Great satire of the caped crusader and his wisecracking sidekick, complete with cheesy effects, Bruce Wayne's spare tire (and I don't mean on The Batmobile), and hilariously inept villains........The Narration voiceover is great as well........
Unlike most of the Old Film Noir classics reissued on Blue Ray, this was very well done.........Nary a scratch or blip throughout the entire film......I highly recommend this item!!
This set compiles four westerns starring Clint Eastwood: A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and Hang 'em High.

I had seen all these films before, and to get them all in one box for 10 bux was a great bargain............Either you like these type of things or you don't...........Nothing I'm going to say is going to convince you..........A couple of these were rather long-winded, but if you like 'em, you like 'em......Go for it!!
Not quite as good as the 1st one, but still very entertaining.......Adding Lizzy Caplan was a good move..........she is so snotty (and cute) that it was a like of breath of fresh air...........My only complaint was that it was cut so fast you barely had time to focus on one scene before the movie moved on to another..........But that was a minor complaint.
Artisan's double feature Wishmaster / Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies, about the evil nature of wishes, includes both films, one a special edition and the other a basic, bare-bones edition. Both movies are presented in anamorphic widescreen and look very good. The original Wishmaster tends to look much more clear than the second film, though both transfers are basically clean and crisp. The audio presentation includes Dolby Digital 5.1 for both films. The music, effects, and dialogue are clean and presentable, with the original utilizing the rear speakers more than the sequel. Wishmaster includes some promising extra features, including a very enlightening commentary track by director Robert Kurtzman, second unit director Greg Nicataro, and screenwriter Peter Atkins. The track is light, though tends to lean more towards the technical side of the film's history and production. Also included on Wishmaster is a very informative half-hour documentary on the making of the film, featuring interviews with director Robert Kurtzman, actor Andrew Divoff (who plays the evil wish-granting Djinn), and special effects supervisor Tom Rainone. Finally, an international and domestic theatrical trailer is included (full frame), as well as production notes and cast and crew information. The Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies extra features consist solely of an anamorphic theatrical trailer, as well as the typical production notes and cast and crew information found on most discs. Wishmaster 2 was not half as popular as its predecessor, so the exclusion of multiple extra features is not surprising. Overall, this is a very nice package from Artisan featuring two gory films that should delight hardcore horror fans.
Number 2 wasn't as good, but you can't win 'em all

I used to own this a while ago, and I really enjoyed it because it was so Tongue-in-Cheek.............The actor who played the evil Genie was priceless, and the FX on the first WM were great................Wish I could say the same for the 2nd one.............Not as good..............Skip it and just pick up the first one.............You'll dig it!!!
I'm not sure why this got a bad rap............I thought the 3 main Characters were great...........I was especially impressed with Affleck............I think most people had unrealistically high expectations for this..........My only complaint was that it was too long, though it did fly by pretty quickly......I was never bored............Recommended!!!

Though the subject matter was dark, there is action and comedy galore in this supremely entertaining flick starring Ryan Reynolds...........(My daughter loves him..........She's 20)..........If you're easily offended, you might wanna pass this by............For the other 80% of the viewing public, you can't go wrong with this one................

Benicio Del Toro is very believable ( as is the rest of the cast ) in this story of CIA CartelBusters in Mexico (as well as the US) .............The Movie looks very realistic, but as I am not a member of the CIA, I have no way of knowing this.........A worthy followup to the director's previous movie, PRISONERS............Well worth a look............

I thought it was superb...........I am a big Levitt fan, and he did not disappoint in this one............Also, very believable CGI on the highwire scenes, and the backstory leading up to the event kept you interested all the way through...........A Great Watch!
