James Franco's entertaining performance as an unhinged materialistic gangster is the only real selling point of this movie, but it's not enough to redeem it from poor film making and faux philosophizing.
I can't really recommend this as adding much to the mythos of the previous Alien movies, but it is a very strong standalone sci-fi film. Lets hope the planned prequel does more to connect it back to the Alien franchise, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
This gritty and intense release from the thrilling series Hannibal includes all 13 episodes of the show's second season, following the story of an FBI special agent and his budding relationship with a cunning forensic psychiatrist named Hannibal Lecter, whose dark inner world is steadily revealed.
Mads Mikkelson and Hugh Dancy continue to redefine the characters of Hannibal and Will Graham respectively. Mads Mikkelson's performance is particularly compelling given how his unique and twisted version of Hannibal stands on par with Anthony Hopkins' take on the character which had previously seemed definitive.
The first season of Hannibal follows FBI Agent Will Graham's (Hugh Dancy) as he becomes increasingly immersed in his efforts to find a brutal serial killer. When Special Agent Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) pairs him with a highly skilled psychiatrist - who, unbeknownst to them, is the perpetrator himself, notorious serial killer Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) - Will questions his own sanity as his cannibalistic partner subjects him to a series of mind games.
Thor is a quality movie, but I didn't find it as enjoyable as Iron Man or Captain America. There is still plenty of good action and humor however, plus some really mind-blowing visual effects. Supporting actors Tom Hiddleston and Anthony Hopkins really shine in this one.
Captain America continues to expand the Marvel Universe and it delivers the same high quality action, acting, and storylines as the rest of the marvel cannon. The setting of the movie in the 1940s makes for an interesting change from most superhero flicks. Highly recommended.
The fourth season of Workaholics continues to follow three hard-partying friends just out of college: Blake (Blake Anderson), Adam (Adam DeVine) and Anders (Anders Holm). Though the roommates have entered the next stage of their young adult lives working as telemarketers, debauchery gets in the way of their profession more often than not.
Workaholics remains as funny and insane as ever in its fourth season. Highly recommended, especially at such a cheap price for a full season on blu-ray.
This release from the cult favorite sci-fi Western series Firefly includes all 13 episodes of the show, following the crew of the freighter ship Serenity as they survive the wild expanse of the newly colonized galaxy taking up jobs on both sides of the law.
A great show that never had a chance to reach it's full potential after being cancelled too soon. Great price for all of the episodes that were able to be made before the network axe came down.
