I can't wait for Chapter 3
on July 14, 2017
Posted by: jon518
Verified Purchase:Yes
John Wick Chapter 2 picks up where the first movie left off; more kick (and shooting of course) for the buck.
Keanu Reeves goes above and beyond with the character; getting more comfortable with the inner workings of the hit-man.
Not since Matrix have I seen such energy and commitment from Reeves in a role. I can't wait for Chapter 3, because you can't leave us hanging like this.

Could have been better
on June 19, 2017
Posted by: jon518
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Andrew Garfield follow up to The Amazing Spider-Man was fun to watch at times. Other times, when Electro is on screen, the film seems to drag. Perhaps another actor could have given the role the oomph that it needed. Overall, a good movie, great special effects. A stronger villain presence is needed. A shame Garfield couldn't have done a third offering in the series. In my opinion, he was the perfect Peter Parker. It was fun while it lasted.

Great collection
on June 19, 2017
Posted by: jon518
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is probably one of the better collections of material from one individual during a 10 year period. From "I Need a Lover" to "Hurts So Good" to "Cherry Bomb". This is the music that defined the Midwest influence on rock 'n' roll. Of course some songs are missing that would have made this the definitive collection. Like "Blood On the Scarecrow" and "Play Guitar" just to name a couple. All in all, good listening, good memories. Great collection.

Great live album
on March 7, 2017
Posted by: jon518
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you like your rock and roll straight forward and riff driven with some ballads thrown in for good measure then "Nine Tonight" by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band is for you. This includes hits all the way up to "Against the Wind" plus a version of "Night Moves" that will blow you away. Not taking anything away from his earlier live album "Live Bullet", but this has all the songs that made him a r'n'r icon. Give it a listen. You won't be disappointed.

Forget the critics
on August 24, 2015
Posted by: jon518
Verified Purchase:Yes
Forget the critics. They have no idea what they are talking about. I've seen this movie four times now and have not been disappointed.
It's the story of a dying CIA agent and a dominatrix type superior who has a drug that will prolong his life so he can reconcile with his wife and daughter.
But it is more than just your average action movie with an aging Kevin Costner playing it smart and funny. It's a father/daughter bonding film that has a story line as important as the action.
Kevin Costner and Hailee Steinfeld make the perfect father/daughter combo to come along in recent years. Amber Heard as the drug inducing superior is no slouch in the film, either.
So go ahead and buy the movie and watch it to your hearts content and forget the critics. After all, what do they know?

"Edge of your seat" experience
on July 3, 2015
Posted by: jon518
Verified Purchase:Yes
Eight words changed the way we look at science fiction and horror in 1979. "In space no one can hear you scream".
"Alien" follows seven people on their way to Earth on board a space freighter named "Nostromo". While in cryosleep, the on board computer interrupts the journey when a radio signal is picked up. It is originating from an uninhabited planet. The crew decide to land and investigate; making contact with an alien life-form. What makes "Alien" such a great movie is the constant uneasiness you feel. You know from the onset something is not right.
Ridley Scott directs the film with a certain flair that blends both science fiction and horror to an "edge of your seat" experience. The actors also do a wonderful job of portraying their characters; believable to the point where you start to think of them as friends of yours. These aren't your typical Hollywood heroes; just the opposite. Their everyday people with everyday problems like you and me; everyday foibles that expose their weaknesses as well as their strengths. You notice it most when they come up against the alien. The music, the lighting, the acting, the directing...All combine to give you a great science fiction movie and a great horror film in one.
"Alien" spawned three sequels ("Aliens", "Aliens3", and "Alien: Resurrection") which can be found in this quadrilogy. There is talk of rebooting this classic film; something I hope never happens. But, if it does, I suggest you watch the original film that started a revolution in the sci-fi horror genre. It would be well worth your time; and I don't think you will be disappointed.

Stunning 3D visual effects
on May 7, 2015
Posted by: jon518
Verified Purchase:Yes
Director Ridley Scott, actor Christian Bale, beautiful set design, fantastic costumes, stunning 3D visual effects. Who could ask for more? Maybe a more traditional take on the Biblical story would have helped the film along. In this well made movie with above par acting from both Bale and Edgerton, under Scott's direction, some of the scenes were breathtaking to behold. But I feel that Mr. Scott was holding back a little, whether for political or religious reasons, it's hard to say. I liked the battle scenes, loved the 3D effects, and enjoyed the scenes of Ridley Scott's beautifully depicted ancient Egypt. All in all, a good movie that was entertaining and worth the money spent. As a side note, if you purchase the copy that has "ONLY @ BEST BUY" on the cover claiming to have a "BONUS 30 MINUTES OF RED SEA VISUAL EFFECTS", find out how to obtain this. I still haven't discovered
how to get it, even after talking to sales associates and e-mailing Best Buy themselves.

Best of the three Expendables
on January 14, 2015
Posted by: jon518
Verified Purchase:Yes
This edition of The Expendables is by far the best of the three. More action, more humor, more body counts. The addition of Harrison Ford makes you forget about Bruce Willis not showing up. Plus Mel Gibson as the baddie was a great addition. Sit back and let the action take over because it's the kind of movie to lose yourself in.
