"Putting the shopping trolley away is an excellent demonstration of character."
These are impressions, not reviews. Look for someone much more qualified for those.
Apart from LotR, I didn't watch a single thing until May. So pushed LotR forward.

Gemini Man [2019]
So, 60fps. Looks good. Wish more films would do it.
The premise is quite interesting but the execution is just fine.
Sound is good. VFX is a little overdone in a few scenes but all in all is fine, even good at times.
Greyhound [2020]
Being the warship fan that I am, this movie is right up my ally.
Its depiction of navel warfare is fairly realistic. So much so that I'd say it's the most realistic representation I've seen in quite a while.
Sound and VFX are excellent.
House M.D Season 6
Finally got around to watching more of it. Probably the best season so far.
Hugh Laurie is definitively one of my most liked actors.
The Karate Kid 1-4 [1984-1986-1989-1994]
I've watched the first 3 movies dozens of times. Absolutely love em.
An excellent message with heaps of little pearls of wisdom sprinkled through-out.
Never watched The Next Karate Kid, dunno why really but oh well. Had it on my server for years too.
Anyway, I think it's good enough. Sure it retreads a good chunk of the first movie but I'm not exactly sure what people expected. Like for example if you do what the 2010 remake did, Mr Miyagi wouldn't be Mr Miyagi anymore.
The Lord of the Rings Extended UHD Remasters [2020]
The greatest trilogy ever created, now in 4k.
However, as mind-boggling as this may sound. As far as I understand, this isn't actually a full re-scan of the original film... so down a point before the case has even been opened.
Speaking of which, the discs, holy shit, I went through 3 sets before being able rip everything.
The first set had a dud disc 5, the second set had a dud disc 3, and 5, the third had a dud disc 2.
Lets just say, this is perfect example of why someone would sail the high seas.
Was finally able to get a good enough copy in May.
Anyway onto the actually films themselves. That's what we're here for right?
Apparently they did do a 4k re-scan of some FotR sceans. And they do look good.
Not fantastic but 35mm is well, 35mm.
The scenes with lots of VFX look a heck of a lot better now, so there's that.
There's several other changes in terms of colouration. I don't really care for one version over the other.
Also not sure what the origin of it is but my copies had some bad audio flutter.
Particularly near the end of RotK.
Assuming you can get a good copy, I tentatively recommend getting it if you've got he blu-rays or aren't as infatuated with it as I am.
Source Code [2011]
I quite like this one.
Plenty of fun. Particularly the bit with the train.
Star Trek; The Original Series
So this was an interesting watch. The 60's really were a different time.
If you've seen the newer movies/shows and wanna see where it all began, I recommend it.
