Very good family movie

Verified Purchase:Yes
A Disney/Marvel collaboration that is a heart-warming and humor-filled story that children and adults alike can enjoy and appreciate. The screenplay does a good job of laying the back story for the adventure and the visuals are great. This is a very well made movie that uses terms and ideas of real robotics research. The story centers on a 14-year-old genius named Hiro Hamada who lives in the city of San Fransokyo and is too smart for school. His life changes when a tragedy strikes and he must apply himself and work with his new found friend, Baymax to solve the crime.

"Don't Call Me Shirley"
on March 7, 2015
Posted by: matineeidol
from Sacramento, California
Verified Purchase:Yes
A clever, funny parody of 1970 disaster movies with so many jokes packed into each and every scene. The visual and sound effects are even gags. A model plane is used that is so fake it's hilarious and a prop plane sound effect is used even though the plane is obviously a jet.
Blu-ray widescreen 1.85:1 aspect ratio, overall sound and picture quality good with some dirt and debris visible, special features included.

Fashion is vicious.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The film parodies the serious competitions, tensions, dramas, and back-stabbings which exist in the fashion and magazine publishing industries. Streep, Hathaway, Blunt and Tucci give good performances.
Blu-ray widescreen 1.85:1 aspect ratio, no special features.

Biopic
on March 7, 2015
Posted by: matineeidol
from Sacramento, California
Verified Purchase:Yes
3.5 star film
A civil rights story told through the eyes of a slave who became a White House Butler that served 8 presidents, over 3 decades. The historical civil rights facts are somewhat spotty and disjointed but the movie shows how these changes affected this man’s life and family. I remember where I was on the dates of many of these events. Sentimentally told with an all star cast.

The Magical Mystical properties of food and love
on March 7, 2015
Posted by: matineeidol
from Sacramento, California
Verified Purchase:Yes
4 star movie, 3 star blu ray.
"Like Water for Chocolate" is based upon the novel, "Como Agua Para Chocolate" which is a South American idiom used to describe someone who is sexually frustrated, and there is certainly plenty of that here. The novel and screenplay were written by Laura Esquivel, and the film is directed by Laura Esquivel's husband, Alfonso Arau. This is a multi-sensory experience of a tale of forbidden love centered around the preparation and eating of food.
Blu-ray, picture quality is average, could be better, dvd appears to have some missing scenes, Widescreen 1.85:1 aspect ratio, No special features.
