It’s that time of year again, which means it’s time for another 4seating.com Thanksgiving movie list!  Last year, we presented a list of comedies to help lighten the mood with friends and family around the dinner table.  This year, we look at the oft-overlooked Thanksgiving drama, where the potential for anger, hurt, and redemption when estranged family members are forced together for the holidays, leads to acting fireworks.  These movies may be heavier, and not necessarily recommended for extended family viewing with children–but they resonate long after viewing and are great not just for Thanksgiving, but for any time of year.

1. ROCKY(1976):  With the release of Creed next week, the Rocky saga moves on to its next chapter–but it’s the original Oscar-winning classic that has one of its pivotal scenes revolve around the Thanksgiving holiday.  When Rocky’s friend Paulie insists that his sister Adrian date Rocky by throwing her Thanksgiving turkey in the garbage, a legendary screen romance is born. The two go to an ice skating rink together and on that late November night, they bond in a  way that will provide the emotional bedrock for all of the boxing drama to come.  One wonders if the new film opening in a few days will also have a key Thanksgiving moment.

2. THE ICE STORM, 1997.  Although it bombed at the box office on release, The Ice Storm has since been reappraised as an early indication of director Ang Lee’s genius.  A strong ensemble cast including Kevin Kline, Cristina Ricci, and Elijah Wood help portray two upper class families navigating the tumultuous social climate of the early 70s.  There’s liberal doses of drugs, sexual experimentation (including swapping of partners), and the aforementioned ice storm which brings with it nature’s own commentary on the drama.  This riveting film is one of the best Thanksgiving tales ever told; its intensity is a stark contrast to most holiday fare.  Not suitable for young children, but adults may find it utterly engrossing.

3. THE WAR AT HOME, 1996.  Emilio Estevez directed this film which also bombed on release, in spite of being praised in the years since as a tour-de-force for the underrated actor/director.  In it, he plays a returning Vietnam vet suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder who decides to confront his father, who would not help him avoid the draft; he causes scene after scene at the Thanksgiving table until the whole thing boils over in a truly emotional climax.  Martin Sheen, who plays the father (and is Estevez’s father in real life), also gives a bravura performance. The chemistry between the two is palpable and one wonders why they did not star in more films together.

4. THE MYTH OF FINGERPRINTS, 1997. Yet another mid-90s Thanksgiving flop given a retrospective critical reappraisal, this film stars Julianne Moore and Roy Scheider as part of a family whose reuniting for the holiday sends them into a tailspin.  A son who has been missing for three years shows up unexpectedly to the feast, as past childhood demons are dragged out of the closet and given an airing.  It’s a touching and sensitive film that is still waiting to be discovered by the public at large.

5. HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, 1995.  Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr., Anne Bancroft, and Claire Danes cause holiday ruckus when they reunite, with assorted family traumas leading to feigned enjoyment, argument, and reconciliation in the grand tradition of Thanksgiving dramas.  This film, however, adds in a light dose of comedy to keep things from lapsing into melodrama, and as a mix of the two styles it’s ideal for most audiences.  As with the other films in this blog, it underwhelmed at the box office but is now included in most holiday compilation lists like this one.  Some movies make a big splash on release, but are forgotten within a year; others like the ones here, are ignored and then rediscovered for the excellent films that they are.  Do yourself a favor this Thanksgiving, and watch something daring and provocative, rather than the same repeat of Planes, Trains And Automobiles for the twentieth time.  Or, just do both!

Happy Thanksgiving from 4seating.  Just remember to give thanks, and avoid doing any of the things you see happening in these movies!!

