Over the past two weeks, I've been evaluting the new subwoofer. We got the Polk PSW404 to match the center and rear speakers. But, once upon opening the box, it looked too big. I started to think we could get away with the next size down. But we have a two week grace period, so I decided to evaluate its performance. To complete the evaluation, we rented some movies that we normally wouldn't have. Along with watching several movies over the holidays, I've seen more than my usual share the past three weeks and I thought I'd write one-line reviews of each.
- Lord of the Rings: Return of the King: Ummm...WOW. Best way to conclude the best movie epic ever.
- How to Loose a Guy in 10 Days: I know, I know. But actually, it was quite humorous and entertaining, though predictable. Plus, my boy Cory Claffey-Koller assisted the director excellently. You could just tell the movie benefitted from him.
- Seabiscuit: Excellent feel good movie, but it didn't make me cry like it has other dudes.
- Phone Booth: Really short. At 1:15, I felt like I got ripped off by Blockbuster for the $4 rental. Plus, I thought they'd blow more stuff up.
- S.W.A.T.: No, I'm not sweet for Colin. The action scenes were good with some really, really, reeeeaaaaallly weak dialouge. The character interaction led me to believe that I was in Screenwriting 101.
- Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle: Before you start yelling, this was strictly for the subwoofer, not me. I thought the Enzo Ferrari had the best body. Forget about those 40 year-olds. This movie is totally skippable otherwise.
Final eval on the sub I think is to keep it. I think we'd miss the power if we took the step down.
