#Dune (Extended Edition)# Best Cheap Discount Sales Reviews
I will never understand why this movie got such poor reviews. It is a masterpiece! However, in a reverse of the usual read-the-book: watch-the-movie usually disappoints, it is the opposite here. You simply will not get it, you will not feel it unless you read every word of the book. Herbert is a genius and this movie does not disappoint.
Use the book as a primer, than grab the popcorn and put your head in a good place.
Product Overview
IN THE DISTANT FUTURE, A MAN APPEARS TO BE THE PROPHET THAT A LONG-SUFFERING GALAXY HAS BEEN WAITING FOR.
Dune Movie Superb – Blu Ray Mediocre – Chris – Houston, Texas
I’ll make it short.
+’s – The movie is superb! The movie itself – especially if you are a Dune sci fi fan – is excellent, a very good rendition of the book. And the BluRay quality is up to snuff for a movie of this age.
-’s – The BluRay functionality is clunky. The change from entry to menu to play to actually seeing the movie is incredibly slow. Don’t lose your patience because it will eventually come onto your screen. The other mind bloggling goof is if you pause the movie, it goes into some kind of stasis and reverts to start. DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE YOUR CONTROLS ONCE YOU HAVE BEGUN.
In short, for Dune lovers it’s a great movie as long as you can bear with the poor functionality around the presentation. Hang in there!
VIDEO NOT 1080P OR I – Robert S. Soben – USA
I had been waiting for the bluray version; but his is poorest quality not even 720p more like VHS transfered to cd. Don’t buy if you expect to have a sharp non-pixled picture!
This movie is the shizzatz hadderach – Brian B Schellenberg –
David Lynch’s take on Dune is nothing short of pretty darn good. It definitely gets weird (a.k.a. David Lynch-esque) in places, but overall the feel and tone of the movie are wonderful. The extended addition is definitely superior to the original theatrical version. A great prologue and many added scenes help those who have not read the book understand this complicated story much better.
Great movie, horrible transfer – sbank –
I just watched the blu-ray version of Dune, and I have to say there is nothing special about this release vs. the normal DVD release. Same sound, same graphics. I was hoping for a nice remastering of the content, but I guess we will have to wait for David Lynch to approve some sort of special version.
If you have the DVD version, wait, and do not pick this up. If you have never watched the Dune movie before, grab some popcorn and enjoy and excellent story and adventure.

#The Kingdom (Widescreen Edition)# Best Cheap Discount Sales Reviews
Despite the purposefully ambiguous “kill them all” message inserted into the script (more on that later), The Kingdom comes across as a very realistic action movie with delicate political and religious overtones. Without extreme jingoism or political preaching, a picture of the Saudi Arabian kingdom – a possible metaphor for the Iraq war or Islam – is painted in which a culture clash between American FBI agents and oppositional Saudi officials is juxtaposed so that a common bond can be emotionally unearthed beneath the bloody rubble of a terrorist attack.
In a post-9/11 environment – a world that has since discovered the majority of the hijackers’ were Saudi – the once strong bond between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia has weakened under tension. After a brutal terrorist attack on ARAMCO civilians playing softball, several FBI agents – Ronald Fleurry (Foxx), Grant Sykes (Cooper), Janet Mayes (Garner), Adam Leavitt (Bateman) – are sent to the Middle East to cooperate with initially resistant local officials and find the responsible party in a small five-day window. While clue hunting, respect between the various investigators is forged, as societal differences are overcome and eventually eschewed because of common bonds, similar foes, and shared emotions – particularly between FBI team lead Fleurry and Colonel Faris Al Ghazi (Barhom).
From top to bottom this movie exudes realism. The location is authentic; the debris smolders; the locals look confused, terrified, and angry. The direction is crisp, keeping the viewer on the edge of the seat as soon as it is revealed the hunt is on for a terrorist explosives expert. Action for the entire second half of the movie. And the ending? Woo, the ending is crazy. A frenzy of gun-play with automatic fire ringing ears, the wet thwop of bodies receiving lead injections, and speaker-rumbling bass accompanying every bomb or RPG.
The script by Matthew Michael Carnahan is borderline genius. How representatives of two foreign governments can come together so quickly, to bond so thoroughly, to display such shared emotion, all while suffering through nearly unspeakable blood and violence, and not feel forced or rushed, is incredibly complimentary for the script and actors who made the situations and relationships so believable. While somewhat unbelievable at times, its flawless execution makes otherwise noticeable gaffs (Jennifer Garner’s outfits in Saudi Arabia would have been frowned upon) disappear.
—–SPOILER (kinda)—–
I believe the phrase “Kill them all” spoken by the terrorist at the end is what he sees as proactive guidance in reference to his enemies, to kill them simply for who they are. Conversely, I believe the phrase, when spoken by Jamie Foxx’s character, is meant as a vow of revenge in the name of justice, to kill those who have already committed murders and atrocities. In my view, the two are unequal, and serve as the primary reason for the tensions and dangers that currently exist.

Product Overview

Out of their element and under heavy fire, the team must join forces with their Saudi counterparts.

Kingdom – The Movie – Lynwood –
Movie was much better than expected,Jamie Fox is great in this,wish I had gotten it sooner..If your sitting on the fence about this one it is 1 to buy!!!!
GREAT MOVIE, NOT SO GREAT MESSAGE… – Intro Spective – new york, ny United States
I agree with other reviewers that this is a fantastic, non-stop action flick with never a dull moment. Great story, finely drawn characters, and (most say no, I say yes) excellent script for an action movie.
While much is said about the talented Mr. Foxx, may I add how surprising and delightful Mr. Jason Bateman is turning out to be, not as the cute and boyish TV guy we are familiar with, but he is rapidly delevoping into a very charismatic and talented movie star/actor. I was no huge fan of his but his screen presence is palpable. So is that of Chris Cooper. We know of course how magetic Garner and Foxx are.
Very engrossing flick from the talented Peter Berg. Sadley talent does not negate naivete’, for the take-home message here seems to ultimately be, simply this, just told in another (and insidious) way: Why can’t we all just get along so wars and terrorism can magically vanish if we just love one another. And ***SPOILER ALERT MAY BE HERE:::**** in the end, the heroic efforts and motivations that propel the people who daily lay their lives on the line to try to protect all people, are equated with motivations of the actions of the bad guys. Not so. Mr. Peter Berg, you made a really good movie, but your message is sadly uninformed to an almost child-like extent in this particular instance.
4 stars for a really good movie as entertainment, 1 star off for a message that is too naive to explain away.
An Action Film with Insight – David – Houston, Texas, USA
This is an out and out action film; my wife walked out after the first few minutes and didn’t come back. I’ll agree that it is violent but in the situations this film addresses, violence can and should be expected.
The film provides some interesting insights into life in the Middle East; although I’ve never been there, news reports and video clips over the past several years seem to confirm the use of violence as a negotiating tool. Life in the Middle East, and especially in Saudi Arabia, reflects a worldview that is diametrically opposed to Western thought.
The film is fast paced and moves toward an ending that even increases the pace of the action. As the film closes one is left with statements from both sides that indicate the struggle will continue; it is not just the individuals that are in opposition, but two opposing worldviews.
Historians who address this struggle are quick to point out the fact that the battle has been going on for centuries with greater or lesser intensity. It appears that the level of intensity has been increasing again for several years now.
The confrontations described in “The Kingdom” will not be going away any time soon, sadly to say.