Your home theater is positively brimming with potential.  No longer is it simply a room where you sit and watch a screen; over the years, a number of exciting accessories have been introduced as available options in home theater seating, which have greatly expanded the entertainment capabilities at one’s disposal.  Lighted cup holders, ambient base lighting, wine glass caddies, cigar hosts, tablet holders, in-arm storage, and tray tables can turn your seat into an all-in one experience: add tray tables and use your seat as a dining area, or use a tablet holder to tap into the power of the internet.  Wine glass caddies enhance an evening of romance, or perhaps a chance to unwind after a long day at the office. Now, Seatcraft is proud to introduce another transformational accessory, which comes with the Madison Refreshment Sofa–a refreshment console, which is designed to turn your theater into a full-fledged bar!

This stunning accessory is small enough to slot in as a wedge in-between seats, and yet packs a lot of use within that space.  This swanky addition to any row is crafted from Leather 7000, an exclusive brand of top-grain leather that is carefully hand-picked from the top third of all hides. Leather 7000 features a supreme texture and smooth luxury appearance, which is then buffed to a sleek, polished perfection.  This material will go especially well with seats that are also fashioned with Leather 7000, such as the Aston, Grenada, and Turino, and is offered as an upgrade for these items.

The back section of this wedge console contains an upright storage unit with enough space to hold glasses, bottles, and other drinks.  It’s gorgeously back lit from behind, which allows you to see in a darkened theater, all while providing an incredible bar ambience.  It’s so easy to reach behind, grab what you need, and have enough drinks close at hand to satisfy the needs of a small party of friends or family.  Meanwhile, an in-arm storage compartment at the center of the wedge contains plenty of space to store more beverages–there’s even enough space for ice, to keep everything cool and fresh.

The front of the this console contains lighted cup holders, whose gentle azure-violet glow matches the exciting marquee ambience of the lighting in the back section.  In this way, drinks are kept safe and secure in front of you–and with the bar within arm’s reach, you never have to leave your seat for refills. In addition, a framed accent wraps around the entire wedge, enhancing the overall lighting so that when the lights are turned off, your new console will look simply awesome.  This console will instantly become the centerpiece of any party, or a romantic night spent in with a loved one.

The Madison Refreshment sofa is also much more than its centerpiece console.  This sectional, similarly crafted from Leather 7000, also comes with a handy USB/power recline switch, from which you can charge cell phones or laptops, or lay back in seconds with a chaiselounger that provides a firm buttress of support to the lower body. Padded armrests add to the level of swank comfort, also provided by padded headrests. Meanwhile, included tray tables allow one to place food, remotes, reading materials or other items within easy arm’s reach. The level of high class and craftsmanship here is a firm signature of the Seatcraft brand.

Once you have decided to take the plunge and build your own home theater, the immediate challenge is furniture setup.  Before the fun of adding decor options begins, you need to know where everything should be placed, for optimal visual and audio efficiency.  Even a small mistake in setting up screen, chair, or sound system placement can result in an awkward theater experience.  Use these tips to help you with a set up that will optimize your theater’s potential:

1) THE SCREEN: before you choose which chairs to purchase for your home theater, you need to begin with choosing a screen, and that screen’s placement in your theater.  Why?  Because the kind of screen you choose, will determine how far away you want your chairs to be placed.  Different TV screens come with different aspect ratios (ratio of height to width), which have a completely different effect on the viewer.  For further help in determining which screen type is best for your needs, see our earlier blog on this topic.  Once that is done, you will want to move on to the next component of your entertainment center:

2) THE AUDIO: Whether you choose a sound bar, stereo speakers, or a surround sound system for your home theater, make sure you choose the audio setup that fits your needs.  Sound bars take up little space and have become quite popular, but nothing beats a full surround system for true audiophiles. If you choose the surround option, however, be sure and spend time figuring out where to best place each speaker to achieve the optimum surround effect; you will want to coordinate their placement with where the seats will be placed (and for that, you need to know what type of screen you will be using).  If you choose stereo speaker towers, make sure to reserve enough space, and make sure that their larger size will blend into your planned theater decor. For further assistance on which audio setup to use, look here.

