The Flash is probably one of the best television shows today. The writers bring you into the story and you feel invested as to what happens. The actors seem like a real team and their problems and achievements become yours.
If you were looking for the same brilliance found in the first Red film, lightning doesn’t strike twice I’m afraid. However, the characters are still loveable and the concept is terrific. There are also some great lines and scenes that make the movie worth watching.
Gotham is a network much like the mob mentality it presents, like a spider spinning its web, ensuring that all the facets of each inner workings run smoothly. The storyline is the central focus along with the different characters and all the side stories.
Red (which stands for Retired, Extremely Dangerous in case you were wondering) is a fun film with seasoned actors who do a great job. It isn’t the standard shoot ‘em up action films which makes it even more enjoyable to audiences of various ages.
Much as she has done in her documentaries, Cowperthwaite captures her subject(s) sincerely and honestly; such that it naturally diverges into other matters.
Charlize Theron lays down an amazing performance with a character that just gets pushed over into hopelessness. Javier Bardem also puts in an Oscar-worthy performance as a doctor who’s always risking his life to save others to the detriment of his own life.
The Cabin In The Woods video quality is suburb. There is obviously some green screen bleed though and the backgrounds look terribly fake which is unfortunate but sometimes an unforeseen issue with a 4K transfer.
Ridley Scot, Harrison Ford, and Blade Runner fans alike will thoroughly enjoy this latest version of the 4k UHD Blu-ray experience even if you own previously released ones. A must have for the ultimate Blade Runner fan and a good reminder as we gear up for Blade Runner 2049’s theatrical release.
The thirteen episode format works quite well for The Originals. It tightened up pacing as well as upped the tension level which, in turn, created one of the best seasons of the show to date.
