Sorry, but you are misinformed. Cables can not influence speed of a movie. They simply (although in the case of HDMI maybe “complexly” is a more accurate term) carry the signal generated by a source device (e.g. Blu-ray player) to a display device (e.g. HDTV, projector).
That said, the amount of data that must be carried varies with video resolution and audio format … so the cable can matter. At short distances almost any HDMI cable will work perfectly, but as cable length increases the demands go up and only better cables will work for high video resolution / high bitrate audio.
Monster make OK cables, but they are WAY overpriced. See the article at the link for a good review of the issues and real world results with various cables.
I have a 1080p setup with 7.2 sound that works great … and I’ve never spent more than on an HDMI cable. For short cables see monoprice.com and for long ones see Bluejeanscables.com. Look for Category 2 certified HDMI 1.3 cables and you can’t go far wrong …. and will pay 5-10% of the price of Monster.
