Go foreign

There have been so many very good foreign films lately and this is one of them. Basing something on Murakami never hurts!

Tough to top 1

Verified Purchase:Yes
The first Fantastic Beasts was such a surprise and this one fell far short of it. Too long...too dark...to heavy handed...too run of the mill. I didn't think a new story would feel so tired in just the second installment.

2019 Winner
on March 16, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
Easily one of the best last year if not 2019's actual best picture. All three performances are insanely good. But Olivia Colman is amazing. Plenty of dark humor and zaniness wrapped up in corsets and scheming.

Excellent value

Getting the 4K, blu ray, and digital copy in one package is a steal. This is a stone cold classic and the basis for plenty of sci-fi movies that came after it. Stunning in 4K.

First Man > La La Land
on March 10, 2019
Posted by: MovieSteve

Verified Purchase:Yes
Here's a Damien Chazelle movie I really like. Gosling is so good here that almost everyone else looks a little less than. Only the visual/special effects can match him. Certainly a slow burn, but worth sticking it out for.

That cover...
on March 10, 2019
Posted by: MovieSteve
from Pittsburgh, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Interesting that the main character...who feels increasingly suffocated by his faith's opinion of who he is and his family's reaction to his sexuality...is forced to the background on the cover. That's some sly marketing there. The movie could use some more time and a bit more story to really hit home. It certainly makes you feel for the main character and Lucas Hedges is a big reason why. Kidman does some interesting work and Crowe is better than he has been in a while with his limited screen time.

An interesting take on the original that has some deeply unsettling moments and others that could have been cut. Dakota Johnson isn't the best actress of all time, but she may be at her best here. It succeeds at being very creepy despite big winks to the original from time to time. And that bloodbath of an ending...wowzers.

The drawn out ending.
on March 10, 2019
Posted by: MovieSteve
from Pittsburgh, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Much like the final Lord of the Rings movie, the last Harry Potter movie runs a bit long...and then it goes some more. Considering it has a whole movie to cover half a story (that's mostly taken up with a fight scene anyway), it just feels like there could've been more...?

One of his best movies and certainly a high point for Ray Liotta's career. Good music, good actors, good story...it's a good time.

A Star (Re)Born

Verified Purchase:Yes
Lady Gaga can certainly try to act. Her powerhouse voice carries her through this (even when the songs are awful) and she peaks in the first half of the movie. However, Bradley Cooper dominates this movie in front of the camera and proves himself behind it. It's arguably his best performance to date.
