Sean and Kendra

So Sean and I went yesterday to see Avatar in 3D.  It was absolutely one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.  I am not one to go see movies twice especially when they cost as much as a 3D movie, but I would go see it again and again.  The effects were cool and the images so vivid.  I knew nothing prior about the Avatar story, but it was a cool story line.  Overall I give it 4 stars.

* Cost – As chipsets with HD capable integrated graphics processors enter the market, the cost of the system can be a fraction of a high-end commercial solution such as TiVo.
* Quality – HTPCs can rival high end dedicated devices.
* Features – such as pause live tv, usually a feature of high end dedicated devices.
* Digital media recorder
* Media server – The HTPC can serve media files to other computers / devices on a network.
* Gaming – Plays any PC game and application within the game or application’s system requirements.
* Other media – HTPCs can store photo albums and play other media files.
* Other functions – other functions may include weather forecast, online radio streams, TV schedule, webcam, etc.
* Other software – other software, such as downloading or file serving, can be run, perhaps in the background.
* All-In-One – The features found in a HTPC would usually require more than one dedicated component.

So we just got back from Transformers 2 and all I have to say is BLOCK BUSTER!  From beginning to end this was what I expected from a sequel.  The movie was awesome and if you haven’t seen it go now!
