The Legend of Chris Farley
on September 12, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
Its amazing that after 18 years a good big scale documentary about the legendary comedian Chris Farley hasn't been produced, until now. Unfortunately the final product they was put together isn't the best. It seems as though there are large sections of content and stories left on the table and not included. Any passionate fan of Farley would have seen either the E True Hollywood Story of him or some of the other small scale documentaries made about him since his death and will quickly realized how much story is being omitted, which is a shame due to the high profile names interviewed for this project. It would seem Kevin Farley is the main personalty taking the reigns on this doc and upon the first couple of minutes you feel optimistic that this should and would be fairly comprehensive but unfortunately as a whole this one came of as rushed. Though it was still great to hear from Chris' close friends and the likes of Spade, Myers, and Sandler, most of whom are seldom heard discussing their in depth memories of Farley. This one is good for a rent or quick watch.

Its are and hard to find a good horror movie anymore, especially an original non franchised horror movie. Unfriended seemed to be at best questionable and to some laughable when the trailers for the movie initially were released, however, shockingly enough this is actually a pretty solid horror movie. The premise has been done a couple times. More recently I-Lived and Open Windows come to mind but Unfriended no doubt accomplished the "found footage/first person computer horror movie" gimmick best. The idea here is the the audience is watching the whole movie first hand through the computer screen. That means webcam, youtube, cellphone, etc, footage. Obviously the photography and the way the movie's shot isn't going to win any awards but the scares are solid and the premise is one that seems realistic enough that you're able to believe the film and all its plot, even putting yourself, if your young and get technology, in the actors shoes. A easily overlooked, but necessary, film that any horror fan should see.

Hart and Ferrell = Funny
on August 18, 2015
Posted by: reviewinlu
from Dayton, OH
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's hard to imagine a comedy with Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart being a letdown and luckily that's not what we have here. After watching the movie it did cross my mind that the movie could've been better and funnier but that's not to take away from what we're given as Get Hard is still very funny and a fun watch. I do feel like a lot of the biggest laughs in the movie were spoiled in the trailers but that is a frequent problems in moves nowadays so its not exactly a surprise. The chemistry and dynamics of Ferrell and Hart are top notch. If you want to laugh watch this move.

Penn The Action Star
on August 18, 2015
Posted by: reviewinlu
from Dayton, OH
Verified Purchase:Yes
Going in I'll be honest I didn't know what to expect, normally I'm used to seeing Sean Penn in a drama, and he always seems to turn in a good performance, especially lately with his limited selective film roles, but with The Gunman he's placed in the lead action star role. The good news is he is successful, he acts and is believable as the mercenary he portrays. The plot is fairly original, the end climax seems a bit lackluster but thats just my own personal opinion considering the first half of the film is pretty strong. The direction and actors are all credible and well executed. This isn't Penn's best work but as a action film that could easily be missed or looked over this is one that should be given a shot.

Going in Maggie's hype is mostly based on Arnold's reserved drama performance, and it is one of his best, but ultimately this is a very low budget, slow burn affair. It's far from the best zombie movie ever, but its not the worst. Abigail Breslin steals the show, as always her performance is a strong one. There's a lot of opportunity left on the floor in Maggie, most of that is probably on the director and budget's shoulders.

Cooper and Eastwood At Their Best
on June 23, 2015
Posted by: reviewinlu
from Dayton, OH
Verified Purchase:Yes
American Sniper was a movie poorly received by most critics and minimized preview campaign than most. I think a lot of people went in for the backstory of the amazing soldier and person that was Chris kyle and his epic story. But I don't know anybody who thought this was a bad movie. Bradley Cooper gives it his all and pours himself into the role. Clint Eastwood shows he can still get the job done even at his age he's up there with the best directors in the business.
Amazing performances and effort. This one's not to be missed. A must see.

![Focus [Includes Digital Copy] [DVD] [2015]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/4318/4318017_sa.jpg)
Posted by: reviewinlu

Verified Purchase:Yes
First and foremost Focus is more a drama than anything else, from the previews and trailers I could see where one would think that this maybe a action movie or at least offer up more action then it really does but that's not to say that without much action the movie crumbles. It doesn't. It's somewhat a slow burn, yet at the same time covering a large amount of time in a average runtime span. The movie goes along at a fairly quick clip thanks to well designed scenes filled to the brim with tension. If you ever wondered about the inner workings of a con and what makes a great con-artist Focus will probably be a good flick to check out. Will Smith and Margot Robie give great performances and the direction is tight and focused. A great twist ending and pleasant viewing experience make this one to check out.

Unusual, But Great Dark Indie Comedy
on May 29, 2015
Posted by: reviewinlu
from Dayton, OH
Verified Purchase:Yes
Its easy to be fooled by The voices going in, by looking at the cover art you may think this is just Ryan Reynolds doing his typical Ryan Reynolds comedy quick wit shtick, but that is most definitely not the case here. The Voices is a dark movie, very dark, in that you want to pull for and love the Ryan Reynolds played main character but its virtually impossible to pull for him by the end as he's too far gone to feel remorse. The character is a serial murder who due to childhood experiences is now mentally disturbed and must take medication to function day to day and the said "voices" play very heavily over the whole film and at most times stealing the various scenes in which they're featured in, all voiced by Reynolds the various voices heard from his house pets really bring the comedy thats advertised into the film in and make for a nice plot device, but nonetheless, this is a great easy to miss, under the radar movie that any Ryan Reynolds or dark comedy fan should check out as it may just surprise them as its quality is perhaps better than they'll expect.

Going in I didn't know really what to expect from Foxcatcher but it was,t exactly what I thought. I knew this wouldn't be a comedy but I didn't think I expected the slow burn of the movie. Folks this is a long one. At first the story moves at a snails pace peppered with moments of intrigue. Steve Carell is great in the role and is given plenty of screen time (perhaps too much?) and Channing Tatum does the best work of his career, but I think it's Mark Ruffalo who really gives a great performance for every second he's on scene he is believable and clearly invested in the material. The ending is a tad abrupt but overall it was a great learning experience getting to know about the events of this strange, interesting, true story.
