Question: How would you compare the plot to those of Spielberg's  dinosaurs and Ridley Scott's aliens?

In Batman Begins, director Christopher Nolan gave us the most realistic and, at the same time, the most faithful-to-comic-book representation of Batman yet - or of any comic book hero, for that matter (at least until Iron Man). It is a great story of origins, as well as of character. The film is full of quotes that tell you who Batman is and what he is about: such as Alfred's "Why do we fall - so we can learn to pick ourselves up;" or Rachel's "It's not who you are underneath - it's what you do that defines you," which Batman later repeats about himself; or Batman's "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you," which he speaks to Liam Neeson's character right before his demise. Batman Begins is a well-defined story about a well-defined character that is both uplifting and meaningful.I also think Christian Bale is the definitive Batman. Batman is about the costume, the "muscle," the eyes, the mouth and the voice. Christian Bale has all of that. Plus, he makes a great Bruce Wayne and has the best Alfred you could possibly ask for - Michael Caine; the perfect Rachel to be sweet on - Katie Holmes; a terrific Jim Gordon to work with - Gary Oldman; and the added character of Lucius Fox, played wonderfully by Morgan Freeman. Wayne Manor and the Batcave are both perfect. Only the Batmobile may disappoint some die-hard fans because it doesn't LOOK like the Batmobile - but it is fun. You've got the perfect nemesis in Liam Neeson, and the perfect Scarecrow in Cillian Murphy. Everything is perfect. I gave the film 5 out of 5 stars.Now enter The Dark Knight.Why is it that directors and producers think Batman is about the villains - it's not. They are merely the foils off which Batman plays. Tim Burton's series featured one villain in the first film - the Joker, played wonderfully by Jack Nicholson. Then he started stacking villains and super heroes, so that, by the end of the series, there was very little room left for Batman. In the fourth film, Batman And Robin, for which Burton was not actually responsible - he was canned as director after Batman Returns, and as producer after Batman Forever - there was Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Batman, Robin, Batgirl, and a host of others. Dark Knight has the Joker and Two-Face, and that's one too many, because it adds an additional 45 minutes to the film that kills the momentum and has the audience squirming in their seats. Dark Knight should just have been about Batman and his attempts to defeat the Joker.The Joker is supposed to be funny, in a warped sort of way. In Dark Knight, he is not, nor does he even try to be. So, really, it is not the Joker but a Joker-like character that appears in the film. Since Nolan wrote the script, he can be blamed for that. He doesn't seem to understand the Joker. Heath Ledger is playing a psychopath wearing bad make-up. That is not who the Joker is. Jack Nicholson had a far better take on the Joker, more reflective of the DC Comics character.Heath Ledger was not a great actor. But the fact that he is dead, and died at the end of this filming - probably because of the strain placed on him playing the Joker - makes him something of a curiosity. That, in my opinion, is the only reason Dark Knight is doing as well as it is at the box office and with critics. Once the DVD comes out, I seriously doubt if it will sell as well as Batman Begins because, by then, people will have had time to think about it. It's not a great film. It is a good film, but it has some major problems - besides the length, which is almost three hours. What does Ledger actually do in Dark Knight that could be interpreted as acting other than lick his lips so many times that it becomes annoying? He's playing a crazy man. How hard can that be? Mel Gibson made a career out of playing crazy people. It's not that difficult. The Joker character should be more than that.Batman Begins was a straight-forward story about origins and character, and was full of memorable quotes. The Dark Knight is a convoluted story about what we can become if we focus too long on darkness. Duh. The only memorable quote from the film is Harvey Dent's comment that is later taken up by Batman: "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Dent actually fulfills his own prophecy, but Batman, luckily, does not. But it's an idiotic quote that history has easily disproved. And that is enough to hang a plot on? At the end of the film, when Two-Face has been stopped and Commissioner Gordon is trying to explain to his son, and to us, what has just happened, it is a tangled mess of meaningless ideas that is drowned out by the blaring music. Nolan dug himself into a hole and he could not, for the life of him, explain his way out of it.In addition to the convoluted story and web of empty themes, the actress playing Rachel (Maggie Gyllenhaal) is a poor and homely substitute for Katie Holmes. One wonders what Nolan and his casting director were thinking - even though she gets killed off, which is some consolation. I guess that opens the door for Catwoman. Everyone else in the cast is good; but Nolan gave them less to work with this time around than he did previously. Aaron Eckhart as District Attorney Harvey Dent, who later becomes Two-Face, is the second major focus of the film after the Joker. What a mistake to have two scene-stealers in the same film, so that Christian Bale as Batman is really playing third fiddle.Here's a clue as to how good Dark Knight is as compared to Batman Begins: when I came out of Batman Begins, people were excited and raving to each other about the film, like they had been to a wedding or a sporting event. I watched their faces as they came out of Dark Knight: they were solemn and quiet, like they had been to a funeral. THAT tells me a lot. Something died in Dark Knight. Was it the series? I'm not looking forward to the third film because I have a good idea what is going to happen. (I hear Bale has a three-film contract, so it is inevitable.) If Nolan's third film is as stacked against Batman as this one was, if it is as convoluted, if the themes are as meaningless and the story as empty, there will be no dead actor to draw people to the box office - hopefully. Nolan is going to have to do some soul-searching, in my opinion, if he is going to recapture the magic of Batman Begins.Waitsel Smith

