The Road Less Traveled - Journey Forward
on May 25, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
A true story told with warmth, reality, up close and personal. The actors drew me into their world, their time, their experience of suffering, sorrow, separation, sacrifice, survival. I was reminded of the importance of family, fraternal, extended, hope, faith in God, following Jesus forward.

Report Requiring Closer Examination
on October 13, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
Futuristic "Who dunnit?" or better yet "who really is going to do it, because it may not be who you think it is." Full of plot twists and turns, deception, and betrayal. Questions raised about who can you trust and what really happened before it happens. Sounds confusing, but this is a movie that had me thinking ahead, trying to guess the eventual outcome of the crime situation. This film demands active participation from the viewer. "Minority Report" has the perfect blend of drama, special effects, mystery, suspense and intrigue, that will have you gasping as it builds to a shocking climax. This is a very satisfying movie with a pleasant ending. Alfred Hitchcock would have been proud of Steven Spielberg.

War Won By Special Effects
on October 13, 2014
Posted by: motionstories
from San Antonio, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I liked the special effects. I didn't like the graininess of the video. Lacks the charm and enchantment of the original 1953 version. This 2005 version of "War Of The Worlds" is heavy on the action and lean on the drama in contrast to the 1953 version which has an enjoyable balance of action and drama. This 2005 version is boring in comparison to the 1953 version.

Caravan of Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
on October 12, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
A great example of what makes a classic movie. Great story and screenplay; great production and directing; great music; great casting; great acting; great location shooting and great cameo appearances. Even the opening credits are entertaining. This is one of those once in a lifetime experiences where all the pieces came together at the right time. A time when Hollywood was purposeful in telling complete stories with no room or need for sequels. Making sequels was not the norm in 1963. I wonder if the word "sequel" was even a part of the Hollywood movie studios' vocabulary back then. I found it hard to believe this film is almost three hours in running time. As I traveled along on this journey with the characters, I practically forgot about the time. I enjoyed the ride and I'm sure you will too. "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" is a prime example of Hollywood's ability to produce unforgettable films to be enjoyed time, and time again.

![Total Recall [Mind-Bending Edition] [Blu-ray] [1990]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5690/5690973_sa.jpg)

Ahead of its time. Set a trend for movies to follow with stories about mind control chips implanted in the brain, "things are not always what they seem to be", reality is unreality - unreality is reality, underground rebel forces against the evil establishment, and a look into the future. The original 1990 version of "Total Recall" is unquestionably better than the remake and the special effects are still amazing even when compared to today's offerings.

The 'Nam' up front and personal!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This classic makes me feel like I am there with them. The cinematography, acting, location, and special effects make "Platoon" an unforgettable experience. The emotions, tension, humor, uneasy relationships, tragedy, and physical pain reaches beyond the screen. It yanks you in and doesn't let go until the very end.

Blair Witch Project or Chronicle with a different twist, or pick any of the other video cam sci-fi/horror genre movies. It's all the same.

Past and present mesh together. Defeat on land leads to victory at sea. The origins of Xerxes becoming the god-king and the epic sea battle action sequences make up for a mediocre story. This prequel/sequel does not equal "300". This leaves plenty of room for an even better sequel as the battle continues.

There are songs on this recording that sound a lot like Thom Bell producing and arranging the Stylistics. Which is not a bad thing because I am also a big fan of them both. This mix of the old and the new Blue Magic sound is good listening. But I prefer the warmth of the Blue Magic sound that was recorded and mixed at Sigma Sound Studios. Although the sound of music changes, I still "Remember November" in the "Land Of Make-Believe" "Standing On The Edge Of A Love Affair", all because it "Seems I Haven't Seen Her".

![Clash of the Titans 1981/2010 [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/8647/8647041_sa.jpg)

"Clash Of The Titans" (1981) is my favorite version. There is something magical about this version that is missing in the 2010 version. Even with the advantages of advanced technology the latter comes in second best to the former. The 2010 version has spectacular computer graphic special effects, but the 1981 version has Ray Harryhausen special effects. The 2010 version has a crisp, clear picture in contrast to a softer, grainier picture in the 1981 version. I like both versions, but I prefer the warmer, magical 1981 version.
