James Bond a Without James Bond

Pierce Brosnan channels an older version of James Bond in this spy thriller. Great action beats and effects, but story is a bit standard of spy vs. spy.

Had almost forgotten about this gem. Not as well known as Jurassic Park but still a compelling story with excellent action beats. Worth a watch!

Overlooked Indie Gem
on February 21, 2014
Posted by: Uptown1999

This overlooked Indie gem is a must watch for Brie Larson's performance alone. She is spectacular in her role as one of the leaders of a juvenile delinquent center who is dealing with her own set of issues.

What's great about it: Brie Larson's performance

Season 6 of Mad Men gives us more of what we expect...pure excellence, from the acting to the writing to spot on representation of the 1960's, this shows does it consistently right. A worthy purchase for any fan of the show. Excellent picture and audio quality as well.

When he is not appointed as Secretary of State as expected, Underwood vows to exact revenge upon those whom he feels betrayed him. Robin Wright, Kate Mara, and Corey Stoll also star.

One of the best shows ever made-simple as that.
on February 21, 2014
Posted by: Uptown1999
from Waukesha, WI
There is no doubt that Breaking Bad will go down in TV history as one of the greatest shows ever made. The cast was superbly cast and every episode is extremely well written. The Final Season wraps up all of the major story lines but still manages to shock and surprise the viewer. Worth adding to any serious TV lover's library.

Hanks Gives Performance of His Career
on February 21, 2014
Posted by: Uptown1999
from Waukesha, WI
How Tom Hanks didn't receive an Academy Award nomination for his performance in Captain Phillips amazes me. He is that good in this film! Even though the outcome of this real life story is well known, this film does a terrific job building suspense all of the way up to the last moments. Definitely worth adding to any serious film lovers library. Superb audio and video as well.

What's great about it: Great performance by a Hanks, terrific suspense
What's not so great: Nothing
