-$- Planet of the Apes Blu ray

I guess that you'd have to be skeptical of movie that has as many 1 and 2 star reviews as it does 4 and 5 star reviews. But in my opinion, Tim Burton's 2001 remake of the classic 1968 version of Planet of the Apes was a victim of a lot of unjust criticism.



Most of the criticism is from preservationists that just don't like their classics tampered with. To them I say fair enough, but I'm also here to say that as much as I loved the original movie that spawned 4 sequels, a television series and an animated TV series, I liked Tim Burton's version the best. Burton's film explained how it could all be possible better than the original while at the same time adhered to the spirit of Pierre Boulle's original novel. Sure Burton took some liberties of his own too, but he also paid honorable tribute to the '68 sci-fi classic in several scenes.



I think that a lot of criticism was also created by the whole time warp thing too. Jumping back and forth in time can be a difficult thing to pull off; it can be very confusing. And it is indeed confusing in Burton's remake. But ultimately it all adds up and is very cool when you finally "get it".



Marky Mark Wahlberg also received some pans for his performance, but I thought he was great. And the apes, most notably Helena Bonham Carter, Tim Roth, Michael Clarke Duncan & Paul Giamatti, all looked great; they were scary, amusing and the acting was excellent. The movie is action packed and thoroughly entertaining through and through. Like I said earlier, I was certainly a fan of the original, but Burton's movie to me was less of a remake of the 1968 film and more of a better adaptation of Boulle's 1963 novel.



I bought this movie once on DVD already all the way back in 2001; but I wouldn't hesitate to give this a try on Blu Ray and I recommend that you do too...especially if you've never seen the movie.

!@ To Kill A King Blu ray

TO KILL A KING is an interesting film about a troubled relationship between two powerful men. I agree with those reviewers who highlight this aspect of the film because it truly is more of a character piece than a historical drama. My only problem with the film is its pacing. It drags in places and urges one to shut it off. But don't. It's definitely worth a watch.

#1 Trailer Park Boys Countdown to Liquor Day Blu ray

Mike Clattenburg has continually set the bar higher and higher, but was finally unable to trump a previous TPB season/movie. The plot seemed entertaining in the beginning, but it never picked up momentum - it seemed sluggish. An overall disappointment - unfortunately.

$ Brothers Blu ray

You totally feel for the brother who had to risk his life in Afghanistan -- even when he is forced to commit an unspeakable crime to save his life. You also feel for the brother who has just got out of jail and for the wife who is left behind to take care of small children. And most of all you really feel for the daughter who feels neglected and less loved than her sister.



I loved the fact that I thought the wife was going to have an affair with her brother-in-law, but no such thing takes place. Threw me for a loop.



This film was actually much better than I thought it would be. Not something I would watch again and again, but a good expose of the post traumatic stress disorder that has impacted so many returning soldiers, and their families.
