Enjoyed the film BUT WHERE IS THE DVD?
on March 23, 2014
Posted by: CKCSWHFFAN
from home
I was looking forward to watching this film. Being a Disney and "Mary Poppins" film fan.
Two two time Oscar winners in the cast.
I enjoyed the film & following the story along. EVEN if some of this may be just for the film.
I will be honest and say I was not real happy with Tom's work as Walt. He did not even try to get the voice. Like Disney fans do not know Walt's voice.
Good job by Emma & Paul Giamatti
I did not need ll the Colin Farrell scenes, a bit much.
Really enjoyed seeing "Disneyland" it the film. I wanted to see how much work they would have to do to make the film look like early 1960’s. So, they did not show that much. Mickey at the front of the park, some of Main Street & the merry go round.
Now, Disney, why did this NOT come out in a blu ray and DVD package? I was totally disappointed in that, meaning I have to buy another package just to get the DVD.
Needed more Making Of extras. I did like the one they had talking to Richard Sherman among others.
So, I enjoyed the film BUT DISAPPOINTED AT THIS FOR NOT MAKING A BLU RAY AND DVD PACKAGE.
My Best Buy number: 0569804118
What's not so great: no DVD included
I would recommend this to a friend!

Enjoyed the film mistakes in blu ray package
on March 23, 2014
Posted by: CKCSWHFFAN

It surprised everyone how well this film did at the box office.
First Disney film that has had a successful soundtrack in years.
I enjoyed the film. Couple of times I thought I was watching "Pocahontas" due to the music in two scenes.
Beautiful animation.
Beautiful animation.
Now, here are the problems I have with this:
This film was so successful BUT Disney did NOT release a 3D edition to this? 2013's "Planes" that was not successful at the box office got a 3D blu ray release, but not this huge film? Makes no sense & beware: they will release one in the future.

I like to watch “Making Of” specials on DVD's & blu rays, so I wanted to watch this one. Spoiler alert: NOT ONE HERE, A MISLEADING BIT. The bit WOULD have worked for me IF the Making Of actually followed it. But no making one & I will NOT be watching that on this package again.
So, enjoyed the film but disappointed in this blu ray package.

Never read the book saw it for Harrison
on February 25, 2014
Posted by: CKCSWHFFAN
from home
As a fan and collector of Harrison's for over 30 years I USED to be first in line opening day for his films.
I have never read the book this is based on. To be honest, I had never heard of it.
I thought the special effects were a bit much, over done and not realistic looking.
Spoiler, it took quite a bit of time to bring Oscar winner Ben Kingsley into the film.
Harrison, Ben and Viola Davis did good jobs with their roles and this is not to be surprised. Oscar winner & two Oscar nominees
Good extras on this package.
For fans of the stars and fans of sci fi or the book.

Love the film & the music
on February 15, 2014

This is one of my favorite Disney films
Has my favorite Disney song, Louis Prima's "I Wanna Be Like You".
Has my favorite Disney song, Louis Prima's "I Wanna Be Like You".
Still a beautiful looking film. Good to see in blu ray & in wide screen.
Here is another good selling point for this package: We get an extra with the late Diane Disney Miller months after her death, with Richard Sherman & Floyd Norman.
Has older extras from previous DVD release
Now-here is where I am unhappy. Two extras that are, well, why are they here or just plain BAD.
They do a bit on Disney's Animal Kingdom. No problem with that on here BUT. It has a teenage boy & a young girl who went to OVER ACTING SCHOOL Just plain bad, I has trying to prevent myself from throwing up watching these two over act BADLY.
Then, there is an extra that has NOTHING to do with the film at all. You wonder why it is here at all. About animation but has NOTHING to do with the film, future ideas called Spark. Does not belong here.
The cheap no art work on the blu ray or DVD's Disney does now. Just plain cheap.
Love the movie, good to see Diane one last time. Those two bad extras are the down point to this package.

