This was a very good movie I am so glad I went to see it in spite of the spoilers people have been saying about it. Kevin Costner did a great job of transitioning from a bad guy to a guy that was just learning to have emotions love the ending of the movie. You should go see this movie in spite of the critics. I don't want to give too much detail about the movie but I really enjoyed it. In the beginning he didn't do what everyone wanted him to do and I think that is what made the movie good because it wasn't straight up predictable. Some parts you may guess on but not totally. When the bad guys make progress you enjoy seeing g them get what's coming to them. Go see this movie. Great cast too

If you've seen once Melissa McCrathy comedy you've seen them all. She's created a comfortable style for herself and I won't fault her for that.

The Divergent Series: Allegiant, although not much like the book is very entertaining. I am looking forward to seeing the last of the series. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to turn this series into four movies, and I understand the medium will influence the final work.

One of the year's best

I love how people do absolutely no research before investing time and money into a movie and then go and crud all over it because they didn't know what they were getting into!
If you've ever seen a Linklater film, you'll know that many of them are realistic character studies. They deal with interpersonal relationships and existentialism. They famously have very little "story" elements that characterize modern cinema and that is why many people are drawn to his films. Slacker, Dazed and Confused, Waking Life, even all his Ethan Hawke movies are based solely in providing the experience of real life reflected back at the viewer. He makes you forget who you are for a while and let's you wholly experience someone else's ego, id, fears, hopes, and triumphs.
Everybody Wants Some!! does everything good Linklater films do. It engrosses, it engages, it has a deep love and respect for it's characters while not praising their actions or condemning them. It exists as a snapshot of these people at this time in this location doing what they do.
Now here's where the backlash from most reviewers comes from; this film is about a college baseball team in Texas in 1980, and the ultra competitive, beer swilling, girl chasing, partying that accompanies said team. If you dislike machismo, or competition, or sports, or partying, or think anything relating to being dude-bro-jock-frat types is a horrific societal crime, then DON'T WATCH THIS FILM!!! I think people have targeted this movie and are using it as a platform to make their stand against competitive male behavior. If that bothers you, you need to think about why confident, good looking men who get laid, make you uncomfortable. It says much more about you than them or the filmmaker.
I found the film to be completely enjoyable, totally relatable (my uncle literally met my aunt in 1980 by cruising around in his car talking to girls), the characters realistic (with some slight touches of fantasy: most college freshman aren't nearly as put together as the male and female lead roles) and their interactions and experiences fun, empathetic, and life-affirming. The year 1980 was awesomely represented through the bars, dress, and music (fantastic use of Pink Floyd's deep cut "Fearless"). The acting was excellent and many times through the movie I found myself saying, "That guy needs to get more work!" There are some existential conversations that speak to Linklater's love of the topic but then with nary a second thought he brilliantly concedes to the meat-headedness of a college ballplayer by giving the dumbest member of the crew these lines; "Who ARE all these people?...Like I know what we're doing here. We're playing baseball. But what are all these other guys doing here?...They'll just be some dude with some job..." Linklater also does a good job of giving individual personalities to each member of the team beyond the normal, "he's the funny guy, he's the sweet guy, he's the ladies man, he's the narcissist". They all humble each other daily which makes them a team with no overt pretentions or animosity (except in the case of the new pitcher who swears he can throw 95 mph!) just a desperation to win and really gives a realistic sense of team and living dynamics.
In closing, if you enjoy Linklater's earlier works you'll have no problems with Everybody Wants Some!!. If you need a traditional three act Hollywood comedy full of ridiculously over the top antics look elsewhere. If you hate any semblance of competitive male-ness, stay far away! If you want to experience three days in the lives of this college baseball team from Texas in 1980 check this out! I was thoroughly entertained and not at all disappointed! Highly recommended to anyone who knows what they're getting into

![The Real Ghostbusters: Volumes 1-5 - With Movie Reward [5 Discs] [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5361/5361900_sa.jpg)
This release brings together the first five volumes of the ABC animated spinoff series The Real Ghostbusters. Featuring the voice work of Arsenio Hall, Maurice LaMarche and Dave Coulier, over 50 episodes of the series are included in this multidisc set following the further adventures of the Ghostbusters defending New York City from the paranormal.

Sony is re-releasing The Real Ghostbusters after the Time-Life edition of the cartoon has been out of print for several years. Each disc in this five disc set can be purchased separately, but it's much cheaper to purchase the boxed set. The next set of five discs will be out in September and that will leave enough episodes for volumes 11-15. If we get two more boxed sets like these, the overall costs will be approximate to the Time-Life Collector's set when it originally came out and a fraction of what that complete set currently goes for from third part retailers. So overall, if you missed out on the Time-Life version this is a decent purchase, but with room for improvement.
There are 11-12 episodes on each disc for a total of 58. I'm not sure why two discs only have 11 episodes as they could have easily fit in and it would have made things a perfect 60 episodes. This is all the more important when you realize the episodes are in chronological order and save for two episodes from Season 1 and 2 which are missing. They are just skipped right over for some reason. These episodes are "Slimer, Come Home" which should be with the season 1 disc (but that would put things at 13 on this disc) and "Adventures in Slime and Space."
While it's great to have these episodes, including the original Lorenzo Music voiced Peter in the Christmas episode instead of the redubbed Dave Coulier version, the picture quality is not as good as the Time-Life version. This is because they've crammed a lot more episodes on each disc so the visual quality had to lose something in this translation. Think of it like a Cookie Jar or Mill Creek cartoon release, where you are getting a lot of episodes for a lot less money, but the quality suffers. Still, if you know this going in, you won't be too upset. That said, I really feel they should have remastered these episodes for this release as the age, wear and tear really shows at times. Hopefully the Heathcliff set I'll be picking up in August from Mill Creek won't share a similar fate.
So yes, the visual quality has taken a hit and two episodes are missing from the chronological order, but 58 episodes of The Real Ghostbusters for 30-46 dollars (depending on where and when you purchase this) is a really good deal no matter how you slice things. It's still less than a dollar per episode, which is fantastic, especially if you go looking for the Time Life set and its third party overpricing. I'm glad I picked this up for as cheap as a I did and I'm hoping the next wave of five releases get a bundled boxed set as wel

I really feel like the people that rated this movie poorly either didn't see the movie and just wanted to give it bad press, or had no idea what the movie was about. The acting and effects of the movie were beyond my expectations, and as far as the storyline, it was Pride and Prejudice. I love the book and movie Pride and Prejudice, I also love zombie movies so this movie was the perfect fit for me. That being said, I feel that this movie would appeal to anyone who enjoys the zombie genre. I had a lot of fun during this movie, I was pleased that it didn't take itself seriously, yet I enjoyed the depth of the characters. I equally laughed and jumped at the shocking moments throughout this movie, and enjoyed every moment. I also must include that I almost didn't see this movie, because of the bad reviews. However, I am very glad that I didn't listen, because I feel like since this is a beloved classic book with zombies people may be upset that this movie was made in the first place. I am a huge Jane Austen fan, I find it a refreshing fun take on the storyline.

This was a actually a pretty epic movie. Probably more like an 8 or 9 out of 10, but i have to level out some of the reviews that really dogged this movie. You have to go into this knowing it is a fantasy movie. And it's pretty darn good. Great story, and satisfying ending. Do yourself a favor and don't pay attention to the overall score, just go and see it.
There were some unexpected twist and turns. The Director definitely didn't cut any corners. There was some pretty good CGI, as well as some OK CGI. Overall though it was good. Hopefully there will be a sequel.
Costumes and acting were good, I know people complained about whitewashing, but really who cares. I know i don't make enough money to care
