  5. Thanks again for the new requests. I'll add them to the list in the coming days. Start watching some movies, folks, and vote on them! I'm going to have an avalanche of measurements from all the new requests that I was able to source locally, and we need to clear some space on the forums so there aren't so many movies hanging out waiting for more or tiebreaker votes. Out of the Furnace and Frozen are two that come immediately to mind.
  6. Thanks for all the requests, lfe man. I added them to the spreadsheet list, even old Robocop and Blade Runner! It feels like you're passing the torch. We'll try to live up to the high standards you've set.

  8. It got measured awhile back: http://data-bass.ipbhost.com/index.php?/topic/12-the-low-frequency-content-thread-films-games-music-etc/?view=findpost&p=1779
  9. The Book Thief (5.1 DTS-HD MA) Level - 2 Star (105.48dB composite) Extension - 3 Stars (19Hz) Dynamics - 5 Stars (35.92dB!!!) Execution - 3 Stars (by poll) Overall - 3.25 Stars Recommendation - Buy (by poll) PvA:
  10. Reasonable Doubt (5.1 DTS-HD MA) Level - 1 Star (102.3dB composite) Extension - 5 Stars (1Hz) Dynamics - 4 Stars (27.13dB) Execution - 3 Stars (by poll) Overall - 3.25 Stars Recommendation - Rent (by poll) PvA:
  11. Marley (5.1 DTS-HD MA) Level - 1 Star (104.33dB composite) Extension - 4 Stars (13Hz) Dynamics - 5 Stars (33.89dB) Execution - 3 Stars (by poll) Overall - 3.25 Stars Recommendation - Buy (by poll) Notes: While not a bass movie, I figured I'd measure it since I got it from Netflix. Pretty solid documentary if you're a fan of Bob. It has one big bass moment that goes deep; otherwise the bass is all reggae bass riffs appropriately high in the range. PvA:
  12. Clash of the Titans (5.1 DTS-HD MA) Level - 3 Stars (108.65dB composite) Extension - 5 Stars (1Hz) Dynamics - 5 Stars (27.92dB) Execution - 4 Stars (by poll) Overall - 4.25 Stars Recommendation - Rent (by poll) PvA:

  14. Megamind (7.1 TrueHD) Level - 2 Stars (106.73dB composite) Extension - 4 Stars (14.9Hz) Dynamics - 5 Stars (32.92dB) Execution - 4 Stars (by poll) Overall - 3.75 Stars Recommendation - Buy (by poll) Notes: Another animated movie that does fairly well, aside from being lower level. PvA:
  15. Kung Fu Panda (5.1 TrueHD) Level - 3 Stars (108.74dB composite) Extension - 3 Stars (19Hz) Dynamics - 5 Stars (32.41dB) Execution - 4 Stars (by poll) Overall - 3.75 Stars Recommendation - Buy (by poll) Notes: Speaking of animated movies, this is a legendary bass movie because of the Skadoosh scene. The rest of it is pretty good, too, although it has a steep filter/rolloff of the bass starting @ 26Hz.. Solid sound design & mixing, great animation, and a decent plot make for a very good presentation all-around. This one's among my favorite animated movies of all time. PvA: Skadoosh Scene
  16. Walking With Dinosaurs 2013 (5.1 DTS-HD MA) Level - 3 Stars (109.44dB composite) Extension - 5 Stars (1Hz) Dynamics - 5 Stars (29.83dB) Execution - 5 Stars (by poll) Overall - 4.5 Stars Recommendation - Rent (by poll) Notes: This one has legit content down low, but it's a terrible movie - couldn't even make it halfway through, and I generally like animated kids movies. I'll add some graphs of the content later. PvA:
  17. We'll see how Smaug shapes up when I measure it sometime next week. I updated the spreadsheet to include links to each measurement. Let me know if you find any errors. I'll start working on those extra columns soon. The track type and release year will both take a fair bit of time to compile.
  18. 47 Ronin (5.1 DTS-HD MA) Level - 2 Stars (106.52dB composite) Extension - 1 Stars (38Hz) Dynamics - 5 Stars (29.18dB) Execution - 1 Star (by poll) Overall - 2.25 Stars Recommendation - Rent (by poll) Notes: This is not an April Fool's Day joke. It really has a -10dB point of 38Hz. Hah! PvA:
  19. All good suggestions, bao. Thanks! I'll start working on getting those added, but it'll probably take a little while.
  20. After remeasuring it, I spent last night rewatching Brave. It's a pretty decent flick, and I agree with the 4 star execution rating. It doesn't have much under 20Hz, but it does have some good sound design and surround work. There's one spot where the mix really thumped me in the chest, maybe moreso than any single effect in a movie I've seen in awhile.
  21. Flight of the Phoenix - Barrel Roll The Incredible Hulk - Cop Car Smash How To Train Your Dragon - Dragon Crash Lone Survivor - Chopper Scene Black Hawk Down - Fucking Irene! Battle: Los Angeles - Final Fight (1:43:07 - 1:44:00) Requested: X-Men 1st Class: Missile scene ALVH: Chapter 10
