The costumes are magnificent and they wear them more than once to give the Granthams and Crowleys more of a reality.
I think he does a wonderful job as Mr. Darcy and Jennifer Ehle does a wonderful job as Miss Elizabeth Bennet .
The movie ending was great .
I have now watched the entire nine season run of "The X-Files" from start to finish on DVD and my primary reaction to the final season was that it was not Mulder that I missed for most of these last 20 episodes but Scully.
The tributes (forced to participate contestants) must contend with each other, the weather and days in a technologically controlled battlefield in which the goal is to try and survive while killing all others .
There really is nothing funning about the Holocost .
The acting was so cheesy , the story line was lacking, the effects were poor, there were a ton of "3D" effects that were waaay over the top (we did not watch it in 3D--because we hate 3D--so it was even worse because of that).
The sets are spectucular, the costumes are so authentic I lose myself and think they are really from that period instead of a dramatization.
The acting was very good .
The sound quality isn't as good , and I noticed a few drop outs here and there, but considering the age and scarcity of the material, I think the Roan Group did and excellent job in restoring this fine film.
"Open Water" is a low-budget, mildly thrilling shark flick .
The acting was overdone .
a GOOD movie about Young adults being forced to kill other young adults watch Battle Royale.
The sound is crisp and clear and during the battle scenes is very impressive .
Acting was tremendous .
Season two is just getting on my nerves !
This is a dark film in all senses of the word with very few likeable characters .
the suspense was great .
The suspense slowly builds up because we don't know what kind of movie we are in for .
The costumes and staging are superb , and the direction is sensitive to the subject matter.
The direction by Ang Lee is flawless in almost every frame .I was angered by the film for not giving a clear explaination for one of the character's death.
From the start, Episode 1 had a lot going against it .
When they get there they discover...a load of confusing, muddled nonsense that is far from frightening and is only just barely above mildly interesting .Alien was populated with 7 single or double-syllabled characters that felt real and authentic thanks to their quiet interactions and dialogue.
This movie was fantastic !
In confronting the issue of drug addiction , Aronosky (who co-wrote the screenplay with Hubert Selby Jr.) has chosen to tell two stories that, although they run along basically parallel tracks for most of the film's duration, do occasionally intersect.
I can understand why everyone would want this to succeed, but there are three reasons why it didn't.
Her performance is perfect , and Christina Ricci as her selfish, lesibian lover gives a performance that is also well worth watching.
Brian De Palma's Body Double is an underrated gem of a suspense /thriller.
The costumes and sets are gorgeous , and it's fun to watch if only for that reason.
The script was poor and the storyline didn't make sense.
The picture quality and sound are fantastic , and I didn't find any green tint in the movies.
The cast is in top notch performance, the special effects are fantastic but not overwhelms the movie, God, everything is fantastic here .
Greatest movie from Disney since the Lion King! The plot is great and the two princess are extremely lovable !
Some of the plot was a bit disappointing .
the writers kept it a little too big , basically made both villains nearly invinsible, then at the end gave us a laughable end-of-villian finish.
Bought this for my wife as a chick flick .
Her performance is outstanding .
The acting is stellar , in particular Portman and Owen (both nominated for Academy Awards) as the initial foils for their partners Law and Roberts, respectively.
And - By the way - I am a Christian (NOT Catholic) who was brought up Unitarian .
It's a very interesting and important scene in the movie and that's why I like it.
Couples are central to BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER throughout its seven-year run, so how might one pair the seasons themselves?If Seasons One and Two of BUFFY are Origin Years-- establishing the show's mythos in Season One , then stretching and deepening them in year Two-- then Seasons Three and Four are definitely Years of Consolidation, playing with, clarifying and reorganizing the show's fictional universe and strengthening the bond between show and viewer before diving into the darker, riskier events of Seasons Five and Six (which we might call Years of Daring and Yearning).
But seeing as the studio gave Bryan Singer all the money in the world, plenty of time, and quite a bit of creative control and artistic license (I cannot imagine that DC comics was eager to have Superman portrayed as a deadbeat dad!), there should be more than just a few good moments .
The acting was amazing .
