Blu-ray movies are really cool. They offer really high quality picture quality. HD is the way of the future. Following my introduction to blu-ray watching DVDs is akin to poking needles in my eyes. I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshal the other day on blu-ray in my home theater and it wasn’t even close to watching it on regular DVDs. Not only the picture is improved, but so is the sound generated. I really can not say enough good things about these regular discs.

I bought a high def TV, and when I view normal TV programming or even DVD movies it seems like a waste of my time. I do not even think it’s a good way to spend my time really. I’d rather be reading or something like that as opposed to watching poor definition television. There are HD channels available, so that makes it better, but still I wish everything looked like blu-ray DVDs.

A lot of people have been put off blu-ray because they feel it’s too expensive. Yes it’s a little more money, but for the improved experience it is very worthwhile. They aren’t really overly costly. You can cheap blu-ray movies if you look for them. In reality they don’t cost all that much. One thing that can be said for sure is that they are worth the cost. I would buy blu-ray movies even if they were $100 each. As opposed to really looking at price, I’d rather consider the quality.

When I look at how far technology has come it really makes me wonder what is yet to come in our lifetime in the realm of television. In reality pouring over all that stuff in your mind is of no value. I will just live in the present. This is my reasoning why I don’t understand why people don’t pay the little more for the quality buy blue ray players. Again yes they are a bit expensive, but again yes they are worth it. Without mine I’d go crazy… not to sound crazy.

As the latest James Bond movie is soon to hit our screens, with probably a cool Aston Martin DBS at his beck and call, we look back at the greatest ever fictional cars that have hit our screens and give a brief description of them.

Bat Mobile

This has to be one of the greatest fictional motors; it is a trademark of batman and provides great protection for Bruce Wayne’s alter ego. This car is usually equipped with armour and high performance engines as well as being an anti gravity vehicle and implemented rocket boosters.

Grease the Movie

If you have not seen grease then you must be on another planet, the love film of Danny and Sandy A.K.A. John Travolta and Olivia Newton John. If you are familiar with the song “Go Grease Lighting”, you will remember the gorgeous red car that was created out of the imagination of the cast. This car was a babe magnet and had the cleanest engine I have ever had the chance to see, not to mention that it could fly!

Back to the Future

One of the greatest science fiction films of all time and probably one of the top fictional motors, Michael J Fox who starred as teenager Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd as crazy scientist Dr. Emmett Brown. This car had the ability to time travel, even watching it back now I still would love to see this vehicle. I have to say though that the second film was probably the best, as the car also ran on rubbish. If only we could use a car like that now.

Knight Rider

David Hasselhoff staring as the Knight Rider, this vehicle was a sentient talking car with artificial intelligence. I have to say that I think the KITT was the star of this movie, as people just used to tune in to see what the car would do or say next. Magnificent stunts and deserves to be up here with the rest, a true classic.

Transformers

Well these are amazing to say the least, these cars had a mind of there own and could transform into powerful destructive machines. The recent movie has propelled these cars to a top spot position.

There are plenty more fictional cars that just could not be mentioned such as the James Bond, Spy Who Loved Me, Dukes of Hazard, Men in Black and who could forget Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!
