Hey Scarface! I noticed the .mkv movie files on your PC. Do you watch the movies on your computer or on your TV? I'm asking because in my case, the movies I've downloaded that can be viewed on the TV from a flashdrive are .mp4 (X264), .avi or .aac. The TV won't play .mkv unless I convert it first. Other than a short clip, I much prefer to sit back and watch on the TV.

Since these files are Blu-Ray rips, I was going to ask how would you burn them to a BD. I'm seeing Burnaware also does this. I just checked and it was ready to burn one of my files to a BD disk, I just don't have one - nor a Blu-Ray burner either.  :)

I have no TV, its keeping me from becoming grumpy and silly and no dvd drive nor bluray drive (so I watched movies on my laptop, I don't do it any longer because I don't have the time). I just store them on a usb key. there is no difference between mkv & mp4 they are just containers.

to aa1234779: try "truth or dare", "the moth diaries" or "claustrofobia" (dutch). you shouldn't be disappointed. if you want a french movie, try le chomeur de clochemerle (1957), though I'm not sure you'll find subtitles.

for aa1234779, a few classics:
the good the bad and the ugly, goldeneye, the glass house...
a french movie with de funes: les aventures de rabbi jacob.

Recently Ive watched a rather twisted, violent movie, but it was in fact excellent: stoker. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uwz80C1bPM
Im sure aa1234779 will like it.

lol

aa1234779 that can't hurt a fly doesn't enjoy violence at all. A horror or action movie that is great has to be realistic, so the violence just comes with the package, not a joy in its self.

BTW, the " les aventures de rabbi jacob" was quite funny..

This is a good site to dig into..

I know aa1234779 is mystic, I couldn't recommend a violent movie. There are scenes of violence, but overall the movie is great. Watch It and tell me.

Against cruelty - humane maybe but not mystic whatever you mean by it :D
I can watch anything but there is no point in seeking out violent entertainment.. I watch the walking dead regularly because it's entertaining not because it's violent..
As to the movie.. The photography is amazing especially the seen of the hair transitioning into hay fields.. that was amazing..
The story is awkward & paranormal twists usually come with plot holes making them hard to comprehend..

Reminds me of..
Red Lights (2012)
Donnie Darko (2001) this movie is awesome..
