Gamer - Movie Review

Not What I Remembered

So, Gamer UHD was on sale at Vudu for $5. Gamer? I think I remember watch and liking the movie. Seems like a good deal and trailer is good. Nothing to do on a Saturday night so let's watch the new movie. 95 minutes later not counting breaks and movie concludes. Verdict: Movie is not as good as I remembered. Ugh.

Review

Gerard Butler, Logan Lerman, Ludacris, and John Leguizamo are just a few actors in this movie. Their acting is good and makes my purchase more tolerable. The story is different and leave you guessing for over half the movie. The R rating does not do this movie justice. Looking at the rating by Vudu, both Violence and Language are 5 out of 5 and Sex is a 4 out of 5. I must remember to look at these ratings for future purchase.

Even if the Sex and Language was brought down, there are still other flaws with this movie that take away from the acting. The movie uses way too much shaky camera movement. There are some scenes that are just blurs of action that you cannot tell what is happening. Overuse of sex is also an extreme drawback to this movie.

Rating

I give this a SD rating. I recommend renting this movie if you have any interest in watching it. Better yet, see if you can get it from your local library for free. I purchased mine UHD on sale for $5 from Vudu.

Protecting Your Online Collection

 Protecting Your Collection In this time of cyber crime, you want to protect your investment of digital movies. I will be focusing this page on the primary retailers that connect with Movies Anywhere. At the time of this post, I am only aware of Google and iTunes are the only two retailers that offer secondary authentication. Technically, Amazon offers a secondary authentication with the use of a pin for digital purchases. I highly recommend you use these security feature provided by Amazon, Google, and iTunes. This provides great protection for your collection and any saved credit card information that you have with the retailer. I would not advise keeping your credit card information with a online retailer but I understand it's convenience. With that said, I will point out that users have the ability to removed their credit card information from Amazon, FandangoNow, Google, iTunes (provided you are not using Family Sharing), and Microsoft. This is convenient when one of the retai...

Avengers: Endgame - Review

Movie Review - Spoiler Free I will try to keep this a spoiler free review. First, I would like to applaud Disney/Marvel for making a movie over the 2 hour limit that most movies have kept themselves to lately. The movie would have felt rushed if it was only 2 hours. The movie starts out appropriately timed to the events of Avengers: Infinity War. The movie kept you emotional invested throughout the entire movie. There was some predictability with the story but for the most part, I was able to enjoy the ride without knowing what would happen next. This to me made the movie extremely enjoyable. We get see how the characters deal with the aftermath of the Infinity War and what their options are moving forward. Each character was given their opportunity on screen during the movie. This is obviously easier to do since there are fewer characters after the events of Infinity War. I felt that many characters had an appropriate conclusion to their stories. The movie did leave me with a couple ...

Digital Ownership

 What Is? With the digital revolution, digital media has been sweeping the world. My memory of digital media was back with iTunes in 2001. There you could download music with a touch of a button from an actual retailer vs illegally with the bonus of malware to your computer. I actually had digital music from iTunes before I had a iPod or iPhone to play it on. In 2005, Apple released their video iPod and started to "sell" digital TV and movies. I am not saying Apple was the foundation for the digital revolution but it was my first positive experience with digital media. My first digital video purchase was the unaired Aquaman TV pilot as it was the only place to get it. What does purchasing something digitally really mean though? Apple and Amazon are coming under class-action lawsuits for their digital ownership definition of "buy" an item. The lawsuit stems from the fine print where retailers cannot guarantee you own the product but merely have unlimited streaming. T...
