Remake
on August 11, 2015
Posted by: ipitythefool
Verified Purchase:Yes
I would describe it as a remake of the 1976 film sprinkled with some additional elements from the Stephen King novel. It was very well made, and the modernization is appropriate without being too obvious of the change in times

A Super-Secret Organization recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training program just as a dire global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius. A phenomenal cast, including Academy Award Winners Colin Firth and Michael Caine and Oscar Nominee Samuel L. Jackson, leads this action-packed spy-thriller directed by Matthew Vaughn (X-Men First Class).

A notch below classic. Over the top action and a little bit of hookey villian in samuel l jackson.

A satisfying companion piece to Brazil
on April 14, 2015
Posted by: ipitythefool
Verified Purchase:Yes
Christopher Waltz plays a troubled man in an oppressive, apparently pointless job in his corporate cubicle. As you'd expect from Gilliam, he explores this not with a bleak gray background, but a garish cartoony near-future world full of madness and humour. I suspect this choice won't be for everyone, as the first hour of the film is slightly over-the-top, particularly David Thewliss's David Brent-like supervisor who is able to show a mannered but more serious side than his Tarantino roles, Gilliam gains unexpected levels of gravitas as he explores themes of isolation in a connected world, constant surveillance and feelings of doom. This can be filed next to Brazil in tone, and is highly recommended for Gilliam fans as his most successful film for many years.

A time when our enemies were easier to recognize?
on April 14, 2015
Posted by: ipitythefool
Verified Purchase:Yes
It is not only about the plot, but also the human toll the Cold War claimed in its path.
I think the series is very well rounded in terms of casting and writing. It has a rhythm that keeps the audience on edge.

A drifter named Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton) brings trouble to small-town Minnesota and influences insurance salesman Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman) into murder. Meanwhile, a pair of local police officers are trying to piece together a series of murders which they believe is connected to Malvo and Nygaard.

Typical dirty billy bob
on April 14, 2015
Posted by: ipitythefool
Verified Purchase:Yes
argo is great.
Pros: Just the right amount of humor. Just the right amount of intensity. Just the right amount of weird.
Cons: None
A roller coaster ride of a show. Sets up scenes beautifully. The characters are not your average theater heroic type. They have typical human traits, which is what draws you to them. It has a dull atmosphere, and for that reason everything that occurs is just that much more extreme.
Do watch.

Tom Cruise as a bad guy
on March 1, 2015
Posted by: ipitythefool
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great to see Tom Cruise playing a villan instead of his usual "cocky good guy who is the best at what he does". Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx, and Jada Pinkett Smith all rise to the occasion in Collateral, and together they transcend their previous appearances on film. Mark Ruffalo gives a good performance as the cop who knows everything is not what it seems.

Bourne like character with a predictable plot. Still an entertaining action flick, but not Denzel's best work.

Entertainment for a while
on January 19, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
Lords of the Fallen, a shameless and sloppy copy of Dark Souls, shouldn't be as enjoyable as it is. Somehow, through all its imbalance and oddity, it remains a surprising amount of fun, even if its propensity to make the player laugh is a sheer accident.

Best superman ever
on January 19, 2015
Posted by: ipitythefool
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good back story and childhood flashbacks of superman make this one the best every. Normally superman is boring to me cause he is too powerful. Its the same thing usually, take a hostage endanger the life of others to slow superman down so your evil doer can gain traction. Not to much of that going on in this version.