Question: How much action does the movie have?

hello,for star trek fans, this blu ray is a step in the right direction.  early viewers of star trek the original series had lots of questions about some of the main characters.  this blu ray cleans up some of those mysteries.  the action is outstanding and somewhat believable, but after all, it is a sci fi movie.  the characters pick up where the other "new" star trek movie left off.  the chemistry is fantastic.  these characters are young enough to continue on for many more features to come.  thanks for clearing up some of the mysteries and character connections from the earlier series that left most of us just hanging and questioning.  this movie rocks and hopefully there will be more to come.

Question: Where we can see this movie?

WOW! This film is the best film I have ever seen on Earth! It was [way] better than Titanic (no offense Titanic fans)! Finally, I get to see what this film... or this true story looks like. First of all, this isn't a film. It was REAL!!! Big time! Now for my review. This movie opens up with Jesus (my favorite character... or person...) who is upset that he has twelve hours to live, because he is about to be crucified. Hours have passed and he was taken to the Romans. After they sentence to punish him, they start beating him up with chains, whips, and other dangerous weapons. I covered my eyes, because it was too painful. After they beat him up, they want to sentence him to death. So they have him carry a cross, while he is severely injured, but Mary thinks about the good times Jesus and her spend, including the close encounter part which really brought a tear in my eye. When we get there, they nailed Jesus on the cross and raise him up, but not before we see a flashback about his bread as his body and the drink as his blood. After he and his cross rose vertically, they knew the job was done, and everyone laughed at him. However, they clouds rolled in, and everyone knew what will happen: After Jesus prays to his father for the last time, he dies and he will be in heaven for sure. Rain starts to fall, causing a huge earthquake. Now, I think this is a little... flat, but the people who crucified Jesus NOW finally realized they did something wrong. They knew they did something bad to him, but it was too late for that. After they release Jesus from the cross, he is held by his mother, Mary. However, in April 3, the first Easter ever to be created, the covers he lied in when he died was empty, because Jesus is living with his father, but, before the credits roll, we see Jesus resurrected, proving that even though he died, he was still alive. I think the ending was so powerful, and, in my opinion, I think it was the best ending ever. It left my heart thumping for good. The only complaint was that there was no English dialouge, but there's not suppose to be an English dialouge, because it wasn't held in our region. I still think it makes sense to me. This movie is the best movie I've seen in Earth, and it should not be missed. GO SEE IT NOW!!! Well done Mel Gibson for giving us the gift of a powerful movie!!! And thank you Jesus for doing this for us. I will always love you!

Question: What do you think of this film regarding strengths and weaknesses in relation to European cinema?

