Google Nexus - 7" - 32GB: With more pixels than an HDTV and a speedy quad-core processor, movies and images on this Nexus 7 tablet look razor-sharp and process quickly with little buffer time.

Google made all of the right improvements to the product, and the result is a significantly improved product for a marginally higher cost. Only time will tell if this unit suffers the same performance fate as the original model (for those not familiar, over time, the first generation tablets tended to quickly slow down and struggle to perform even basic tasks like browsing the internet). However, Android 4.3 feels ultra-smooth so far, and I am hoping that Google and Asus learned from their original mistakes.

I was in NYC in 1973. I love how this movie captures the grit, the noise and the feel of the city from that time. The soundtrack is edgy, haunting and almost disconcordant, but its a perfect match. Great performances especially when you consider the director didn't want Hackman or the Spanish actor who plays the Frenchman.

This movie was very interesting. It is a bit dated but definitely a good watch if you haven't already seen it. Personally I had never heard of this movie and wasn't sure how good it would be but I found myself pleasantly surprised. He is an excellent actor, and i loved seeing him play a different role.

The title of this review says it all. Shirley MacLaine, Debra Winger, Jack Nicholson...the entire cast was spot-on. This is a superbly-written script with outstanding acting from everyone involved. The movie deserved to win Best Picture, and will remain one of my all-time favorites.

![WWE: Legends of Mid-South Wrestling [3 Discs] [DVD] [2013]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/1484/1484683_sa.jpg)

Old School wrestling at its best, mid-south was a great breeding ground for the guys that became stars in other territories during the mid 80s. I would have given it 5 stars if the format would have been like other documentaries where it gave the complete mid south story from beginning to its end vs just kept jumping back and forth throughout. Highly recommended to the old rasslin fan.

Pacino did a fantastic job portraying Serpico, who selflessly struggled to reform and clean-up the NYPD. It shows how frustrating it must have been for Serpico to have so little support from his superiors on the force, and the toll it took on his personal life. A terrific expose of a dark, dark period in NYPD's history, and even more incredible given that the movie was made on a year or so after the events took place, when the force wasn't yet purged of the corruption.

![Young Frankenstein [Blu-ray] [1974]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/9063/9063283_sa.jpg)

This is Mel Brooks at his equal best with Blazing Saddles and proves his reputation as one of the all-time great comedy writers/directors/producers. Gene Wilder is perfect as the young Frankenstein and is surrounded by a super cast that helps bring this (and the monster) to life. I love Teri Garr in just about anything but this is Marty Feldman's movie. "Werewolf." "There, wolf." Superb.

What's great about it: A laugh a minute
What's not so great: Wish there was a Brooks commentary

Christopher Guest knows how to get the best from his company of improv geniuses. The comedy comes up and bites you and you are soon laughing and shaking your head and totally engaged in the lives of the silly people involved in the Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show. The usual suspects are here: Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Michael McKean, John Michael Higgins, Parker Posey, Bob Balaban and Jennifer Coolidge. This film made Jane Lynch a star. I have seen BEST IN SHOW at least 30 times and still laugh. A perfect mocumentary. As a fan of great comedy and a former student of improvisation, I can only bow in admiration for this great comedy team.

What's great about it: Improvisational acting at it's best.
What's not so great: A dry sense of humor helps to enjoy the film
