Kong is no longer a 50 ft tall ape. He is now hundreds of feet tall! This film is essentially the first in a long line of ( at least the producers hope) "Kaiju" films. It introduces the characters, defines the issues facing mankind and sts up the battles to come. The special effects are outstanding, and the plot is acceptable. While not a "great film" this is an enjoyable popcorn movie, and definitely worth the price. I would recommend this.

Fans of Star Trek will love this. Once again the team is in dire straights! The plot and the special effects are excellent. I really like this group of actors, but am saddened by the passing of Anton Yelchin who has a key role in this film. Highly recommended!

This show just seems to get better and better. In season 5 we now have the dragons growing up, a battle with whitewalkers, and a horrendous act of cruelty perpetrated by someone other than Joffrey. The season ending episode features a huge cliffhanger. This show is so good you will wish it was on 52 weeks a year! Highly recommended.

Overall this movie was pretty good. The opening premise dealing with how Lucy gets affected seems a bit "out there," but the way her new found powers are discovered is pretty cool. If you are a fan of science fiction you will like this. Subtle, but well done special effects.

I would have preferred that this installment of the Hunger Games franchise would have not been cut into 2 different films. However, Mockingjay Part 1 was very well done. It kept me interested and delivered at the end.

I had seen this movie in the theaters last summer and the new Blu-ray does a great job of bringing it to the small (or at least smaller) screen. The transfer is excellent and the sound is exceptional. The movie itself has a great blend of action, suspense, comedy, and surprises. If you like the Tom Cruise movies of old you will love this.