The animation is very special and in 3D it is wow.
The acting was much better, the script was emotional , but not hokey.
In order to produce a magnificent achievement for the paying customers, the movie must remain true (to an extent) to the books created by J.K. Rowling and the whimsy and fantasy of those tales must remain no matter the cost .
Just make sure you give it some room, and wide-screen DVD with which to do it.
Most notably , the film also introduces the Minions - Gru's short, yellow workers that speak gibberish and often find themselves engaging in an endless amount of comical hijinks.
The violence and gore are severe and off -putting, which is a shame because the movie is such an effective suspense thriller beyond these moments that people who are looking for nerve-frying suspense of a classic nature, but can't stomach the carnage will be missing out.
This is a must see film, Rachel Weisz and Ralph Fiennes are excellent in this and the film is very well written.
I give it two stars, let me give 5 stars to the cast - incredible acting , especially from Russel Crowe.
a superb storyline ), into a spectacular and spooky film.
Despite some problems with the middle sections, When a Stranger Calls is a highly suspenseful and very creepy movie with excellent performances.
But the shockingly real performances of the three starlets was amazing .
I'm generally not a big fan of this sort of epic-level drama, but the actors pulled off the dramatic ending well , and I found it very moving.
The acting is flat and one-dimensional because characters aren't' written with any depth.
The special effects are excellent as is the underwater adventure .The droids are enemies of the Republic, who want to change it and take it over; thereby, enslaving its inhabitants.
His performance was moving and emotional , a flawless piece of art.
All I can say, it was fantastic .
Ofelia's father has been killed in the Spanish Civil War and her desperate mother marries the cruel Vidal, played by Sergi López, one of Franco's captains, who (as has been written repeatedly) joins the screen's pre-eminent villains.
This movie really didn't pay any homage to old Vampire/Werewolf mythology, it didn't really have much action , and the Romeo & Juliet thing is not really expressed and there's only one kiss between the two main people.
Thank goodness however the entire movie was not filmed using this technique !
The image of the featureless, pasty- white mask hovering above a dark set of clothes is unnerving, and the early sightings of him in Haddenfield are amazingly effective-even when you know he is there, it is sometimes difficult to spot him.
Though Peter Jackson had always claimed that the 208 minute (roughly equal to "Seven Samurai" in length) DVD version of "Lord of the Rings'" first installment was not a director's cut, its vast superiority to the shortened theatrical release becomes clear immediately.
The truth is what makes this movie such a gem is that it doesn't need to come out and smack you in the head with the type of dull, predicatable nonesense like most movies do these days.
Each actor has had or currently owns a major role in a television/movie .
I am a long time fan of the web head and was not sure if the movie would do the long time comic hero justice but it did in a huge way.
As for the controversy as to whether this film is actually Kubrick's final cut , it is.
Like the series and this season was a good follow up to the first.
Bale's performance is superb and I think it's the best of his career. Jackman is also very convincing and the supporting cast is flawless. I'm always impressed by Rebecca Hall, but Bowie's cameo as Tesla was a revelation .
***CONTAINS SPOILERS***A historical costume drama with some powerful performances, THE DUCHESS is the study of The Duchess of Devonshire and her battles with The Duke during their strained marriage.
So what if the story isn't very original ?
The 3 seasons have been wonderful .
We're talking about a film here with an uneventful plot and characters completely void of depth .
In particular, kudos to the quality of the sound reproduction, which I've found to be excellent whether pushed through a 5.1 home theater or stereo headphones .
Unfortunately, the dialogue is clunky when the characters talk to one another as well.
Actually, " Dennis the Menace" is probably the better movie, in retrospect.I just saw "Revenge of the Sith" last night, and it reminded me how awful "Attack of the Clones" truly is; not because "Sith" is a good movie, but because it was pretty much on the same level.
Thus the so-called transformation into Darth Vader is more like the flipping of a switch - more binary than analog.
Such is the case with the cornball science fantasy movie "Galaxy Quest.""Galaxy
Despite the fact that it is an older movie and shot primarily in lowlight conditions, details are sharp, colors are vibrant and blacks are deep .
