A QUIET PLACE 2 MOVIE COLLECTION

Paramount Home Entertainment provided this blog with a free Blu-ray of A Quiet Place 2-Movie Collection

A QUIET PLACE was one of those movies I really wanted to see in a theater but never was never able to get around to it. Eventually, A QUIET PLACE  PART 2 arrive at theaters but since I hadn't seen the original and was still leery of going out to see movie because of pandemic I passed on that, but I really want to see both films. I'm finally going to watch both movies now that both films have just been released together in a 2-Movie Blu-ray + Digital pack for people to add to their home entertainment video libraries. Geeked for weekend of frightening fun enjoying this science fiction / horror saga.

A QUIET PLACE follows the Abbot family, Lee (John Krasinski), his wife Evelyn (Emily Brunt) and their children as they struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic world that has been devastated by extraterrestrial monsters that use sound to hunt humans as prey. These alien creatures are covered in armor-like skin that bullets just bounce off of. The Abbot's attempt to scavenge for supplies and lay low hiding from these predators without making any noise. Living a life without making noise isn't easy and eventually the Abbots have to confront these beasts because they find there is no place to run.

A QUIET PLACE PART 2 starts off showing the first days of the alien infestation that occurred before the story in the original film begins. It then time jumps to a point after the ending of A QUIET PLACE to show where the Abbot family is now following the conclusion of the first movie. In A QUIET PLACE 2, Lee and Evelyn decide they can no longer stay in isolation hoping to fend for themselves, so they take their kids on a quest to find fellow survivors to band together with. It is really quiet out in the world. Are there other people they can united with to work towards creating a safe future?

Both movies are rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for terror, violence and bloody/disturbing images. The Halloween season is approaching making this a great time to watch these movies at home for some terror-ific fun on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD or Digital. A great aspect of movies being released to home video is the bonus content included with the feature presentation. This two movie combo pack includes a variety of additional segments to compliment the movies.

Follow Krasinksi, who also directed the movies, on the set of A QUIET PLACE 2 as he details the cast and crew's incredible work in a video Director's Diary; uncover the secrets of the monstrous invaders in a "Pulling Back the Curtains" featurette; dig into the two-film character arc of daughter Regan in "Regan's Journey" short video; watch a breakdown of the exciting marina scene from the new movie; and find out how the movies' extraordinary visual and sound effects were accomplished in a video that provides a behind-the-scenes look.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Mary Poppins is Returning in a Brand New Movie

Here's a first glimpse of Golden Globe® winner Emily Blunt portraying Mary Poppins as filming has begun for MARY POPPINS RETURNS, the all new sequel to Disney’s 1964 film MARY POPPINS. Directed and produced by Rob Marshall, MARY POPPINS RETURNS also stars Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer and Julie Walters with Colin Firth and Meryl Streep. The original movie is a family favorite so we'll be looking forward to an outing at the cinema when this sequel arrives at theaters!

The film, which introduces three new Banks children, played by Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh and newcomer Joel Dawson, also features Dick Van Dyke and Angela Lansbury. The film is set in 1930s depression-era London (the time period of the original novels) and is drawn from the wealth of material in PL Travers’ additional seven books. In the story, Michael (Whishaw) and Jane (Mortimer) are now grown up, with Michael, his three children and their housekeeper, Ellen (Walters), living on Cherry Tree Lane. After Michael suffers a personal loss, the enigmatic nanny Mary Poppins (Blunt) re-enters the lives of the Banks family, and, along with the optimistic street lamplighter Jack (Miranda), uses her unique magical skills to help the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives. Mary Poppins also introduces the children to a new assortment of colorful and whimsical characters, including her eccentric cousin, Topsy (Streep).

MARY POPPINS RETURNS will be released in U.S. theaters on December 25, 2018!
