Burn After Reading

kpkelley · 02-10-2009, 03:48 PM

Taken

I found it to be a very entertaining, if predictable, action thriller. Certainly enough action to give most home theatres a run for their money

Burn after Reading was a quirky spy comedy that I found to be entertaining, but may not be appreciated by all viewers. Would recommend renting before a purhcase if you haven't seen it.

Meeklo · 02-10-2009, 03:51 PM

I just watched The House Bunny, I'd recommend passing on that one. Sleeping Beauty is a must own on Blu though.

Taken was just hoaky to me. I found it way too predictable, unlikely, and bad performances. That's JMO. All the other films are decent.

Burn After Reading is my first choice because it's an intelligent spy film and the Coen brothers are master directors.

It really depends on the OP's taste.

You can't go wrong with Sleeping Beauty. It's possibly the finest example of animation on Blu-ray available to date. I haven't watched Akira yet; it may be better. I'll know tonight!

Beta Man · 02-10-2009, 03:56 PM

Sleeping Beauty, Burn After Reading, Taken

In that order..... I wouldn't bother watching House Bunny

KingBing · 07-10-2009, 03:47 AM

Taken!!

supersix4 · 07-10-2009, 05:11 AM

taken is good but I didn't care for most of the fighting scenes I would have much rather seen more all out violence like with man on fire and the fingers

Icedburden · 07-10-2009, 05:38 AM

It really depends....For comedy I loved Burn After Reading....Taken was a very well done action movie....House Bunny is horrible...Sleeping Beauty is Disney, which is great...But I'm sure you knew that already...

You guys do know this is a thread from February right?

Batman1980 · 07-10-2009, 05:41 AM

Sleeping Beauty, still one of the best movies Disney has ever done.

Now I do, he may still be mulling it over, so this is some more help just in case.

JillyBean819 · 07-10-2009, 01:43 PM

I loved Taken mostly because I love movies where the good guy(s)/victim(s) seeks revenge on their tormentors.
Liam Neeson was pretty good in that role!

I'll post anyways.

Taken!

Iron-Blu-123 · 07-10-2009, 01:52 PM

Taken

TheZoof · 07-10-2009, 02:33 PM

Taken is good but the best 'BLU' on that list is Sleeping Beauty. I should buy it...

The other two aren't for everyone and in my opinion are not required for blu.
