Speaking of Dolby Vision...
The Shining 4K:
1: I'm in the process of backing up all my movies to MKVs on multiple drives and recently purchased a Zidoo Z9X media player for this duty. The Zidoo can handle Dolby Vision which my Sony X800 can't so I'm now able to see DV and it's flippin' spectacular. Late to the party, I know but wow, it's awesome.
2. I was sitting out of the sweet spot for this viewing as some family had come round for a Friday the 13th horror but it's amazing how you still get a really good surround effect from all speakers.
3. Such a great flick. I hadn't seen it for a couple of years and although I think I've seen it over 20 times, it's still a gem.
Jaws 4K:
1. This was another 4K DV MKV I've watched recently with family and image/surround mix (for the time)/fidelity were all tip top. This was probably the first time I've seen Jaws where I've REALLY enjoyed the whole thing.
The Addiction (1995) BD:
The Addiction
1. DTS-MA 5.1 isn't bad. It won't knock your socks off but there are discrete moments all around. There are also the odd pop and click from the surrounds which is never good but wasn't distracting and didn't monkey with the viewing experience.
2. 4K scan looked great. Well shot and acted. I'm not a big one for vampire flicks or Abel Ferrara, and while these are both, I found it an original entry into the vampire flick genre. I'd put it up there with the handful of vampire flicks that I actually like such as Nosferatu, Near Dark and The Hunger.
3. Interestingly, while MKVing the disc afterwards, There were some Abel interview outtakes that weren't accessible via the BD menu. After ~400 movie rips so far, this is the first time I've spotted something like this that's on the disc but isn't navigable via the disc menu.
