Home Theatre - Enjoy the magic of movies at your home!!

Image
The dimensions of a room are one of the most overlooked features when one decides to get a quality Home Theater. The Size and shape of your room can affect the quality of your Home Theater system. The dimensions of your room will determine how the sound will interact with your walls especially low frequency sound waves. The ideal shape of a room would be rectangular. However it's better to stay away from rooms where the length and width are double of the height. Let's take for example if the height of your home theater system is about 8', the length and width should not be 16' x 24' both which are multiples of 8, try altering about one dimension by a foot and it should be fine. A square shaped room would be the least acoustic friendly shaped that you can have. If one has invested quite a bit of buying their AV system, the weakest link in the home theater system would be the acoustic properties of the room. Any room for that matter requires some sort of acous...

Cool Ideas for Your Home Theater

Image
So you have your home theater equipment and you're ready to set up your new room, but you want to make sure you make it, well, as cool as possible. It's already pretty special that you get to set up this room for your family. Why not add a few special touches that will make it excellent. Here are some ideas making your home theater really cool. 1. Go vintage Use history's theaters as a model for yours. Think of those decadent 1920s theaters with the big gold double doors. Even if you don't get the doors, you can still model your room off of those elegant red carpets and red plush seats. Consider covering the walls with wood paneling and vintage sconces that give the room a rich feeling when they're on. If you want to really drive the idea home, get those chairs monogrammed. This Parisian opera house feel is great for classic movie buffs and people who love all things vintage. 2. Go man cave If your theater is mostly going to serve as a man cave f...

Throwing a Star Trek Party

Image
Star Trek isn't everyone's cup of tea. However, there are millions of people who adore Star Trek. It's something that spans generations, can be cerebral, exciting and even "cool." Whatever you thought of the latest incarnation of the franchise, it did bring the Star Trek even more into the mainstream, and made it much more acceptable to throw a star trek party! Star Trek parties are great because there are all sorts of Star Trek props and products out there. It's never been easier to furnish your home with a wide range of Star Trek related goodies. Whether it's a mock up of the holodeck or a couple of fasers dotted around the room. Star Trek has inspired lots of music over time. William Shatner leant his voice (ahem) to various covers of some classic tracks, and songs like Star Trekkin' are guaranteed to get the party started. If you want to broaden your theme, then you could of course use anything related to space. Finally of course, you've ...

G.I. Joe 2 Pushed Back to 2013 to Get 3D Treatment

Image
Summer movie lineup in 2012 has lost one of its most anticipated titles. It has been reported that Paramount Pictures has decided to push back the release date for "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" from June 29 this year to March 29, 2013. According to Deadline, the sudden decision was made in order to give the action movie a 3D treatment. "We're going to do a conscientious 3D job because we've seen how it can better box office internationally," explained the studio exec to the film site. "Jim Cameron did all of 'Titanic' 3D in post - and look how well that movie turned out." Paramount seemingly made a right decision given that 3D format is more promising internationally with Russia and China building new 3D theaters this week. Though so, Hollywood is shocked over the postponement news since Paramount has been massively promoting "G.I. Joe 2" including making a Super Bowl ad earlier this year. As for another reason why the high-octane...
