Mr. Turner is an eccentric British painter. Profoundly affected by the death of his father, loved by a housekeeper he takes for granted and occasionally exploits sexually, he forms a close relationship with a seaside landlady with whom he eventually lives incognito in Chelsea, where he dies.
Throughout this, he travels, paints, stays with the country aristocracy, visits brothels, is a popular if anarchic member of the Royal Academy of Arts, has himself strapped to the mast of a ship so that he can paint a snowstorm, and is both celebrated and reviled by the public and by royalty.
It’s full of eccentric, unconventional and deeply sharp moments. The main character is a creative life with great mess in his personal life. It’s impossible not to equate the ideas in the film about working and living as an artist as reflections on the filmmaker’s existence and the best part is the beautiful landscapes and wardrobe, during two and a half hours of exquisitely drawn and beautifully photographed vignettes of Turner’s life, the viewer will enjoy all the likeness of each character.

A typical romantic comedy comes with About Last Night and its contemporary version closely follows new love for two couples as they journey from the bar to the bedroom and are eventually put to the test in the real world. From the director Steve Pink his movie does an awesome job depicting the realities of relationships. Kenvin Hart is so funny and talented. However the crux of the movie centers on the relationship between Michael Ealy and Joy Bryant and it will get you thinking and talking about your relationship if you are in one (the stages you have been in and will go through). The plot is really entertaining and the director did a nice job directing.
Now you can have this great movie in Blu-ray and DVD enjoying hookups and breakups in a funniest manner with special features such as high definition, audio in English, French, Spanish and subtitles with the same languages.

Pompe II has passion for history and was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, an adept handler of eye-popping 3D spectacle now is available in Blu-ray, DVD including a talented cast and characters and “The Volcanic Eruption-Special Effects.” The film travels back in time to 79 AD. It revolves around Pompeii, an outlying Roman metropolis that is found at the bottom of Mt Vesuvius — a volcanic mountain.
A young boy called Milo (Kit Harington of Game of Thrones) witnesses the slaughter of his tribe at the hands of Roman soldiers, led by Roman commander Corvus (Kiefer Sutherland). Thus, Milo becomes the sole survivor of a Celtic horse tribe. He is then raised as a slave, and 17 years later, becomes a gladiator who is taken to Pompeii to battle Atticus (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), an African gladiator who is one fight away from earning his freedom.
A movie full of violence and tragedy bit this makes it more realistic and highly entertaining, never boring. Milo and Atticus take on a battalion of Roman soldiers and both are involved in destruction of the place. Interaction between the characters was fine given the length of time between the start of the movie and the eruption of Pompeii. The acting of the cast was well done. The 3-D effect had you brushing volcanic ash out of your hair and the film, it is definitely worth the watch.

Rust and Bone is an intense love story from the director of the highly-acclaimed The Prophet. When Alain (Matthias Schoenaerts) is put in charge of his young son, he decides to make a break of it and leaves his native Belgium to restart his life with his sister in Antibes. But the new start is turned upside down when he starts a relationship with Stéphanie (Marion Cotillard), the beautiful trainer of killer whales. It’s when Stéphanie has a serious accident that their connection really turns into something profound. French dialogue is arguably and beautiful for this movie especially after she suffers a horrible accident. This is a tremendously acted and directed drama, and the spark of love between Cotillard and Schoenaerts after they have sex for the first time is exciting and moving. Great film, plot, and acting, although the film has sub titles, this did not detract from it whatsoever gripped from start to finish.