3) THE SEATS: Choosing the right home theater seat will depend on which materials, design, and features you’re looking for.  Families with children or pets may want a chair constructed with low maintenance materials, that is easy to clean.  Those looking to spend time with a loved one will want a loveseat configuration, or an optional wine class caddy accessory. Want to add an authentic lounge experience, with mini-bar capabilities?  Try the Madison refreshment console sofa.  Meanwhile, those looking to optimize the range of entertainment possibilities at their fingertips will be looking for a seat with a tablet holder or USB ports. 4seating offers home theater seats in a wide array of material, color, design, and feature combinations that make the choice easier; the Liberty or Baron are two outstanding seats which come equipped with a USB port by the power switch.

Those looking to optimize space in their home theater can take advantage of a special “wall-hugger” design which allows most chairs to be placed just three inches from any wall, even in full recline. Other home theater seats come with space-saving armrests, but even with these handy features, make sure that the theater is not cramped. You do not want a row of seats too close to the wall or right in the center of room, as neither option allows for optimal acoustics.  Experiment with the placing of your seating, to find out which placement will allow you to enjoy the sound from your home entertainment system to the fullest, and coordinate with the placement of the speakers.  Also, the actual arrangement of the seats must be carefully considered, whether you choose straight or curved, loveseat or sofa configurations.   Finally, make sure that whatever home theater seating you choose is a comfortable fit for any children; to that end, the Bebe is a special chair from Seatcraft which was specifically designed for a child’s smaller frame.

There are other things to consider as you plan: how to minimize a complicated wire setup (especially with regards to surround systems); where to place wall accents, columns, screen frames, and curtains; and whether to choose back row seating or seat risers, for multiple row configurations. For these considerations, a glance at our earlier article on home theater decor will help you decide which decor strategies can work for your individual needs.  Whichever way you end up choosing however, carefully consider the available options and have fun crafting your own perfect family home theater!

Thanksgiving is one of America’s most iconic holidays, and yet–especially compared to, say, Christmas– there are only a handful of films that orient themselves around the celebration.  Still, there are enough wonderful, family-oriented Thanksgiving films to choose from, should you decide to skip the football game this time around (or, why not double the fun and watch after the game?) The following is a shortlist of five Thanksgiving classics that don’t receive nearly enough due:

1. PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES (1987): John Hughes took time out from directing classic teenage coming-of-age comedies like Sixteen Candles and Breakfast Club, when he put Steve Martin and John Candy together for what is possibly his very finest film.  This tale of a hapless business exec just trying to make it home in time for Thanksgiving–and having to deal with an unwanted companion while a series of hilarious disasters strike around the pair–was the first film that came to mind for this article.  It is a laugh-riot through much of its length that comes to an unexpectedly heartwarming conclusion, one that celebrates the spirit of the holiday with able finesse. Over a quarter-century after its release, it remains staple Thanksgiving viewing.

2. HANNAH AND HER SISTERS, 1986.  Woody Allen’s best-received film of the 80s is not entirely focused around Thanksgiving, although the holiday does neatly bookend the plot.  The expert blend of comedy and drama is deftly handled, and the focus on a singular family–in this case, the three sisters of the film’s title–tie it further to a Thanksgiving motif.  The themes of adultery and betrayal are on the mature side, and yet there’s nothing here that can’t be viewed by the whole family (outside of perhaps young toddlers).  Both Dianne Wiest and Michael Caine give memorable performances, for which both won Supporting Actor/Actress awards at that year’s Oscars.

3. ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES, 1993.  Critically and commercially well-received at the time but somewhat forgotten since, this delightful sequel was superior to the first Addams Family film, and a worthy successor to the original 60s series.  The opening scenes–in which the Addams children concoct a riotous Thanksgiving play for their summer camp, mourning Native American genocide–are both subversive and hilarious.  This film is well-worth checking out again; you’ll be surprised at how well it has stood up over the decades.  The cast was so good, in fact, that Anjelica Huston received a Golden Globe nomination for her role as Morticia.

