Movies – 3D, IMAX

This page is dedicated to 3D films, as well as others that I consider really special.  Most are on Blu-Ray 3D and require a special player (A 3D one) and a special TV (Yep, a 3D one).  As an alternative, a 3D projector can be used and shone onto a white back drop (in reality you can shine it on any back drop you want but it isn't going to work well.

In my home I have 3D theater system that includes a surround sound system, a 3D player and a passive TV.  I also have an active 3D projection system that I use for portability purposes.

Active 3D systems require electronic glasses that rapidly alternate turning each eye on and off to create the 3D illusion.  A passive 3D systems requires special glasses that doesn't require any electronics.

I also have a small collection of the old style red/blue 3D movies.  These are generally on DVD only require the goofy looking red/blue glasses and does not require any special TV or projector to utilize.

Though most 3D TV;s and some Blu-Ray players have the ability to convert to 3D on the fly, the 3D illusion is not as good as if the video was actually presented in 3D.

More about 3D coming soon.

My cousin’s daughter brought to my attention a defect in my categorization of the 3D movies. She stated that Captain America should come before Amazing SpiderMan.

Do I have egg on my face or what? My Waverly elementary education taught me that adjectives go in front of the rest. So I thought Amazing, being an adjective, should be first.

However, her higher degree of education (is it possible that she is educated beyond her ability) states differently and that I should instead categorize the movies by the degree of hotness of the main characters.

I can see this creating a lot of hard feelings among my male friends, so please let me apologize in advance. I will do my best to be non-biased when ranking the movies.

I could use a little though. I need to know which is hotter, Chewbacca or the Hulk? Choosing between IronMan or Thor, the answer is obviously Jim Carrey. And for television, do I go with Jaleel White (Steve Erkel) or Joseph Gordon-Levitt? And do I rate them on their appearances now or when they were a younger, dreamer individual?  And where exactly does Jim Worrell (the "Hey Vern" guy) fit in?  Sure near the top but a little clarification would be nice.

Come back and see if you agree with my categorization choices. And thanks Aricka, for bring this to my attention. In the mean time, I’ll leave the movies in a mostly alphabetized (not my preferred method but it’ll do) manner.
