How to craft a sequel
on November 29, 2014
Posted by: masterchiefmelo
from Casselberry, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This film is an incredibly smart update of its characters and the trials they face, as well as the introduction of a new major character. Savvily dealing with issues like the realities of adulthood, loyalty and (just for good measure) world peace, How to Train Your Dragon 2 is that rare sequel which equals (at least for the most part) its predecessor. How to Train Your Dragon 2 comes is super recommended

A Dame to Kill For is stuck squarely in the past
on November 22, 2014
Posted by: masterchiefmelo
from Casselberry, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Ten years since Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller stunned audiences and comic book fans with Sin City, a pulpy, visually striking neo-noir genre pic that was both wholly original and startlingly faithful to Miller's own graphic novel series. No one had seen anything like it before, Unfortunately, A Dame to Kill For, the long, looong, looooong-awaited sequel, arrived earlier this year to a less-than-enthusiastic crowd and it bombed at the box office. A Dame to Kill For looks the part... sort of... but it's hollow, cartoonish and, for a film that takes itself so seriously, much too silly, with a killer cast undone by a script that goes nowhere fast and nowhere interesting.

All Righty Then
on October 18, 2014
Posted by: masterchiefmelo
from Casselberry, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective remains a hilarious film. When Nature Calls. Still, I might as well state up front that, despite its bigger budget and glossier production values, I find the Ace Ventura sequel to be a dull and conventional comedy, enlivened only occasionally by a flash of Carrey's trademark insanity or a setup that actually pays off, which is the exception.

X-Men Days of Future Past comes Highly recommended
on October 18, 2014
Posted by: masterchiefmelo
from Casselberry, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Time travel may be the "McGuffin" of X-Men: Days of Future Past, but it's a fun device that allows for some gentle skewering of a bygone age while bringing together a coterie of X-Men young and old, but under Singer's assured direction and without any distracting time travel paradoxes to muck up the works, everything zooms along swimmingly to a satisfying if (again) perhaps too overly convenient finale.

We Can Rebuild It
on June 14, 2014
Posted by: masterchiefmelo
from Casselberry, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
A collective groan greeted the announcement that MGM was remaking RoboCop, followed by howls of protest at the news that the remake would be rated PG-13. Director Paul Verhoeven's 1987 original famously pushed the limits on gore and goo. Director Padilha may have lost the ratings battle, but he won the war of ideas. A devoted fan of Verhoeven's Robocop, though Padilha's film borrows key story points, and his film is studded with affectionate references to the 1987 original, several critical differences radically transform the story
Paul Verhoeven's 1987 RoboCop remains an unsurpassable classic, partly because it came first and partly because Verhoeven's cheerfully offensive visuals have a unique panache that no one else could hope to equal. But Padilha's 2014 version offers its own pleasures, if one approaches it with an open mind and doesn't expect it to replicate the Verhoeven experience

What's great about it: A different take on a cult classic

Magnificent, opulent, tremendous, stupendous
on June 14, 2014
Posted by: masterchiefmelo
from Casselberry, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Whatever you think of Baz Luhrmann's frenetic, flamboyant filmmaking style, you can't say that the Aussie director lacks ambition. Moulin Rouge, the culmination of his so-called "Red Curtain Trilogy"—following the glittery Strictly Ballroom and the Shakespeare-meets-SoCal modernization of his Romeo + Juliet—Luhrman set out to reinvent the movie musical, that stalest of Hollywood genres
Fox's stunning new Blu-ray releases, a must-own for fans of Baz Luhrmann's insanely colorful—or is it colorfully insane?—creative vision

A Stallone Hidden Gem
on June 14, 2014
Posted by: masterchiefmelo
from Casselberry, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
As in the original film, Jack Carter (Stallone) is an enforcer, but now he works for a major Las Vegas gambler and bookie named Fletcher (singular), who is never seen but is voiced by an uncredited Tom Sizemore. Jack calls himself a "financial adjuster", which is to say he collects unpaid debts. He is secretly involved with Fletcher's girlfriend, Audrey. When Jack learns that his brother, Ritchie, has died in a drunk driving accident, he returns home to Seattle for the funeral
Stallone's film is a great entertaining but minor entry in his filmography. The best scenes in it are those with Caine and with Rachel Leigh Cook, each of whom brings out emotional shadings in Stallone that we don't often see.

Romeo Must Die is a light, fun popcorn movie
on June 14, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
Romeo Must Die is an enjoyable, well-constructed but disposable entertainment it was meant to be. To a degree, though, it has been tinctured with sadness, because it's essentially the beginning and end of the promising career of Aaliyah, Highly recommended

A staggering AV presentation worth every penny
on April 12, 2014
Posted by: masterchiefmelo
from Casselberry, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Defenders of the Original Text will neither be pleased nor amused, and find Jackson has taken several steps too many to energize the second entry in his trilogy. The more you treasure Tolkien's work, the more your distaste for The Desolation of Smaug will grow as the film hurtles toward its action-packed end.
As a film, particularly as the action-oriented midpoint of a much larger action-fantasy trilogy -- Jackson's second chapter works quite spectacularly
If you can't wait to add both the theatrical and extended cuts to your collection, you definitely won't regret the purchase. However, if you're more careful with your BD dollars, you may want to wait for the Big Bad Edition due this November.

ThorThe Dark World is more refined and satisfying

Verified Purchase:Yes
it's got marvelous audio and amazing 2D video, the 3D disc is nowhere near worthy of bragging. Hiddleston steals the show yet again, but Hemsworth is no slouch, adding welcome depth and dimension to a hero who could easily be all too flat. Bring on Thor 3
