    #*# Final Fantasy The Spirits Within Blu ray



    Final Fantasy the Spirits Within: 3 out of 10: Have you ever walked through the airport and seen one of those religious cult members with their robes and bald heads selling flowers? You ever wonder what would happen if you stuck up a conversation with one of them and went back to the compound in the unmarked white minivan? I imagine after 24 hours of food and sleep deprivation they would show you this film.



    That's exactly what Final Fantasy feels like. A cult recruiting film for James Lovelock's Gaia theory. Really, forget Battlefield Earth (which was god awful but hardly filled Scientologist recruiting sites as people feared); forget Passion of the Christ, heck even Triumph of the Will was less of a propaganda film.



    Besides the heavy-handed religious message the film itself is a mess. The basic plot has alien ghosts that kill on contact overrunning the earth. The one group wants to use a death star style laser in space (paid for by your tax dollars) to kill the deadly aliens. The other group wants to travel around collecting magic broccoli so Gaia will use her spirit to drive away said ghosts. Guess what side the movie is on. To make the Gaia broccoli-collecting group look more reasonable the movie stacks the deck by making the Laser people completely insane.



    Even with the deck stacking and James Woods drooling as the mad general I still wondered why they couldn't try the laser? Oh that's right they might kill Gaia who lives under the earth like a cross between Lovecraft's Old Ones and a hibernating Care Bear. The animation is groundbreaking for film but really not that much better than the cut scenes in the last few Final Fantasy video games.(Which the movie has literally nothing to do with. Even the tone of the film is all wrong.)



    Either unknown voice work or live actors might have been a better choice in casting. The action scenes are well done though the ghosts aren't exactly scary. The magic of the visuals wears off after twenty minutes or so. The irritation at the story however can last for weeks.

      #$ Rent Filmed Live on Broadway Blu ray



      If you are a fan of this wonderful Tony award winning Broadway show, this Blu-ray is a "must have". Having seen Rent several times, I was expecting a top notch theatrical experience and that's exactly what this final performance, filmed live on Broadway at the Nederlander Theater, delivers. The picture and sound quality of this blu-ray disc are amazingly lifelike. With a decent home theater system, you almost feel like you're sitting in a prime Nederlander seat watching the final curtain call. Especially appealing are the disc's bonus features which include a retrospective documentary on the play and it's creator, Jonathan Larson, as well as interviews with current and past cast members, and more. I'm very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it.

        $ The Black Crowes Warpaint Live Blu ray



        While I am a big Black Crowes fan I have to say the Warpaint release is my least favorite. If you out there liked the the release than you should love the DVD. The BCs play all the songs live on stage.

          ++ HDScape Sampler Blu ray



          When I got this it was pretty obvious that the case had been opened before. When I checked the disk, sure enough, it had a HUGE scratch in it. When I tried to return it, Amazon said I had to pay the return shipping. So I just threw it in the trash.

            -- Hollow Man Director s Cut Blu ray



            Sebastian Caine is a brilliant yet arrogant scientist working on a top secret mission for the U.S. government to unlock the secret to human invisibility. After creating a serum that induces invisibility in laboratory animals, he disobeys Pentagon orders by trying the serum on himself. Though it works, the effects are irreversible. While his chief lieutenants Linda McKay and Matt Kensington try frantically to counteract the effect, Caine becomes increasingly intoxicated by his new found power. Not only do his latent megalomaniac tendencies begin to emerge, they get stronger the longer he remains invisible as he begins to perceive all efforts to cure him as a threat to his very existence. 'Hollow Man' is a creepy nail-biter. This movie is one of the best psychological thrillers, with fantastic special effects.

              ++ Battlestar Galactica The Plan Blu ray



              Doesn't fit quite so nicely into the story line as I would have liked.

              If Number One knew what the five looked like why did he torture and maim Colonel Tye?

              Also why did the Cylons Search the temple to see the faces of the five?

              Otherwise an excellent episode.

              The destruction of the twelve colonies is particularly well done.

              Sorry to see the series finish.

                #@: Never Say Never Again Blu ray



                Great movie. I didn't know the history and that this was an "unofficial" Bond movie. The extras did a good job of explaining it and the movie is great.

                  @# Cliffhanger Blu ray



                  This is a typical Stallone-vs-bad guy movie, but I bought it in blu-ray for the scenery and the action and I wasn't disappointed. The Rockies in HD are magnificent and the surround sound is excellent, which adds a lot to an otherwise mundane bad guys vs good guys storyline.

                  John Lithgow is a hoot as the head bad guy; he can play comedy and evil geniuses with equal panache and he is up to form here. Stallone is his rugged action-hero self and his performance is typical Stallone. If you love Sly, you'll enjoy this movie.

                  If you love beautiful scenery along with some fun action, you may also enjoy this movie and if you have a blu-ray surround sound home theater system, it should increase your enjoyment of the movie even more.

                  In short, this is not great movie but it's not awful either, so if this type of story is your cup of tea or if you are a Stallone fan, I think you'll enjoy it.

                  While this isn't exactly a 'movie-of-the-year' level film, it's a good trip for those who enjoy action adventure stories and I recommend it for a fun of it.

                  -- Old Dogs 3 Disc Blu ray Combo Pack Includes DVD Digital Copy



                  I won't give the overview as others have done this - I'll dive right in. This movie had some really hilarious moments, but in between it dragged on and was full of very unbelievable, overdone scenes. I really appreciate that Travolta and Williams chose a family friendly film, and it even had a fine message about love, sacrafice and putting family and friends ahead of everything else. Both of these actors are charismatic and pleasant to watch.



                  Regardless the movie was slow, and we were tempted to turn it off. Just when we would get ready to jump ship, something very funny would happen, so we kept watching. Then the cycle would repeat itself. There were also many bits that were just cliche and silly.



                  The best part of the DVD was the DVD extra - a music video with Travolta and his daughter.
