As every bit as emotionally involving and dramatically intense as "Band of Brothers", and maybe even better. It's also one of the most truthful mini-series ever shown on television. Absolutely imperative for the WWII buffs!

A really excellent underrated fantasy film
on December 1, 2017
Posted by: Excellent

Verified Purchase:Yes
Tim Burton's best film in decades, and a film adults will love as much as children. Eva Green is superb playing Miss Peregrine by balancing a personality of cold sternness without a bit of sentimentality. Don't miss this film, and don't listen to the naysayers.

An excellent animated film with a strong message
on December 1, 2017
Posted by: Excellent
from Daytona Beach, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
"Moana" is also a Disney production (its 56th), and is a computer animated film telling the story of a strong-willed daughter of a Polynesian tribal chief named Moana who sets sail across the Pacific in search of the legendary demigod Maui to save her people. Moana is perfectly voiced by 14-year-old Hawaiian high school freshman Auli'i Cravalho with Dwayne Johnson surprisingly cast as the voice of the god Maui. Based on Polynesian mythology stories, this is an amazing movie with wonderful songs and astonishing visuals that help to make it an extremely moving film experience for adults as well as children. It's unlikely this will beat "Zootopia" for the Oscar, but its beauty will probably leave viewers with a superior visual impression. (One strange footnote: in some European countries, the title and protagonist were renamed 'Vaiana' due to a copyright problem over a cosmetic company that owns the use of the name 'Moana'. In Italy the change was made due to a more serious problem: to avoid any association with a deceased adult actress named Moana Pozzi.)

A Masterpiece by Denis Villeneuve
on December 1, 2017
Posted by: Excellent
from Daytona Beach, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
My favorite film of 2015 is Canadian Denis Villeneuve's electrifying and morally-ambiguous portrait of the war against drugs on the border between the US and Mexico, "Sicario", a telling of the rite-of-passage of an idealistic and inexperienced FBI agent, superbly played by Emily Blunt, recruited to join a covert government team to bring down one of Mexico's most dangerous drug barons. She's accompanied by the team's leader, expertly played by Josh Brolin, a tough practical guy who believes the end justifies the means, and has no qualms about ignoring any laws that stand in his way. Also with them is a Mexican assassin played by Benicio Del Toro who has his own agenda. ("Sicario" derives from the Latin word, "Sicarius", meaning 'dagger man'; also 'hit man' in Spanish.) Villeneuve's past work comprises some of the finest films made the last few years (e.g., "Incendies", "Prisoners", and "Enemy") and "Sicario" is a tour-de-force of brilliant technique used to develop character as well as to encourage viewers into questioning their own moral choices in following proper laws or circumventing them for expediency. One critic called this film 'a punch to the gut' and it most certainly achieves that while never losing its grip on the audience, its action heightened by Roger Deakins' evocative cinematography utilizing the finest aerial tracking shots I have ever seen, along with crackerjack editing, and a pulse-pounding electronic music score by Icelandic composer, Jóhann Jóhannsson. Described by its director as "a dark poem," it is a tough, virtually perfect thriller that will stimulate your brain while gluing you to your seat.

Sergio Leone is famous more for his 'spaghetti westerns' but this one might actually stand as a superior work of art. At this price, who can go wrong?

A superb stylistic thriller that holds up today

David Fincher's early thriller still packs a wallop, and it's one of the great stylistic thrillers of its era. The Blu-ray is superb in its picture quality as well as its powerful 7.1 sound. A real bargain!