A spectacular finale to the Matrix trilogy.  The humans in Zion mount their final defense against the machines while Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) travel to the city of the machines to broker peace and deal with the increasing menace of Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving).  The power of this movie lies in its incredible visuals.  The story and mythology of the Matrix has become quite convoluted and I never really was clear about the ultimate nature of Neo, the Matrix, or the final brief conversation between the Oracle (Mary Alice) and the Architect (Helmut Bakaitis).  Oh well, that leaves something for the next time I see these films.  If you're watching these movies to glean some sort of coherent philosophy about the nature of reality, as many of the films' detractors seem to have been doing, then I suppose you may be setting yourself up for disappointment.  If you're content to be treated to eye-popping effects and non-stop energy, you should have a good time.

Question: How is the adventures?

Very loosely based upon a short story by the great American author F. Scott Fitzgerald, THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON is a beautiful movie that is both personal in focus, but epic in scope. Set mostly in New Orleans, the film follows the life of a baby boy whose mother dies during his birth on Armistice Day, the end of WWI, November 11, 1918. The baby is so deformed that his father considers killing the child by dropping him in the river, but is stopped by a policeman. Startled the father runs through some streets and down and alley and leaves the baby on the steps of the first reasonable house he comes to. It turns out that the "house" is actually a retirement home for the elderly and the baby is found by the chief caretaker of the place, Queenie (Taraji P. Henson). Queenie is unable to have children of her own and decides to adopt the child because even if it does look like a devil, it is one of God's children, too. She names the baby Benjamin and in time he begins to grow. As time goes on it appears that instead of growing older Benjamin is growing younger. Such a curious case that Benjamin Button.THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON features some extraordinary acting. Brad Pitt gained most of the attention for his performance as Benjamin, but Pitt's performance is really overrated. I'm not saying he doesn't do a good job, but Pitt actually doesn't show up as Benjamin until about a third of the way through the movie. The reason Benjamin Button is so memorable as a character isn't because of Pitt's acting ability, but because of the makeup and special effects. The real star performers in the film are Cate Blanchett as Daisy and Taraji P. Henson as Queenie. Blanchett is one of the best actresses of the age and Henson proves that she is a rising star.The visual effects, set design, costumes, cinematography, and editing are all notable. In addition, the film has a wonderful score that augments the story that is told. This is the rare movie where all the elements of the movie come together seamlessly as they help create the realistic and authentic world from the past in this fictional tale.Like most great works of art, there are a several meanings you can take away from THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. There are some who feel the movie is about death and how one goes about facing death. There is an underlying tone of sadness that pervades the picture. However, this sadness is underlying and isn't always prominent. I believe that instead of death and dying, THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON is, instead, about living. It is true that many characters in the movie die or are in various stages of death throughout the movie. But as Benjamin tells the audience from his own journal, death is just a part of life. All of us have to die, but it is up to us to choose whether to live or just exist and if we chose to live it is also our choice of how we will live. Death, disease, war, accidents, and lost love are all a part of life, but despite the sadness and sorrow life truly is beautiful and the world is full of wonder if we only choose to see it.It should be noted that there are two versions of THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON available on DVD. If you are looking for just the movie with no frills, you'll want to purchase the single disc version. However, if you're a bit of a cinemaphile or are a huge fan of the film, you'll probably want to check out the special two-disc version that has a ton of special features, including interviews, featurettes, and special coverage from the film's premiere.

Question: What is the quality of the animation?

