Big Picture Big Sound

Big Picture Big Sound was founded by two enthusiasts: a film lover and an electronics expert who believed that there should be a dedicated website for everything related to movies, HDTV, and home theater systems. Chris Boylan, the tech-savvy partner, and Joe Lozito, the cinema aficionado, attended the same college in upstate New York, albeit five years apart. Their paths finally crossed in a sushi restaurant in New York City. Fast forward twelve years, filled with numerous adventures and some run-ins with unusual characters, including blue meanies, underworld bosses, orcs, goblins, and a troublesome Sith lord, and thus, Big Picture Big Sound came to life.

Sinners Movie Review

6 days ago | bigpicturebigsound.com | Will Bjarnar

The primary thing that made Ryan Coogler such an inspired choice to helm Marvel's two "Black Panther" projects (so far) was how focused the director remained on ensuring that his singular vision as a filmmaker was not to be denied, not even from within the confines of Disney's superhero-run recycling plant.
Get a $2,500 Discount on Tesla Model 3 With New Referral Code Offer

2 months ago | bigpicturebigsound.com | Chris Boylan

By Chris Boylan Tesla had a bit of a wild ride last year. With its first drop in year over year sales growth and a CEO who has been a bit distracted (to say the least), the company has taken a bit of a hit. But Tesla continues to be the top-selling electric car in the world with a strong value proposition, best-in-breed self-driving software and an extensive high speed charging network that leads the industry. With the federal EV tax incentive still in effect in the United States (for now)...
Gladiator II Movie Review

Nov 14, 2024 | bigpicturebigsound.com | Will Bjarnar

Close to this time last year, Ridley Scott released a historical epic about a complicated leader with enemies aplenty that multiple historians panned in terms of the picture's historical accuracy. The film in question, "Napoleon," was cloaked in imprecision, but Scott couldn't have cared less.
31 Days of Halloween, Redux - Week 1

Oct 11, 2024 | bigpicturebigsound.com | Lora Grady

When I began writing for Big Picture Big Sound over 15 years ago, I was pretty up-front about my passion for scary movies. In fact, my first assignment ever for the site was 2009's "Orphan," which I deemed "an often-histrionic, quasi-Gothic entry in the long line of "evil child" movies" and gave a whopping two stars (translation: OK) on BPBS's four-star scale.

By Chris Boylan TCL has jumped the gun on Black Friday TV deals putting its massive 98-inch "Q Class" TV on sale now.

Get a $1,000 Discount on a Tesla Model Y, 3, S or X with Referral Code

Sep 2, 2024 | bigpicturebigsound.com | Chris Boylan

By Chris Boylan When Tesla suspended their referral program earlier this year, Elon Musk told customers on X that the program would return with some tweaks. Last month (August, 2024), the company made good on that executive promise with a revised Tesla referral program that rewards buyers and referrers with significant bonuses. Right now that bonus is a $1,000 discount for buyers of a Model S, Model 3, Model X or Model Y, and a $500 credit for the referrer. To get the discount, just use a...
Twisters Movie Review

Jul 19, 2024 | bigpicturebigsound.com | Will Bjarnar

The first time Glen Powell's "tornado-wrangling" YouTube sensation Tyler Owens appears in Lee Isaac Chung's "Twisters" it's for a split second about 25 minutes in, and he's half-hidden behind his tricked-out truck's dusty windshield. But one thing - or, 28-32 things - remain(s) unmistakable: His teeth. Were this a cartoon, a twinkling light would bounce off his canines to emphasize their eggshell-white shine.
2024 TV Shootout Will Determine Best MiniLED and OLED TV Bragging Rights

Jul 17, 2024 | bigpicturebigsound.com | Chris Boylan

By Chris Boylan It's hard to believe it has been twenty years since Robert Zohn, owner of premium A/V retailer Value Electronics, hosted the first TV Shootout, but it's true. Since 2004, every year but one, the company has hosted a competition among the top performing TVs to determine which has the best overall picture quality; which model is the current King of TVs? At first, the TV Shootout was hosted in the Value Electronics store, but in more recent years, with the involvement of...
Kinds of Kindness Movie Review

Jun 20, 2024 | bigpicturebigsound.com | Will Bjarnar

Calling Yorgos Lanthimos an acquired taste is like calling a plate of broccoli "dessert." The Greek auteur has made his name in cinema l'inconfort, s'il vous plaît, and in eight features has yet to care whether or not his film's audiences are pleased or left smiling by the time the credits roll. One might go so far as to say his films are pearl-clutchers, works that take common themes and kick them in the noggin rather than flipping them on their heads.
Marantz M1 and M4 Powered Network Streamers Bring Audiophile Streaming to Every Room

May 28, 2024 | bigpicturebigsound.com | Chris Boylan

By Chris Boylan Today, Marantz unveiled not just one but two new network streamers for audiophiles. And these ones include built-in 100 Watt/channel power amps so all you need to add is a pair of standard passive loudspeakers for an instant high-res audio streaming system. One is ideal for a standard two-channel HiFi rig while the other includes four independent zones and eight channels of amplification to drive a synchronized whole home music system. The Marantz M1 network stereo amplifier...
