FARGO S2 - NEW ERA. NEW MYSTERY. SAME SNOWY HECK!
on March 25, 2016
Posted by: LordSteve01
from SLC, UT
Verified Purchase:Yes
This season of Fargo can be viewed without watching the first, though there are some cool strands of plot-winks in there if you did. I really like this resurgence of anthology TV that we are getting nowadays, with shows like Fargo, True Detective and American Horror Story, as they always tend to excite with what may come next. In this case, we get a new string of murders that somehow yarn into one giant mystery, a new setting with the era of the 70s, and its all set in the same snowy landscape that we love - this time sprawling across N. Dakota, Fargo, and Kansas City - with mobsters coming from each area, coppers on the wrong side of the line and a poor couple that has stumbled into one heck of a doozy. But don't worry, it will all end well, right? After all, this is Fargo!

The Fifth Element - Pop Art Steelbook
on March 25, 2016
Posted by: LordSteve01
from SLC, UT
Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie itself is more of 3-4 star film, depending on when you first viewed the film, as it hasn't aged that well, but not as bad as some junk from the 90s. Far from the brand of film Besson was typically known for at the time, films like Leon and Le Femme Nikita, this Hollywood production still has that certain flare of his that shines through and really makes this a fun movie. The Pop Art Steelbook is one of the best of the series, in my opinion, and was well worth the purchase.

Leon The Professional - Pop Art Steelbook
on March 25, 2016
Posted by: LordSteve01

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an awesome piece to own if your a fan of steelbooks and Leon The Professional. The artwork is great and has a matte (flat) finish to it, nothing special in that particular area. The BD is not the 4k transfer, as this came out a bit before 4K, but there's still not much to gripe about if you own the current BD release. Contains both versions of the film - Theatrical Cut and International Cut. For the price ($15), it was well worth the double dip.

A Slight-Of-Hand Crime-Thriller
on March 4, 2016
Posted by: LordSteve01
from SLC, UT
Verified Purchase:Yes
Fresh off the success of Prisoners, and after making the extremely underrated indie flick Enemy, Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve makes his return to big-budget Hollywood with Sicario, a quiet and tense thriller that plays at one plot, while quietly whispering the true story to the audience for almost 3/4 of the film. Sicario is a term that has a long history to it, but for this particular outing the meaning is that of a "Hitman" or "Assassin". The film is centered around Emily Blunt's character, a steadfast FBI agent that is recruited into the larger world of the CIA, and ever further a sect that involves "Spooks" or "Ghosts" - highly skilled individuals that are tasked with executing objectives quietly and un-noticed, the group lead by Josh Brolin, and aided by a mysterious man played by Benecio Del Toro. The plot puts these main players up against the Mexican drug cartel and the leaders that order the acts of violence to maintain the balance of corruption. The film as a whole is an ebb and flow of tense situation and character revelations, equaling an experience that provides plenty of tense moment, but are bogged down by long stretches of exposition that really don't matter at the end of it all. Recommended for those enjoy cat-n-mouse type crime-thrillers, maybe films like Katheryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty or The Hurt Locker, to a very-lesser extent Oliver Stone's Savages. But ultimately, Denis Villeneuve is an auteur filmmaker with his own power and vision, slowly growing as a director that can undertake bigger films and Sicario is another great example of an artist evolving.

A Fincher-esque Mystery/Thriller
on March 4, 2016
Posted by: LordSteve01
from SLC, UT
Verified Purchase:Yes
Canadian auteur Denis Villeneuve (Incendies. Polytechnique) gets his chance at big Hollywood filmmaking with a dark crime thriller that weaves itself with enough mystery to keep you guessing until the end. Dark and brooding, the story tells the tale of a young girl and her friend that have gone missing and the only prospects of finding them lie within a young man, and possible perpetrator, who is appears to be nothing more than a simpleton. Whether this is true or not is all a part of the mystery, Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal and Paul Dano are the main players in the ordeal, though Paul Dano's role puts him in a position with little dialogue and just as much screen time, but this doesn't stop him from performing with the same gusto as his counterparts, and all three actors do a fantastic job of putting the entire plot into a pressure cooker of emotions that rings throughout the entire film. Supported by a cast of equally excellent actors: Terrance Howard, Viola Davis, Maria Bello and Melissa Leo - none of which go to waste. Each supporting player has their place in the story to add balance to the plot and each individual plays their part perfectly. This film has a Fincher-esque feel to it all, dark and very well paced, this film makes its mark in the Crime/Mystery genre with the likes of David Fincher's Seven and Zodiac. Recommended for those who enjoy their mysteries cloaked in the shadows and never really in control, as everything spirals out of control.