This movie has ruined cape-wearing for me. Who knew they were such health hazards?In this Pixar movie, a family of undercover superheroes are living quietly in suburbia but are forced into action to save the world.Bob Paar was once Mr. Incredible, one of the world's greatest superheroes, known for saving lives and fighting evil.  He and his wife, Elastigirl, have been ordered to give up their superhero careers and are living in a witness protection program as if they are just your average humans.  Then Bob is approached about a top-secret assignment and everything changes.This story is well written and the characters are more human than a lot of characters who are actually human.  They have emotions and big hearts and they love, make sacrifices, discover truths about each other and themselves, suffer, and feel loss.  They also argue about which is the right turn on the freeway and deal with unruly kids who have strong wills and their own minds about how things should work.  The animation and visuals are glorious and stunning, and the story itself is inspiring, unbeliebably creative, and downright extraordinary.  I especially love the scene where dash is running with a layer of Violet's force field all around him, so he's like a gerbil in a plastic ball!My entire family loved this movie when it was in the theatre and we had to have the DVD as soon as possible (which is rare in this penny-pinching household) so we could experience it all over again.  See it, and you'll be entertained, get charged up, be inspired, and laugh and laugh and laugh.

Question: How is the action?

I loved the overall dark future theme of the movie. In a society that represses emotion to the point where it is criminal to show any. Bale is the ultimate enforcer of the law. The action sequences were great and I hope Bale continues with the genre since it suits his acting ability.

Question: Is this story about a cowboy?

***1/2In "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," the fourth installment in the perennially popular series by J. K. Rowling, the young wizards seem to have a bit more on their minds than just flying around on broomsticks and casting spells.  For along with puberty come activated hormones and a sudden burgeoning interest in the opposite sex.  This brings a nice grown-up dimension to a series that continues to enchant young and old alike with its constantly renewing creativity and imagination.All, however, is not puppy love romance and fancy dress balls, for there is still the serious business of wizardry to be done at Hogwarts Academy.  In this edition, Harry is compelled to take part in the Tri-Wizard Tournament, a sort of Olympic Games for magicians that is so intense that it has resulted in the deaths of a few of the participants in the past.  In order to win the prize of the goblet of fire, the contestant must face three challenges - a battle with dragons, an underwater rescue of some kidnapped friends, and a trip through an elaborate maze, with the goal in each case being the capturing of a mysterious giant egg.  At the base of the contest lies the evil Lord Voldemort (a creepy Ralph Fiennes), who is, as always, trying to eliminate young Mr. Potter by any means necessary.Although a bit long at two hours and thirty-six minutes, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" still manages to breathe new life into a franchise that should by all rights be turning pretty stale by now.  It does so partly through some really fine set pieces - i.e. the challenges - partly through the high flying imaginativeness of so much of the storyline, partly through the endearing relationships among the various characters, and partly through the performance of Daniel Radcliffe, who keeps Harry Potter lifelike, compelling and interesting as an everyman hero.  The tone is also remarkably dark in the later stretches of the film, as is befitting the advancing ages of the characters, although very young children might find some of the scenes a trifle disturbing, so be forewarned.Filled with beautiful images and dazzling special effects, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is another worthy addition to a series that is fast becoming a modern day classic in its own right.

Question: How is extra?

I have always loved the Back to the Future trilogy; I remember I first got it on VHS, then I bought the trilogy on DVD.

They have done a great job restoring my favorite movie trilogy.  And the extras on the discs are great.  I love seeing interviews with the producers, director and cast members including Michael J. Fox.If you're fan of the trilogy, buy this!  You won't regret it!

Question: How is the film?

The Fifth element has many flaws.  The creature effects, to put it bluntly, stink; the special effects are nothing extraordinary; the acting is quirky.  The plot seems ripped off from other films.  But this movie has  a certain appeal that many other similar films don't -- it is extremely  entertaining.The actors are visually engaging and appear to be having  lots of fun in their roles.  The movie is bright, colorful, and filled with  lots of strange if bizarre action sequences.  The music is odd but also  engaging, the humor works well with the movie's overall attitude.  I don't  expect this film to become a classic, but it's great fun that can be  watched over and over again...

Question: How is the chemistry?

Question: How is the story?

