Topic: My Blu-Ray Reviews

[Achim]

If you can play Region B, Amazon have it a fair bit cheaper.

I can't (so far I have two Blus I cannot play )

Criterion is mostly at least on par though, so I think I'd be fine with that one.

My Review:
Wow! Just wow really. I've watched the trailer for this one a bit back, and right there and then i loved the trailer, and i heard some good things about the movie from some friends of mine! And i finally got to watch it, and i just have to say.. What a movie! The story was real good, and the filming aswell was just great, how they did it all! And it says its a thriller. I would say it is a thriller\suspence! The pace of the movie was kinda fast trough out the movie. Wich is always great, wasnt a dull moment really! And he movie had me guessing. I didnt know how it would end, midways trough the movie. And i think they did the most out of the story as possible IMO. Just a great movie! Wich i highly recommand!

My Review:
Well, a movie that i saw the trailer of a little while back. It looked quite good actually, and i know it have gotten a few good reviews and few of my friends really liked it too. So now i finally got around to it. And its nice to see the up and coming young stars get their chance! And with "Jacob" in the lead role, i didnt know what to expect. I'm not his biggest fan, beacuse of the twilight series. But the movie starts of ok. But it quickly steps up its pace, and sets the standard for the movie really. A really good and interesting story aswell. And the story just picks up trough out the movie. And it kinda had me guessing a few places. A very good actionflick that will keep you on your toes to the end of the movie. And you dont know how the movie will end, before its ends. And you dont know how the good guys or the bad guys are trough out the movie either. So who's to trust really? Thats a quastion i had on my mind in the movie. But to the end of the movie, i got alot of answers. A bit of a different story in the movie, wich i always like. A action movie that i really enjoyed! Wich i highly recommand you guys to watch! And IMO both "Jacob" and LIly Collins did a decent role in this movie.

My Review:
My Thoughts:
This movie has been so hyped up in both the media, and by many of my friends. So i had my expectations up a bit too much maby. But i got to watch it last night. I think the story was a good story. And the movie started of very good aswell. But it slowed down very fast. The movie moved along very slow trough out the movie, and the movie and story turned out the be something completely different than i thought. The movie got a bit boring at times aswell, it didnt movie along as much. Was on the same places too long. But Ryan Gosling made the movie work, He did a great job with it. Both the movie isnt that much about the "driver" and the driving as one might think.
An ok movie, but a bit too slow for me. And they could have done so much more with it (IMO)

Best film of last year for me! Saw it at a preview and it hooked me immediately, especially with the music. Watched it twice since and find it to be note perfect. Genuine favourite for years to come.

[Piffi]

I gotcha! And there are so many that would agree with you
And i have to agree with you on the music part. Genious
But there was something with the movie, and how they did
the story and all the arc, that just didnt do it quite enough
for me. Even though i would really hope so. It wasnt a very bad
movie, but i thought it would be a higher pace and a bit different
movie. But thats beacuse i had my expactions up very high i think
I pictured me it would be something like "Fast And The Furious"
or something.

[samuelrichardscott]

I pictured me it would be something like "Fast And The Furious" or something.

In the Q&A on the UK release, the director tells us this was originally going to be a Fast and the Furious style movie with a $60m budget starring Hugh Jackman. I posted about it a little under my review here: http://www.dvdcollectorsonline.com/index.php/topic,6328.msg153480/topicseen.html#msg153480

I'm with Jon though. This is tied as one of my faves of 2011 currently.

And for the movie itself, with all the chases, and the hot girls. And with all the efects they have put in to this movie franchise! I just gotta say, i love this franchise actually. And in HD its even better!

[samuelrichardscott]

I love standing about 10ft from my sub, turning it up and letting them race. Feeling my jeans rattling like I'm outside in extreme wind with all the bass. Like you, this franchise is one of my biggest guilty pleasures, and I'm sure we'll be talking about it together when the sixth movie is released!

[Piffi]

Hehe, i got a small movie room that i use for my movie\tv watching.
So i have the sub and the rest just a few feet away from my couch
Lucky that way. They have done a amazing job with the sound in the
bluray i have to say! I'm sure aswell that we will talk about together
aswell! Cant wait for it to come! Wonder what they have in store this
time! Its October just in 6 hours here. So i'll see if i get the time to
watch one more before my horrorfest starts or not.

My Review:
This bluray movie\bioset, was one that when i heard it was in the making, i had to get it. And i have to admit that i am not CM-Punks biggest fan. And i know that he wasnt "the chosen one" for a long time. And he's just been around, without too much about it. And with this blurayset you get a look at his journy from the indy's to one of the best wwe superstars and longest reign champion in WWE history. Its a very interesting history, and the road to become a maineventer. He has comed along way from where it all started. And i have to admit that he isnt the "biggest star" in WWE, like Undertaker, Randy Orton (HBK) etc. But he's done ok for himself and i really enjoyed this bioset. And there is a few great matches on it aswell! I highly recommanded it to any WWE fan out there!

My Review:
Well, this one i wanted to see for a long time, after a few people recommanded it to me. And i have to admit that i've been a fan of Jennifer Aniston since her Rachel days in Friends! 
I actually like her. And for the movie, it was ok. The story was ok. I liked what they did with it actually. And the movie had me laugh quite a few times. Not a bad comedy IMO. And i have to admit that i actually liked Jen in this movie. Its a little weird comedy, but a comedy that i enjoyed. A good 1.30 hours spent. A comedy that i recommand you guys to watch!

Plot:
For Nick (Jason Bateman), Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (Charlie Day), the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few too many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three friends edvise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers... permanently. There's only one problem: even the best-laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.

My Review:
This one i got recommanded to me aswell, and in this one too was Jen Aniston! Wich is never a bad thing imo. (and she's kinda hot too!) But over to the movie. The movie had an interesting story for a comedy, wich worked out ok sometimes but the story was a bit too long. The story wasnt that fun always, (they tried, but failed some places) But the movie made me laugh a few times. Some of the lines they had was real funny, but then again some of the lines was just not working at all. Seemed out of place. All in all, an ok comedy that you could watch. Not a bad comedy, but i guess with those names on your list. They could have done a better job IMO. But still an ok movie, that made me laugh a few times!
