Great Remake
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga electrify the screen in A Star Is Born from Warner Bros. Pictures. Cooper, who also directed and co-wrote the screenplay, stars as Jackson Maine, a talented but troubled musician nearing the end of his career due to his age and alcoholism. After a performance one night, Jackson decides to stop at bar for a drink, and little does Jackson know his life will change when he lays eyes on Ally (Lady Gaga). A talented singer herself with some self-esteem issues, Ally is curious as to why Jackson is showing interest in her. However, with his charm, Jackson wins Ally over. Naturally, the two fall in love, and Jackson helps Ally make it in the troublesome world of the music industry. The central plot of A Star Is Borins not a new one as this is the third remake of a 1937 classic. The story is that of a crumbling superstar whose career is beginning to crumble due to drinking finds himself when he meets a young and beautiful talent. In all honesty, the story was due for a remake; however, unlike some recent remakes, Cooper’s version gets it right. From the moment Cooper takes the stage, I immediately saw Jackson the musician and not Bradley Cooper the actor. Throughout the film, Cooper takes us on a rollercoaster of emotions with his portrayal of Jackson. In terms of his directing, as a first timer, Cooper also does a fantastic job from his shot choices during the concert sequences to the subtle moments between Jackson and Ally. While I have not heard that much of Lady Gaga’s music, I have to say she does a phenomenal job in her first lead acting role. Given Lady Gaga’s superstar status, a non-casual moviegoer may make the mistake thinking that Gaga did not need to do much acting as Ally. However, just as with Cooper’s role of Jackson, the moment Gaga appears on screen, I saw Ally and not Lady Gaga. Throughout the film we watch Ally grow from shy talented singer to global superstar. Given that A Star Is Born is a musical, the soundtrack has to come to perfection, and while I am not normally into rock or country, I found myself nodding my head during numerous moments. The song “Shallow,” which is a key component in the film marketing campaign, is without a doubt going to be nominated come awards season, while the closing number the beautiful ballad “I’ll Never Love Again” just may become one of Lady Gaga’s signature songs. The chemistry between Cooper’s Jackson and Gaga’s Ally is also one of my favorite aspects of the film. The two have a genuine love story, and I found myself rooting for the duo the entire film. In hindsight, the chemistry is so good, I did not have even notice that three of the other strong performers are given little screen time. Sam Elliott as Jackson’s brother/manager; Andrew Dice Clay as Lorenzo, Ally’s dad; and Dave Chappelle as Noodles, Jackson’s friend all shine in their limited roles. The latest version of A Star Is Born succeeds not only as a beautiful love story but also as engaging musical. While I cannot say that A Star Is Born is the best movie for me of the fall season, I do highly recommend it.

Not at all what I expected... which is great!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife wanted to watch this one, so we picked it up for a movie night. I have to say that I was completely blown away by the talent shown in this flick. Cooper is a great actor, and was very believable as Jack... but what really surprised me was how good Lady Gaga was in this film. I knew she was talented as a singer, but that's obviously not the limits of her abilities and she sines in this movie. Sam Elliot... what more can you say about him that hasn't already been said? As Jack's brother Bobby, he nails this role. It seemed to me that Cooper deliberately spoke in a deeper voice to try and mimic Sam Elliot's natural tone, and there is a moment in the film where you realize that this not by mistake... because Jack looked up to Bobby and (figuratively and literally) stole his voice. This movie is basically about the music industry and how 'stars' are made, but the underlying story about families, love, a sometimes cruel and imperfect world, addiction, and the rise to fame and subsequent fallout that can happen from that really hooked me. It's certainly worth the price of admission... or in this case, cost of the discs. I'm sure we'll watch this one again and again over the years.

