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?
