A harrowing tale, updated and as relevant as ever

Verified Purchase:Yes
When Steven Spielberg, our greatest living popular filmmaker, and Tom Cruise, our most dedicated living movie star, pooled their talents to to make a movie about how quickly everything falls apart in the face of sudden, overwhelming terror and how important it is to hang on in spite of it all, well, it's going to be a great movie, and it is. Thankfully, it's been reevaluated in the last few years, and finally getting the regard it's always deserved.

For X-Men movies, it's pretty good

If you've been viewing these movies sem-regularly for years now, you're probably invested enough that Days of Future Past'll mean something to you (despite Singer's bland direction and the lackluster costume design). For an average moviegoer who might wonder why there are so many blue people in one movie, this might not be the best use of their time...

The survivors built a city beneath the Traveler, and have begun to explore our old worlds, only to find them filled with deadly foes.You are a Guardian of the last safe city on Earth, able to wield incredible power.

This might be the game where we all finally realize that the first person shooter, as it stands today, has worn out its welcome.

Marvel's best film to date
on September 13, 2014
Posted by: WF2401
from Colorado
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Winter Soldier brings Cap's past back to haunt him, and the entire world, in a number of fun and terrifying ways. The cast is uniformly great this time out: Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, and Anthony Mackie all inhabit their characters and gell nicely from the moment they step onscreen together, Robert Redford and Samuel L. Jackson deliver the great performances that are their calling cards, and Sebastian Stan... let's say he gets to go to some dark places. Really, aside from the music (which doesn't come anywhere close to approaching the melodic, iconic heights of Alan Silvestri's score from The First Avenger), there's not a complaint to be leveled here.
Though, it is tremendously disappointing to see Marvel break from recent tradition and not include a "One-Shot" short film on this home release.

Tense, thrilling, exciting...

It must kind of suck to be Jack Reacher, because you're living in a world where every other person on the planet is either A) apathetic, B) well-meaning but incompetent, or C) straight-up evil. And, whoever you are, you're pretty darn stupid. Thank the lord we have Jack Reacher to set us straight, though, stepping off the bus and onto our crime scenes, unraveling criminal conspiracies as easily as he changes his wardrobe at the local Goodwill.
If you're a thriller aficionado, if you like your noir action hard-boiled, and/or if you can buy into 'Jack Reacher' as a character, there's an exceptional amount of fun to be had here. With the exception of the height disparity between the lead actor and the character from the books, I think this is the best Tom Cruise casting decision I've ever seen. So much of what we've come to believe about his personality runs parallel to Reacher's - the drive, the singleminded focus, the superiority complex - that I was able to buy into it from the first minute to the last.
And, the music! There were actual themes relating to the characters, and melodies, not just tones used to enhance the mood!

What's great about it: characterization, plot, photography, music
What's not so great: leans a little too heavily on some tropes that are well-worn and offensive by this point

Having watched this movie at least once a week since it came to digital early release (not to mention this long-awaited blu-ray release), I may not have the most objectivity when it comes to writing about it. But, what the heck? The Lego Movie is fun, funny, zippy and whip-smart, with so many jokes working on enough levels to satisfy virtually any conceivable audience member. It's got an enormous amount of heart at its core, too - the movie's conclusion is one of the best things I've seen in years.
Also, the commentary from the directors & much of the voice cast is not to be missed, partially because they spend a huge chunk of time pointing out little sight gags you might have missed otherwise.

Players, start your engines. It's time to once again get on the racing circuit and compete against characters from the Mushroom Kingdom that you know and love. For the first time on the Nintendo Wii U console, you get to experience the racing action that has been a fan favorite for years, with a few added features to keep things interesting. So buckle up, push the pedal to the floor and get ready to turn this classic racing experience upside down.With new racing circuits, new gameplay features and a stunning new look, Mario Kart 8 certainly lives up to the legacy. The new anti-gravity feature will have you suddenly finding yourself racing on walls in a haunted mansion or upside-down over Princess Peach's castle ~ not to worry, the wheels on your kart will automatically rotate and shift into antigravity gear for an awesome racing element that allows mind-blowing new circuit designs. The previous games in the Mario Kart franchise introduced some amazing features, so they're back for more in Mario Kart 8. You can still see who's got what it takes in 12-player online competitive play. Hang gliders and motorbikes are back, as well as underwater racing and mid-air tricks, while Waluigi and Toadette rejoin the cast of characters. As the icing on the cake, the crisp, high-definition graphics and 60-frames-per-second frame rate of your Nintendo Wii U ensure a visually stunning and vibrant gameplay experience that you won't soon forget.

DKC Returns on the Wii was a ton of fun, but now that Tropical Freeze has come out, you could easily make the argument that Returns was just laying the groundwork for the real masterpiece on the Wii U. Without that obnoxious roll-mapped-to-a-controller-shake issue that damaged the entire Returns experience for a lot of people, and an expanded cast of supporting characters for the big gorilla, Retro was free to create a powerful, challenging, and compelling old-school-style video gaming experience. It's not easy, but it is fair, and that fairness keeps you coming back and burning life after life after life in the hopes of just beating one more level. And the bosses - goodness, the bosses! As challenging as anything I've faced in the 21st century of gaming! Super Nintendo purists, be warned: this isn't just as good as the old Donkey Kong Country games; Tropical Freeze is better.
