Well, I decided to make the garage my new home theater!!..Its 16x25, so its a good space...I painted my screen on and built the frame around it..Its 140" and looks great!!..Cant wait to upgrade my projector!!...I'm just getting around to painting..next thing is running the speaker wires and installing the base moulding and ceiling..

I'm starting to build my own system from scratch. I was thinking about getting TC Sounds LMS 18" for the subwoofer. How should I build the cabinet for these subs. I was thinking of making a closed enclosure but how big?

Releasing/Participating Studio(s): Lions Gate Disc/Transfer Information: Region 1; Anamorphic Widescreen 2.39:1 Rating: PG-13 Running Time: 101 Minutes Tested Audio Track: English Dolby Digital 5.1 EX Director: Rob Cohen Starring Cast: Tyler Perry, Matthew Fox, Rachel Nichols, Edward Burns, Jean Reno, John C. McGinley PLOT ANALYSIS: I know I’m a bit late to the Alex Cross party, but I finally got around to catching this latest installment taken from novels by the author that brought us Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls after sifting through piles of other titles I was scheduled to review. I wasn’t a fan of those two aforementioned thriller films and which starred Morgan Freeman in the role of the title character Tyler Perry plays here; for whatever reason, Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls weren’t very memorable to me. Thus, what we have here is Rob “Fast and the Furious” Cohen creating a film version of what is supposed to be a sort of prequel story to those tales – this all begins to fall into the category that Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal and Red Dragon do, applying characterization angles as used in the Tom Clancy novel-sourced films like Hunt for Red October, Sum of All Fears and Clear and Present Danger…what do I mean by all of this? Well, the “Hannibal Lecter” story so expertly woven from Silence of the Lambs forward begins to dabble in the “which one was the prequel…the sequel…or the backstory?” while the Tom Clancy novel-based films take a character – Dr. Ryan – and has him played by several different actors throughout the film variants, i.e. Alec Baldwin, Ben Affleck and Harrison Ford. That’s what seems to be happening with Cohen’s Alex Cross – Morgan Freeman played this title character in Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls, yet here he’s substituted for one Tyler Perry who appears to be better suited for his Madea parodies or Why Did I Get Married yarns. Further, we get a story that I believe was supposed to be a prequel or origin tale of some sort surrounding this character, his job and his life – and so this is like a fusion of those elements I mentioned above, with some lovely-to-look-at young ladies and Edward Burns on board as well. Something was just missing from this film that I can’t put a finger on; it was almost as if you were watching a made-for-Lifetime network feature of some kind…it lacked kinetic magnetism and felt like Perry was completely wrong for this role. If this was indeed a prequel of some kind, casting someone to appear like a younger Morgan Freeman made sense – but I don’t know if Perry was the right choice. Further, while frightening in his own way and menacing in a Bane-like fashion, Matthew Fox’s wide-eyed, off-the-wall head-twitching killer character was a bit offputting and confusing; is he supposed to be a serial killer? A hit man for hire? Both? Coming off such roles as a dirty secret service agent in Vantage Point, this was a turn of performance for Fox – but I’m not so sure it worked. In fact, I think the drop-dead-gorgeous Caddy CTS coupe he drives throughout Alex Cross was more intriguing than the character itself. The story takes place in metropolitan Detroit, where Perry’s Alex Cross character works as some kind of hybrid homicide detective/forensic psychologist called onto murder scenes for his abilities to figure out crime loopholes and draw out clues. His partner is a quasi-womanizing type played by Edward Burns (The Holiday, Saving Private Ryan) who is called in to assist Cross on a rather violent multiple-homicide in a swanky mansion one evening. In the midst of a “romantic interlude” let’s just say with one of his flings-of-the-week who he thinks he may be in love with, Burns’ character gets a cell phone call from Cross who appears to be shaken by what