A Star Is Born Again
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the 4th film based on the A Star Is Born story and the 3rd using a musical plot. The 1937 film (Janet Gaynor & Frederic March) was about a fading actor bringing to stardom a new actress, while the other 3 films (1954 with Judy Garland & James Mason; 1976 with Barbara Streisand & Kris Kristofferson; and 2018 with Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper) where all about former superstar singers, who find female talent to bring to the spotlight. This 2018 version is also co-written and directed by Bradly Cooper, who gives an excellent performance in both his acting and the actual singing his own songs. There is also a very good acting performance by Lady Gaga in her debut on the feature film screen with one of her tunes receiving the Oscar for Best Song. It is probably the best of the 4 films because it delves into the individual characters equally well and has an outstanding soundtrack. it is Shakespearian in its tragic story, but uplifting in its musicality.

Say Shallow to My Little Fiend
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very powerful love story. Bradley Cooper has done an amazing job bringing this timeless story to life. Who'd a thunk, he can sing, growl, struggle with partially going deaf, and pee his pants. And that's only in front of the camera! In all seriousness, he's absolutely mesmerizing in front and behind the camera. This movie is all heart. you can feel it pulsating with bravado from the very opening frame. I love the way the concert action is done -- it never leaves the stage, or the wings. What really gets me the most is the undeniable chemistry between him and Stefani Germanotta (aka Lady (goo-goo) Gaga). Their love is so palpable. Their features placed in the gauntlet of love and war. They bare their souls and there's no artifice to fall back on... even as the story evolves into pop music territory. It was one of 2018's best movies -- but in all honesty, my favorite thing last year (outside of beach volleyball and yoga) was the trailer to this movie. And on a personal note, Bradley Cooper shoulda won over Rami Malek every single award they were both up against.

Not enough stars for this !
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This movie was awesome and it sounded awesome on all the complete magnolia everything hookups. Felt like I was there! Nevertheless, the most attractive and amazing thing about this movie for me was the love Alley had for Jack and vice versa! It was a true romantic or chick flick if u will but I absolutely enjoyed every bit of it . Typically I don’t pay much attention to lyrics but I did on this time I was way alert. I played the music videos at least four times before I felt it was getting way too late for me get up in the morning for work and be energetic. This is a great movie soo I recommend it if you have a great setup like I have been blessed to own it’ll make a world of an experience!!

Literally A Star Is Born
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A Star Is Born’ is the best movie I’ve ever seen. Bradley Cooper has captured the human side of a tragic love story. His characterization of Jackson Cooper as a musician and addict with a medical problem known only to his brother, played by Sam Elliott in his usual realistic fashion, together with the fabulous Lady Gaga as ‘Ally’ who doesn’t realize her talent is the epitome of acting perfection. This is the story of two people who fall deeply in love while sharing their love of music, discovering, tragically, that while her star is rising he is falling deeper into the chasm of addiction. So humanly portrayed and, as in real life, we sometimes have to suffer heartache and carry on alone. This is a move I will see again and again. The acting, the music and the love that gripped the audience almost ferociously. A winner in my books.

Emotional rollercoaster

Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow where can I start, this movie was truly a pleasant surprise Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga knock it out of the park, the acting and the emotion is truly top notch there are no wasted moments, the chemistry between Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga is uncanny, they truly carry this movie through and through the supporting cast also does an amazing job, there is so much heart and emotion in this movie also teaching you some life lessons along the way, it shows you that addiction is a horrible thing no matter what the addiction is,it also shows you how true love can be when you're fully committed and truly in love with someone.

A Star is born
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve watched this movie in Dolby Cinema, XD, and IMAX so I’m very excited to see how this will look and sound when it comes out!!! Being able to watch at home on my own 4K tv will once again be a chance for me to experience this film differently which is so exciting. A Star Is Born is absolutely phenomenal, saying you don’t like this movie? Sure fine everyone has wrong opinions but saying this movie is bad? That’s straight up ignorance. The acting? Phenomenal. The story? Phenomenal. The music? Phenomenal. The cinematography/directing? Phenomenal. This movie will soon make over $400M worldwide off of a $36M budget. There’s a reason for that, don’t let nay sayers stop you from seeing this movie. The hype is warranted because this movie is just that good.

Excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the fourth version of A Star is Born and it's up there with the best of them. Bradley Coooper's direction and acting are superb. Lady GaGa, in addition to being a world class singer, is now a first rate actress. Her performance here has earned her a well deserved Oscar nomination. In a gutsy move, she strips herself down to minimal makeup and her own natural hair color and she looks great. The camera loves her. There are some great songs, especially Shallow which will, no doubt, win the Best Song Oscar. It's one of the best songs that GaGa has ever written. Kudos also go the Sam Elliot (and a long overdue Oscar nod), Andrew Dice Clay and Dave Chapelle. The Dolby Vision image and Atmos audio are first rate. This one is a keeper.

Best movie ever!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This movie is epic with real live audiences from Lady GaGa's show & Willie Nelson's son playing at Glastonbury with Kris Kristofferson. Bradley Cooper learned to sing, play guitar, play piano, direct, rewrite the screenplay and edited the whole film. Took him over 2 years & you can really see the hard work he put into it. Lady GaGa has no make-up on, brown hair & plays the part perfectly!! This one is a must buy!! It's not a musical but it has great music in it written by Lady GaGa & Willie Nelson's son. Plus this is the extended version that has plenty of extras! The soundtrack is amazing as well! One warning, you'll need plenty of tissues, i don't care who you are, you WILL cry! Perfect film!

Awesome Drama Movie!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome drama movie! In "A Star Is Born," Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga fuse their considerable talents to depict the raw and passionate tale of Jack and Ally, two artistic souls coming together, on stage and in life. Theirs is a complex journey through the beauty and the heartbreak of a relationship struggling to survive. In this new take on the iconic love story, four-time Oscar nominee Cooper ("American Sniper," "American Hustle," "Silver Linings Playbook"), makes his directorial debut, and also stars alongside multiple award-winning, Oscar-nominated music superstar Gaga in her first leading role in a major motion picture.

A Movie Star Was Born
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review."A Star is Born" is everything you heard and more. It's a heartbreaking, masterful directorial debut by Bradley Cooper...just amazing to realize this is his FIRST directing job. He knew what the heck he was doing, and it shows. And he's just as brilliant as an actor here as he is a director. But the real, magnetic revelation is, of course, Lady Gaga. I'm a huge Gaga fan, and she knocked her leading role debut out of the stratosphere. You just watch slack-jawed at how stunning, self-assured, and heartbreaking she is in "A Star is Born". A movie star was definitely born.

A (Movie) Star Is Born!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I knew of the 70s adaptation starring Kristofferson and Streisand but have never seen it. I did know the story going in though. I have been a fan of Bradley Cooper since The Hangover and Lady Gaga from about the same time for her amazing music! I did watch her in "American Horror Story", where she was good, but they both took it to another level (or two) here! They both are virtually unrecognizable as they truly embody these characters. It was SO refreshing to see Gaga without the platinum hair and all the makeup! Oscar nominations for them and the movie so well deserved!! You will love this movie!!!

Well done, all around
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With two exceptions, this movie is a pleasure to watch. What are the two exceptions? First, the very first opening guitar solo. Hard rock, screeching, and annoying. I almist removed the DVD right then. It was way totally out of place in a soundtrack that was amazingly good. Second, it's difficult for me to sit through a movie when you know from the very start that the lead actor is descending toward a drug/alcohol laced ending. That really bums me out, especially where, as here, both leads are so likeable. Other than that, i really enjoyed this movie and the wonderful performances of Cooper and Gaga. (Reall?). The music was terrific, with one exception and the supporting cast strong. I didn't even recognize Andrew Dice Clay. Sam Elliot did a good Sam Elliot. What else can you say. Solid move. Good romantic storyline, enjoyable music, smart cinematography, and really impressive acting for the Gaga.
