Oh well time to do a new journal and all,since been a while. So lets see whats new.



Well I thought it was time for an update. Now since its summer and very very hot, like melt steel at times hot. Have been trying to get as much done in the morning as can be. Also since its been raining like it should normally again, the grass has been growing and have been having to cut it almost twice a week now. So now you think I have not had time for movies,lol. Well since my last journal I have watched abotu 29 movies, does not include rentals. Also played through Grand Theft Auto 4 again and got it done in less than 30hours for the trophy. Now I could go on and review the movies I have watched since last time,but that would bore most and take so long. However I will mention that 3 weeks ago I had a Harry Potter marathon, one each night. 2 weeks ago I had a Planet of the Apes one, and 1 week ago I had a war movie marathon. I tried to keep it too WWII movies, which I have a few of and also had a rental of. This week I did an action movie marathon week. However I did break down Wed and watch what is not an action movie,lol. The movie that the title of this is in reference too, and the one I am going to review in a minute, Ghostbusters. I got my new Blu-ray of it wed, and had lucked out really. Amazon had a mistake and was allowing coupons to be stacked on this title. Well it showed up in my gold box, that took a $1 off of the price,then I applied 2 $5 coupons toward it and in the end only paid $8.99 for a new release. Also used my Sony rewards points and have Dr. Strangelove on the way, cost me nothing. I also got Spaceballs web,but have not watched it yet. Just looked at some scenes from it to see how good it looked and sounded,and to laugh some of course,lol.

So I wanted to talk about the new Blu-ray release of Ghostbusters. For starters its cool that Sony has been putting PS3 themes on their Blu-ray's. I had Underworld Rise of the Lycans for a while,and just changed it to Ghostbusters now, very cool. Thats the first cool plus on the release if you have a PS3. Now the movie comes in a nice looking slipcase with a blue slime look to it to keep with the blue for Blu-ray,and to cover the slime for Slimer. Now first want to talk about some extras. It has some nice features about the movie on it,and also some about the new video game that came out the same day. I watched the game trailer and have to say it looks amazing. I mean movie like in how well it looks. So hope they get a demo out soon so I can try it out. Now this movie also has a feature called Slime Mode, thats a picture in picture mode for the movie. I checked it out and its pretty cool, lots of behind the scene info from the cast and director as it plays. Like they did not have permision to film in some places, and that you can see a guard chasing them for real in one scene. So its a really cool feature for a fan to get some more info about the movie and behind the scenes stuff. Now it has a nice lossless audio track and it sounds amazing. Its very clean and clean sounding, can hear all the detail in the soundtrack and its awesome to hear it this way again. Now the video is just awesome really, just have some points to make. Now some may not get that movies are shot on film, as such it has grain present. Now more modern films have better film stock, or use digital cameras and as such have finer grain or none at all in the case of animation. This should never be expected, or wanted for an older film. They were shot on film and have grain,that is what makes the picture. If you scrub the grain away you loose detail and can get a waxy look to people. I am happy to say this is not the case here,and it has the correct film look and all its grain is intact. It is just like watching the movie in a good theater back on release day. I have to say I am very pleased by this and so enjoyed watching it again. To be honest it was funny to watch, since as lines were being said I found myself saying them in my head as me and my freinds had memorized so many lines to this movie. So I have to say buy the movie if you have a Blu-ray player, it is so worth it and looks and sounds amazing.
