Western setting
Fitting end to the trilogy setting it in western works in my opinion my favourite of the two sequels. Both fox and Lloyd are excellent plus the rest of the cast especially mary steenburgen as browns love interest overall good movie good end to the trilogy
  

"I worked hard at German so that I could read Brecht, but was saved by watching his plays performed live at Mannheim by an excellent company. However, it was Marc Blitzstein’s 1954 translation of Threepenny Opera in a tiny theater off-Broadway that electrified me with “Mack the Knife” and “Pimp’s Ballad.”"

How Far Would You Go
Prisoners- is a excellent movie. Its very sad and depressing movie. It ask you the question of "how far would you go if your daughter gets kidnapped/missing"? "What whould you do"? Denis Villeneuve does a excellent job. The whole cast is excellent.

The plot: Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) faces a parent's worst nightmare when his 6-year-old daughter, Anna, and her friend go missing. The only lead is an old motorhome that had been parked on their street. The head of the investigation, Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal), arrests the driver (Paul Dano), but a lack of evidence forces Loki to release his only suspect. Dover, knowing that his daughter's life is at stake, decides that he has no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

Aaron Guzikowski wrote the script based on a short story he wrote, partially inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart", involving "a father whose kid was struck by a hit and run driver and then puts this guy in a well in his backyard". After he wrote the spec, many actors and directors entered and exited the project, including actors Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio and directors Antoine Fuqua and Bryan Singer.
Ultimately Guzikowski would credit producer Mark Wahlberg for getting the project on its feet, stating, "He was totally pivotal in getting the film made. That endorsement helped it getting the film made."

Its a excellent film.

On one of her visits to the surface, which are forbidden by her controlling father, King Triton, she falls for a human prince. Determined to be with her new love, Ariel makes a dangerous deal with the sea witch Ursula (Pat Carroll) to become human for three days. But when plans go awry for the star-crossed lovers, the king must make the ultimate sacrifice for his daughter.

Very good overall, just felt the pacing was a bit off in the latter half - would have liked to have spent more time with the events of the last chapter and epilogue rather than loads of chapters of battles, but that's me. Character progression was excellent, and overall I'd probably give the trilogy 8 stars.

Excellent Storyline
A True Masterpiece
This is easily one of my favourite films. The CGI is INCREDIBLE for 2001. Absolutely beautiful. Storyline was fantastic, and no previous knowledge of Final Fantasy to enjoy it, I'd barely heard of Final Fantasy before this movie. Highly recommend to sci-fi and anime fans alike.

Just Crap...
I expected this movie to be excellent, but what I got was dull, lifeless, and boring. Plot?! Here Plot! It was simply a guy stuffed in a tin can the size of a cupboard, who was on his way to Mars. However, nothing happened, absolutely nothing. A total snorefest, don't waste your time...

I really like that when someone supports the show, it’s to buy the hosts beer. They thank the listener who contributed and give a quick spotlight on what beer they’re drinking in that episode.
Production values are excellent
I like your jib!
