Mel Brooks' funniest film since Blazing Saddles
on April 9, 2020
Posted by: EDrummerboyMoviebuff
Verified Purchase:Yes
Want a good time laughing at medieval buffoonery? This is one of my favorites by Mel (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs are other favorites) that I go to for a good uplifting humor filled escape from reality. 5.1 DTS MA sounds excellent.

A wild and surrealistic comic book ride
on April 9, 2020
Posted by: EDrummerboyMoviebuff
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this blu ray 3d and 2d for $6.00 + tax and was shockingly surprised at how well done this film really is. Karl Urban is a favorite actor of mine and he is great as Dredd, and the rest of the cast is just as good. The slo-mo scenes are so beautiful and mesmerizing, especially in 3d, you can't take your eyes off of the screen. DTS MA 7.1 sound is ear candy to go with visuals. An excellent value for a 3d film that doesn't disappoint.

A sequel worthy of highest praise
on February 13, 2020
Posted by: EDrummerboyMoviebuff
Verified Purchase:Yes
This film has a creepiness factor that is not found in most current offerings. I saw this film when it was at the theater and even with morons to the right of me on their smart phone and another idiot getting a phone call in the row in front me, this film still gave me a most enjoyable creepout that I haven't experienced since Silence of the Lambs. All performances are brilliant and the recreation of the Overlook in disrepair was spot on. Many things to look for in almost every scene from start to finish. Old favorites from The Shining are here. The eerie but beautiful Wendy Carlos score is also here. The "feel" of the first film as well as Stanley Kubric's film style are also here. This blu ray has atmos sound (excellent), great video quality and lots of extras. See if you recognize who plays Jack Torrance without help from the credits or extras...I was floored! Great film. Oh, my days of going to the theater are way over. Shame on all of you who ruin any film (or any performance) with your addiction to the evil electronic zombifiers known as Smart? phones!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent film for all
on January 31, 2020
Posted by: EDrummerboyMoviebuff
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is another film that I had not seen until recently and it is absolutely excellent. If you haven't seen it, please get a copy and watch. There are a lot of great performances in this film, especially Denzel, and a lot of good messages in this story based on true life.

Emotionally uplifting & fulfilling
on January 31, 2020
Posted by: EDrummerboyMoviebuff
Verified Purchase:Yes
How many times have you ever seen a film and realize that it really has a strong emotional grip on you and your really loving it? This is a film with laughs and tears, anger and love, hope and hopelessness, and most of all a very important message to every one. I know most of you have already seen this film, but until recently I had not. I heard high praise for this film from others and now I join in that voice to tell all who haven't seen this film to do you and your heart a huge favor and SEE THIS FILM!

A good tale of 1890's hatred & forgiveness
on January 14, 2020
Posted by: EDrummerboyMoviebuff
Verified Purchase:Yes
The brutality of the western territories is part of this films message, the other is the growth of the human spirit to forgive and reconcile with those who were enemies not long before. Christian Bale, Wes Studi, Rosamund Pike, Adam Beach and others deliver great performances in a film that, while a little slow for my taste, delivers good messages among the insanity brought on by others.

Great musical bio pic of Elton John
on January 14, 2020
Posted by: EDrummerboyMoviebuff
Verified Purchase:Yes
This film reveals many personal things about Elton which I was not aware of and makes me respect him even more. Taron Egerton received the Golden Globe for his portrayal of Elton (deservedly so), but was snubbed by the Academy. Lots of Elton's music thru out the film as many break into song as his story is told. Lots of extras on blu ray.

Bohemian Rhapsody is an enthralling celebration of Queen, their music, and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied stereotypes and convention to become one of history's most beloved entertainers. Following Queen's meteoric rise, their revolutionary sound and Freddie's solo career, the film also chronicles the band's reunion, and one of the greatest performances in rock history.

Perfect bio pic of Mercury & Queen
on January 14, 2020
Posted by: EDrummerboyMoviebuff
Verified Purchase:Yes
At last, the Awards shows and I agree that a film is worthy of the accolades it has received. Rami Malek becomes Freddie Mercury. The rest of the cast do exceptionally well in their roles as well. The Music is Queen at their best and meticulously performed by the actors (lipsinced I'm sure). The blu ray has many extras.

A praise worthy remake of Classic
on January 14, 2020
Posted by: EDrummerboyMoviebuff
Verified Purchase:Yes
In some respects not as good as original, in other respects it is far superior. I always found the original to be a tad boring in parts, but this version is full of action and twists on the storyline that make it fresh viewing. Gort in the original was awesome back in the 50's but this newer Gort is more menacing and a lot larger. Keanu Reeves is great as Klaatu.

What are the special features and is there a director's cut available?

There are three special features; From shining to sleep, the making of Doctor Sleep, and Return to the Overlook. The blu ray does include the Director's Cut. Seen both and they are both excellent. More scenes of creepiness in D.C. I do not know what the steelbook has to offer or its availability.
