One of my favorite Halloween movies. This is just one big fun Halloween movie, Bette, Kathy and Sarah are perfect as the Sanderson sisters. Funny from start to finish and a tradition in my family each Halloween.
Having the read the book a few years ago I was intrigued to see how well it translated to the screen. Leo does a phenomenal job in this and the brutal cold and the soundtrack not having alot of talking for long stretches really makes for a harrowing experience.
Saw this at the theatre when it came out and was blown away. It wasnt the often retold King Kong story of the girl and the tall building. Great action, great cast and I love how this is all tied into the new Kaiju universe they are building with Godzilla. Can't wait to see Kong take on Godzilla in a few years.
Fox offers yet another excellent DTS audio transfer for Predator. During the scenes witnessed from the eyes of the alien, the rear speakers are wonderfully utilized to hear the soldiers' barely comprehensible voices. The depth of the sound field in these scenes helps to heighten the suspense of the film. The crisp DTS sounds shine during several shootout scenes, especially when all the soldiers fire at the unseen jungle for several minutes. This disc also includes a well-done 5.1-channel Dolby Digital transfer, as well as a decent 2.0-channel Dolby Surround track. The 1.85:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer on this disc is surprisingly uneven and varied. During certain scenes, the events on the screen shine with brilliance and clarity, while other portions contain large amounts of grain that hinder the overall presentation of the film. Overall, the visuals are stunning and work well, but the intermittent poor moments keep it from being an excellent transfer. This disc contains no extra features except for a brief theatrical trailer, which is presented in a full-screen format that is around VHS quality. It's nice to see a preview that gives away very little about the plot of the film. Of course, at that time, Arnold Schwarzenegger's name was enough to draw hordes of fans to a picture. The menus on this disc are amateurish and poor; in fact, they rank with some of the worst on any recent DVD.
One of my favorite Schwarzenegger films from the 80s. Great action and a great plot. My only issue with the DVD was the talking was really low so I had to turn it way up to hear and then the action sounds were crazy loud. But for 4 bucks I'm not going to complain much.
Loved the Lego movie and I'm a huge Batman fan so the idea of the 2 franchises together was appealing beyond words. After watching.....this may have been the best Batman movie I have ever seen. When the movie was done my side was killing me from laughing so hard. I hope they do a sequel.
What can I say about this movie? It sticks to the Hallmark Christmas movie formula and that is not a bad thing. Anytime I need a dose of Christmas I can pop one of these Hallmark films in and I get 90 minutes of Christmas lights, music, trees and romance.
Hayao Miyazaki never fails to deliver an animated film that is so different then anything the American animation studios do. This is my favorite of all his films. It is an epic animated film. To see it is to never forget it.
As good as the American version of Godzilla was nothing beats the original Japanese version. This movie surprised me as being a great reboot of the entire Godzilla franchise.
John Landis' Three Amigos comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that preserves the original widescreen ratio of the 1986 theatrical release. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include cast and crew bios. This is obviously a title no one gave much thought to before releasing. It is redeemed slightly by the inexpensive list price, but the unimpressive picture and sound as well as the lack of extras is sure to displease fans of this cult favorite.
I hadn't seen this film since I was a kid but thanks to Best Buy and the super cheap price I got to relive a little bit of my childhood. This film is hilarious.
