OK, I just finished watching The Matrix Reloaded on 4K, having not seen it in probably ten years or better. To be honest, I don't think its as good as the original, but it was still a lot of fun. I do think the freeway sequence and Neo's fight with the Merovingian's goons made the story feel...

No, I've never seen that. I've heard the title in passing a few times, but that's about it.

I never saw either Chicago or Les Miserables, but one of my favorites along that line is the 2004 version of The Phantom of the Opera. I have both that and a 25th-anniversary stage performance on the Blu-Ray format, but I'd really love to see the movie get a 4K upgrade. The colors and sets are...

I'm not into most Westerns, but I do like both Tombstone, and The Quick and the Dead. As for other genres, most of my Blu-Ray collection is made up of action and family fare, with a few dramas and musicals sprinkled in. I got a 4K player a few months ago, so I've been buying some movies in that...

Perhaps I got the wrong impression overall, but the billing block does say "introducing Daniel Craig". His actual first credit was a UK miniseries called Anglo-Saxon Attitudes, from 1992. Logan Lucky wouldn't be done for another 25 years.

I respectfully disagree with this, because it tends to equate spiritual conviction with the popular idea of "magical thinking". There's many different things in both the Bible and Christianity as a whole, that can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt (not all doubt) through various evidential...

With due respect, that poster has to be a fake, because several of the names on the billing block were already famous well before 2024. Daniel Craig, Katie Holmes, Channing Tatum, Sebastian Stan, Adam Driver, and Katherine Waterston all got their respective starts on television decades ago, even...

I really think a lot of people (even many well-intended believers) act like Pharisees these days, trying to carve out exactly what does or does not make someone a Christian. There's many different verses all across Scripture, but the bottom line is this - admit you've sinned against God, believe...

I've had many vices in my life, but glory to God truly, that illicit drugs was never one of them. He has truly protected me from all of that.

I'm very attentive when it comes to lyrics, so when I come across something that feels wrong I usually tend to avoid it. I'm not perfect by any means, but I still keep trying anyway. I just think people need to ease up on what's supposedly "Godly" and "worldly", because Jesus didn't mark a very...

Some people who call themselves "Christians" act more like modern-day Pharisees, routinely condemning anything & anyone that doesn't live up to their super-strict interpretation of Scripture. I should know, having been raised by such people for many years in my childhood. They forced so much...

I actually liked Risen. While its true the film takes several liberties with accepted Christian teaching, I challenge you to name more than a handful of modern faith-based films which don't. Even The Passion of the Christ, widely hailed for its accuracy upon its original release, was later...

I mentioned previously, either in this thread or another, that many Christian filmmakers commit the error of putting the message before anything else. They either forget or choose to ignore the fact that movies are supposed to be entertaining stories first, and you can't connect with your...

My family would go to IHOP every few weeks when I was a kid, and I loved it every time...but now, I don't even know if there is one near my current address. I also went to Denny's in my younger adult years, but not as often, and that stopped after my Mom passed away.

I just got back from a 30th Anniversary screening of one of my favorite movies - you guessed it, The Crow. The picture and sound quality were amazing, which made me think the remaster supervised by original DP Dariusz Wolski was used for both this exhibition and the just-released 4K disc. My...

Its an interesting song, but not one of my favorites. The short film was inventive, though. Let me put it this way: if Off the Wall placed Michael at say a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10, then Thriller shot him up to 15. But its not like he was a novice or disrespected earlier in his career - far from...

He was already famous for spending 16 years with his brothers. He'd done four solo efforts for Motown during that time, but "Off the Wall" is what launched his mainstream independent career. That film was partly inspired by the 1961 version of "West Side Story".

The context of that song at the time, was that the word "bad" was a synonym for "cool", "tough", or "streetwise". Back then, Michael was trying to change his image a bit, and so he hired Martin Scorsese to direct an 18-minute short film for the title track. Since the song itself is only about 4...

I can't really address it from an historical perspective, since I heard songs from it and Thriller when I was 8 years old. Both albums were my intro to Michael as an artist, and I still enjoy them. I even bought the Bad 25 version, when it was released in 2012. There's some really good songs on...

I think the more appropriate term would be "happier", or at least "more relaxed". In the deepest core of his being, Michael was an all-out obsessive perfectionist. When it came to his music, he wanted every track on every album to be the best, never compromising a thing. That's probably one...
