The Giver Blu-ray Review

Nov 15, 2016 | , | 0 |

“I’d probably have loved it when I was eight.” During my discussion with two fellow cinema lovers that’s the comment, they both felt I should use in my review. So there it is, let’s start as we mean to go on. There’s nothing wrong with The Giver that’s easy to put a finger on. A Stellar Cast The cast is excellent. You have Jeff Bridges as the titular Giver, Meryl Streep as the Chief Elder, Katie Holmes as the least scary head of security ever and Alexander Skarsgard as some kind of medical personnel. Then there’re a few youngsters...

Build a Blu-Ray Collection by Jon | Nov 14, 2016 | 0 comments Build a Blu-Ray Collection Worthy of Your Shelves Have you ever looked at your ageing collection of DVD’s or (heaven forbid) VHS tapes and wondered if it isn’t time for you to upgrade to buying your favourite films on Blu-ray? Do you own a nice big flat screen TV, perhaps even with a 4K screen and yet use it to display low-quality versions of blockbuster films? Then perhaps it’s time you started to really enjoy your time spent watching films. If you haven’t got at least...

The Arrival Film Review by Jon | Nov 12, 2016 | 0 comments Origin of the Story The film is based on a story written by Ted Chiang which won the Nebula Award for Best Novella in 2000.

The Accountant Film Review by Jon | Nov 8, 2016 | 0 comments My first impression of this film on leaving the cinema after the end credits rolled was, ‘What an enjoyable 90 minutes that was’. This just goes to show that having to turn off my smartwatch during a film really destroys any hope that I can accurately note it’s length. The Accountant manages to make a running time of 128 minutes fly by quite happily. Although to be fair, Inferno did make me feel like I’d just visited whichever circle of hell was reserved for the team who thought...

Deadpool Blu-Ray Review by Jon | Jul 3, 2016 | 0 comments It’s quite likely that you saw Deadpool at the cinema, given its status as a surprise box office hit. As of writing the box office for the film is pegged at $760 million USD. This for a film that is about a character that really very few non-fans had heard of until Ryan Reynolds got into his full marketing swing. Many have erroneously suggested that it was the first R-rated (in the US system) comic book film. Actually there’s plenty of others Kingsman: The Secret Service, The...