I recently received my copy of the Phantom Menace DVD and am quite pleased with it.  I must say that the sound quality of the DVD is really quite amazing.  The sound and picture quality and special effects alone are worth the price of the DVD.Despite the strengths of the special effects, I must say that the script and the acting are extremely weak at times during the movie.  For example, little 5-year-old Anakin Skywalker hits on the Princess at many times during the movie.  Those scenes are extremely unrealistic.  I just find it really hard to believe that little brat would flirt that much with the adult princess.Also, Anakin Skywalker simply cannot act.  That boy basically reads his lines without much emotion.  I think that the little kid from the 6th Sense would have played a much better Anakin Skywalker.What genius decided that it would be a good idea to have JarJar Binks in almost every scene?  I do understand that JarJar is supposed to provide comic relief.  However, JarJar is not funny at all - he's just really annoying.And what's the deal with the Jedi blood test?  Why could they do this at the time of the first episode, but not at any time during episodes 4-6?  Was the technology simply lost?  It doesn't make any sense to me.However, despite the script and acting weaknesses, the film is still much better than most of the movies churned out by Hollywood today.

Question: How is the quality of the music?

All of our families, young and old really enjoyed this movie.  The characters are interesting and fun and the music and singing was fabulous.  We will probably buy the DVD for this one.  I gave it 4 of 5 stars because of some character inconsistency that made for a more dramatic story but did not fit the character.

Question: What do you think about the interview?

In 1984, the first "Nightmare" was born.  After that, six sequels were made.  Now, they are all in one box set that is a must own.  I totally love it!  There are so many great things about these movies.  The dream sequences, the characters, and especially Freddy Krueger make them all enjoyable in their own way.  These movies are especially interesting because they don't consist of the same kind of usual killer.  Sure, there is Michael, Leatherface, and Jason, but who cares?  There are all the same.  Freddy is totally different.  He instead kills people in their dreams, which make for an intriguing storyline.  I never exactly admired Freddy Krueger.  I'll admit I was into Michael and Jason, but Freddy has more style.The first one comes off just right.  The whole plot made sense and made it scary to know that are dreams could be reality.  The later installments do not live up to the first, but some are very good and are directed by Renny Harlin (one of my favorite directors!), Rachel Talalay, and, of course, Wes Craven.  Everyone of these deserves a watch.A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) - The best one out of them all.  This one is where it all began and so did Johnny Depp's career.  Heather Langenkamp is great as Nancy.  Robert Englund was outstanding (and would be for the next 6 installments) as Fred Krueger, the dream stalker.  This has a good, creepy mood to it.  (10/10)  Rated R for strong violence/gore, language, and partial nudity.  "I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy!"A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 (1985) - This one was a bit weird.  First off, it forgot the idea of Freddy (Englund) being in your dreams and made him become a real person in life.  He begins to take over Jessie's (Mark Patton) body and starts killing people again.  Second, it didn't explain its characters that well.  It wasn't that scary, but it was entertaining.  Mark Patton wasn't that great.  He mostly just screamed like a girl the whole movie and wore dorky clothing.  (6/10)  Rated R for strong violence/gore, brief nudity, and some language.  "You've got the body, I've got the brain!"A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 (1987) - Forgot about the last movie and went on to a different plot.  There are teens at a psychiatric ward that are suffering from bad dreams about Fred Krueger (Englund, who is very creepy in this one).  Anyway, the kids start to die one by one.  They find out that they have special powers in their dreams and that they can maybe defeat Freddy for good.  The movie was good, but I didn't need to see that one kid turn into a wizard (a bit corny!).  There are some really cool scenes in this one.  (7/10)  Rated R for strong violence/gore, nudity, sexual situations, and language.  "Your big break in T.V.!"A Nightmare On Elm Street 4 (1988) - This is one of my personal favorites.  This one had everything from cool dream sequences to great characters, to vivid colors, and many more.  Too bad that they killed off the remaining Dream Warriors.  I felt really bad when Joey Crusel died off.  Anyway, the new characters are just as great, especially Lisa Wilcox as Alice.  Danny Hassel is also great as Dan.  