A rare misfire from Portman

Verified Purchase:Yes
The usually dependable Natalie Portman is grossly miscast in this uninspired western. May be worth a look, but keep your expectations low.

Still a classic
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: Gaspode
from Park Ridge, NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
With Harrison Ford's numerous forays into Indiana Jones and Star Wars territory, it's easy to overlooks this terrific 1985 drama with Ford playing a Philly cop trying to protect a young Amish boy, who witnessed a murder by another cop, and his mother. The storyline is relatively straightforward, but the understated (and never consummated) love story between Ford and Kelly McGillis is surpringly tender. An often overlooked classic.

Worthy of a sequel

Forget the bloated Stallone version, this is the way Judge Dredd should look. Why there hasn't been a sequel is beyond me.

Classic film gets a bit of polish
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: Gaspode
from Park Ridge, NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
John Boorman's excellent re-telling of the Arthurian legend looked gorgeous on the big screen, but on Blu-ray, it still looks great. Some wonderful performances, notably by Helen Mirren and Nicol Williamson (who steals the show), it's definitely worth a look, even three decades later.

Interesting film that deserves a second look
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: Gaspode
from Park Ridge, NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not sure why this intriguing little film was consigned to the direct-to-video shelf, but it certainly deserves another look. The story and direction are a bit wonky at times, but Adrien Brody is eminently watchable. Well worth your time.

Living in the same universe as InchThe Walking DeadInch, InchFear the Walking DeadInch is a gritty drama that explores the onset of the undead apocalypse through the lens of a fractured family. Set in Los Angeles, a city where people come to escape, shield secrets, and bury their pasts, a mysterious outbreak threatens to disrupt what little stability high school guidance counselor Madison Clark (Kim Dickens, Gone Girl) and English teacher Travis Manawa (Cliff Curtis, Missing) have managed to assemble. The everyday pressure of blending two families while dealing with resentful, escapist, and strung out children takes a back seat when society begins to break down. A forced evolution, a necessary survival of the fittest takes hold, and the dysfunctional family must either reinvent themselves or embrace their darker histories. FEAR THE Walking Dead The Complete First Season cast also includes Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince), Mercedes Mason (Quarantine 2), Ruben Blades (Safe House), Alycia Debnam-Carey (The Devil's Hand), Elizabeth Rodriguez (Orange Is the New Black) and Lorenzo James Henrie (Star Trek).

Nowhere near as good as the original
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: Gaspode
from Park Ridge, NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
With the massive success of The Walking Dead, a spin-off was all but inevitable, but sad to say, Fear the Walking Dead is nowhere near as good as the original. The cast is lackluster, the storylines are uninspired and the characters are frustrating to the extreme, along the lines of 'DON'T GO OUT THERE!' followed by a character doing exactly that. They deserve to be eaten, and soon.

A good movie damaged by hype
on May 8, 2016
Posted by: Gaspode
from Park Ridge, NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Okay, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a pretty good film, but with all the advance hype, you would have thought it was the Second Coming. There is a LOT to enjoy, particularly the fact that director JJ Abrams opted for some top-notch practical FX, rather than the previous George Lucas route of creating virtually everything (no pun intended) in the computer. There is a lot to recommend with The Force Awakens, but one can't help thinking a lot of it is just setup for the future.

During a post-Civil War Wyoming winter, a stagecoach bearing a bounty hunter (Kurt Russell), his foul-mouthed prize (Jennifer Jason Leigh), an ex-Union officer (Samuel L. Jackson) and a lawman (Walton Goggins) makes it's way towards Red Rock. The worsening snows force them to shelter at a general store occupied by a caretaker (Demian Bichir), a cowboy (Michael Madsen), Red Rock's hangman (Tim Roth), and an aged Confederate general (Bruce Dern). As the blizzard traps them within-possibly with no escape-resentments, greed, and hidden agendas emerge that might destroy them before the elements do, in Quentin Tarantino's moody and stylish sagebrusher.

Flawed but fascinating
on May 8, 2016
Posted by: Gaspode
from Park Ridge, NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Tarantino's latest film is a strange one to watch. The second half of the film is far superior to the first, but you have to get through the endless setup of the first half to fully enjoy the rest. The benefit of watching it on DVD for the first time is you can go back and check out all the bits and pieces you missed in the initial viewing!

An excellent, but overlooked film
on May 8, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Will Smith turns in one of his best acting performances in years, as a forensic neuropathologist investigating possible widespread brain damage in professional football. Even if you're not a football fan, the overriding storyline should be more than sufficient to pique your interest.

This multi-disc release contains several episodes of The Last Kingdom, the fascinating re-telling of King Alfred the Great's mission to united several kingdoms into what would become England.

Excellent television adaptation

If you passed up The Last Kingdom (based on the excellent period novel by Bernard Cornwell) here's your chance to see it. Beautifully produced, with excellent production values, it's definitely worth your time.
