Casablanca Review for Blu-ray Elite!!!





When you hear the term “classic” to describe a Hollywood film, there are only a handful of movies that come to mind and one of them should definitely be director, Michael Curtis’s legendary movie, Casablanca. The timeless film, starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman as former lovers, Rick and Ilsa, during World War II, whose paths cross once again, during unfortunate circumstances.

Movies Coming Out This Weekend!!!

Men in Black III Opens This Weekend!!!


              


             Memorial Day Weekend is just days away, and for some that is the start of their summer. What better way to start off the summer then catching a blockbuster flick? This weekend, movie theaters everywhere will most likely be swarmed with die hard Men in Black fans, who have anticipated for what seems like a lifetime, but really only about ten years, for the third film Men in Black III.
            Men in Black III stars the original two agents, Agent J (portrayed by Will Smith) and Agent K (portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones) and is welcoming newcomer Josh Brolin to the mega hit franchise.
This film centers on Agent J traveling back in time to the 1960's to prevent an alien from murdering his friend Agent K and changing history. Josh Brolin is set to portray a young Agent K, which seems like a good choice.
            The storyline sounds intriguing and if it’s done right, it could be one of the biggest films of the year. Although, MIB III does have some competition since The Avengers is still out in theaters, and Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth's Snow White and the Huntsman comes out next week, and of course who can forget the long awaited for The Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises which is still slated to open this July.The storyline sounds intriguing and if it’s done right, it could be one of the biggest films of the year.

Inception Review for Blu-Ray Elite!!!




If you could dive into anyone’s mind who would you pick and why? Do you think you’d find something you didn’t think was there? Better yet, if you could slip into someone’s dreams and plant or steal ideas would you jump at the opportunity? Well, if you haven’t guessed the next film from Warner Bros. I received on blu-ray is Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece Inception. Although I’ve seen this film before, seeing it again on blu-ray is quite an experience. The sound and picture quality is crystal clear. Nolan has the ability to grab your attention from beginning to end, and go beyond entertaining. I would actually recommend seeing Inception more than once since it can be difficult to understand, and at times hard to follow but once you grasp the concept, it’s mind-blowing. The film centers on a troubled man, Cobb (portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio) who is struggling to find a way back home to his children. Due to an unfortunate circumstance, the only way home for Cobb is to complete an almost impossible task. That task is to create an ‘inception’ which means, to plant an idea in someone’s mind without them knowing it. Cobb is an expert extractor-which means he can steal ideas, but inception is much more complicated and the job he is ordered to do come with major risks. Can Cobb and his team produce an idea into someone else’s mind in order for him to get his life back in America? Or will their attempt become incomplete and suffer the consequences?

Contagion!!!



Recently, I was asked to be apart of an amazing program with Warner Bros. The program, The Blu-Ray Elite, is to watch and review free blu-ray DVDs that Warner Bros. mails me. So, the first film on the list is director, Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion. The film is based around a highly infectious disease that starts off only infecting a hand full of people, and then increasingly begins to spread world wide. Contagion stars Matt Damon, Gwyenth Paltrow, Laurence Fishburne, Marion Cotilliard, Jude Law and Kate Winslet in a fast-paced thought provoking thriller. Can the Centers for Disease Control figure out the cause of the disease and create a cure before there is no one left?

Superheroes Invade Movie Theaters









The start of an epic summer, filled with great blockbuster films is upon us. It all begins this weekend with the all star cast of Marvel Studios’ latest superhero flick, The Avengers. It is the first major superhero film of the summer season, and is expected to be a huge success. Almost every actor/actress is back to reprise their role in the assembly of good versus evil. The film is directed by Joss Whedon and stars Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Gwyenth Paltrow as Pepper Pots, and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. Newcomers to the superhero genre are actors Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner. Ruffalo will be portraying the The Hulk and Renner will be Hawkeye. The star-studded cast has moviegoers everywhere flocking to the theaters this coming weekend, and has movie critics raving about it already.
The Avengers is just the beginning for comic book fans this summer. Coming July, comic and movie buffs will have the pleasure of seeing two huge superhero films. The first one is The Amazing Spider-Man, directed by Mark Webb (no pun intended) and starring Andrew Garfield in the title role. The film is not a sequel but a reboot. The Amazing Spider-man also stars Emma Stone as Gwen Stacie, Martin Sheen and Sally Field as Ben and May Parker and Rhys Ifans as the Lizard. The film is centered around Peter Parker trying to discover the reason his parents disappeared when he was young.

Then, not even three weeks later, Batman fans will rush to theaters to catch the third and final installment of director Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise, The Dark Knight Rises. The film features Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Gary Oldman and welcomes newcomers Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy. On July 20, 2012 it will mark four years (and two days to be exact) since the second film, The Dark Knight, premiered. Heath Ledger, who portrayed the Joker in The Dark Knight, unfortunately passed away before the film even came out. His performance was so incredible it earned him an Academy Award for Best Actor, and had a lot of people questioning as to whether there would be a third film after Ledger’s perfect, unbeatable performance. Four years later, Nolan and cast are back and ready to hopefully fulfill Batman enthusiasts’ expectations.

Check out all three trailers below!
