Director Wes Craven's slyly self-referential shocker follows a group of high school horror film fans in a small California town who are systematically slaughtered by a mysterious masked slasher. Newscaster Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) thinks this killer also did in teenager Sidney Prescott's (Neve Campbell) mother the year before, even though the supposed murderer is behind bars. Skeet Ulrich, David Arquette, Rose McGowan, Matthew Lillard, and Drew Barrymore co-star. 110 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio, French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English (SDH), French; featurette; audio commentary; behind-the-scenes footage.

Scream takes a Stab in the UHD Market
on December 24, 2021
Posted by: 1Mikereview
Verified Purchase:Yes
While Wes Craven’s Scream is a horror classic that shaped the genre becoming a cultural icon, the 2011 blu-ray release is notoriously known for its heavy DNR, smooth and waxy faces, and low bar audio. Ten years later, the slasher flick is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a brand new 4K remaster. Expectations were notably high, and this disc slashes the competition to bloody bits. The 1996 film has never looked this good before. Gone is the DNR wax, absent are the smoothened out wax covered textures, and in comes a grain heavy, sharpened and brightly textured quality that brings greater detail. One would almost think the high quality of this transfer is as if Scream was made today. This also comes with new retrospective features that look back on the franchise and looks ahead to the future with its upcoming fifth installment.

Justice League Part 7 “Steelbook of Justice”
on December 24, 2021
Posted by: 1Mikereview
Verified Purchase:Yes
Fans have been pushing for the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League since the 2017 theatrical release. After a long time of holding onto hope and never giving up, those dreams became a reality. As Snyder’s unbound 240 minute magnum opus has landed on home video release. With it’s 1.33:1 open matte full frame aspect ratio (to certain controversy) breathes life to low compression in the video. A huge improvement in quality over the HBO Max streaming release. Heavy digitized grain, crisply sharpened images demonstrating fine clarity is demo worthy. The four hour epic is divided up across two UHD discs that allow for greater room in the audio/visual department. While light on the bonus features, it excels in picture and sound quality. Not to mention the relatively cheap priced 4K disc is a no brained to purchase.

Those who thought they knew slacking San Francisco car valet InchShaun XuInch (Simu Liu) best didn't know him at all. In actuality, he was the son of Asia's most dreaded crime lord-the centuries-lived Wenwu (Tony Leung)-who'd had him trained from the cradle to be the greatest martial artist alive... and whose patience with him to come home and claim his infamous birthright has just run out. Action- and fantasy-packed screen bow for Marvel Comics' Master of Kung Fu co-stars Awkwafina, Michelle Yeoh. 132 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of Dolby Atmos
on December 24, 2021
Posted by: 1Mikereview
Verified Purchase:Yes
Another typical release from Disney/Marvel that comes recommended while not expecting anything more from this disc release. The picture is sharp, with a touch of softness and low HDR that doesn’t pop in color as most others do. The slight hand in disappointment comes from the low mixed Atmos audio. Not heavy hitting or punchy as many of the MCU films are when seen in theaters. The bonus features are light, while more can be found on Disney’s streaming service if those are curious. Needless, its a must have for anyone who wishes to complete their current Marvel collection.

The Thing Assimilates onto UHD
on December 24, 2021
Posted by: 1Mikereview
Verified Purchase:Yes
Universal’s 4K UHD release of Carpenter’s classic, The Thing is a mixed bag depending on what the consumer deems more significant in value. In comparison, Universal’s UHD disc is a knockout. Crisp, clear, brightened, and vibrant colors with mid to high HDR makes this a visual treat. Fans might be favorable towards Universal’s new remastered DTS:X audio. It’s heavy hitting, clear distinct dialogue, and is heard through its multi channel surround setup.
However, there are some drawbacks. Universal’s release noticeably omits an original 4.1 mono-mix from the 70mm six-track Dolby Stereo, a 5.1 and standard 2.0 audio options; as well as several audio commentaries (one of which, the classic Carpenter/Russell track is included on the 4K) and a load of in-depth, behind the scenes, interviews and making of features are all absent. Though, many of which were not carried over can be found on the 2016 collector’s edition release from Scream Factory,
In the end, any fan would be satisfied. Whether they wish to have more original audio options or are interested in the production of the film. Regardless with how one sees, this is the best release The Thing will see. A definite upgrade over the 2008 Blu-ray release too.

Our phones~ screens are the windows to our digital world, and we want a seamless experience as we swipe and type on our Apple iPhone 8, 7, 6s or 6. Nothing delivers that experience quite like the ultra-smooth surface of glass. So, we created Glass+ to be able to withstand the rigors of our day-to-day lives and the unexpected.

Integrate this Bowers & Wilkins center channel speaker into your home theater setup. Its three-way vented-box system reduces resonance, and the Carbon Dome tweeter delivers clear highs. This Bowers & Wilkins center channels speaker also includes midrange and bass drivers to ensure full-range of sound, and the white finish looks sleek in your living space.
 

How would this sound for music and movie dialogue in comparison to the Martin Logan Motion 50XTi? Is it worth the upgrade? Thank you

I don’t have any Martin Logan experience, but I would go to a magnolia design center at Best Buy to get a better in person experience/answer.

I'm building my home theatre and looking at this receiver. I am running 3 TV's around the room. Will this be able to mirror the signal of say my bluray player to the three TV's through monitor 1, monitor 2, and Zone 2?

This receiver does have a monitor out, but it sounds like you need to use a HDMI distribution box.

From Google search;
This solidly built home theater component will serve up Ultra HD Blu-ray discs with their full 4K resolution and wide, vivid color spectrum. The UBP-X800M2 also plays pretty much any other movie and music disc or digital file out there — and yep, it will even stream Netflix® in 4K.
