Thanks to all for the XXX and Bourne etc recommendation. Will hunt them up soon.

Regarding “Signs” husband knew I was waiting on it and brought it home last night for me. If you have not seen this movie at the theater I highly recommend it for a fun evening.

It sports only DD 5.1 and a THX optimizer on the purchased DVD.

The transfer is not of the best quality, AKA ‘LOTR’ but adequate.

However the audio is a blast on a 950/770/ Vienna Acoustic Setup.

This may sound weird but for a complete audio treat and especially those who love the styling of past directors and movies “Alfred Hitchcock” and the “The Birds” don’t skip the opening credits.

The score is VERY retro on opening credits and gets you in the correct mode for what’s coming. Watch it early in the evening so you won’t scare the neighbors cranking the volume. As the orchestra strikes crescendo notes starting halfway through credits the Credit itself disappears with the same speed as the emphasized cord in a sort of tunnel effect. Roll opening credits with your dB up and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Lots of old time scary ‘bump’ in the night, edge of your seat fun.

For the sound alone, - Worth a rental/purchase for the fun score played through any capable subwoofered HT setup.

Back to the grind.
