The idea of making a movie about Task Force X, the Suicide Squad, is really great. This came out a year or two after the success of Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy." That movie managed to take a group of relatively unknown characters and turn them into a big blockbuster hit. This movie tried to do the same thing, but it fell short because of a few reasons.
The first reason it did not succeed as well as Guardians did is because Guardians had 5 main characters while this movie crammed in over 10 main characters into one movie. That's twice as many as Guardians. When you have to try and explain an entirely new cast of characters and set up a problem for them to fight, things get complicated. This movie would have worked better if they cut down the cast to 5 or 6 members of the squad and spent more time trying to develop them.
The second issue why this movie fell flat is the use of the Joker. The Joker is easily one of the most iconic and recognizable villains in D.C. history. Jared Leto's portrayal was played up a lot in the trailer and promotional material for this movie. In the end he is only on screen for about 10 minutes. That's a real let down because they could have done a lot more with making him the villain the squad had to take down.
Overall, it's a pretty decent movie, but the bloating of characters and the overused "sky beam" as the antagonist's weapon to destroy the world kept this movie from reaching it's full potential.
Also, The D.C. Animated Universe made an animated Suicide Squad movie a few years back called "Batman: Assault on Arkham." I would recommend checking that movie out to see how a more balanced and focused movie featuring the "Suicide Squad" can be done.

This movie is quite interesting. I heard a lot of hype for it, and I recently watched it for the first time a few months ago. The action scenes and cinematography are all done very well. The story is pretty simple, but they lay out the details in a way that makes it still feel fresh and exciting.
Some of the newer movies these days devote a lot of time to setting up exposition. This causes the plot to stop while we wait for background information to be revealed. This movie does a great job of setting up the story, plot, and characters early on. We are able to easily identify what is happening, because they show us the exposition rather than just have some random character try and explain everything. As the movie progresses, we start to lean more and more about this secret society, how it works, and what the rules and limitations are. Overall this is an amazing movie and I would recommend you check it out.

First and foremost, this movie does contain both English and Japanese voice recordings. A majority of the English voice actors from the original season 1 of Digimon reprise their roles as both the human and Digimon characters.
The movie does start off a bit slow, because the main characters have gone their separate ways. They finally all get reunited with each other and with their Digimon partners when Kuwagamon attacks the city.
Overall, I would say this movie was pretty good. I have a feeling that the next Digimon Tri movies will have more action and plot now that the DigiDestined have been brought back together.

As the name suggests, this movie focuses on the Judas Contract series of the Teen Titans comics. Brother Blood contracts Deathstroke to hunt down and capture the Teen Titans to be used for a mystic ritual. All of the characters from the 2003 Teen Titans series are in this move. The only exception is that Cyborg has been replaced with Blue Beetle. Overall, it is a great movie.
Also the 2 bonus cartoons that come with the Blu Ray version are 2 episodes from the 2003 Teen Titans cartoon.
This special collection of Marvel's Iron Man franchise brings together all three films for the first time. The action-packed take on the tale of wealthy philanthropist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr), who develops an invulnerable robotic suit to fight the throes of evil, is traced through the three Iron Man films, and this set contains tons of extras and behind the scenes features for fans of the wildly popular series.

This is a great way to pick up the Iron Man solo movie collection. You save a ton of money when purchasing this Blu-ray 3 movie pack. This bundle includes:
Iron Man on Blu-ray Iron Man 2 on Blu-ray Iron Man 3 on both Blu-Ray and DVD
This single-disc edition of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H is a pared-down version of the two-disc set that is also still available. The film is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves Altman's original aspect ratio. This is a film that really plays terribly when seen in pan-and-scan. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo, while a second English soundtrack and a French soundtrack have both been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Altman. He discusses what it was like filming on the Fox set at a time when two other war films were being created, the initial tension on the set between himself and his two lead actors, how the film came together in the editing room, and various other aspects of the production. The two-disc set offers more whistles and bells, but this release is an outstanding way to acquire this fine film.

M*A*S*H is a great comedy movie. This was made before the television series and as such features a different cast of characters. This movie does a great job of adapting the novel to the big picture. Sit back and enjoy the high-jinks and pranks of this classic army comedy.

This is a classic movie from the original Transformers television series from the 1980s. The transfer to Blu-Ray looks really great, and the audio came out sounding good as well. This movie has an amazing soundtrack that is a swell representation of 80s glam rock. It really helps to enhance the movie experience as a whole. The steelbook casing looks really keen.
While this movie was designed to connect season 2 and season 3 of the original Transformers series, it is still a good stand alone film. Overall, I would recommend checking out this movie if you are a long time Transformers fan, or if you are looking to experience the original show in all its glory.
