Decent mythology-based fantasy for kids
on August 16, 2016
Posted by: KOG7777
Probably made as an attempt to cash in on the popularity of other book-to-film adaptations based on children's and YA series (Harry Potter, Hunger Games, etc) - this series does not reach that standard of quality. FX are OK in some areas, poor in others. Acting is OK but the story feels a little disjointed. I suspect it's more enjoyable if you've ready the books first.

For fans of the first film
on August 16, 2016
Posted by: KOG7777
This may be a sort of 'love it or hate it' film. I had liked the first film a fair amount when it came out, so I was happy to see the sequel. It's got a lot of the same characters, but the story is less fresh and fun this time around, and the humor seems more mean-spirited. But still, if you liked the first one, it may be worth your time to check this one out, just to see what's happened in the lives of the returning characters.

Fantastic update to an older classic
on August 16, 2016
Posted by: KOG7777
I watched the original TV show a little when I was young, but I have no strong attachment to it. So I went into this film with no pre-set expectations. I found it to be solidly entertaining... even though it didn't get a great reception at the box office when it was in theaters. High production values, likeable cast, and a well shot western backdrop are strong points. There are some very cool action setpieces involving trains that will be a lot of fun for any railroad enthusiasts. Johnny Depp's performance is 'quirky' in a way that's similar to what he's done in Pirates of the Caribbean, Alice in Wonderland, and other recent 'eccentric character' films. So you're enjoyment of his performances in those films is probably a good indicator of whether or not you will like his character in this movie.

Great visuals, OK story
on August 16, 2016
Posted by: KOG7777
I had high hopes for this one after really enjoying the director's previous film, District 9. Elysium continues the strong sense of world-building and great sci-fi visual design, but falters a little with a story that isn't as unique or engaging. Its themes of class struggle and economic disparity are a little too unsubtle for my taste, but the solid sci-fi visuals and well put together action scenes are a plus.

The ultimate LOTR collection on blu-ray
on August 16, 2016
Posted by: KOG7777
If you're thinking of buying this sat, chances are good that you've already seen the films at least once, if not many times over. All that's really important to know is that this is all 3 LOTR films in extended cut form (and the added scenes do make a lot of difference, especially in the 2nd and 3rd films) plus a whole lot of special bonus features that are actually very worth watching. If you love the films, this is the version to get.

This intense release from the acclaimed British detective series Sherlock includes all three feature-length episodes from the show's third season, following the adventures of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's titular hyper-observant detective as set in modern day London.

Highly recommended for modern mystery fans
on August 16, 2016
Posted by: KOG7777
Third season of BBC's ongoing modern-day take on the classic Sherlock Holmes series. This season focuses a bit more on the characters than on the mysteries themselves, but it continues to be a very well made and unique series. Sadly I hear the next season may be the last.
