A rare misfire from Portman

Verified Purchase:Yes
The usually dependable Natalie Portman is grossly miscast in this uninspired western. May be worth a look, but keep your expectations low.

![Witness [Blu-ray] [1985]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/4489/4489308_sa.jpg)

Verified Purchase:Yes
With Harrison Ford's numerous forays into Indiana Jones and Star Wars territory, it's easy to overlooks this terrific 1985 drama with Ford playing a Philly cop trying to protect a young Amish boy, who witnessed a murder by another cop, and his mother. The storyline is relatively straightforward, but the understated (and never consummated) love story between Ford and Kelly McGillis is surpringly tender. An often overlooked classic.

Forget the bloated Stallone version, this is the way Judge Dredd should look. Why there hasn't been a sequel is beyond me.

Classic film gets a bit of polish
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: Gaspode
from Park Ridge, NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
John Boorman's excellent re-telling of the Arthurian legend looked gorgeous on the big screen, but on Blu-ray, it still looks great. Some wonderful performances, notably by Helen Mirren and Nicol Williamson (who steals the show), it's definitely worth a look, even three decades later.

Interesting film that deserves a second look
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: Gaspode

Verified Purchase:Yes
Not sure why this intriguing little film was consigned to the direct-to-video shelf, but it certainly deserves another look. The story and direction are a bit wonky at times, but Adrien Brody is eminently watchable. Well worth your time.

Nowhere near as good as the original
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: Gaspode
from Park Ridge, NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
With the massive success of The Walking Dead, a spin-off was all but inevitable, but sad to say, Fear the Walking Dead is nowhere near as good as the original. The cast is lackluster, the storylines are uninspired and the characters are frustrating to the extreme, along the lines of 'DON'T GO OUT THERE!' followed by a character doing exactly that. They deserve to be eaten, and soon.

A good movie damaged by hype
on May 8, 2016
Posted by: Gaspode
from Park Ridge, NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Okay, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a pretty good film, but with all the advance hype, you would have thought it was the Second Coming. There is a LOT to enjoy, particularly the fact that director JJ Abrams opted for some top-notch practical FX, rather than the previous George Lucas route of creating virtually everything (no pun intended) in the computer. There is a lot to recommend with The Force Awakens, but one can't help thinking a lot of it is just setup for the future.

Tarantino's latest film is a strange one to watch. The second half of the film is far superior to the first, but you have to get through the endless setup of the first half to fully enjoy the rest. The benefit of watching it on DVD for the first time is you can go back and check out all the bits and pieces you missed in the initial viewing!

An excellent, but overlooked film
on May 8, 2016
Posted by: Gaspode
from Park Ridge, NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Will Smith turns in one of his best acting performances in years, as a forensic neuropathologist investigating possible widespread brain damage in professional football. Even if you're not a football fan, the overriding storyline should be more than sufficient to pique your interest.

Excellent television adaptation

If you passed up The Last Kingdom (based on the excellent period novel by Bernard Cornwell) here's your chance to see it. Beautifully produced, with excellent production values, it's definitely worth your time.
