Good Fun
on February 5, 2018
Posted by: filmbuff
from Atlanta, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Based on the graphic novel, this is yet another twist on the entire Bond/Secret Service genre. Over the top and spoofy. Definitely fun! Plus, you get Samuel Jackson and Sofia Boutella (The Mummy, Atomic Blonde) What's not to like?

More Good Fun
on February 5, 2018
Posted by: filmbuff
from Atlanta, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Some of the major reviews were saying things like "Bond on laughing gas" - that about sums it up. An over the top fun, action/spy thriller with lots of comedic bits. Very tongue in cheek. Big Lebowski fans will thrill at the third pairing of Bridges and Moore, even though they don't actually have any scenes together.

Slow Burner

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is NOT the typical war film. First you will notice the mostly ambient soundtrack plays against type - no bombastic standard war music here! The film relies mostly on sound and visuals to tell the story. There are pockets of dialogue. Beautifully filmed.

New Riff on the Classic
on February 5, 2018
Posted by: filmbuff
from Atlanta, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had avoided this for some time - it's an interesting variation of the classic story. Think of it as more of a prequel. Hugh Jackman is certainly over the top as Blackbeard, but he looks like he's having lots of fun. It's enjoyable as long as you go in with an open mind and not expect another rendition of the original J.M. Barrie tale.

Moving forward...

This season seemed to move a bit slower than the first two, but if you know where it's headed (toward Breaking Bad) you will understand what it's laying the groundwork for.

Art or Confusion?
on February 5, 2018
Posted by: filmbuff
from Atlanta, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm a fan of Aronofsky's films. They seem to be getting more abstract. If you go in understanding that this film is mostly symbolic and more of an art house type, you'll be okay. A huge clue will be the end credits. When you see the names of the characters, everything will become much clearer. Will need to be watched more than once.

Great Classic
on February 5, 2018
Posted by: filmbuff
from Atlanta, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
William Hurt's 2nd film and Lawrence Kasdan's first. Classic noir style drama set in the 80's. This is the classic story of the femme fatale who finds and seduces a hapless male simply to set him up for the big fall and walk away with all the goodies.

My first Beck
on December 3, 2017
Posted by: filmbuff
from Atlanta, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been aware of Beck for years but never was compelled to own any of his music. I really liked this one, as it had a nice retro British pop feel with a touch of psychedelia. I think he's been listening to his Beatles records? Recommended.

All the usual heart, humor and adventure you would expect from a Disney film with state of the art animation, of course.

Go Danny

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're a Danny Trejo fan, you will enjoy. They've added some family background for the character this time around, which helps keep this from being redundant. Not as dark as the first film.
