Hanks Gives Performance of His Career
on February 21, 2014
Posted by: Uptown1999
from Waukesha, WI
How Tom Hanks didn't receive an Academy Award nomination for his performance in Captain Phillips amazes me. He is that good in this film! Even though the outcome of this real life story is well known, this film does a terrific job building suspense all of the way up to the last moments. Definitely worth adding to any serious film lovers library. Superb audio and video as well.
My Best Buy number: 568090390
What's great about it: Great performance by a Hanks, terrific suspense
What's not so great: Nothing

One of the best films of the past 15 years and a terrific adaptation of the stage musical. This updated Bluray includes a remastered picture and upgraded sound to a 7.1 mix. However, it should be noted that a few of the extras from the previous Bluray release are missing and/or only available in Standard Definition.

What's great about it: Superb picture and 7.1 Sound
What's not so great: Missing a few of the extras in HD from the previous release

Verified Purchase:Yes
Seasons one and two of Game of a Thrones were the appetizer and the salad, season three is the main course.,Mathis is another excellent adaptation of Miller's books that bring the story to life. The casting is excellent as are the special effects and the swift pace of the storytelling. There is no doubt that this ranks among of the finest TV ever created.

![John Carter [2 Discs] [Blu-ray/DVD] [2012]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5422/5422066_sa.jpg)

This movie got lost in all of the talk around the budget and very poor trailers for the film. That being said it is not as bad as you may have heard. The special effects are great and the action set pieces are very well done. The ending, however, will seem very familiar to those who have seen Star Wars, Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

What's great about it: Excellent special effects
What's not so great: The end will seem familiar to sci-Fi fans

Jeremy Renner takes over for Matt Damon and does an excellent job. However, the plot drags a bit in spots and could probably have 15-20 minutes cut out to make it move along better. That being said,if you are a fan of the previous Bourne films you will enjoy this one as well.

This is a very good film, just not sure if it was the Best Picture of 2012 (my vote would go to Lincoln). That being said it is very well done, the acting is great and the plot if pretty intense. Ben Affleck has really come into his own--looking forward to what he does next!

Worth it alone for a stunning performance from John Goodman and the opening 30 minutes or so on the plane. John Good,an is also pretty great in this as well in a role that is a departure for him.

What's great about it: The opening 30 minutes.
What's not so great: The ending wraps things up a bit too neatly.

This was a big departure for Kevin Smith--a film about a family and the loss of a parent. Great performance by George Carlin. Very nice Echo Bridge release with good picture quality and a few nice extras. Recommended.
My Best Buy number: 568090390
What's great about it: Not your typical Kevin Smith film.
What's not so great: Nothing stands out as not so great.