4. ALICE’S RESTAURANT, 1969. This film was based around a twenty-minute Arlo Guthrie folk song from 1967, which built a story narrative around a madcap crime, arrest, and police interrogation which occurs just after Thanksgiving dinner.  The film, like the song, had a strong political narrative and was seen as a counterculture indictment of the Vietnam War, the draft, and “establishment”. Although that may appear to make the film dated, it is not, as the direction and acting is superb all-around.  This film is another that has been forgotten over time, and yet is a recognized American classic.

5. A CHARLIE BROWN THANKSGIVING, 1973.  Although eclipsed by the legendary Charlie Brown Halloween and Christmas specials, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is a delight, and perfect viewing for families with small children.  Snoopy’s attempt to make Thanksgiving dinner, with toast and popcorn as the delectable entrees, will bring a silly smile to adult audiences as well.  It’s actually surprising that more children’s animated films do not focus around this family-oriented holiday–although The Simpsons have had several memorable TV episodes which take place during this time.

We here at 4seating wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.  Try not to pass out!

The close of the year generally sees a concentration of holidays that translate into big family gatherings, sales events, and religious platitudes of piety and thankfulness.  Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hannukah, and Christmas take up the lion’s share of attention, but almost lost in the shuffle is Veteran’s Day. This holiday was set up in appreciation of our men and women in uniform, and distinguishes itself from the earlier Memorial Day which honors those who have died in battle. It’s not hard to figure out why Veteran’s Day is often overlooked; there’s nothing involved in the holiday which spurs consumers out to buy food, costumes, or gifts, and so stores usually ignore it, moving straight from Halloween candy sales to discounts on turkey and stuffing.

When one considers that the United States has been at war for 13 consecutive years, however, the importance of those soldiers who have risked (and sometimes lost) their lives to protect our nation cannot and should not be sidestepped.  You don’t have to be a dogmatic flag-waving patriot, in order to appreciate the people in uniform whose stamina and courage is undoubted; or maybe you are a flag-waving patriot.  In either case, 4seating offers up this shortlist of soldier or military-themed films for your perusal on Veteran’s Day.  In compiling this list, we avoided films with an anti-war theme (ie. Apocalpyse Now, Platoon), although many of those are classics worth considering as well.

PATTON (1970)

George C. Scott’s portrayal of General George S. Patton, a heroic commander who fought several key WWII battles, is considered one of the finest performances in film history.  The opening monologue, with Scott as Patton standing proudly behind the American flag, is iconic, but Patton is much more than that. The battle sequences were state-of-the-art for their time and while film technique has moved on since then (see the films below), Scott’s performance has not aged a day. Patton also just happened to be Richard Nixon’s favorite film, but don’t let that stop you from marveling at this gritty and epic tribute to the men who fought and won the greatest conflict the world has ever known.
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN (1998)

Steven Spielberg was still primarily known as a director of sci-fi/fantasy oriented summer blockbusters when he decided to take the reigns for this WWII drama.  Sure, there had been 1993’s Schindler’s List, for which he had won the Oscar, but it was Saving Private Ryan (which won him a second Oscar) that married Spielberg’s penchant for gripping action fare with an equally compelling story.  The first 27 minutes of this film are often hailed as the most intense and realistic depiction of war ever shot, and Hanks’ performance in the lead was similarly praised.  Spielberg would go on to make further critically-acclaimed films, but this one stands as perhaps his best, and is perfect Veteran’s Day fare.
PRIVATE BENJAMIN (1980)

Goldie Hawn’s career was in high gear when she decided to co-produce this starring vehicle for herself, which went on to earn several Academy Award nominations and be included in many “all-time greatest” comedy film lists.  The Private Benjamin of the title braves army boot camp, later romances a French doctor, and then ultimately leaves him when she finds out he’s cheated.  Her stint as a soldier gives her the courage to strike out on her own; the film simultaneously works as tribute to the life of a soldier, as a feminist salvo, and as a deft mix of comedy and drama.

