This was fun to watch! A lot of action, suspense, humor and special effects. Paul Rudd was terrific and Michael Douglas was fantastic. Michael Pena added some very funny situations and Evangeline Lily was fantastic as the estranged daughter, Hope Pym.

This is the story of a prize-fighter, Billy Hope, played by Jake Gyllenhaal. The drama unfolds after tragic events including the death of his wife, the loss of his daughter to Child Protective Services and abandonment by his trainer. When he acquires a new trainer Tick Willis played by Forest Whitaker, he tries to regain his life and status as a professional. Well acted by the entire cast. The film had a "Rocky" feel about it.

The story begins with Robyn and Simon, newlyweds in their new home. Gordon, an old friend of Simon's, starts leaving gifts at the couples door. Eventually, past secrets are revealed. The film is suspenseful in the way it is presented. Jason Bateman is convincing in his role as Simon as is rebecca Hall as Robyn.

A group of semi-adults go to Rendlesham Forest to look for old treasure and aliens. Jake, Sally & Gus (you won't recognize their actor names) get their car stolen while trespassing. A cinematography failure in that the hand-held cams are jerky. Just watchable.

A Russian spacecraft is trapped in the ice by a fishing boat carrying a team of scientists who eventually discover that some alien being is aboard. Lance Henriksen's performance is just fine.

Dean Cain plays Mason, an "action hero" cop.. There's nothing different or special here. Typical story line involving doing a crime to get into prison for the purpose of getting revenge. There are no twisty sub-plots but the film has enough action to make it watchable.

This is a collection of 12 shorts from Disney Studios between 2000 and 2015. Each is presented in the original aspect ratio. The Blu-Ray quality enhances everything. A few of the shorts may be a little strong for young children - Lorenzo, John Henry & Little Match Girl.
For 19 year old Jay, fall should be about school, boys and weekends out at the lake. But after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter, she finds herself plagued by strange visions and the inescapable sense that someone, or something, is following her. Jay and her teenage friends must now find a way to escape the horrors that seem to be only a few steps behind in this critically-acclaimed chiller that Bloody Disgusting calls the scariest movie of 2015.

This is an edge of your seat movie and the tension never lets go. It is artistic, original and well played. The typical horror genre blood and guts scenes are scarce but does not reduce the nail biting inclination. Future horror flicks could take a lesson from this movie.

The movie evolves between Ava, a cybernetic creation, played by Alicia Vikander and a computer programmer Caleb played by Domhnall Gleeson, Caleb's mission is to perform a tuning test to see if Ava is actually able to think for herself. Very interesting!

This film is based on an earlier movie, Citizen X, about a serial killer named Andre Chikitillo. Leo Demidov (Tom Hardy), an MGB officer, investigates the murders of young boys and Noomi Rapace plays his wife Raisa. A disturbing movie with great acting!
