![X-Men: Days of Future Past [DVD] [2014]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5834/5834033_sa.jpg)

There aren't many franchises that can say they are as strong as ever with their 5th flick in the series, however X-Men can. I think many people had doubts when they heard about Bryan Singer returning or the large cast and that they'd be too many balls in the air to juggle or that the action wouldn't be up to par, and to be fair First Class had the same doubts and proved them wrong, as does this entry in the X-Men cinematic universe. Sets the stage for the future nicely and cleans up a lot of continuity issues.

Pixar spared no expense when it came to this short feature. Oftentimes when you see a spiritual made for tv sequel like this it is haphazardly done and doesn't capture the look and feel of the film predecessors, but this Toy Story short manages to not have those common pitfalls. Its to bad this couldn't have been an hour long tale, but it kind of makes sense when you think to work and detail that went into something like this with a short turnaround to actually finish it between most Toy Story films and the time that had passed from the third one's release. great extras and a great nugget in the toy Story franchise.

Its public and common opinion that this is one of the best superhero movies that's been made, its hard not to agree after watching The Winter Soldier. If you would have told someone that 2 filmmakers mostly only know for their comedy work would turn out a effort like this, folks probably wouldn't have believed it. Everything here is top notch, the callbacks, the story as a whole, and the acting. You can see that all the actors have gotten in a grove with these characters and have a better grasp than ever on their characters emotions. Terrific action and advancement in the overall Marvel film universe plus upping the ante to what came before it, there's no doubt this is a must see movie for any Marvel, superhero, or cinema fan.

If you took this movie at face value then it be easy to say that its your standard action flick buried and overlooked in the spring/summer box office release slate. But, the thing that makes this particular movie different is that while yes, this not Paul Walker's best performance and yes, this is one of his last films, that doesn't take away from a solid premise. Is it goofy and over the top at times? Certainly. As a matter of fact it's perhaps fairly said and widely claimed that this movie is inferior to the film its remade from. But for being the first bigger scale movie I can remember to showcase parkour as this does, it succeeds in advancing the story without getting caught up in a parkour sideshow, meaning, they did a good job incorporating it into the overall film/story. Where the dvd/blu ray release is lacking is with an opportunity to include stock, shot footage or entire behind the scenes interviews (typically done at some point during filming an cut into a EPK feature) they chose not to include any of Paul Walker's beyond the filming moments.

![Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa .5 [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray] [2014]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/9dd4248d-3d02-4df2-b44e-4fd907dfb71a.jpg)

Like many of the other .5 releases this is more or less a feature length extra. Now although it's not really an entirely different movie, it is, a great look inside the workings of making a film such as this. You'll be assured after you watch this that there is no doubt that Bad Grandpa was real and not set up from a people being actors standpoint. All that aside it's cool to see some deleted subplots from the original story that were left out.

I'll admit i was skeptical how the age old story of Noah's Ark would translate in a big budgeted tentpole film. Yes, there are moments with your typical action movie scenes, but overall it feels like the script was developed in a way to really show the heart of the original biblical story. The effects have their spotty moments with virtually every animal being CG, but the actors involved put on great performances and add weight to the story.

Having seen a fair share of direct to video (or dvd) movies over the years its easy to know the basics of what you'll experience in the product upon viewing. This film doesn't stand out much from your typical small budget action film, however, you can't deny that this isn't a enjoyable action flick. Granted it started of a little too dull in my opinion, at the 30 minute mark they right the ship and set sail. Gina Carano is far from a great actress but you will always be entertained when she does her thing in a fight scene. There is a weird, somewhat shoehorned flashback subplot to the heroines' father and lesson he taught her, but again with a low budget action film you tend to ignore some shortcomings. Its not a bad movie for what it is.

Its not usual for a movie to come together and as a viewer you feel the passion of the product and are left thinking after the film has ended. This is one of those rare times though. Everyone seemingly put their head down so to speak, respected the story, and made the best feature they could. You have emotion, action, and drama galore for over 2 hours of on the edge of your seat viewing and with that you can ask no more. Incredible story.

Im typically a fan of remakes. Even if I love the original movie a remake is based on I'll give the remake a chance typically. I am a big fan of the original Robocop and i'll be the first to say this movie doesn't surpass what the first Robocop film accomplished all those years ago. That movie still holds up well in entertainment value and Im not sure how well this one will in the future but theres no denying that this is a great effort to jump start the franchise for a new audience and in the end it is not a bad movie compared to your by the numbers action films nowadays. Its different enough that its fresh and its commendable for its efforts.

The time between sequels doesn't always guarantee success or in a comedies case that the follow up will be funnier, but in this case I believe that Anchorman 2 is actually better than the original, that can be debated, but there is no doubt this is an admiral second go around.