Not saying that "The Ring" is either superior or inferior, but it stayed very truthful to the original material it was based on , too truthful.
It is really a film about timeless qualities now hopelessly out of fashion: things like duty, honour, loyalty, friendship, mutual reliance and the questing spirit.
In it you get a look at the premier, at part of Emmy Rossum's screen test, the fun of trying to understand Jennifer Ellison's (Meg) accent, Patrick Wilson singing opera in sport pants, the Mask of the Red Death swigging from a water bottle, plus a look at the outrageously elaborate costumes and what the chandelier falling looked like in real life.
Russell Crowe's performance is absolutely brilliant .
I am a Spiderman fan from way back .
This movie is not funny at all .
The ending was absolutely awesome , it makes the experience not so empty and wasted.
Ok, so all these people are saying the film isn't funny .
Action is not what you would expect from Rogen, and although he handles it well, especially in the last 30 minutes, the action packed ending does run a bit long. Overall, "Pineapple Express" delivers what it promises: a funny stoner comedy.
The sets and costumes were spectacular without a doubt .But unlike THE TUDORS, THE BORGIAS series still lacked "something".
It was like they were trying to cram as much of the book in as possible , resulting in drawn out stories.
The deleted scenes are very funny and I think a lot of them should have been retained in the first cut.
I was extremely skeptical at first, not wanting to get sucked into a fad, but the books and movie(s) are genuinely good, with great actors and superb visual effects. Definitely recommend.
This is one of the cutest , funniest sports/girl power/rousing comedy films I have seen in a while!
The story is sadly lame and contrived .
One of the things that I enjoy most about the Coen brothers' movies is that they both understand their art form: movies are primarily visual works of art .
...no real gore, no bad language to express how they were really feeling and half the story and edge gone due to editing .
they fight in these awesome battles to the death, and some of the battle scenes and who dies and how is surprising.overall, the movie is awesome, and the ending is clever too , which leads to a possible AVP 2.
This movie showcases the true talent Christopher Nolan posses.
The new crew is excellent and the story is good , although it brings back a couple of old enemies in this new reality that skirts off the true nature of their reality and did not explore it suffiently in my opinion.. I will not tell you who this is referring to.
The individual performances by the actors were stellar in every way .
Without being over the top, his performance is amazing .
i received this yesterday on blu-ray and was VERY impresssed ... for what i paid ($[...] with free shipping), it was an AMAZING deal.
comes with lots of bonus features too. The picture looks great!!! Thank you!
The acting was good and all players did their jobs well but I was a bit put off by the smirking 'we're so smart and hip attitude' of the movie.
This film is almost flawless - the acting, the sets, the script, the special effects, the originality.
Rather than describe the remainder of the story in detail , I will say, instead, that the director does not allow the project to make any fatal mistakes.
I recommend this movie to those who like a good laugh .
It's gorgeous, the sets are gorgeous, the costumes are gorgeous , and the so are the actors.
The only bright spot in the movie was that Jar Jar Binks was reduced to cameo performance .
The acting and dialogue is not good either .
First off, you people just can not accept a new world of Star Wars.
Never had a "Star Wars"-film a greater emotional impact."The Phantom Menace" is definetly not on par with that film, nor has it the originality of "A New Hope", but still I liked this film a lot. I actually found it better than "Return Of The Jedi". Even those who dispised the movie must acknowledge that it has its merits. The special effects are fantastic, and in contrast to other films with superior FX , they are also highly imaginative because they create entire worlds of their own.
This is a truly terrific caper movie, one that works well by both showcasing the emerging star power of both Donnie Wahlberg and Charlize Theron and also having a terrific storyline .
This movie was very depressing , had me choked up half the time, crying, and upset that there is just too much bad things that happen........
Picture and sound are awesome .The only thing is that the packaging could have been a little better.
And enough about the price drop .
This film presents a very good and deep insight into the world of drug addiction .
I don't think it would have worked if they had done a serious , soapy type movie.
The sound also got a boost from the original mono track to stero , and the special features have me intrigued.
The acting is superb .
The first season was a great start to the show , the second season was amazing, and the third season somehow managed to become even better.
