In this adaptation of the novel "The Price of Salt" by Patricia Highsmith, Therese (Rooney Mara), a young department-store clerk in 1950s Manhattan, meets Carol (Cate Blanchett), a beautiful older woman stuck in a depressing marriage of convenience. As their bond deepens and they become romantically involved, Carol finds the strength to leave her husband (Kyle Chandler). Unfortunately, her spouse starts to raise questions about her fitness as a mother when he realizes that Carol's relationships with her best friend Abby (Sarah Paulson) and Therese are more than just friendships. Directed by Todd Haynes.

A Love Story for the Ages
on March 16, 2016
Posted by: rruiz138
Verified Purchase:Yes
Carol is a love story dealing with two women at a time where the same gender couldn't publicly have affection for one another. Todd Haynes does a beautiful job to make this movie come together despite taking years and years to get this movie out. Phyllis Nagy's adapted screenplay is remarkable and on-point. Finally, the lead actresses, Cate Blanchet and Rooney Mara, had great chemistry to make their love believable and enchanting.

In the mid-2000s, hedge fund manager Michael Burry (Christian Bale) took a hard look at the subprime mortgage market...and saw the tidal wave of borrower defaults to come. As a handful of financial industry insiders watched him bet billions against the very stability of the banks, they felt themselves torn between knowing the consequence of collapse...and getting themselves a very lucrative piece of that action. Adam McKay~s trenchant take on the ~08 economic crisis, inspired by the Michael Lewis bestseller, also stars Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt, Marisa Tomei, Hamish Linklater. 130 min.

Adam McKay's transition to Drama is a success
on March 16, 2016
Posted by: rruiz138
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Big Short deals with four individuals who discover something wrong with the banks and the housing market before the enormous 2008 housing market collapse. Instead of using their insight to help out the government, they use it to get rich off of and bet against the general public to fail. Although the subject matter is no laughing joke, Adam McKay's direction makes this movie well paced and sharply executed.

I really appreciated this movie. I know the average movie watcher can't watch movies with subtitles but some great movies have been made elsewhere in the US.

From the producers of The King's Speech comes the story of a fearless Scottish General, MacBeth (Academy Award~ Nominee Michael Fassbender), whose ambitious wife (Academy Award ~ Winner Marion Cotillard*) urges him to use wicked means to gain power of the throne. A thrilling interpretation of one of Shakespeare's most famous and compelling characters, MacBeth is a dramatic re-imagining of the realities of war-torn times and a tale of all-consuming passion and ambition.

An entertaining version of Shakespeare's play
on March 15, 2016
Posted by: rruiz138
Verified Purchase:Yes
This version of MacBeth has more of a Viking image and it's pretty violent. Michael Fassbender owns at any role and every role he does and his performance as MacBeth is no exception.

Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka has to be one of the most revered characters in cinema. His charisma is shown exquisitely as the creator of Wonka chocolate. A timeless movie that will have generations connecting with one another.

Pure Comedy Classic

Edgar Wright's flawless zombie comedy featuring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost is a timeless movie. There is no way on earth that anyone can give this movie a bad review. It's influential, unique, and gut-busting hilarious.

Great film from Britian

Verified Purchase:Yes
For you Star Wars The Force Awakens, this is one of John Boyega's first features in this sci-fi thriller movie dealing with an alien invasion taking place in the projects. Also, the people behind Shaun of the Dead were producers of the movie. So it's legit!

Great TV for Small Room
on March 3, 2016
Posted by: rruiz138
Verified Purchase:Yes
I buy Blu-Rays like crazy and wanted to get as much definition as I can from this TV. Long story short, this TV delivers and hopefully when I get an apartment of my own I'll be able to buy a larger version of this TV.

Underrated Superhero Movie
on March 2, 2016
Posted by: rruiz138
Verified Purchase:Yes
He might not have flashy power like Iron Man and Thor have, but Ant-Man delivers and Edgar Wright's influence in the script shows you why. Paul Rudd is what you expect Paul Rudd to be in every movie you see him in, but Micheal Douglass as Hank Pym was by far the most impressive performance in the movie. Best superhero movie of 2015!
