Miracle tells the story o the gold medal-winning 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, who were led by the flinty coach Herb Brooks -- portrayed in a good performance by Kurt Russell in the film. The movie is presented in an anamorphic widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. This two-disc set is loaded with supplemental materials including a commentary track recorded by director Gavin O'Connor, editor John Gilroy, and cinematographer Daniel Stoloff. They discuss many aspects of the production including the director's decision to cast the team with people who could actually play hockey. A making-of featurette, a look at how Kurt Russell met and absorbed the nuances of Herb Brooks (who passed away shortly before the film opened in theaters), a featurette on the sound design of the film, and outtakes round out this excellent release.

An inspiring Olympic event captured by Hollywood

I concur with every word that Miracle tells the story of the gold medal-winning 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, who were led by coach Herb Brooks -- portrayed by Kurt Russell in a believable performance. The costume designer deserves kudos for her spot-on fashions that make me glad the 80's are over. This is a feel good movie that can bring a tear to the eye as you gleam with pride at the way this group of young men, despite set-backs, strove to achieve the impossible. The movie is widescreen that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. This two-disc set is loaded with supplemental materials including a commentary track recorded by director Gavin O'Connor, editor John Gilroy, and cinematographer Daniel Stoloff. They discuss many aspects of the production including the director's decision to cast the team with people who could actually play hockey. A look at how Kurt Russell met and absorbed the nuances of Herb Brooks (who passed away shortly before the film opened in theaters), a feature on the sound design of the film, and outtakes round out this excellent release.

Great deal on quality ink

I have used this ink for years and it never fails to dry quickly and rarely, if ever, smears. The two pack is the way to go for it gives you a greater savings than when buying the single pack and black ink always runs out first before the color ink. Easy to install with no mess.

One of the best things about this ink is that the colors are true. No off hues when printed. I have resisted upgrading my printer because of the quality of this ink.

I bought this for my daughter who was moving into a new apartment and wanted something that would have better suction than the built in vac from her old apt. This was the winner! She used it immediately then called to tell me how great it vacuumed everything: pet hair, deep dirt, things that had been embedded in the carpet and it did a great job on tile in the kitchen and bath too. In addition, it was lightweight, easy to maneuver yet solid. Great price for a quality product!

What a relief to find a program that does not force you to save everything to the cloud and then lose all access to it if you do not keep subscribing to it. WordPerfect Office X8 solves that problem. Though adjustment to a similar but different format for word processing is necessary, it is not difficult.

Great reception with a small footprint

Verified Purchase:Yes
I live where cell phone service is non existent and my current boom box picks up one lone radio station. In my quest to find a radio that would function in the forest of trees surrounding me, I read the reviews and descriptions of other Best Buy products; and though I was skeptical, I journeyed to the closest store and investigated this little radio in person. When I saw how small it was I really had my doubts. The price seemed high for just a radio, but now it sits comfortably in the window over my kitchen sink and I can listen to a huge variety of stations without any interference or static. You get what you pay for. A real best buy from Best Buy.

Heavy Duty Non drip iron Huzzah!
on May 20, 2017
Posted by: colonialdame
Verified Purchase:Yes
Finally a heavy duty non-drip iron that heats up to a temperature that actually removes wrinkles from clothes and fabric. As a seamstress with arthritis I was afraid to buy a heavy iron because of the weight. But this iron's weight is sufficient to eradicate wrinkles without any extra effort from me. In addition, The 1800 watts of power makes ironing quick work. Also for sewing I like the fact that it has an automatic cut-off when not in constant use. HOWEVER the best feature for this arthritic seamstress is the push button selection guide located on the top of the handle. My previous shark iron had the dial located under the handle on the top of the iron itself. Whoever designed that dial selector ought to be fired. My previous shark iron with less wattage had that feature and it was a constant pain to adjust the settings.

Enjoy a breath of fresh air with this Insignia 4-inch mini fan. It has a quiet motor so that it doesn't disturb your working environment, and due to its small size and lunar rock finish, it's discreet. This Insignia 4-inch mini fan provides plenty of airflow despite its compact form factor.

small, quiet, but powerful

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this fan to create a draft from my living room window down the hallway to the open window in my son's bedroom to air it out while he was at school. It was the only fan that would fit completely in the window ledge. I had my doubts if it would be strong enough to move the air through but was I SURPRISED. Facing this little fan out his window pulled all of the odor out while drawing fresh air from the open living room window. I would have never believed this possible from the size of this fan.but it did it This fan is so quiet that it you need to have something less than a ceiling fan operating in your bedroom at night, this is perfect; just enough air circulation without annoying sound.

pot lid handle breaks
on November 26, 2016
Posted by: colonialdame
Verified Purchase:Yes
NOTE: I like this set for it is durable yet lightweight and cooks evenly. I would have ranked it 5 stars if the lids and their handles could be trusted not to break. The first time I used the dutch oven on top of the stove to boil water, I heard a pop and a crack and the handle on the glass lid popped off. I had followed all of the manufacturer's instructions, hand washing all pieces before use, and noting that the lids were not safe for oven temperatures above 325 degrees F. Well obviously they are not safe on top of the stove when the element is on HIGH. I transferred the boiling water to the second largest pot in the set put on its lid and brought the water to a boil on MEDIUM. That worked with no damage to the lid. Even so, now there is no lid for the dutch oven because the lids are not interchangeable with the frying pan, though it should be. I am waiting on the Gibson Company who imports this OSTER product from China to contact me about a new dutch oven lid. Thought it was a great value for the price but without dependable lids it may as well be a thrift store item.

Quality and beauty combined
on November 14, 2016
Posted by: colonialdame
Verified Purchase:Yes
This slow cooker is beautiful, practical and cooks evenly. And most importantly perfect for making dishes to go. The locking lid makes travel stress free. The size is perfect for most casseroles i.e.green bean casseroles, or baked chicken dishes, and the cookbook that comes with it explains how. The inset dish is heavy but the lightweight durable frame makes it easy to lift and carry. Also when traveling the extra weight helps to keep it from shifting. You can also use the inset dish to bake in the oven, like a sweet potato casserole, then transport with the frame and locking lid , and once you have reached your destination you can plug it in and reheat on warm if needed - saving your hostess' oven for her entrees and sides. If making soups or chili the shape is not conducive - deep round would be better but for the holiday bake and take this is superb! Well worth the money and easy clean up! I would have give it 5 stars if the inset was not as heavy and it was suitable for soups and stews. But other than that, it is a five star product.

Only at Best BuyCook quick meals with this Insignia microwave. An LED display and button panel lets you manage power and time settings, and a child safety lockout keeps the littlest chefs away from danger. The red casing makes a bold counter statement, and this Insignia microwave is compact for convenience in smaller kitchens or dorm rooms.
 

What size is the circular plate inside?

10 and 1/2 inches in diameter for actual surface, add about 3/4 inch more for the lip which keeps things from spilling over into the microwave if you over fill something.