The script is appalling, the acting non-existant (everyone just stands around saying their lines, without any feeling or emotion, looking like they desparately want to know what's happening on that green-screen behind them), and the computer generated FX so overwhelming that its like having spectacular fireworks let off in your face for 2 hours ...
The magic, the twists were all great .
After a horrid third film and a suprising fourth , superman returns for a fifth film.
It proves I was wrong !
Burlesque was AMAZING! I fell in love this the movie! Dancing, singing, storyline, acting , directing the whole set up was wonderful.
The script was terrible. The direction was terrible. The only reason I can come up with for the film's popularity among so many Superman fans is that they have been so hungry for a film that they would have liked almost anything. I give it 2 stars for at least trying to make Superman relevant again.The thing to remember is that even though Superman has Kryptonian abilities, his personality is 100% human. He was raised since infancy on a farm in Kansas. He might feel different, but at heart he is a small town American and this film completely missed that. In focusing on the 'alien among us' angle, they gutted Superman's personality that was so well portrayed by Christopher Reeve and Brandon Routh. The Clark Kent we have all come to know and love through the years was completely missing. There were so many elements of the plot that made no sense. There was CGI overkill. Superman Returns had some plot problems, and could have put Superman in a few more action scenes, but overall that movie was far more faithful to the origins of the Superman character.The fact that Avengers was so successful should prove that a superhero movie doesn't have to copy The Dark Knight to be a hit. A superhero movie can be light, it can be funny, it can be human, and still be a fantastic movie. I have nothing to say about the relationship of this movie to recent comic book adaptations or graphic novels. As a movie, it is no better than all the other CGI-fests out there with tons of explosions and destruction. Superman is supposed to be special.
The acting is unbelievable , amazing, and very convincing.
The Rock and Flair put on great performances. Surprising ending .
In 20 minutes , Jillian gets me going and sweating and back in shape.
Acting wise the movie is poor , Eric Bana's accent is bad considering how poor his fellow Aussies do with accents thats saying alot.
This is the most perverted, disorganized movie I ever saw.
Sound,video, avengers, Marvel Magic .
The performances given by Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellwegger, Queen Latifah and Richard Gere are perfect! With Catherine standing out a little bit more, because of her musical background (she deserved the Oscar).
The book was entertaining and full of facts and images hard to duplicate in a movie.
the performances were outstanding and extremely believable, Ellen Burstyn should have recieved that Oscar, she was unbelievable....
"Star Trek Into Darkness" is excellent !
This ending should have been King's ending and I usually never say that about a printed piece of work from an author ; but here I think we have a better ending in the movie, rather than on paper.
The stories so fun and exciting and fresh compared to the turgid retreads of modern "Trek".
I'm hardly a prude, I celebrate both nudity and sexuality in all cinematic shapes and sizes and varieties .... and I don't condemn violence in film if it makes a point or moves along a story or a character's development... and I sincerely applaud directors who aren't afraid to go to the edge.
It was heart-warming and wonderful, sad and depressing , silly and did I say wonderful.
This show is addictive .
Maybe not exceptional, but I found the movie to be fairly true to the book .
People usually act this way when they're discussing politics or religion .
The actors are all fine , with Bryan Cranston and the six diplomatic escapees-in-hiding turning in particularly excellent performances.
When her acting career fizzled , after making her less than memorable acting debut in her father's film "Godfather III", Sophia Coppola apparently turned her hand to directing and was let loose upon an unsuspecting public.
Courageous is the story of four policemen who are also after a time, four brothers in the Lord.
Picture and sound were crystal clear and the disc had more special features than Disney DVDs I've bought in the past.
Frank Sinatra gives a moving and powerful performance as he frantically tries to beat the clock in what is to be,unknown until the very end,the assassination of the presidential candidate, and the insertion of a puppet senator controlled(unknowingly) by Communists in his place.
The characters are not well established from beginning to end -- so you honestly don't care whether they live or die.
Liam Neeson is great and the story itself is very poignant .
The movie is very violent and has some sexual content so be warned .
The Dark Knight is the sequel to director Christopher Nolan's outstanding and uplifting Batman Begins.
