The CIA's most
dangerous former operative is drawn out of hiding to uncover more explosive
truths about his past. I like these
movies but the sequels all run together and go by a formula so I cannot
remember which story is part 2 or part 3 and so on and not there is anything
wrong with as kicking and car chases. I
am glad Damon and Greengrass returned to the franchise because they make a good
team.
The final
installment of the long-running Phantasm series. I have been waiting for this sequel a long
time. Two years ago I saw Phantasm at
the Alamo with director Don Coscarelli and most of the cast and we got to see
the premiere of the trailer for this and it looked promising. A Q and A followed and Don had hoped the
movie would be released by the end of 2015 but it took another year for that to
happen. Reviews are mixed on this but it
will be nice to the series come to an end and see the Tall Man on the screen
one last time, boy! R.I.P. Angus. Also, Phantasm is being released on blu for
the first with its new 4K scan from J.J. Abrams. I scored Phantasm at Wal Mart but it has been
difficult to find Ravager. My Amazon
account says waiting to ship and forums indicate this is a hard title to find
in stores so the waiting for Ravager continues. **Update** I found this at Best Buy. Yes, Best Buy. I thought they only carried major new release titles not obscure new titles. Bravo BB!
2015’s best movie goes from bright
orange and blue to black and white in this new Chrome Edition of Fury Road from
the great George Miller. I am really excited
to see how this plays in this non-color.
I still would have liked to have seen Mel Gibson reprise his role as Max
here as old guys kicking ass seems to be all the rage in action movies
lately.
The quiet life of
a terrier named Max is upended when his owner takes in Duke, a stray whom Max
instantly dislikes. This movie made a
really good trailer six months in advance and built up hype and we all went to
see it and were really let down. This
movie is below average but it cleaned up at the box office so be ready for a
sequel in the near future.
These shows are a lot of fun and I enjoy
watching them with the boy.