THE HURT LOCKER (2009)

Known primarily as the film which garnered the first-ever Oscar for a female director (Kathryn Bigelow), The Hurt Locker is a tough, gripping character study that exposes the horrors of modern-day warfare.  Although its portrayal of a bomb disposal unit in Iraq met with claims of inaccuracy from those who were actually in the field, its main character Sgt.James is complex and multi-dimensional, torn between an obsession with his work and the needs of the outside world.  The film combines spine-tingling suspense with a look at the dangers faced on a minute-by-minute basis by combat soldiers in Iraq, without being preachy or taking sides.

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS (2009)

Quentin Tarantino was never going to make an ordinary war epic, and Inglourious Basterds was unique in that it posited an alternate history of WWII with a completely different ending than the one we learn from history books.  The film is loaded with Tarantino’s trademark dialogue and quirky sense of humor, although it is perhaps Christoph Waltz’s breakout performance as Hans Landa which truly set it apart.  Waltz’s “Jew hunter” Landa was lauded as one of the most memorable film villains in years, and won him a supporting actor Oscar for the role.  Inglourious Basterds may not be the most reverent war movie ever made, but it is one of the most fun.

In the first segment of this series, we looked at the pros and cons of the various screen ratios that are available to those looking to build their home theater.  As we saw, the appropriate type of screen ratio depended on the individual needs of intended usage of the theater itself.  The same holds true when picking the kind of TV set and audio setup needed to enhance it.  In the second part of this article, we will look at both of these concerns, noting the distinct features and advantages to each model.

TV SETS:

PLASMA: The advent of the plasma TV, with its flat monitor screen and high-definition picture, revolutionized the TV industry over a decade ago. Although it took a while for prices to settle, plasma screens are a lot more affordable than they used to be.  They also still offer the best picture quality, including an extremely low variance in the all-important white and black “levels” that determine a screen’s ability to pick up detail.  Basically, when a scene on the TV screen gets bright, having low “white levels” ensure that its brightness does not overwhelm small details; similarly, when a scene is dark, a good screen will have low “black levels” ensuring that the shadow does not obscure relevant detail.  While the most dazzling plasma screens are also the most expensive, anyone investing in a good home theater will find that the rewards of consistently outstanding picture quality will trump a momentary dip in the pocketbook.

LED: This term stands for “Light Emitting Diodes”, which is how the television screen is backlit (by contrast, plasma TVs have phosphors which light up themselves).  LED screens offer several advantages that plasma screens do not: they are a bit less expensive, are lighter in weight, and consume far less power.  While the picture quality is of a slightly lesser standard, LED’s have been catching up to plasma in recent years, with one model (the Sharp Elite Pro) now offering “black levels” equivalent to the best plasmas.  It is quite possible that LED screens may equal or overtake plasmas in picture quality within the next couple of years, which means that consumers may want to keep themselves updated on these advancements as they happen. At the moment however, while more expensive to purchase and more power-consuming, plasma is still–marginally–the way to go.

AUDIO SYSTEMS:

SOUND BARS: A sound bar is the cheap, no-hassle way to get a relatively good sound system for your home theater. These items do not require routing through an endless series of complex wire connections, and their portable size makes them easy to install and convenient for those looking for a clean, space-saving option. However, they do not offer authentic surround sound capabilities (don’t be misled by ads telling you that they do), and come up a bit short when playing music (at least, compared to other options).  Those who want a good, inexpensive sound system, but aren’t the kind of audiophiles looking for the absolute best possible sound, should seek out this option.

STEREO SPEAKERS: This option is falling out of fashion, even though it used to be the standard audio setup in most homes.  Basically, we’re talking two left-right tower speakers and a receiver, for excellent-sounding stereo.  While stereo does not offer the immersive benefits of surround sound, it can frequently be just as satisfying, as the tower speakers are bigger than those used in surround systems (generally speaking, it’s still a golden rule that the bigger the speaker, the better the sound).