A masterpiece for the serious film viewer
on April 28, 2017
Posted by: Excellent
from Daytona Beach, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Martin Scorsese's "Silence" is one of 2016's most formidable films. For over 25 years, Scorsese has been obsessed with this story which follows two 17th-century Jesuit priests who travel from Portugal to Japan in search of their missing mentor during a time when Christianity was outlawed and their presence forbidden. Scorsese grew up in Manhattan's Little Italy section where both priests and gangsters lived around him, and his early goal was to become a priest before deciding on being a filmmaker. Consequently, both religion and violence would inform his entire body of work, from "Kundun" and "The Last Temptation of Christ" to "Taxi Driver" and "Goodfellas". But "Silence" is far from being a simple religious film about Christian faith; instead it reflects Scorsese's lifetime struggle with doubt, or, more accurately, the 'silence of God' -- a subject that had obsessed Ingmar Bergman as well (particularly in Bergman's early sixties trilogy, most specifically its central film, "Winter Light" -- a story of a small town priest who loses his faith). This is a visually stunning film with performances that are perfect -- especially Andrew Garfield as the protagonist priest Rodrigues, Liam Neeson as his mentor Ferreira, and Japanese actor Yôsuke Kubozuka (who plays the crazed Kichijiro as if he were a descendant of Toshiro Mifune's bandit in "Seven Samurai"). Viewing this film however brings with it a warning: It is not for the unseasoned filmgoer and very difficult for many viewers to enjoy or even to sit through. I found it compelling throughout but it moves inexorably slow as a silk caterpillar crawling along a sheet of glass. Stylistically, too, it is unlike anything Scorsese has given us before, the exact antithesis of his preceding film, "Wolf of Wall Street" which was profane in its crude 'fun' as well as paced like a music video, more exemplary of the rapidly vibrant editing style we've all become used to. I can't say strongly enough that "Silence" is a Serious Film, obviously made by Scorsese for himself alone without giving a single whit about what critics or audiences will think about it. At 74, he has earned that right. Here is an obsessively personal document of a great filmmaker approaching his own winter sleep. Perhaps Scorsese is Icarus flying too close to the sun but I think it likely that in fifty years from now when scholars take in his complete filmography, "Silence" -- no matter how tedious it might seem today -- will stand out as a masterpiece not unlike the Danish master filmmaker Carl Dreyer's late works, "Ordet" and "Gertrude". I certainly felt every single minute of this difficult, very trying film but I took something priceless away with me when I left the theater. I recommend it highly to the most serious and devout filmgoer. All others should best stay away.

A truly great audience picture
on April 21, 2017
Posted by: Excellent
from Daytona Beach, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
"Hidden Figures" has become a mammoth box-office hit and it may be the best audience picture of 2016. It's only the second feature from young Brooklyn producer and director, Theodore Melfi, who two years previously had directed the Bill Murray-Melissa McCarthy comedy, "St. Vincent", a 2015 Golden Globe nominee. Based on the best-selling non-fiction book by Margo Lee Shetterly, "Hidden Figures" tells the incredibly true if previously little-known story of how three black women mathematicians working for the US Space Program at the Langley Research Center in Virginia became essential in launching John Glenn into orbit. What makes this topnotch entertainment is how the screenplay easily injects humor and emotion into the drama set in a significant cultural time, as well as the performances by the three women: Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monáe, with Henson as the standout playing Katherine G. Johnson, a woman who was a veritable genius in calculating Glenn's flight trajectories. An added plus is that Kevin Costner, playing the director of the Space Task Group, is the best he's been in years. Though sometimes reminiscent of the great 1983 Philip Kaufman film, "The Right Stuff", this film's focus is centered more on the events occurring during the civil rights era when the African-American workers couldn't even use the same rest rooms as the whites. While not a work of cinema art, this is a film most audiences will take to their hearts. Highly recommended to all, but most especially to the older viewers who dust off their cardigan jackets and get out to the movies only once a year.

A worthy and beautiful animated film
on March 17, 2017
Posted by: Excellent
from Daytona Beach, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
While not as original or accomplished as "Zootopia", "Moana" is a beautiful tribute to the all-too-unknown Pacific Islanders and their meaningful folklore. It also contains some of the most beautiful imagery in animation in recent years. Especially relevant to young girls, this is recommended for all ages.

An Oliver Stone classic with MIchael Douglas

A 1987 classic by Oliver Stone that won an Oscar for Michael Douglas. It's kinetic, exciting, and an exciting movie if it seems slightly dated. Recommended!

I do not want my ink automatically re-ordered. I would almost never use colors, so they would probably just dry out from non use. That would be fine, because my use is black. It the color cartridge shows empty, would I be able to print in black?
I'm not an expert, but I'm fairly sure it will work if you just change some setting (you should call HP to find out how). As far as the ink automatically re-ordered, I've had that service for a few years (and I love it -- but I print more than most average people because I am president of a poetry society) and they only send a replacement when your ink gets down to a certain level, so they won't send you one if you don't need it (at least that's my own experience). As far as not printing in color, you get the most benefit from the service because it charges the same for color or black and white, so if you print only in black and white you are not taking the most advantage from the service. I'm not sure this instant ink service is right for you -- but it certainly is for people like me! I love it!
Call HP because they are so reasonable and have excellent customer service.
