Ridley Scott

Thoughts/Words/Reviews:

Warner Brothers Blade Runner (Blu-ray) (Collector’s Edition)
Visually spectacular, intensely action-packed and powerfully prophetic since its debut, “Blade Runner” returns in Ridley Scott’s definitive Final Cut, including extended scenes and never-before-seen special effects. In a signature role as 21st-centurydetective Rick Deckard, (Harrison Ford) brings his masculine-yet-vulnerable presence to this stylish noir thriller. In a future of high-tech possibility soured by urban and social decay, Deckard hunts for fugitive, murderous replicants - and is drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul.

Attorney Michael Clayton is a ?fixer? the go-to guy when his powerful New York law firm wants a mess swept under the rug. But now he?s handed a crisis even he may not be able to fix. The firm?s top litigator in a $3-billion case has gone from advocate to whistleblower. And the more Michael tries to undo the damage the more he?s up against forces that put corporate survival over human life ? including Michael?s. George Clooney portrays Michael backed into a career corner that offers little room to fight free in this suspense- and star-packed thriller written and directed by Tony Gilroy (writer/co-writer of the Bourne movie trilogy). Keep your eyes on Michael Clayton. He has some life-or- death decisions to make. Fast.Format: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: DRAMA/PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMA UPC: 085391176244 Manufacturer No: 117624
