OK, Pbgalvin, I am a few episodes in to Deadwood now and am getting blown away, it is REALLY GREAT!!!!!
The fact that it is based on some actual history is remarkable, the writing is stupendous, and the acting is perhaps even more so.
For all the nasty language, this is sorta a thinking man's TV show, not just pulp. Surprised me, even though it came highly recommended by several.
I am thoroughly enjoying it now, but gotta say Calamity Jane steals the show!!!!
Sound wise, the songs at the end of each show, as the credits roll are wonderful and sound GREAT!!!
God Bless,
Wayne

Still watching and REALLY enjoying DEADWOOD!!!!!
After a particularly poignant episode the credits rolled to this song. I had forgotten it.
Our family just finished "Edge of Tomorrow" with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt.
I did not think it was a very good story (kinda repetitive), and not particularly well done either, in spite of the star power T C brings.
I do however really love Bill Paxton movies and he added a bright spot to this one.
PQ was not very good, it was a pretty dark movie. Possibly because the aliens were not very well drawn in this one and they did not want that to be seen? SQ was VERY noteworthy in the beginning. At the start this show will try to blow your sub!!!!! It has a LOW YOWL that has to be experienced and for that it is reference.
Otherwise it was still pretty good, but I don't remember any thing else that stands out.
If you want to test your low throbbing sub-sonics, try this one. Would like to have seen more of Ms. Blunt.
God Bless,
Wayne

This one was a stinker!!! 2/5 for the film and that may be too generous! SQ and PQ were good, but assigning a rating would be a bit superfluous based on the quality of the film. You're better off with Deadwood or a sweaty and muscular Emily Blunt.
Cheers,

Has someone reported on "Wonder Woman" yet?
Must have, but I don't remember, so here I go with a few short comments. Gal Gadot stars!!!!!
We watched this tonight, and I must say that I cannot get anything from Amazon shipped over here any more, or not much.
So this was a local purchase and was fairly bad quality. I REALLY wanted this movie in 3D, but no, I did not find it, I did not even find it in Thai, so my wife switched off reading subtitles (what I ALWAYS have to do) half way through the movie, too much trouble for her.
The sound on my copy was only DD 5.1 I am sure that is not what it was meant to be.
But I will say we were blown away by the movie anyway. I think PQ should be better in a better copy, but ours was pretty great.
SQ was awesome BASS!!!!! I was engrossed in the movie so I did not notice particularly great use of the surrounds, but was probably there on a 7.1 presentation. There were LOTS of explosions and just deep bass tension/excitement builders that shook the house, not just the home theater!!!! WOW I enjoyed that!!!!
Gal Gadot is possibly the most beautiful woman in the world, but not exactly the best actress, NOT BAD at all, quite good considering, and in fact I did not think that Chris Pine stole the show from her at all (as he often does). She held her own very well. It was a good role for a woman, well crafted story, well told, well written and acted, all in all it was all I hoped the movie would be and MORE.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!! Top notch comic book character entertainment. It was not "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" or anything, but I found it a visual and audio treat.
Not to be missed!!!
God Bless,
Wayne

Great review Wayne. My cousin in Michigan saw it in the theater awhile back, said it was a "Must See".
The release of "Wonder Woman" in the U.S is the nineteenth - today.
Why are you ahead of us?
Explain please...
