"The Nutcracker and the Four Realms"

It's a very pretty movie, and I love it. It made me feel girly and I like it!

Sunshine Cleaning, on blu-ray

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald in D-Box Ultra-AVX 3D (we had points saved up for free tickets so we went all out).

The film is quite dark, both content wise and literally. Most scenes were so dimly projected that the 3D was hardly perceptible. There were a few scenes where the action is complimented by the D-box motion, but for the most part, you can skip D-box for this movie. D-Box is better for movies like Star Wars or Kingsmen.

I found the film a bit confusing, often unsure as to whether they're in the muggle world or wizard world, as there are scenes with magical stuff happening and nobody seems to pay any attention to it, muggle or wizard. A very fast paced and hectic opening sequence means you'll miss a few things if you happen to glance down at your popcorn for a second (guilty). Any wizard family names that were mentioned in the Potter franchise are also referenced in this film, giving fleeting flashes of backstory to practically every family tree. There's A LOT happening in this movie, and Rowling's attention to every little detail is staggering. It's definitely a movie that you'll have to watch several times to catch everything. I know I'll have to watch it again as soon as it is out on Blu-Ray with the Closed Captions on because I couldn't understand a single word that Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) mumbled throughout the entire film. His British accent combined with his mumbly dialogue delivery made every word out of his mouth completely unintelligible to me. Potter fans were upset with Johnny Depp being cast as Grindlewald, but he's barely recognizable as Depp, and definitely playing things dark and serious, with absolutely no hint of Jack Sparrow, which is what I think the fans were concerned with. All in all, there is so much going on in this film that if you're not a die hard Potter fan, you'll find things quite confusing at times, and even the fans will be surprised at some of the twists. JK Rowling was right when she said that by the end of this film you won't know half of what you thought you knew.

So, I wrote this on October 20th. Venom (which mind you is still finishing it's run in theaters right now will be out on DVD December 18th. I have never seen a wide release movie go from a theater to the home market that quickly. Sony must be truly desperate to capitalize on the success of that movie.

To put this into content.

The Equalizer 2 had a release date of July 20th. It will be on DVD December 11th.
Venom had a release date of October 5th. As I said, it's still in theaters. It will be out on DVD December 18th.

phantom of the paradise

very good movie, would watch again

Ralph Breaks The Internet

Great to see Ralph and Venelope again, but I didn't find this one as funny as Wreck It Ralph, which is one of my favourite movies. I guess I just related to the first film more, as I grew up in the '80's playing all of those "retro" games. This new movie obviously focuses on the internet, and plays on things like memes, click bait and "heart-ing" things, which would appeal more to today's generation. There's a few good laughs, and a surprising plot twist that doesn't seem to fit the character, but didn't quite have the heart of the first film. But DEFINITELY make sure you stay right until the very end of the closing credits.:P

The Thirteenth Floor (1999) on dvd :shock:

Aquaman, with my nephew at Christmas. really well done, Atlantis and the vehicles were great, water was amazing, i know JC is looking at this for comparison.
