    he Girl Next Door hit theaters in April of '04—a mere five years ago—but judging by the film's 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer, you might think the film was shot anytime between 1994 and 2000. Simply put, the movie looks older than its years, as it's neither as sharp, clean, nor detailed as you'd expect a post-millennial film—even a modestly budgeted comedy—to be. The film doesn't look bad per se, just dated. The first thing you'll notice is the grain that tends to swarm over not just darker shots, but even some brighter indoor scenes. Now, I'm all for a filmic, cinematic look—if a film was shot on film, I want it to look that way—but even I was distracted by some of the more splotchy, pulsating patches, where grain flickers with bouts of contrast wavering. While there are some punchy hues in the color palette—the vivid purples, pinks, and blues of the strip club and the Adult Film Convention come to mind—most of the film has a dull, slightly washed-out look that could benefit from deeper blacks and a bit of contrast tweaking. Outdoor, daytime scenes fare the best—like when Kelly comes to recruit girls at Matthew's high school—and it's only here that the film takes on a mor

2.The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

he Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is a 2014 high fantasy adventure film, directed by Peter Jackson and written by Jackson, Fran WalshPhilippa Boyens, and Guillermo del Toro. It is the third and final installment in Peter Jackson's three-part film adaptation based on the novel The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien, following An Unexpected Journey (2012) and The Desolation of Smaug (2013), and together they act as a prequel to Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.

Produced by New Line CinemaMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer and WingNut Films, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, The Battle of the Five Armies was released on 11 December 2014 in New Zealand, 12 December 2014 in the United Kingdom and on 17 December 2014 in the United States.

The Extended Edition release of The Battle of the Five Armies includes three BD-50 discs: the first featuring the new R-rated, 164-minute cut of the film (with no intermission or disc swaps to be had), while the other two are devoted to more than ten hours of high definition bonus content. Moreover, the quality of the Extended Edition's 1080p/AVC-encoded presentation is virtually identical to its March 2015 theatrical version counterpart. There's some minor but noticeable crush here and there, as well as a few anomalies born from Jackson's at-times aggressive digital color grading and green-screen trickery, but none of it proves all that distracting. Even the darkest scenes look great, without much to nitpick or criticize. Colors are largely bleak and wintry, with searing skies and ominous shadows framing a rather stark image, gray, blue and purple tones dominating the palette throughout the film's titular battle, and high contrast whitewashing a number of overcast scenes. Several sequences offer richer, warmer hues -- Smaug's attack in particular -- but these are the exception rather than the rule. Still, it's perfectly in step with Jackson and cinematographer Andrew Lesnie's intentions and quite stunning on the whole, not to mention free from significant artifacting, banding, aliasing and other issues. Detail is terrific too, with crisp, razor-sharp edges, refined textures and revealing close-ups. All told, like the two films before it, the third and final chapter in The Hobbit trilogy delivers the high definition goods.

the Flash is a superhero appearing in American comic books published byDC Comics. Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Harry Lampert, the original Flash first appeared in Flash Comics #1 (January 1940).[1]

Nicknamed the "Scarlet Speedster", the "Crimson Comet", "The Blur", and "The Streak", all incarnations of the Flash possess "super speed", which includes the ability to run and move extremely fast, use superhuman reflexes, and seemingly violate certain laws of physics. Thus far, four different characters—each of whom somehow gained the power of "super-speed"—have assumed the identity of the Flash: Jay Garrick (1940–present), Barry Allen (1956–1985, 2008–present), Wally West (1986–2006, 2007–2012, 2013–present), and Bart Allen (2006–2007). Before Wally and Bart's ascension to the mantle of the Flash, they were both Flash protégés under the same name Kid Flash (Bart was also known as Impulse).

The second incarnation of the Flash, Flash (Barry Allen), is part of theSilver Age of comic books. Each version of the Flash has been a key member of at least one of DC's premier teams: the Justice Society of America, the Justice League, and the Teen Titans.

The Barry Allen version of the character (with Wally West elements) was featured in a live action television series, simply titled The Flash, in 1990, starring John Wesley Shipp. The Wally West version of the Flash (but with many elements of Barry Allen's story) is featured in the animated seriesJustice League. All four incarnations of the character have appeared in theYoung Justice animated series, with the Wally West version of Kid Flash as a main character in the first season.

A new television series, also simply titled The Flash, starring Grant Gustinin the title role premiered on the CW on October 7, 2014. This new program features a younger Barry Allen with numerous elements of the earlier show as well as using many characters from the larger DC

The character has undergone changes through the years, but the typical image of him is a dashing black-clad masked outlaw who defends thecommoners and indigenous peoples of the land against tyrannical officials and other villains. Not only is he too cunning and foxlike for the bumbling authorities to catch, but he also delights in publicly humiliating them.

The character has been featured in numerous books, films, television series, and other media. Juan Nepomuceno Cortina and Joaquin Murrietaare cited as inspirations for Zorro.[2][3]
