Guy Ritchie Is Back & In 4K!
on December 6, 2020
Posted by: Thanatos138
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're an admirer of the writer/director Guy Ritchie, you already know of his previous works beginning with
Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, his next work Snatch, and Rock N Rolls, considered by many to be modern day classics. Ritchie has the ability to tap into the Crime, Gangster and Heist film genres. He then tosses in comedy, plot twists and his own clever use of dialogue, truly creating his own brand of filmmaking. In my opinion, this film brings Ritchie back to his roots. The picture and sound are much superior when comparing it to the
Blu-ray.

Looks much better than ever on 4K!
on November 23, 2020
Posted by: Thanatos138
Verified Purchase:Yes
In case you missed it, Neill Blomkamp's Science Fiction thriller from 2009 was both a critical and commercial success. The film was produced by Peter Jackson (co-writer and director of both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movie trilogies) . The film had a very modest budget of 30 million dollars which is next to nothing in modern movie making, let alone a special effects Sci-fi film about giant, alien-prawns who've become refugees on planet Earth after their starship is unable to return home. The aliens are concentrated together, heavily monitored and placed into shantytowns where the conditions are abysmal. That's where our story begins. I pride myself on never giving away spoilers. If you're a fan of this and have already seen this on Blu-ray, this 4K version is much better in picture and sound.

One of Del Toro's finest films in 4K !
on November 19, 2020
Posted by: Thanatos138
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pan's Labyrinth was the first film in Spanish of Guillermo del Toro's that I saw & I was
both terrified at some moments &
blown away by at others. I had previously seen Mimic and Hellboy and thoroughly enjoyed those and since then I have seen all of his films. He is a very talented artist, designing settings, characters, monsters, etc. on every film that he directs. My favourites are the films in his
Trilogia De Guillermo Del Toro,
Cronos, The Devil's Backbone & Pan's Labyrinth. These are Essential Viewing for any fans
and should be watched prior to Del Toro's English language
films because they are so much better!

A Kubrick Classic in stunning 4K !
on November 19, 2020
Posted by: Thanatos138
Verified Purchase:Yes
What more can be said about
2001 : A Space Odyssey which hasn't already been either written or spoken? Stanley Kubrick co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clark and like in all of his films, his use of camera work, lighting and visual effects were groundbreaking for their time. The use of Strauss'
"On The Blue Danube" waltz being played during several of the outer space scenes was a stroke of genius. The film itself
asks the question of who or what is out there among the stars beside mankind? The film also touches on the topic of Man VS. Machine, something that was way ahead of it's time. The 4K Scan is simply beautiful to look at. The Audio & Soundtrack are both much better than the previous ones that came on the Blu-ray. This is a great film, a Must Have for any film buffs and an Essential for all Science Fiction fans!

Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho in 4K !
on November 19, 2020
Posted by: Thanatos138
Verified Purchase:Yes
Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho was released in 1960. It was quite
controversial for it's time particularly for the famous
" Shower Scene " . The film's budget was much smaller than Hitchcock's previous hit,
" North By Northwest " .
It stars Janet Leigh and
Anthony Perkins. It's considered by many film critics and film scholars all over the world to be an All Time Classic, like many other Hitchcock films. The picture in 4K looks much better than the Blu-ray version and the soundtrack is also superior. This is a must own for any Alfred Hitchcock fan or any film buffs.

This release contains every episode from the anime series Paranoia Agent. When a boy attacks a series of seemingly unconnected victims with a golden baseball bat, detectives open an investigation. But as the experts attempt to find a link between the victims, the detectives discover that the victims' lives have somehow improved.

A Psychological Mystery Thriller from Satoshi Kon.
on November 19, 2020
Posted by: Thanatos138
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a mystery miniseries from the late, great Satoshi Kon. The man who directed the Horror-Thriller Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, Paprika & others. I don't want to give away any spoilers, so I'll just describe it as a Psychological
Thriller that links each story from episode to episode. It can easily be binge watched but it's also very gratifying to go back & to rewatch the series. You'll notice things upon the second viewing that you might have missed previously. This is a Great Series! I rarely give 5 stars to any of my reviews but in some cases such as this, an exception is made. I give this my Highest Possible Recomidation!

Thirty years has passed since the appearance of the Burnish, a race of flame-wielding mutant beings who destroyed half of the world with fire. When a new group of aggressive mutants calling themselves Mad Burnish appears, the epic battle between Galo Thymos, a new member of the anti-Burnish rescue team Burning Rescue, and Lio Fotia, the leader of Mad Burnish, begins.

The first Feature Film directed by Hiroyuki Imaish
on September 19, 2020
Posted by: Thanatos138
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're a fan of Gurren Laggan or Studio Trigger, chances are pretty good that you'll enjoy this film. First, a little history. Hiroyuki Imaishi once worked with many other talented people at Gainax, the studio best known for Neon Genesis Evangelion. In 1995, Hiroyuki Imaishi began his career at Gainax, working as a Key Animator on Evangelion. In 2011, he and others from Gainax decided to form their own Animation company, Studio Trigger. In under a decade, they've produced many popular shows. A few examples: Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia and SSSS. Gridman. If you enjoy any of those, you'll enjoy this film. Highly Recommend.

An Anime Classic gets the 4k treatment
on September 19, 2020
Posted by: Thanatos138
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm old enough to have already owned this first on Vhs, then DVD, Blu-ray and now finally on 4k. This was first released on 4k in Japan and this Lion's Gate release is not taken from the Japanese scan. I have not seen that release, so I can't comment on which is best but I can say that this new 4k is much better than the previous Blu-ray. The picture is light years ahead of the Blu-ray and the audio is much better as well. It features a new Commentary Track along with some other Special Features available here for the first time.

The year is 2030 and six years have passed since the end of World War IV. Influxes of refugees are allowed into Japan to fill the labor gaps of the growing economy. Terrorist cells identifying themselves as the Individual Eleven have begun a series of ultranationalist attacks targeting refugee camps, foreign consulates and even the Prime Minister. A charismatic new leader rises amongst the refugee's resistance movement, a former memeber of the Individual Eleven. Simultaneously a top member of the Cabinet Intelligence Agency contacts Section 9 with shocking revelations and unknown ambitions regarding the current state of affairs.

An 80's Classic on Blu-ray
on September 1, 2020
Posted by: Thanatos138
Verified Purchase:Yes
I grew up in the 1980s and I was a big comic book collector and a big fan of animation. I couldn't see this in the movie theatre because it was rated R, so I had to wait until it was available on Vhs. This new Blu-ray looks absolutely terrific! It's a very funny film and I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of animation.
