Home Theater

I have probably talked about this on my blog before, but it is a topic that has interested me ever since I have gotten into the DVD groove 9 years ago. This advancement has changed the home entertainment industry.

Home theaters is the way of taking the feeling and enviroment of being in a movie theater and bringing it home. If you ever go to a bookstore like Barnes and Nobles, or maybe even Best Buy, you look for magazines like Home Theater, Electronic House, and Sound & Vision, and you will see that the statement can be taken literally. When I first learned about home theaters 9 years ago, it totally changed the way that I saw the potential of actually watching a movie at home.

Pictures like the one above show the potential that one can do to set up a home theater, which is amazing. I don’t have the money to do this, and probably not everyone can go this far with the advanced equipment, however we do have so many open options to us that allow us to set our own little home theater for a reasonable price. A simple home theater can be set up by getting a big screen TV along with a surround sound system and a DVD or Blu-Ray player.

If you want to see how a decent home theater can be built, you can go to a specified home theater store, and one example is Theater Xtreme. I like going to these stores because they are fun to just sit down and see demo rooms on what a home theater can look like. Yes, I don’t have the money to get one so advanced, but they are still fun to see. It blows my mind on how the home entertainment industry has changed. It is great to see that the feeling of going to the movies can be brought home. Of course, it is always fun to go to the movies to check out the new releases.

Speaking of the home entertainment industry, there are a few movies coming out on DVD and Blu-Ray tomorrow. There is W., which is the story of George Bush, played by Josh Brolin. We also are getting Back to the Future on DVD again, this time, they are being released as individual movies, so if you only liked the first one, you can pick that one up and not have to worry about the other two. Unfortunately, it is only available on DVD for the moment, not Blu-Ray, but I am sure they will release one soon. As well, they are releasing Street Fighter on DVD and Blu-Ray, Street Fighter was released back in 1994, it starred Jean Claude Van Damme, and is based on the popular video game back in the day. They are releasing a new Street Fighter movie at the end of this month, so this movie is probably trying to promote the new film. There are other releases tomorrow as well.
