I'll be sad to see Capaldi go

Verified Purchase:Yes
Steven Moffat has lots of detractors for his run as head writer on DW, but I'm not among them and I love Capaldi as The Doctor, despite that occasional silliness with the guitar. I'm still missing Clara Oswald, but I'll have to get used to that.
The Return of Doctor Mysterio is a pretty solid Doctor Who Christmas special, though not as vital to the overall DW saga as the previous year's special The Husbands of River Song (which is a must-see for fans of her character that want to see her tale come full circle). There are some obvious nods to Superman here with the character who unexpectedly acquires powers and it's good to see Charity Wakefield get some work after her. short-lived guilty pleasure tv action series The Player was cancelled. Nardole is alright as a new companion since his debut here, but I'm still not sure about Bill yet, who just started on the season 10 episode that follows this one.

2016 had better animated films, but I enjoyed it.

Zootopia was a lot of fun (even more enjoyable than Moana & Finding Dory), had a terrific cast, and a decent allegory to try to teach your kids to be less judgmental. The Blu-ray includes the music video for the terrific Shakira song "Try Everything" -- which didn't get enough nominations during award season.
2016 animated films which I preferred over Zootopia:
Kubo and the Two Strings, April and the Extraordinary World, The Red Turtle

less character depth, but more fun than SW:TFA
on April 18, 2017
Posted by: GreaterThanDiNozzo
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Force Awakens had more depth to its characters, which were being set up to headline a new trilogy, but this film is probably more fun. Rogue One, by contrast, doesn't need to build up characters as much, since they won't be returning in later films since this is an immediate prequel to the 1977 original Star Wars film. Parts of the film slow down and meander a bit in the middle, but once the extended climactic battle sequences begin, you'll be on the edge of your seat despite knowing that the rebels will succeed, having previously seen SW: A New Hope.
The only real complaint about this film is the uncanny valley effect of digitally resurrecting beloved deceased actor Peter Cushing as Gran Moff Tarkin and Princess Leia's brief appearance involving digital images attempting to recreate a circa 1977 Carrie Fisher.
Overall, it's a highly entertaining film to watch whilst waiting for the release of SW ep VIII: The Last Jedi later this year. The steelbook has decent artwork, but the best thing about it is their solution to fitting 4 discs into a steelbook without stacking multiple discs on the same hubs (which damaged the Game of Thrones discs in some people's steelbooks). Recommended.

Better than the 2017 Disney film
on April 18, 2017
Posted by: GreaterThanDiNozzo
Verified Purchase:Yes
Vincent Cassel (Oceans 12) and Lea Seydoux (SPECTRE) were solid casting choices. While Christophe Gans' 2014 French film isn't quite as magical as Jean Cocteau's 1946 classic, it's visually stunning and an interesting departure in plot from the two Disney adaptations. Like the earlier Cocteau film, Belle has multiple siblings here, one of whom see a potential financial windfall after hearing their sister's tales of Beast's castle they suffer from the loss of their father's fortune. There's also a rather interesting subplot in flashback dreams which explains a different origin story for the castle's curse from other film adaptations. Also worth checking out from director Gans is the period French martial arts cult classic THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF.

Great Farewell to River Song
on November 8, 2016
Posted by: GreaterThanDiNozzo
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's great to see an entertaining wrap-up to the love story of River Song and The Doctor, one that gives viewers another perspective of The Doctor's (6 season?) long relationship with a woman who is definitely up to the challenge and the best match the series ever found for him, no matter how much you like Rose Tyler. If you're a fan of River Song, this is a must-see.
