Christopher Nolan steps back into the director's chair for this sequel to Batman Begins, which finds the titular superhero coming face to face with his greatest nemesis - the dreaded Joker. Christian Bale returns to the role of Batman, Maggie Gyllenhaal takes over the role of Rachel Dawes (played by Katie Holmes in Batman Begins), and Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger dons the ghoulishly gleeful Joker makeup previously worn by Jack Nicholson and Cesar Romero. Just as it begins to appear as if Batman, Lt. James Gordon (Gary Oldman), and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) are making headway in their tireless battle against the criminal element, a maniacal, wisecracking fiend plunges the streets of Gotham City into complete chaos.

Now this.. is a beautiful movie!

This is one of the best if not the best 4K quality movie I've ever seen. First of all, all the IMAX scenes you get the full detail and full picture. None of those black bars. Second, the quality of this is beyond that of the Blu Ray version. The Hong Kong scenes were off the charts, and the night dark scenes were crisp and great with no washed out. Of course it helps to watch this movie with an OLED TV which I have. The only problem I had was, it doesn't have Dolby Atmos surround sound. Just DTS 5.1. The HDR was great on this movie as well!

Great Addition To The Batman Movie Collection!

Great movie, and I love how Christopher Nolan doesn't depend on CGI so much like other directors these days. Geez, it's like DC Comics are purposely doing the EXACT opposite nowadays compared to this guy's trilogy masterpiece. I mean, I can't even say that Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies did all three awesomely. Even he had fallen in the third installment, most likely because of Sony rushing him, but still. Anyways, my review is becoming into a rambling rant, the whole point is that this is a great addition to the Batman Movie titles.

My wife received this as a birthday present and instantly fell in love! It’s big, smooth and fast. Perfect for anyone who wants an iPad that doesn’t want to spend a lot. As well, I should add that the color gold is more in between a gold and a rose gold, which was a bit unexpected but that made me love it even more. I am beyond satisfied with this iPad and am extremely happy I got it for her.

This WOULD Make Scrooge Smile
on December 26, 2019

One of Dolly Parton’s more popular songs is “Coat of Many Colors.” The song tells a story of how momma Parton sewed together a coat from an assortment of colorful rags. This movie is an adaption of that song and episode in Dolly’s childhood. The movie is a well-constructed production: the script is tight and witty, the acting ensemble was well cast, an ample budget is evident, and many timely messages were conveyed.
Alyvia Alyn Lind portrays young Parton, and does an excellent job. Lind is a fresh, plucky young actress who provided a consistent tone through the whole movie. Cast as her mother, Jennifer Nettles compliments Lind with an equally quality performance. Country music fans know Nettles can sing, but who knew she could act! She comes across as a seasoned veteran. Ricky Schroder, though not given much opportunity to show the depth of his acting skills, holds down his part as father Parton. The remaining Parton clan is cast with young actors who generate authentic chemistry. Thanks to a well written script, many of the young actors were provided with funny and entertaining lines that reminded me of the ensembles from the Little Rascals/Our Gang series.
This event in Dolly’s life may not have happened exactly as portrayed in the movie, but nonetheless, the sentiments and messages of love, tolerance, forgiveness, friendship, patience – and other ideals – are well presented without coming across too sappy. All in all, the movie is a quality family movie which can be viewed multiple times. Unfortunately, it seems like these types of movies are harder and harder to come by. This movie would make Scrooge smile!

If you have not seen this movie, you are missing out! This is a wholesome family film with a great lesson. My daughter have watched it again and again. It displays a simpler time when family was the most important, not the gifts at Christmas.

Hilarious
on November 12, 2019
Posted by: AandJ091108
Verified Purchase:Yes
This R-rated comedy is about a trio of tweens (Room and The Predator's Jacob Tremblay, Last Man on Earth's Keith L. Williams, and Brady Noon) who want to learn how to kiss for an upcoming party. The kids are naive and their attempts to learn land them in a series of increasingly insane situations. And I loved it.
The movie is insanely funny. Joke after joke lands. I haven't laughed so much during a movie in a long, long time.
The three leads are all distinctive and likable. The actors do an excellent job. The entire cast is strong.
They do try a little too hard at points to push the boundaries of what you can do with children in a movie. There is one scene that is especially uncomfortable. I'm not trying to censor, but ask yourself: how far is too far?
The film has a good ending, but I felt a few parts could've been edited down. The film runs briskly at an hour and a half. Part of strength is it pacing, jumping constantly from situation to situation without driving a joke to death. However, you expect things to slow down once you reach the wrap up.
Unless you feel uncomfortable with children in some pretty mature situations, I highly recommend this.

My All Time Favorite Movie!
on October 13, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
RV shows what it is like to try to be a successful businessman and to simultaneously be a good family man. Robin plays Bob, a man who truly loves his family but also wants to advance at his job. He knows his family will benefit from going on vacation together in an RV but yet he sneakily works on his business presentation while on vacation. While on vacation, Bob and his family encounter another family in an RV, the Gornickes. The movie shows the lifestyles of two very different families and how they react to each other. The movie has laughs plus it is realistic about what it is like to be a man in today's corporate culture. Robin does a great job of a man just trying to do the right thing for his family by providing for them through his job. RV should appeal to almost any family.

