T2 Trainspotting isn't as great as it's predecesor, but it's still a great film. If you love the first film then you'll enjoy this one, seeing the characters where they are 20 years later. It's a fun movie and definitely worth watching.
Guardians 2 is definitely one of the best movies of the year and this bluray is no different. The steelbook packaging is cool and the features are very interesting.
Passengers is a good film. The problem is that it is a movie that clearly has a beginning, middle and end. And by that I mean you can tell when one act begins and ends, when the next begins and so on. The idea behind the film is really intriguing. However don't expect the film to touch on the morality of Chris Pratt's decision for much if that's what you're waiting for. The two leads have chemistry. The visuals are great. The problem is mainly with the story since the filmmakers played it too safe. The first 30-40 minutes follows Chris Pratt and it's great. Overall I would rent this before watching it since it's not for everyone.
A League of Their Own is a fantastic film. It really paints a portrait of how life was like for women back then (and to some extent now) and brings up a topic that I never knew about, which is women's baseball was put together as a distraction for WWII. The film and its cast is great as is the picture, audio and special features. If there's one feature I definitely recommend, it's the retrospective. I think that it's intriguing that when the film came out, everyone believed that women in Hollywood would be treated fairly and that everything would change. It didn't and it's a topic that they talk about at length.
The Fifth Element is a great popcorn flick to just sit back and watch. The characters are intriguing and some hilarious. The creature design is very well done at times and the CGI for the time is not bad. The picture quality and audio are great and the special features are not lacking.
This is the third film in the Robert Langdon series. You should know what the film will be like by now. However unlike the first two, thisnone doesn't focus so much on religion. Only Dante's Inferno which is the H word (BB won't let me say it). But even then it's only the image, not the idea. Some of the supporting cast is great and some are just...there. Tom Hanks is great as always, but the way the movie begins, it's hard to forge an emotional attachment with him. That may be due to the director's choice of wanting the audience to piece everything together with Langdon as the film goes along but it could have been done better since it's jarring and comes all of a sudden. The cinematography is great and the score for the most part is too. There are some pieces of music that seem too much. Overall you know what you're getting into if you decide to watch it. And at 2 hours long, it's the shortest of the three. But when you watch it, there are certain things that are introduced that are never brought up ever again which could have been cut out (especially a scene involving coffee). The movie slows down at times and it can get very boring and the plot seems too convoluted and crowded at times but as stated it isn't terrible or even bad. Just okay.
Yes this movie is unnecessary. But it's as good a remake for Beauty and the Beast that you'll get. The special features go in depth into the making and the audio and visual is great.
Robin Williams is hilarious in this film! The film itself still holds up as well. The picture and audio are okay but the special features are funny. There is a 13 minute improv session with Robin Williams that is hilarious b
