Futuristic fantasy
on June 26, 2019
Posted by: Critic54
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not a compelling storyline here----a bit contrived at times, but visually entertaining. Mostly unknown actors (except Hugo Weaving) deliver competent performances in a futuristic fantasy with an old theme of the little guys battling the more powerful evil.....in cities that are constantly on the move to find and take resources from others. The script seems a bit lost at times. I felt overall that it borrowed from other movies (Star Wars) to fill in the gaps.

Lana Turner at her best
on June 26, 2019
Posted by: Critic54
Verified Purchase:Yes
Very well done movie from the '40's, Lana Turner and Donna Reed play sisters whose life long journey don't end up where they begin. Wonderful movie with a very satisfying ending. If oldie B&W films are your thing---this is a really good one!

Excellent movies at a great price
on June 26, 2019
Posted by: Critic54
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good quality transfers and audio for both these movies, and the price was great for getting both. Must see films with Cinderella Man being my favorite----true story of James Braddock who had a "Cinderella" story comeback to take the world boxing title. Fantastic film! Ron Howard directs the story of "A Beautiful Mind" and delivers a captivating story. Russell Crowe is superb in both title roles.

High expectations
on June 15, 2019
Posted by: Critic54
Verified Purchase:Yes
With 10 Academy Award nominations, I was expecting a bit more from this film. Bale and Cooper go to the extremes in pushing their acting skills, but Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence steal the show here. Disappointed to see DeNiro show up as the mob guy---it's become too cliched---tired of him. Based on true events in the 70's, an entertaining movie that falls short of being really good.

Rosamund Pike shines!
on June 15, 2019
Posted by: Critic54
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent thriller that has you guessing from the start; playing detective and surprised when the blanks begin to fill in. Great performance from Rosamund Pike as the "missing" woman, and Ben Affleck has a solid performance also. I personally thought the ending could have been better written, but it still shines as an overall good movie. Definitely recommended viewing.

Pleasantly surprised by this one. Great CGI and special effects throughout, and quite visually stunning. Good performance turned in by Jason Momoa and Amber Heard, and Nicole Kidman is perfect as the Queen of Atlantis. Thoroughly enjoyable with a dual plot taking place in order to set up the sequel that's obviously coming. Fun movie!

One of my favorite purchases in the last couple of years, this move is superb through and through. Excellent cast and acting, top notch directing from Scotsman David McKenzie, and a catchy and realistic story set in present day era and west Texas locale. Two brothers (Chris Pine and Ben Foster---both superb) pull off an old style string of bank robberies with a twist, and 2 Texas Rangers (Jeff Bridges in one of his best roles) are determined to bring them to justice. Fantastic story and ending, I highly recommend this one!

Spike Lee does Quentin Tarentino
on June 7, 2019
Posted by: Critic54
from Tucson, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
A twisted story of revenge and hatred well acted by Josh Brolin and directed by Spike Lee in the style of Quentin Tarentino. Elizabeth Olsen gives a sizzling performance in this thriller/action packed tale that has a real twist of an ending---like a punch in the gut! Hard hitting---not for the moderate viewer, as this one pulls no punches.

Enjoyable story
on June 7, 2019
Posted by: Critic54
from Tucson, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
A heartbreaking love story set in Britain after the fall of the Roman empire. An orphaned boy taken in by the man destined to unite the splintered tribes of Britain as their king, falls in love with the daughter of the Irish king, but doesn't realize who she actually is until it is too late and hearts and destinies are set on a course of conflict and destruction. Good viewing, well acted by James Franco and Sylvia Miles, plus an early role for Henry Cavill (future Superman star) and David O'Hara as the Irish king.
