Oscar winning gem

on September 8, 2017

Posted by: pauleky

from Louisville, KY

Verified Purchase:Yes

"The French Connection" is a thrilling, Oscar-winning masterpiece. Directed by William Friedkin (The Exorcist), it won the Best Picture Oscar of 1972 and won four others, including Best Actor for Gene Hackman and Best Director for Friedkin. All of the awards were deserved. Loosely based on a true story, this film will leave you breathless. Some may find it dated only because a lot of films have stolen from this movie. See the original ASAP.

Second Tier Brooks, but Still Great!

on July 14, 2017

Posted by: pauleky

Verified Purchase:Yes

This is one of Mel Brooks' loopiest films. Though not as classic as "Young Frankenstein" or "Blazing Saddles" (but few comedies are!), it is still crazily funny. If you're at least a little bit familiar with Alfred Hitchcock's films, you'll get that it's a homage/spoof of his most famous ones. Brooks is good, but the supporting cast is great, particularly Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman, and Madeline Kahn. Some of the jokes haven't aged well, but the majority of them have. Recommended!

Good film, but an Oscar for Julia?

on February 12, 2017

Posted by: pauleky

Verified Purchase:Yes

Full disclosure: I have never been a big Julia Roberts fan. I think she's a decent actress, but she's really more of a "movie star" than an actress. She's pretty much the same in every film. When she tries to get out of her comfort zone (see "Mary Reilly") it's a complete disaster. Having said all that, Roberts is very good in this Steven Soderbergh film. She uses her best assets (in every sense of that word) in a performance that earned her an Oscar. However, did she deserve it? Also nominated that year was Ellen Burstyn for "Requiem for a Dream." We could argue whether she should have been in the Supporting Actress category instead of Lead, but she was spectacular and there's just no contest. Just my opinion, of course. "Erin Brockovich" is a good film and I recommend it. I just wonder what it could have been with another more skilled actress.

Creepy

on February 12, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes

First, let me say that, if you are only a big fan of slasher horror films, you probably won't like this film. Why? Because it provides its thrills and chills in a much more cerebral fashion. If that's your cup of tea, you'll love it. I hate spoilers, so I won't give details, but this is an atmospheric chiller that true film lovers will enjoy. Check it out!

A Great Film

on July 22, 2016

Posted by: pauleky

Verified Purchase:Yes

Simply a must-see. One of Kubrick's best and easily one of the best films of all-time. An epic, multi-character performance from Peter Sellers is reason enough, but the cast as a whole is great. A film of its time, but is still relevant today. Criterion has masterfully created the best version yet of this film on Blu-ray. I don't think you can get any better. If you love this film, this is a must-own.

Completely Hilarious

on May 13, 2016

Posted by: pauleky

Verified Purchase:Yes

Monty Python were uniquely hilarious. Their sketch comedy was often mind-bending and completely wacky, yet accessible enough where all generations could find it funny. It wasn't long before they branched out into movies. Monty Python and the Holy Grail was their second movie, but their first with a single plot. This is a spoof of the Arthurian legend and is silly and totally hysterical. If you like your comedy on the surreal side, this is for you. If you're a fan of more simple, less cerebral stuff, you might have trouble with this one. But, give it a try - you might be pleasantly surprised. This is one funny movie!

Nice, inexpensive monitor

on April 8, 2016

Posted by: pauleky

Verified Purchase:Yes

My large Samsung monitor finally died on me. I needed a new monitor quickly, but was a little short on funds. So, I picked up this relatively inexpensive AOC monitor. I've had it a little while now and it has been great. Nice looking, great picture/screen and easy to set up and navigate. Recommended if you're not looking for something flashy.
