bit of confusion is when connecting the sender to a receiver. The instructions say if you have receiver has an L/FE or single output then you connect that line with a single plug, on the supplied cable, to the L/FE plug on the receiver. The problem is the sender has no L/FE plug. It only has a left and right. The only way to determine the correct connection is to either guess or look carefully at where the diagram indicates you plug it in. Although not critical and relatively easy to figure out it is odd for Klipsch to make such an error.
What is more important is performance. To start, the included RCA cable is extremely cheap feeling. It holds onto the port with 4 very weak wings normally found on budget RCA cables. This causes the cable to never really have a firm connection introducing noise at random. If you connect it to the receiver and push the unit back into a cabinet, you can easily dislodge it just enough to introduce a low buzz. To make matters worse, something about the connection either in the wireless signal or the cheap cable causes the subwoofer to randomly thump and rumble randomly. The level is very low making you think it might be coming from outside or somewhere else. Upon closer inspection you will find it is in fact coming from the subwoofer. Using a good quality direct connection product produces no such thumps and rumbles. Another downside is it seems to reduce the overall bass of the subwoofer. With a hardwired setup connected to a Klipsch R-115S a setting of -6.5db is optimal and produces clean, noise free bass. With the WA-2 kit, the same subwoofer needs to be set to 0.0db an still seems to not have the same pressure in low frequency scenes.
While the idea of the WA-2 wireless subwoofer kit is a good one the implementation needs some refinement. For now, you are better of sticking with a hardwired setup or a different wireless kit. If you must use the WA-2, then at the very least a change of the RCA cable is recommended. Hopefully future generations of the product will fix the shortfalls as good wireless sub kits are hard to find.

Random thump annoying
September 17, 2019
I too purchased this wireless kit and threw away the cheap RCA cables. After several weeks of ownership I kept hearing this thump (what I thought was outside). After a week of this I realized it was the subwoofer thumping as if it was being switched on and off. I just needed to second the comments this owner submitted.
