Thanks for the review - it's one I want to see. Whatever you do though, don't waste your time with the movie of the same name directed by Ulli Lommel. It's horrifically bad.

Give it a try Sam, you might like it. And no problem, just checked out the trailer.
Dont think i will check that one out.

My Review:
So, this is a bit different flick from WWE, than i thought it would be. Interesting how they made a
little story about each superstar from thhe 21th century. A few good names, that totally deserved
to be in this flick. And a few that didnt deserve it (IMO) since its supposed to the greatest superstars
from the 21th century. And there was a few names that i think they forgot. But again thats me.
Other than that, it was an ok  documentar for wrestlingfans, and with some good matches aswell.
A movie that you should check out IMO if you are a wrestling fan!

My Review:
Ah, what a movie. And even better in HD! But over to the movie itself. Its a true gangster movie about the illegal mobster life in Las Vegas, and how the 'mob' run everything. The movie is a classic, with a great story. And (for me) i think both Pesci and De Niro is pure class! Just perfect IMO. I specially love Joe Pesci's character in this one. Just gold! A long movie, that lasts for about 3 hours. But when you watch it, you wouldnt think so. The time just fly's by, its that good (to me anyways) and some good lines aswell in the movie. And  there is a scene on about the 50minutes mark, between Pesci and De Niro, when they are talking on the phone. (you guys that have seen it, know what im talking about) i can watch that scene over and over again! This movie is of course highly recommanded for you guys to check out! Pure class from start to finish.

My Review:
Another masterpiece i would say. A movie i heard alot of great things about, but never seen before. One of the reason i bought it in the first place, was a good friend of mine recommanded it to me.
A movie that had a great story imo. I like how the movie starts. And what they do with what they got is just amazing. For me, the pace of the movie was just perfectly balanced trough out it. And you kinda had to guess trough out the movie, who did what etc. Wich is always a good thing. And Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman in the leads. Just great! I really liked what they did with their parts too. Strong performances! A movie that i highly recommand you guys to watch! One thing i didnt like that good was the sound. I think they could have done a bit better maby with the sound, when they transferd it over to blu-ray.
So thanks Michael for the great choise! :)

My Review:
This is a movie i havent seen before, but been recommanded by many. So i kinda had some expecations again for this one. But didnt know what to think really. But the movie got a funny and good story. With a few laughs in it, and got some cool lines here and there. And some funny moments aswell. A nice family movie, that have good and fun moments trough out the movie. You dont get bored after 30minutes. You kinda want to see how its ending, and what happens next. And i just have to say that the picture\sound quality of the bluray is just amazing. Wow! Really well done there! And this is a movie that i think most of you people would enjoy! So why not check it out?  :)  
Thanks!

Plot:
In what is undeniably one of the best sequels ever made,
Francis Ford Coppola continues his epic Godfather trilogy with this saga of two generations of power within the Corleone family. Coppola, working once again with the author Mario Puzo, crafts two interwoven stories that work as both prequel and sequel to the original. One shows the humble Sicilian beginnings and New York rise of a young Don Vito, now played in an Oscar®-winning* performance for Best Supporting Actor by Robert De Niro. This other shows the ascent of Michael (Al Pacino) as the new Don. Reassembling many of the cast members who helped makeThe Godfather™, Coppola has produced movie of staggering magnitude and vision; the film received eleven Academy Awards® nominations, winning six inclusing Best Picture of 1974.
*Best Supporting Actor 1974











Extras:

My Review:
What a masterpiece. A great story, and a great telling. The Godfather movies is maby the best 'mafia' movie(s) i've ever seen. (If there are any better, please let me know) I just love this one, from start to finish. And Robert De Niro and Al Pacino as Vito and Michael Corleone. What an performance by them! I understand why De Niro won an Oscar for his part. Even though its a fairly long movie lasting over 3 hours, it might just be one of the best movies ever made! This is of course a classic, wich i have to highly recommand to you guys out there! Nothing much else to say about it really. Masterpiece

Title: Bonnie and Clyde
Year: 1967
Director: Arthur Penn
Rating: Rated 18 : Infrequent Strong Violence
Length: 111 Min.
Video: Widescreen 1.85:1
Audio: Engelsk: Dolby Digital: Mono, Fransk: Dolby Digital: Mono, Tysk: Dolby Digital: Mono, Italiensk: Dolby Digital: Mono, Spansk: Dolby Digital: Mono
Subtitles: Dansk, Engelsk, Finsk, Fransk, Hollandsk, Italiensk, Kinesisk, Norsk, Portugisisk, Spansk, Svensk, Tysk











Stars:
Warren Beatty
Faye Dunaway
Michael J. Pollard
Gene Hackman
Estelle Parsons
Denver Pyle











Plot:
Depression-era drifters Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty) and Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway) embark on a life of crime. They crave adventure - and each other. We are unprepared for the cascading violence that follows; we learn they can be hurt - and dread they will be killed. The vivid title-role performances get superb support from Michael J. Pollard, Gene Hackman and Estelle Parsons, 1967 Best Supporting Actress Academy Award® winner. Bonnie and Clyde continually dazzles, thanks to director Arthur Penn, cinematographer Burnett Guffey (winner of the film's second Oscar®) and editor Dede Allen. Decades later, it's still a thunderous, thrilling ride.

My Review:
So i finally watched this one. A movie that i've been interested in for a long time, but never got around to watch it. The Bonnie And Clyde story have always had my interest. And i guess everyone have heard about those two. So now i finally got to check out some of it anyways. The movie was a bit different than i thought it would be. But i really liked the story, and how the two lead pulled that off. I didnt even know that they had othe people with them, under the robberies and murders. I only thought it was them two. A fast movie actually, with a high pace trough out the thing. A few good scenes and lines here and there. A movie that i enjoyed actually, and a movie that i would watch again. But there is a few things that i thought they could have done a bit better. 1, the sound was crap on this blu. 2, the ending came as a suprise on me. Didnt like that ending at all. 3, the movie seemed a bit rushed in some places. 4, some of the supporting actors could done a better job IMO. But still a great action movie that i would recommand for you guys that like a older action movie :)

My Review:
Ah, going in to this movie i didnt know what to think really. Only that alot of people recommanded it. The reason i bought it. And this time i hadnt any expactions at all. And maby that helped. But Disney Pixar usually make good movies. The movie have some really good moments trough out it, some good lines here and there. And the movie made me laugh out loud aswell. (wich is a good thing)  A bit different story too, wich is always a good thing for me. This movie for me is one of the better animated movies i've seen actually. Its up there with Toy Story and Ice Age (for me) A movie that i will be watching again! And ofc, this is a movie that i highly recommand for everyone to check out!

"Monsters, Inc." IS a great film.  One of the films that becomes a classic almost upon release.  The writing is crisp and as much for adults as it is for kids.  Billy Crystal and John Goodman are excellent in their roles.

I don't think i can really find a flaw in this film.  From script to animation, acting to music .. it is just a finely honed film.
Thank you
David
