The Grinch [DVD] [2018]

Product Information

We're expected to swallow Whoville's introduction to the Grinch by way of stork, a love triangle with an old flame from grade school and the mayor of Whoville, and even a gratuitous car chase scene through town that ends in a Schwarzenegger-esque explosion. Looking for a way to show her loving, overworked single mother just how much she admires her, Cindy-Lou decides that this is the year she will finally meet Santa Claus so she can ask him to help.

It's a faded, washed out and flat mess, and the extras are all too short and broken up to be considered anything but average at best. Academy Award(R) nominee Benedict Cumberbatch lends his voice to the infamous Grinch, who lives a solitary life inside a cave on Mt.To enable personalised advertising (like interest-based ads), we may share your data with our marketing and advertising partners using cookies and other technologies. Fearing his tranquil existence will be disrupted, the Grinch decides to steal Christmas by posing as Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. I know that Universal was merely trying to port their HD-DVD catalogue titles to the Blu-ray format this year, but would it have killed them to give us a better transfer here? Even with all the bogus background fluff, if the 'come one come all, come see the amazing Carrey' showcase scenes had been removed, this actually could have been a semi-decent holiday film offering for the masses. When the Mayor issues a decree to make Christmas “three times bigger,” Bricklebaum is the most enthusiastic and happiest Who to comply, even going so far as to try and convince the Grinch to join the festivities.

It's also worth noting that this is a 'combo' package that includes the DVD, which I think is a very nice inclusion. His disdain for his neighbors down in Whoville is magnified every Christmas season when he is forced to endure their enthusiasm for togetherness, generosity and, worst of all, joy. Seussian Set Decoration - I found this to be a fairly interesting featurette (albeit short like all the rest), because if there's one thing this film did right, it was bringing the hand drawn world that was created by Dr. This film has more fluff stuffed into it than Whoville's coveted roast beast, leaving not a single ounce of integrity from the classic we all know and love left intact. Now, I'm not going to deny that this film could be enjoyable in a 'family movie night' setting however.

They all sound like they could be good on paper, but they're really not much more than short pieces that were probably used to promote the film. I know a lot of people have the childhood nostalgia for the Jim Carrey Grinch but if they removed the nostalgia and were really honest this is far far better and much more suited for all ages. mix sounds its fullest without question, and although a little more on the low end frequency range would have been nice, the mix that's available is presented as well as could be expected.

Obviously my opinion of Howard's translation isn't very positive, but I should come clean with you about something: I actually used to enjoy this film quite a bit. track is certainly adequate enough to present the source without issue, but the mix leaves a lot to be desired.

Howard takes a once short and simple tale and turns it into a long-winded, self-indulgent 105 minutes, and he throws every imaginable piece of uninspired storyline fluff at us to be able to do so. We also sell a wide range of refurbished Mobile Phones and Tech from major brands like Apple, Samsung, Sony, Microsoft and much more. So, does Howard's vision of the nasty green outcast of society get a nice 75-90 minute presentation? Extras: Language(s): English, Hungarian, Hard of Hearing Subtitles: English, Subtitles: Bulgarian, Arabic, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Norwegian, Polish, Swedish, Turkish, Icelandic, Interactive Menu, Screen ratio 1:1. Small spoiler: it's also one of the few movies where it shows how exhausting it can be to be a single mum without insisting she has to be in a couple to be happy and forcing her to find a man to be happy.

The Grinch’s closest neighbor, Bricklebaum is everything the Grinch is not: joyful, kind and full of holiday spirit. Meanwhile, down in Who-ville, Cindy-Lou Who--a young girl overflowing with holiday cheer--plots with her gang of friends to trap Santa Claus as he makes his Christmas Eve rounds so that she can thank him for help for her overworked single mother. Extras: Anamorphic (16:9), Language(s): English, Hard of Hearing Subtitles: English, Interactive Menu, Screen ratio 1:2. Who School - More interviews and behind the scenes footage, this time showing the process of what it took to become a 'Who' in the film. As if muddy blacks weren't a big enough problem, this Blu-ray sports the same noise and macro-blocking issues the HD-DVD did.