AV RECEIVER AND SPEAKERS: The coveted surround sound option is provided by getting an AV receiver with multiple smaller speakers, which are then placed at various points around the theater. The advantages are obvious: full, glorious surround sound.  However, the many components involved are tricky; this is the option with all those connecting wires during installation, and you’re going to have to spend some time in figuring out the right placement for each speaker, that will provide a good balance from each theater seat.  This is also the most expensive option, although as with plasma screens, the expense is often mitigated by the long-term investment one is making for their theater.  Besides, if you’re all thumbs when it comes to installing complex sound systems like this model, you can always tap the services of that friend or family member who is an expert at it!  The option is less daunting than it appears, and for hi-tech surround sound, it’s the way to go.

Although Americans are stereotypically known for having gotten fat and lazy, in reality we are among the hardest workers in the world.  No three-hour siestas or one-month vacation times for us, oh no–in fact, many Americans find themselves working overtime.  The stresses of many long hours, week after week, spent toiling at a desk or in front of a counter take a huge toll; when we come home at night it’s usually the most any of us can do to collapse on the couch in exhaustion.  Although we all wish we had our own personal masseuse to gently caress away the stresses of the workday, this is an expensive luxury seemingly out of reach to most of us.  The advent of the massage chair in the 1950s brought the idea of a piece of equipment that could replicate the experience right into one’s home, but these early models were clunky and mechanical; while they offered rudimentary vibration, they felt mechanical and it seemed like there could be no replacement for the warmth of a real human touch.  Over the years, however, the technology has been continually refined, to where the highest-end massage chairs offer a far more realistic experience than ever before.

With these new developments in mind, Seatcraft is pleased to announce the arrival of the Spectrum, one of the most sophisticated and effective massage chairs available on the market today.  The Spectrum combines an array of massage options for one of the coziest and most addictive experiences that a massage chair can offer.  The seat itself is fashioned from bonded leather, which is designed to replicate the look, texture, and feel of top grain leather with an easy maintenance and affordability.  Solid black, brown, or ivory color options will fit just about any decor option, and help make the Spectrum the centerpiece of any room.  In addition, a 46″ seat back and 23.5″ seating surface will accommodate larger sizes.

As you sit, an eight-button control panel sits to the right, from which you can customize your massage.  A power button at the center turns the device on, from which directly underneath lies the “Zero G” button.  This button will slowly tilt the chair backwards, to the coveted zero-gravity position that allows you to find your true center of gravity.  This position imparts a supreme sense of weightlessness, as if floating in perfect balance–an optimal position for a massage.  Two upper side buttons on the control panel additionally control the recline of the seat, so that you can stay in any desired position, from Zero G to fully upright!

Two lower side buttons on the control panel controls the seat’s luxurious chaiselounger, which can be extended to provide a full buttress of pampered support for the legs and feet.  Being able to control the position of the lower body as well as the upper body gives one a complete range of options.  Finally, massage buttons on the panel will gently vibrate your neck, shoulders, back, lower back, and bottom with a smooth precision.  Miss the warmth of a human touch?  A button on the left of the panel controls a seat heating function, which when combined with the vibrational massage, creates a sensational effect that will have you purring like a cat in no time.  The combination of these elements works together to create an extraordinary seating experience that is part lounge, part massage, and part contemplative Zen.

As if that weren’t enough, the Spectrum massage chair is equipped with neck and back pillows that create a soft, supportive space to further melt away stress and muscle strain.  An optional polyurethane storage console features plenty of space for the placement of essential items, along with two cup holders for the convenient placing of drinks within arm’s reach.  Turn your massage chair into a home theater seat, as you lay back to watch your favorite films with drink and remote in hand!  Watch as your friends and family clamor to experience the ethereal touch that only the Spectrum brings to the world of after-hours relaxation.
