This movie isn't for everyone, it's not a typical Seth Rogen comedy. While there are several laugh out loud moments, there's also some real darkness here; the tone reminds me a bit of Eastbound and Down (this movie's director, Jody Hill, is one of the co-creators of Eastbound).

If you're expecting an early version of Star Wars, you'll be disappointed. This film is not for everyone, but it's always interesting to look at the early work of groundbreaking artists. The plot isn't particularly complicated (neither was Star Wars') but as you would expect from Lucas, the imagery is compelling.
The commentary by Lucas and Murch is very detailed, highly recommended listen for film buffs.

Game of Thrones is one of the best series on TV. This first season set the tone for the entire series, showing that anything can happen to anyone at any time.
The digital transfer is stunning. Picture and sound are both reference quality, crystal clear.
Extras are great, lots of commentaries and behind the scenes featurette. A must watch.

I've seen the original and the first "director's cut" from the early 90s, and this new "final cut" easily outshines them all. What you get is Ridley Scott's fully realized vision of this sci-fi classic. Note you only get this final cut version of the film; to get the earlier versions you have to buy one of the multidisc sets.

A very funny and at times surprisingly touching movie. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg combine hilarious raunchy humor with insights on navigating the treacherous, fickle world of high school.
The commentary, featuring all of the main cast and crew, is very entertaining and informative; seems like they had as much fun making the movie as I did watching it.

What's great about it: Funny movie, smart writing, good extras
See TITANIC as you have never seen it before, digitally re-mastered and overseen by Academy Award-winning director James Cameron and producer Jon Landau. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet shine in the timeless love story born of tragedy that created an international phenomenon as memorable as the legendary ship of dreams. Winner of 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, this epic masterpiece is destined to sweep audiences anew into the journey of a lifetime. Titanic was originally released in 1997.

Titanic is a great example of Hollywood spectacle filmmaking done well. I've seen it ridiculed as one of the worst movies to ever win the Oscar for Best Picture; I couldn't disagree more. The story isn't very complex, but this isn't a book, or even a screenplay; it's a movie, and the combination of the stunning visuals, beautiful music and pretty good acting combine to create a truly moving cinematic experience.
I was impressed with the 3D, as unlike Cameron's Avatar, it was added on retroactively. It really added to the experience.

The only bad thing about this movie is I wanted more; it's less than an hour long. But I'm so grateful the filmmakers had the foresight to make this movie, to be able to see the great Michael Jordan in high definition, as most other Jordan footage is broadcast video quality, which does not hold up well on high def sets.
Basketball fans of all ages will enjoy this.

A great movie that I wish I had seen on the big screen. Kingsley is amazing. The extras are wonderful, particularly Attenborough's commentary. 30 years later, this movie still holds up.

This is Adam Sandler's most financially successful movie to date, but I found it pretty dull. I came into it with high expectations, being a fan of all the old SNL guys. The material was beneath them, wouldn't have made it as a skit on SNL during their heyday.
