Terror taking flight
on July 29, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
Sort of a proto-zombie flick, from the panic of the townsfolk to the isolation at the house with the horde banging at the door, with recognizable tropes of other later classics peppered throughout, and images that surely were mind-blowing shockers for a 1963 audience. The 4K remastering brings out the best and worst of the effects of the time. This was a good blind-buy.

Not a dream - this movie is awesome!

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's as macho and loony toons violent as you'd expect from the team of Schwarzenegger and Verhoeven, and smart enough that you can't quite take everything happening at face value. The 4K remaster looks mighty nice too.

Guy Ritchie's tale of crisscrossing boxers, gamblers, gangsters, and other assorted thieves is as manic and quotable as ever, overflowing with style, and looking dang good in 4K.

Can't stay quiet on how good this is
on July 29, 2021
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
Another impressive directorial effort from Krasinski, and a banger of a sequel to his surprise horror gem. Some of the new material in expanding this alien-infested world beyond the Abbott farm feels stock, unfortunately, and the ending is almost comically abrupt, but Part II never merely takes the "bigger is better" approach at the expense of the character interplay and tension-fueled staging that made the first work so well.

With Hayao Miyazaki merely a co-writer this time out, the Ghibli magic-works produces a gorgeous and heartfelt fantasy based on the novel The Borrowers, selling a stunning sense of scale between the average humans and their tiny houseguests, as well as a beautiful burgeoning friendships between the leads of both parties, with an ethereal score and songs and mesmerizing backdrops to dazzle the ears and eyes.

Bidding farewell to feature moviemaking, acclaimed Japanese writer/director Hayao Miyazaki delivers a beauteous, tender animated film adapted from his manga biography of engineer and World War II aircraft designer Jiro Horikoshi. The partly fictionalized story follows Horikoshi from boyhood to marriage, to his work designing war machines and a heart-wrenching personal loss. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, and Stanley Tucci provide voices. 127 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks Japanese, English; Subtitles English, French; featurette; theatrical trailers; TV spots; storyboards; bonus Inch10 Years with Hayao MiyazakiInch episode; more. In Japanese with English subtitles/Dubbed in English. Two-disc set.

A moving fictionalized tribute to an aviation pioneer and simultaneously the epitome of Miyazaki's filmography with its particular mix of drama and whimsy, powered by another impressive English dub.

Blade gets a decent sharpening
on July 9, 2021
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not the most impressive 4K upgrade (and Ultra HD certainly does the late-90s CG effects no favors), but none of the film's bite has diminished over all this time - it's as full of style and swagger as it is full of bloodshed.

Classically epic
on July 9, 2021
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's easy to see why Spartacus is so influential and considered "genre-defining" - it's as grandiose and melodramatic as one could expect an event film of yesteryear can be. It's also the least Kubrickian of Kubrick's works I've so far enjoyed; one can spot his visual signature in certain set designs and shot compositions, otherwise it plays far more like the work of Cecil B. DeMille than the director of Dr. Strangelove or 2001. The restoration, without hyperbole, is PRISTINE.

Dazzlingly thoughtful science-fiction
on July 9, 2021
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
ARRIVAL is the kind of beautiful, intelligent sci-fi that at a key point in the story makes you reevaluate everything you have so far witnessed and untangle a web you never even realized you were caught in. In its themes on the importance of communication, integrated effort, and what we perceive as the flow of time, it also serves as a stark, not to mention timely reminder to view history as interconnected threads from our present reaching both backward and forward.

Justice served in 4K
on July 9, 2021
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
It wasn't until I watched Dredd in Ultra HD that I really understood how weird the colors and clarity on the previous Blu-ray release were. While some sections are still (perhaps intentionally) scratchy, the 4K edition makes the film pop so much more it's a wonder a few bullets didn't zip straight out of my TV.
