#A Nightmare on Elm Street [Blu-ray]# Best Cheap Discount Sales Reviews
Okay, as a long time fan of the original series of A Nightmare on Elm Street movies, I like most people, was very skeptical about this latest version. I own ALL of the original movies, and I do mean ALL. I even own New Nightmare and Freddy vs. Jason. I bought this movie without even seeing it first because of the low price thinking that if I didn’t like it I would just give it away to someone who does. However, I gave myself a little pep-talk before sitting down to watch it. I told myself, this is what I’m going to do – Watch this movie with an open mind and judge it on its own merits as if it were its own movie and not a remake. I decided I wasn’t going to watch it, constantly comparing it to the original.
I know some people have a strong sentimental attachment to the original. They have fond memories of going to the theater with their middle/high school friends and being scared out of their minds. I fortunately was very young when the original was first out, I didn’t even get to see it until it had been around for about 10 years, so I didn’t have the emotional attachment for the original to shed before seeing this one. But, as I said, I’m still a huge fan. I was instantly hooked by Freddy in all of his twisted glory and now own every original movie they ever made.
I actually enjoyed this version very much. The trick to enjoying this movie is to not judge it as a mere remake, but instead as it’s own movie. That’s really not a difficult task, as many elements such as the backstory for Freddy have been changed. They kept a few pivotal scenes from the original here, but a lot has changed, and I found it refreshing. I cared about the characters, I felt the fear that they felt and through much of this movie I was on the edge of my seat, which is something that hasn’t happened in a long time.
This is definitely a darker, and in some ways, more sadistic Freddy than we’ve seen before. He still has a few wise-cracks here and there, but long gone are the cheesy one liners. Again, no disrespect, but I personally don’t miss the humor or hilariously bad dialogue. One thing even to this day that often makes me cringe while watching the originals is the horrible acting and deadpan delivery of lines. The bad acting often made me laugh more than Freddies witty satire. I love this one for the scare factor, this genuinely creeped me out, which is what I want in a Horror movie. If I want to laugh, I watch a Comedy.
A classic is always going to be a classic. I feel that many people are giving this bad reviews without actually seeing it, because in a way they feel it’s some kind of blasphemy to have redone it in the first place. Give it a chance. Watch this movie with an open mind and judge it on its own merits, and you’ll see that it’s actually a very good movie.
Product Overview
Five teenage friends living on one street all dream of a sinister man with a disfigured face, a frightening voice and a gardener’s glove with knives for fingers. One by one, he terrorizes them within their dreams–where the rules are his and the only way out is to wake up. But when one among them dies, they soon realize that what happens in their dreams happens for real and the only way to stay alive is to stay awake. Buried in their past is a debt that has just come due. To save themselves, they must plunge into the mind of the most twisted nightmare of all: Freddy Krueger. Jackie Earle Haley plays the legendary evildoer in this contemporary reimagining of the seminal horror classic.
I’ve seen worse. Not bad however would not watch it again… – Touch of Class –
Ok, I liked the new Freddy as he really appears burned and his voice was creepy! Freddy without the cheesy lines was a plus but the movie overall was like watching Freddy vs Jason with worse acting. I thought the guy from Sarah Connor Chronicles was good as was the Blonde girl at the beginning but the main guy just was not a good actor and the “main girl” reminds me of the girl from the Linkin park ‘numb’ video. Might even be her.
IF you enjoyed the original you won’t be able to stop comparing them and yes, original was 100% better. This film just could not hold my interest and seemed a bit slow. Maybe worth a rental at best.
Prepare yourself – Eric L. Willard – FPO, AP United States
So, lets get it out in the open. The only real negative in this review is the fact that this was advertised as a whole different story and would show an entirely different side of Freddy Krueger. It doesn’t really do this. There was dialogue that I was thinking, “Wasn’t that the same line from the original? Or very close to it?” more than once. Also someone told me, “The devil is very scary in this movie.” and I was intrigued by this. I thought, “Who can beat Viggo Mortensen from the Prophecy?”. Now..That was a chilling Lucifer. I watched Nightmare twice and there was no devil (Lucifer/Satan). Unless I stepped out of the room shortly and missed it twice?
