Upset Best Picture Winner

Verified Purchase:Yes
While not a classic film, "Spotlight" is nevertheless a very good one that takes on an important topic while doing so in an entertaining manner. Made in the vein of "All the President's Men" it lacks the nail biting intensity of the earlier work but is suspenseful in its own right. It proves that Hollywood can make important films that need not be relegated to Art Theaters but can find a wider audience.

Nominated for Best Picture?!
on March 30, 2014
Posted by: MovieFan

Verified Purchase:Yes
The main reason to purchase this film is to experience the blu ray's hi-def picture and sound. Both are excellent but the highlight is what comes through a top notch stereo system. The visual and aural experience make up for the inconsistent acting, inane plot and a script that is sometimes laughably bad. It's hard to believe that "The Towering Inferno" was nominated for Best Picture. However, if you don't take it too seriously (and have good electronics) there are worse ways to spend your time than watching this flick.
What's great about it: Hi Def picture and sound
What's not so great: Hokey plot and dialog.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fine fact based thriller

Verified Purchase:Yes
Captain Phillips proves that Hollywood can make excellent fact-based thrillers while staying close to the truth. The acting, editing and directing are top notch making the film well deserving of its Oscar nomination. Highly recommended.
What's great about it: Acting and pace
What's not so great: No negatives
I would recommend this to a friend!
