A Star is Born [4K Ultra-HD] [2018] [Blu-ray]

Worth money on buying this film just love ❤️ it great songs great story brilliant film

Fast delivery great film

It's been years since I saw the 1976 version, but I bought this after seeing Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper performing "Shallow". It's a great film, Bradley Cooper is a great actor and Lady Gaga surprised me with her ability. The singing, particularly of Lady Gaga, was magnificent. The story of the rise of a new singing star set against the troubles of her fading star mentor made for a fascinating tale. It's quite a sad story; a great addition to the list of remakes..

Definitely worth watching, came fast and packed well too.

Though the film is obviously not a remake it does of course follow the theme of the classic-story....It tells of how seasoned country-artist Jack Maine (Bradley Cooper) who these days needs a mixof alcohol and drugs to feel confident enough to perform on-stage comes across Ally (Lady Gaga)singing on stage in a nightclub he decided to visit to simply have a drink, Ally a restaurant workerhad once dreamed of a singing career but had long since given-up, though she still penned songsas a hobby.Jack is quite taken with her and asks her to spend the remainder of the evening in his company tohave a drink or two and get to know each other....the evening/night goes well,he invites her to cometo his show that evening...but she has a job to go to....................needless to say she does attend andto her surprise he invites her on-stage to perform a number with him.........though he has seen manywoman down the years he'd never before invited one to sing at one of his concerts.Romance follows, Ally quickly becomes a stand-out act in her own right....however Jack continues toself-destruct seemingly even more-so as Ally begins to eclipse her now husbands career.....................The film also stars screen-legend Sam Elliot as Jack's older half-brother, seems to me, though a fan ofSam Elliot he does always seem to play himself.Lady Gaga and indeed Bradley Cooper who also directs the film weren't first choice for a remake of AStar is Born.....both i have to say excel in their roles.Many like myself will have seen at least one if not more of the earlier versions and will indeed have afavourite....i can vaguely remember seeing the Judy Garland 1954 film on TV, i did see the BarbaraStreisand/Kris Kristofferson 1976 film in the cinema when on-release and again recently on network-TV......can't remember seeing the 1937 original on TV......................have to admit i do like the 1976 film,however this version does run it close................don't miss this one if you enjoy a great musical.

A******

One of last year's biggest box office successes gets to have its long-awaited blu-ray and DVD releases this week. "A star is born", both as a soundtrack and as a movie made me love Stefani Germanotta again (I call her by her real name because Lady Gaga is dead for this project). She simply slays with her performance in this project where she is the driving vehicle behind it. Brilliantly matched with co-star Bradley Cooper who is also directing, she IS the star of this remake which is what film-making is all about: escapism and dreaming. The rawness and vulnerability of her performance is so pure and engaging that one is convinced that she is not acting it but living it. She stunned viewers in "American horror story" with her emblematic character, but in this she shines brighter than she has ever done in her career to date (perhaps even more so than in music). The movie storyline is familiar to most, and despite some clichés, this remake is a winner on every level.Note: There are nearly 10 different official editions available on blu-ray and DVD, with some being really special (in the photos are the steelbook blu-ray, the UK DVD+CD combo, and the 4K Ultra HD editions).