Wonderful, except for the ending!
on October 9, 2019
Posted by: AandJ091108
Verified Purchase:Yes
The film opens with Bonnie, the lucky little girl who inherited Andy's toys, nervously getting ready for orientation at her first day in kindergarten. Woody's (Tom Hanks) not being played with very much anymore, but he clearly sees her apprehension. He decides to stowaway in her backpack to keep an eye on her. Once at school, Bonnie is uneasy in the unfamiliar environment. When she attempts to make a friend and is promptly rebuffed, Woody springs into action. He rifles through a nearby wastepaper basket and quickly fishes out a spork and some crafting supplies. He tosses the items in front of Bonnie while she's distracted, and then dives out of sight and into her backpack. Bonnie suddenly notices the supplies and creates Forky (Tony Hale), complete with mismatched eyes, a red unibrow, blue mouth, pipe cleaner arms and popsicle sticks for feet attached to play-doh or quite possibly discarded gum. Woody is instantly relieved when he sees that Bonnie's mood turns around by the creation of Forky.
When her parents inform her that they're going on a road trip, Bonnie decides to bring every single one of the toys along for the ride in their RV. In the meantime, Woody immediately takes Forky under his wing. He spends much of his time trying to keep his new friend from tossing himself into garbage cans. The spork declares himself trash and calmly explains to Woody that the cans make him feel safe and warm. The lovable cowboy tries to extol the importance of being a child's toy and that Forky is a toy, just like the rest of them. When the friends are separated from the rest of the group during the trip, they forge a friendship that neither one expected.
Great performances by Christina Hendricks (Gabby Gabby), Keanu Reeves (Duke Caboom) Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele (Ducky and Bunny), as well as the old familiar friends, Tim Allen (Buzz Lightyear), Joan Cusack (Jessie), Wallace Shawn (Rex), John Ratzenberger (Hamm), and Estelle Harris (Mrs. Potato Head). It's a rich, deep story, one filled with metaphors that will go over a child's head, but as an adult, you'll notice them and understand. Without spoiling anything, my heart literally sank at the ending, completely out of left field, of what has been ingrained in our minds all of these years. Some people will disagree, and some won't. Worth a watch regardless.

Not the best "Annabelle", but still entertaining!
on October 9, 2019
Posted by: AandJ091108
Verified Purchase:Yes
After the big disappointment the first Annabelle movie was, Warner really made up everything that they did wrong with "Annabelle Creation", which is in my opinion, the best movie from all the "Conjuring" movies including the main movies and all the spin-offs, so I was excited for the third movie!
As with "The Nun" and "The Curse of la Llorona" I avoided all trailers and promos at all costs to be more shocked and scared when I watched the actual movie, because Warner always seems to give too much scares at the trailers, so when the actual scares come in the movie all the effect is lost, but I could not run away from all trailers as the movie was heavily promoted at theaters.
With "Annabelle Comes Home", the third installment of the Annabelle movie series, you could easily think that either Warner is trying to get as much money as they can as "The Conjuring" movie series is one of the most successful horror franchises of the decade, and "Annabelle Comes Home" does not disappoint.
This third installment is focused on Judy, the Warrens' daughter and her babysitter, Mary Ellen, who stay home alone after Judy's parents, Ed and Lorraine leave the house for one day. What seemed like another babysitting day easily becomes a nightmare, after Mary Ellen's nosy best friend, Daniela finds out what the Warrens do for a living. Feeling curious of the room filled with "cursed" objects, Daniela unleashes the demon that is trapped on Annabelle's body.
The biggest strength from "Annabelle Comes Home" is how simple and yet effective the movie is.
The movie doesn't really add something new to the franchise, but if you decide to let that fact go you will have a good time. There are some scares that are your basic Conjuring scares, so they might not be super effective, but other amazingly-executed new ways of scaring you are also present. I jumped a lot of times during the movie for how unexpected and amazing they were.
As 90% of the movie happens at the Warrens' house, the movie takes full advantage of this. Even though this is an Annabelle movie, the movie finally uses more cursed objects like the bride dress, the haunted TV or a werewolf to deliver a "freshness" without taking too much of our attention of Annabelle. That was my favorite part of the movie. It ended up delivering much more of what I thought!
McKenna Grace and Madison Iseman are without a doubt the biggest stars of the movie; they give more layers to characters that could easily feel one-dimensional and they performances were believable and amazing. The rest of the cast, including Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, who return on a limited capacity, are still flawless on every scene they're in.
Even though this is not the strongest "Annabelle" to date, I think they did an amazing job with this one and I felt like the movie had more strengths than weaknesses. If you decide to ignore the flaws the film has, you'll end up loving this one too!

A field trip to Europe with his classmates was supposed to provide Peter Parker (Tom Holland) with a well-earned respite from his superhero alter-ego of Spider-Man. But when he's recruited by superspy Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Spidey is soon back on the job and teaming up with the InchMysterioInch-us Quentin Beck (Jake Gyllenhaal)-apparently a hero from an alternate universe-for a dangerous mission that may not be what it appears. Zendaya, Jon Favreau, Marisa Tomei co-star in this fun-filled Marvel sequel.

I LOVE Smart Superhero Movies!!!!
By AandJ091108
After Endgame, I wondered what could be next and this movie definitely didn't disappoint! I love superhero movies that, even though they're still fantastical and obviously fictitious, explain themselves and aren't so fantastical that they're completely unbelievable. This one fit that bill to a "T". At first I wasn't sure about Mysterio and I knew that there had to be a catch and when he showed his true colors it made me like him a lot! I have to admit: I LOVE Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Holland and I'd probably watch them in anything at least once, but I'm so glad I've purchased this and will definitely watch it again and again! Another thing: I'm pleasantly surprised by Zendaya's character development and acting chops! She's not a damsel in distress like Kirsten Dunst was in the last Spider-Man trilogy (sorry, didn't even bother with the last set made with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone) and the relationship between her and Tom Holland seems plausible and like a match made in reality, but not "in heaven" (i.e. perfect and squeaky clean). Gah. Just watch this movie. You won't be sorry!
