Kevin Hart: What Now? 2/10. Simply not funny. It's like Kevin has been living in suburban L.A. for way too long. Hell, I can be funnier than that. Totally uninspired and totally not funny.

Pretty Guy. Weird Creationism. Han and His Brothers - a Star Wars story. Genetically Diverse Twins. Ted & Louis. Brother Act.There's Something About Mark.

War On Everyone - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3708886/reference

reasonably funny crossover between Bad Lieutenant and your typical buddy cop comedy. Michael Peña and Alex Skarsgard do drugs, shoot up the place, and occasionally arrest bad guys, with swag and funny quips.

Well made film, some interesting cinematography, some tits n ass.

would recommend. 7/10

The Last Samurai - 8/10 - after all the positive comments here, I realized I had never watched this as I thought "Tom + being a samurai" sounded meh. I quite enjoyed it though! I did think him being

the sole survivor

was a bit over the top, but otherwise it was very good.

I saw it live and thought it was hilarious but we were all hammered. I rented it again to rewatch and yeah it doesn't compare to his older stand ups at all. Some laughs but most of it is forgettable.

Purge The Election Year - 7.5/10 - this was a pretty solid movie, better than I expected for sure. I thought the original had a great concept but fell flat. Then I thought the 2nd would be terrible but it was surprisingly decent. This one was also surprisingly good if you thought the previous ones were decent.

La la land: 1st 2/3 of the movie 9/10. the turning point was when they
Started arguing in the apartment about him staying on tour for a long time. She said she didn't expected him, then he cuts her off and accuses her of thinking he wasn't going to succeed. Forced drama. The situation could have been easily diffused if she just said that she thought it was only short term to get enough $ to open his own club like he dreamed

Bought an Xbox one S for the 4k blu ray. Have a4k tv (not HDR though :-(). Just ordered a Denon AVR-X3300W. And ordered the John Wick 4k blu ray!

Thursday, my first 4k movie at home!!!!! With Dolby Atmos or DTS-X!

So I finally did watch some "old" movies while I was traveling.

The Accountant - 6/10. Jason Bourne wannabe. The actions and concepts about forensic accounting/finance and money laundering were not bad but the plot was laughable, especially toward the end (met someone again..really? oh and I can't stand that character).

My Name Is - 8/10. Japanese anime movie. Interesting concept of switching bodies/minds.

28 Days Later - 8/10. Old movie but I did not see it until now (I did see 28 Weeks Later). Humans can do a lot of nasty things toward others.

Time to replace that TV with something that does HDR. Makes a hell of a difference.

I got a 4K TV recently and I guess it has HDR capability though I haven't investigated and tested that specifically. But before I didn't realize there were like two choices for 4K disc players, the most reasonable of which is probably the Samsung one for $275 though that's only a player (maybe I could hook it up to my existing LG Bluray player from my HTIB setup? Dunno). At least you can stream some 4K content through Amazon Video (not sure about Netflix, probably though too).

4K UHD Blu Rays are on another level vs Netflix 4K HDR streaming. Can't match the physical disc bit rate. Get an Xbox One S. 4K UHD player and you can find it under $200.

Orly? Do you think that would be compatible with my LG home-theater-in-a-box? Like could I hook it up to the LG receiver I have, and have my 5.1 speakers output the proper sound? I'm pretty sure the receiver has an HDMI input if that's what's needed.

It should be just fine. Are you doing sound over ARC or optical right now with your receiver?

If you plan on doing Xbox --HDMI--> Receiver --HDMI--> TV you have to make sure your receiver supports HDCP 2.2.

Otherwise you'll have to do Xbox --HDMI--> TV and Receiver --Optical-->TV and set your sound settings accordingly.

John Wick 2, the votes keep on coming, 9.7/10 at IMDb and 95% at RT.

I have a 1 year old 55in Sony x850c and I almost replaced it for a 75in X940D Sony a few days ago because the sale was too great. I held back though lol.

Um, for sound I just have the receiver connected to the speakers via the regular speaker wire that came with the unit. Then the receiver is connected to my TV via HDMI. The only other "sound" aspect, I'd say, is that I connect my receiver to my PC via optical cable so I can play computer sound through my home theater system.

I'm not sure if the receiver supports HDCP. My unit is the LG LHB336 but that page doesn't mention HDCP that I saw. I will check the manual at home. Thanks for your help btw!

American Horror Story Season 6: Roanoke Nightmare - 7/10 - I really haven't enjoyed any of these since the first season so I'm finally getting around to watching this one. I know there's quite a bit of mixed feelings regarding it, but I really liked it. I assume most people were offput by the format which could be confusing at times, but I thought it captured the current TV craze perfectly, and I thought the subject matter was interesting as well. It does something mid season that I don't believe any other show has ever done and it did it well.

Looks like an older set. You would just have to connect your Xbox directly to the TV to a 4k HDR enabled HDMI port and just set your TV's sound settings accordingly. Things got all funky when they released 4K content.