Sort of Spoiler:
As you watch and think about what it took to make a man like this, remember the line from the trailer. “He’s not punishing us for telling lies. He’s punishing us for telling the truth.” Think about it. It’s a chilling look at the way Freddy thinks.
PRO:
Jackie Earle Haley – (Watchmen – Rorschach) Was excelent as Freddy. No doubt about it. Seeing him as a normal man or as the disfigured dream killer, were both very well played and he should get credit for this performance.
Supporting cast: Although not the best cast, they performed well enough to merit “average” but nothing here was award winning.
CG/Effects: Well done and believable for a slasher. I espescially liked the Freddy facial burns.
If you are a fan of the original, you will not be disappointed by this movie/remake.
Blu ray review – Chase A. Cowan –
I’m not reviewing the movie, just blu ray release in general… Decent special features and a great picture… Downside is no unrated or extended edition… There’s a lot of cool scenes in the featurettes that weren’t in the movie which is dissapointing… They should realist now that people want a bunch of added scenes when the movie comes out to buy. With that said I was very dissapointed in the release but the movie is not bad, freddys pretty creepy in this one…

#Miracle on 34th Street (Special Edition)# Best Cheap Discount Sales Reviews
Miracle on 34th Street – what can you say – but one of the best Christmas movies ever! There have been many remakes and knockoffs of this move but not one can hold a candle to the original. Whether in black and white or colorized, this is an enjoyable movie to watch with the whole family. The storyline, acting and setting of the movie can never be duplicated. It is a smart well crafted movie that will “tug at the heart strings”. It is a must to see and if there is anyone out there that hasn’t seen this movie (???), do yourself a favor and rent, Netflix and, better yet, purchase the movie to have for your own video library.
Product Overview
Six year old Susan has doubts childhood’s most enduring miracle Santa Clause. Her mother told her the “secret” about Santa a long time ago, so Susan doesn’t expect to receive the most important gifts on her Christmas list. But after meeting a special departement stare Santa who’s convinced he’s the real thing, Susan is given the most precious gift of all – something to believe in.
Miracle on 34th Street Blu-Ray – Leni –
This is a great investment! Although I would have enjoyed seeing the color version in HD just as well as the B&W it was well worth my money and the video quality is outstanding, along with the 5.1 DTS-HD MA.
rather disappointing, but has its moments – Robert J. Crawford – Balmette Talloires, France
I was quite surprised at the anti-psychoanalytic slant of this film. One of the worst guys in it is an insensitive therapist working in the dept store: he gets a simple guy depressed (informing him he hates his father). Perhaps this “insight” was misplaced, but the Santa then visits him and whacks him in the head with an umbrella handle. THe message: whether you agree or disagree with that style of introspection, it is OK to bash someone you don’t like over the head. That is simple assault. I didn’t like it and didn’t enjoy my son laughing at the silly psychoanalyst as he went down.
Beyond that, the story is rather maudlin: widow with young child (adorably cute but needy) is seeking to find a new life in the right man. Meets the right man. Faces personal trial, child grows wiser. Plot with trial of quasi-Santa (yes, he is lovable, even as an assailant). The ending is a bit ambiguous, which at least adds some subtlety.
I did like this as a kid, but more because you watch in season than for the story itself. This viewing reinforced that.
a bad message – Mr. Paul Goddard –
I threw it in the trash. It’s about a young girl and her mother
who give very sensible and logical reasons for not believing
in Santa Clause. Then a man who thinks he is Santa Clause convinces them that it’s OK to believe in anything you want if
it makes you feel good. The lawyer is the only cool character in the movie. This lawyer “proves” in court that the man is Santa Clause. But he doesn’t really prove anything. It only proves that lawyers and twist things around.
