From a comic book fan, thanks for the tip! I have not yet seen Daredevil due to mixed/poor reviews, but now I'll check out the director's cut. Cool!

Where's Craig (spiffnme)? He's an expert on this. You might even find pithy comments from him by searching the forum for Daredevil.

spiff has been rather absent. Where has that boy gone? Sweden this time?

My boy and I had a scary movie night last night. The lil lady doesn’t like them, but she was out of town, so we got our fill. Watched Final Destination 3 and The Hills Have Eyes.
I didn’t find either one to be very “scary”, but they weren’t “B” rated crap either. FD-3 in DTS 6.1 had some incredible surround and LFE’s throughout the movie. It was the first time I was catching myself looking behind me at the Q’s thinking “holy crap” those things put out some sound. There was about ten minutes when the soon to die teenagers were around, near and then on a roller coaster. It was way cool hearing it in good surround. I’m going to buy this movie just to keep around for demonstrations. Plus, I want to hear it again when I finally get the system in a dedicated room.
Even if you don’t like scary movies, you gotta rent FD-3 just to hear it. The Hills Have Eyes was OK, but didn’t really do it for me. It needed less gore and more suspense.

Watched the fantastic four last night, in DTS. Lemme tell ya, the movie was interesting for sure, but the sound effects in the movie were GREAT! I had a grin from ear to ear.
There is TONS of LFE, surround, etc. Dialogue was clear, and the bass was hitting hard, when The Thing was walking around or breaking the road or just plain 'ole crushing the truck. The scene that I liked most was them taking off in the spaceship....talk about shaking the room...the sound and vibration was AWESOME!
Need more movies like that...I do.

Just wathed 'Derailed' this evening. Must say, the movie had a nice twist. Acting wasn't all that great, but certain performances were ok, to say the least. The twist was good, though...I must admit.
Lots of dialogue in the movie, some LFE from the sub -- though this isn't really an 'action' movie, per se. Good plot, good story. They could have cut a few scenes from it...and it wouldn't harm the movie.
Recommended, nonetheless.

Watched The Matador last nite, very entertaining. Sound was pretty good too, LFE was pretty good for a non-LFE type movie.

I thought The Matador was pretty good. A good role for Brosnan.
