Review: ANT-MAN 3D Blu-ray Combo Pack

ANT-MAN

ANT-MAN is now available everywhere. I have him in the smallest version possible, digital. I received a copy of the 3D Blu-ray Combo pack to review. I saw ANT-MAN in the theater a couple of times and it was really funny. It is the funniest of all the marvel movies so far. Even though I though Guardians was really funny, ANT-MAN was the funniest. Now I have the movie in my own home and available anywhere through Disney Movies Anywhere. I’ve been able to watch the movie as well as all the extras. My favorite extra is the whole featurette, Let’s Go To The Macroverse. It talks about how the movie was made with regards to the filming the small world around ANT-MAN. Tons of macro photography was done to capture the textures and details of that small level.

Paul Rudd is Ant-Man

The Movie itself is great fun. At its core it is a heist movie. Scott Lang is a Robin Hood like thief that was caught and sent to jail. He’s out and trying to change his ways so that he can be a better father to his daughter, Cassie. However, it is tough for an ex-con and he soon finds himself falling back into the life of a thief. He is helped by some friends and eventually meets Hank Pym who is the original ANT-MAN. Not a spoiler since anyone who is anyone should know one of the original founders of The Avengers. Hank enlists Scott into a scheme to break into his former company to steal something and this is where it gets really fun and interesting.

Hank’s daughter, Hope, helps train Scott to become the new ANT-MAN. So with this movie you get heists, training montages and some very funny moments, especially with a Thomas the Tank Engine. Check out the press release below for more. Continue reading Review: ANT-MAN 3D Blu-ray Combo Pack

The Star Wars Rebels Team

It has been all about Star Wars for me this past week. I’ve seen the movie twice and am eagerly anticipating playing the new The Force Awakens Play Set for Disney Infinity 3.0. I’m also excited to see the movie a couple more times. Once with Allison and once with Eva. Eva has been very excited about Star Wars and has watched Episodes 4-6 and 1. She is eagerly awaiting watching Episode 2 and I may hold off on Episode 3 until we can watch all of The Clone Wars together. I really think that that should be part of her Star Wars education. She asked Santa for a book of the original trilogy and I hope that she gets it because I love that she wants to read about this stuff and not just watch it on TV.

Not that there isn’t a ton of great TV for Star Wars right now like Star Wars Rebels. I recently got some Star Wars Rebels Micro Machines from the #ChooseLightSide program with Hunter PR and Hasbro. I got the two ships, The Ghost and The Phantom. So I wanted to get a group shot of the team plus these ships. Now. I just need to get my hands on a Chopper and an Ahsoka figure and I’ll be all set. And many a Rex figure as an old man. That would be good if they release that and the two new inquisitors. Continue reading Star Wars Weekend Roundup