This is one that you need to see.  (8/10)  Rated R for strong violence/gore, nudity, and language.  "How's this for a wet dream?!"A Nightmare On Elm Street 5 (1989) - My least favorite one.  It turned away from the colorful Part 4 and turned into a gothic and disgusting movie.  Lisa Wilcox returns and so does Danny Hassel.  He dies into the movie fairly quickly though.  Then were left with one-dimensional characters.  It was a pretty stupid plot and movie.  Alice (Wilcox) has an unborn child and it is killing her friends by letting Freddy get into its mind.  Don't bother!  (4/10)  Rated R for graphic sequences of violence, gore, and some language.  "Put the pedal to the medal, Dan!"Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991) - This also one of my favorites.  It is not a great movie, but it is very entertaining.  There is a great soundtrack also.  Freddy (Englund) is more goofy in this one.  It's pretty funny though.  The dream sequences are pretty nifty and there isn't a lot of gore (which is good).  A young Breckin Meyer plays a stoner, Spencer, and he's pretty funny.  The plot is about 4 teenagers and their psychiatric helper that go to Springwood, where all the children have died from Freddy.  Freddy begins to kill them off, but there is a link between Freddy and one of the 5 people.  This also sets up some back round on who Freddy is.  This movie is just for a good time.  You can also watch the ending in 3-D if you have the box set.  This is a movie you have to see.  (7/10)  Rated R for violence/light gore, language, drug use, and human abuse.  "Hey Spence, let's trip out!"Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) - Heather Langenkamp, John Saxon, Nick Corri, Wes Craven, and others play themselves in this movie.  There is another "Nightmare" sequel coming into production.  Heather (herself) is going to play Nancy.  Yet, as the movie we are watching progresses, the script is being made the way we watch it.  So, in the end, everything in the movie was made into the script.  Soon, people start dying on the set and Heather's son (Miko Hughes) begins to act like Freddy.  Heather decides to take on the role of Nancy once more and take Freddy down for good.  Okay, this movie is really confusing.  I never knew if I was watching a movie, a dream, or a movie inside a movie.  Freddy is rarely seen, which is a good thing.  His make-up isn't that good in this one.  It looks like melted rubber and it doesn't go well.  I also thought this was the one where Freddy became scary again.  I really didn't think so.  It came off as a bit of a disappointment in the end.  (6/10)  Rated R for strong violence/gore, and language.  "Come here, my piggy.  I got some gingerbread for you!"The Nightmare Encyclopedia - This is a great disc for all the information about the Nightmare On Elm Street series.  There are three things to choose from on the menu: PRIMETIME, INDEX, and LABYRINTH.  "Primetime" is an introduction to the disc and Wes Craven talks about how the first "Nightmare" was made by using his own childhood memories.  The "Index" contains all seven movies and you can go into the making of the movies and how things were done.  "Labyrinth" is a tricky little thing, but fun.  You go through maze-like hallways, going into rooms, searching through cabinets for deleted scenes, theatrical trailers, alternate endings, documentaries, and much more.  This eighth disc is really helpful and a lot of fun.  It is a nice addition to the collection.  (10/10)All together, this makes a great set that is definitely worth owning.  The transfers are great, the special features are great, and the movies are fun.Welcome To Elm Street!

Question: How is movie?

In many ways it was a far cry from P. K. Dick's vision of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" but nonetheless the best movie Ridley Scott has directed to date (with Alien a close second) . The transfer to Blu Ray was wonderful for all the versions of the film and Edward James Olmos' character is annoying as he is really creepy. One can't help but feel sympathy for the replicants and Rutger Hauer's last scene was poignant and touching. Less reassuring was Scott's future conception of the earth as a polluted wasteland devasted by greenhouse gases. I'm glad I won't be around to see that. in any case buy this collection.

Question: How is the show?

This show was fantastic. I don't understand why it wasn't continued. A tiny consolation is the movie, 'Serenity' which wraps up the TV series and demonstrates that the Firefly universe was as broad and deep and rich as any other series... and we missed out because - for some incomprehendible reason - the networks cancelled the show!It had all the promise of Buffy but with wider appeal. Adventure, humour, thriller, mystery, romance and horror set in the future, with all the grit and grim of today's world. Brilliant acting, fun characters with depth and credibility, stimulating story lines, evocative sets and a horribly catchy introduction tune.