Good film, needs new extras
on December 8, 2013
Posted by: CKCSWHFFAN
from home
When the film was released in 1983 it did not do well at the box office. I remember that
It is a good film, funny. Stands the test of time thirty years after it’s release
Grown into a big deal at Christmas time to watch it. How the status of the film has grown
Good to have the film wide screen here
My complaint is the extras are old. Thirty year anniversary as I input this and it featured an extra from the twenty year edition of the film
I see no difference from the DVD versions & this blu ray
If you are a fan of the film get this just remember if you have previous editions of the film on DVD you already have the extras

Good film but I have a point to make
on December 8, 2013
Posted by: CKCSWHFFAN
from home
I have always enjoyed the film
I watch it every Halloween & Christmas season
It holds up The film has grown in status
Now, I have a bone to pick on this. You can make a joke at my choice of words
This film has been released MULTIPLE times now on DVD & blu ray And, twice on 3D blu ray What the? Example, the 1992 huge Disney hit, Oscar winning "Aladdin"was only released on DVD once. Disney completely missed 2012 for the 20th anniversary & their advertising material said it was to come out early in 2013 but did NOT A huge of a film "Aladdin" was & still no blu ray on this but Nightmare has been released how many times?
Same extras on this as in previous releases which is another disappointment
Good film, good music, just take a break Disney & Tim Burton on releasing this over & over again

I am not a super hero fan. I like some of the previous Batman & Superman films. Adam West's Batman & Linda Carter's Wonder Woman that is my super hero interests
I wanted to see this film because I am a fan of Russell, Kevin & Amy.
I was so disappointed in this film.
1. All the jumping back & forth in the story from the past to present day. Got so confusing
2. General Zod A disappointment compared to Terrance Stamps version The villains in my mind did not live up to the first two Christopher Reeve films
3. NO chemistry between Lois & Superman NONE
4. All the buildings being knocked down Excuse me, anyone heard of 9-11-01?
Most people will not agree with my views, fine. Just did not care for this film.

Funny film BUT where are the new extras?
on December 8, 2013
Posted by: CKCSWHFFAN
from home
The film has held up over the years
Still funny
Still funny
Two actors who had smaller roles Julia Louis-Dreyfus & Johnny Galecki went on to huge TV fame
Difference in picture none between DVD & blu ray
Now, here is what I am disappointed about with this package.
OK, the Vacation films have been released multiple times on VHS, laser, DVD & now blu ray.
The product packing does NOT mention Johnny Galecki in it with "The Big Bang Theory" a top 5 show BUT it mentions Juliette Lewis who has not done a thing in years & her success was in this film & in the 1990's
Same commentary used on other releases Disappointing
If you are a fan of the film & want this on blu ray then buy it The extras, unless you do NOT have a previous release of the film you will be just as disappointed as I am

Well, can we blame George since he sold to Disney.
Being a Star Wars collector for over 33 years we veterans know how many times he released the first 3 films on video tape & laser disc. He held off for a while releasing to DVD then when he did you had to watch out. Over and over again released.
It took to 2011 to get the films on blu ray. The nine disc set then the 2 blu ray sets of the 2 sets of films.
Now, here we are. Release AGAIN on blu ray but the difference DVD's included because we veterans do NOT have the films enough on DVD.

No special extras on this set.
If you are a collector, like me, you will purchase this set. Otherwise, you can get better blu ray & DVD sets of the films than this one.

![Keeping Up with the Kardashians: The Complete Third Season [2 Discs] [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/1864/18649515_sa.jpg)
The Kardashian sisters feel the impact of celebrity in this season, when Khloé must deal with the very public aftermath of her DUI, while Kim and Kourtney contend with sibling rivalry as their professional and personal relationships blur.
Overall4 out of 5
4 out of 5Guilty pleasure, MUCH IMPROVED OVER SEASON 2
By CKCSWHFFAN
from home
Yes, the show is a guilty pleasure.
Episodes that aired in 2009. 12 episodes this season
Now, THE IMPROVEMENTS. 1. The episodes are wide screen, 2. Disc 1 has deleted scenes & 3. Disc 2 has commentary for episodes. Why not with each episode-no clue about that. But it is MUCH better than the blog from Rob on season 2.
Now, this time out apparently there are ONLY 3 Kardashians in this season. Kourtney, Kim & Khloe are only shown on both sides of the DVD case. BOTH discs have the same photo of them. So, they do NOT give credit to Kris, Bruce, Rob, Kendall & Kylie? Show is called Keeping Up With The Kardashians NOT Keeping Up With The Kardashian Sisters.
1 big mistake done again on this DVD. Same CHEAP, PLASTIC DVD CASE WITH THE INTENTIONAL HOLES IN IT. CHEAP & NOT SAFE. Apparently the DVD makers just want people to buy this over & over again since the DVD are NOT safely secure.
And, a point for anyone. There was MASS CONFUSION ABOUT THE RELEASE DATE OF THIS DVD. It was released 8-17-10. Some stores & websites changed the date until 9-21-10. THIS WAS UNTRUE. I purchased the DVD from a local store 8-18-10. So, make sure IF you want it check with the store. DO NOT GO BY PRINTED MATERIAL
