Trap and flight or fight movie reviews

-

Josh Harnett has been in boondocks for a period after a promising start to his career. 
The last good movie I saw with him in it was 30 Days of Night and that was a pretty long time ago. 

Recently he's been on a roll with some low budget but entertaining movies that have been impressive. 
The first is called Trap where he plays a serial killer whilst maintaining his cover as a blue collar loving family man. 
He has to use his wits to escape a trap set for him at a music concert and whilst he is a killer, you can't help but root for him somehow and the tight plot with good supporting cast manage to keep the show moving along nicely with good pace and despite a pretty standard plot, it succeeds in drawing you in and there's enough meat in it to keep you engaged. 

The second is sort of like Bullet Train in a plane. That movie starred Brad Pitt and a train full of assassins slugging it out for a prize. 
Here the prize is on a plane and similarly Josh has to face off against multiple enemies whilst trying to figure out what's wrong and keep alive. 
Again the plot isn't original and the budget is kept low by avoiding top tier and expensive A list actors but everyone does their part to make it a very entertaining 90 minutes. 
The people who made it worked on John Wick and make sure you see that part, but it pays dividends as the fight choreography is good and despite being a rip off of the other movie, there's enough twists and actions to keep one entertained. 
Watch it on disc or streaming because this one will probably never make it to the skies. 

Both are recommended and we hope to see more from Josh if the brace is anything to go by.

KEF LS 50 Meta review and comparison with the LS50

-
Image
The original KEF LS50 was one of those landmark speakers, a pocket rocket which performed at a much higher level than what it’s price tag might indicate. The original LS50 has been widely reviewed, and is well regarded by audiophiles everywhere.  However it does have some bite in the treble and lacks some deep bass, and works better for music which does not go too deep or with a sub to reinforce the bass. But what it does have is fabulous imaging, which allows you to how off great soundstaging, depth, and definition. If you are into details, you’ll love them. The coaxial design is also wonderful for those who sit a bit off axis. The construction is a marvel in itself and with a modern design, a beautiful gloss finish and a quality build. No wonder it’s loved by music lovers the world over. Now recently KEF has introduced the new KEF Meta. This is an updated version of the original and whilst it can look deceivingly the same, there are significant differences. First a link to the of...

-

The Confidence by Dynaudio began in 2007 and has garnered multiple positive reviews. The new C1 Platinum is the latest edition, and was launched in 2014 to replace the MK II and the Signature edition. I had previously reviewed the C1 Signature edition here: http://peteswrite.blogspot.sg/2012/09/dynaudio-confidence-1-and-2-reviews.html The technical specs off their website : http://www.dynaudio.com/home-audio/confidence/c1-platinum/ “The Esotar2 with Precision Coating, Neodymium double magnet and absorbing rear chamber provides the perfect platform for the higher frequencies, while the woofer with its MSP cone, light aluminum wire voice coil and Kapton former is also one of Dynaudio’s best. The 1st order cross-over filter consists of select components and follows a special design achieving a sound radiation slightly directed upwards. The C1 has excellent imaging and staging, while sound reflections from the floor will be considerably less than with conven...

Tips on choosing a fan and the Haiku Fan

-
Image
Fans are one thing that a home in the tropical country will need, and you may even have a few of them, either table top ones, or floor standing. They can be purely utilitarian, or they can come in fancy designs. Sometimes, you find a fan which combines both form and function, and to top it off, it is also energy efficient. In choosing a fan, you will need to decide which of the above matters more, and also take into account your budget before making a decision. The cheapest are table fans, which are simple, cheap and portable. The downside is a lack of power and may not suit your decor, and many come only in a standard design. There are some retro options: And some of the retro theme stores locally will also carry them. Ironically the price is higher for these, and if you compare to the 30-80$ for the basic ones, these usually cost 50-100% more. As for floorstanding fans, they usually come with timers and are more powerful. Some even come with remot...
