We bought this for my mom as a gift and she really enjoyed it. Cohen's voice has been drifting from her office for days. If you know a fan of his, they will likely appreciate this new album too. Enjoy and happy listening!

We had really high hopes for this movie, having enjoyed the first part as much as we did. Unfortunately, we were rather disappointed. While the technical quality of the filmmaking was fine, we found the story to be poorly paced and the none of the new characters even remotely likeable. We didn't even enjoy hating the bad guys, as we did with the first. All in all, rather boring and not up to par with the first movie at all. Worth a rental maybe, but I wouldn't recommend taking up space on your shelf with this one...Blu-ray quality was excellent though, so that's something.

There are a surprising number of well done films running around out there, but every now and then one comes along that is truly special. I believe No Country for Old Men to be one of them. I'm a long time fan of the Coen Brothers and with only one exception, I have always enjoyed their work, whether it be their gritty dramas or their over the top comedies. Despite their excellent track record, this one really stands out among the others. Perhaps its because Cormac McCarthy's original book reads more like a screenplay than a novel, so his work tends to translate exceptionally well to the big screen. The performances by Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin and Tommy Lee Jones really bring the characters to life and I found myself becoming completely absorbed in their world. I bought the DVD as soon as it was available and while the picture quality was above average, the Blu-ray is a solid upgrade with sharp images and excellent colors, yet a fine layer of grain remains and it's very dreary when it needs to be. If I could only watch one Coen Brothers film again, this would surely be the title I would choose. Highly recommended...and please do check out the book as well. If you've read anything by McCarthy, you're in for a real treat!

Ben Affleck has surely come a long way over the years. I remember seeing him in Mallrats and thinking, "I like this guy...who the heck is he?!" Some time later he became quite popular and I grew to enjoy his performances even more. I think he shows equal talent as a director, so we really enjoyed this one. It kept us on the edge of our seats with great action scenes, but had more substance than the average shoot 'em up crime story, which is always welcome. Blu-ray quality was great with a nice clean image and no visible defects. I would definitely recommend this!

I think this might have been the first movie I saw by Mr. Tarantino and it made me a fan for life! I love Samuel Jackson, John Travolta and Uma Thurman so all three together in one film was a real treat. The Blu-ray provides a solid improvement over the DVD version. A must for any cineaste's library!

I didn't know what to expect from this one, but I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. The characters were all endearing, the story was fun, and the animation was outstanding! The Blu-ray provides amazing clarity and rich color saturation...all in all, an absolutely gorgeous image that really helped bring the Legos and their world to life. Highly recommended!
In addition to a presentation of the family classic The Wizard of Oz, this release includes the documentary The Making of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a look at not only the creation of the movie itself, but how it has remained an American classic for decades.

It seems silly to write a movie review about this one, so I'll focus on the disc itself. When we first put this in our Blu-ray player, it refused to play and seemed stuck in some type of infinite load cycle. We tried it another player and it started right up, so I assume it was my machine that was causing the problem. If you experience a similar issue, please be patient and give it the time it needs to get going. It will be worth the wait! The picture was absolutely gorgeous...clean, clear and sharp with amazing colors once you get to Oz. This is just a wonderful family film and one that is perfect for all ages!

I am a lover of all things Japan, with more movies and anime in my collection than I will probably be able to watch in my lifetime! So, I really enjoyed Kill Bill (both volumes, although I prefer volume 1) and the many nods to Japanese popular culture that Tarantino has included in both films. This is just a fun and well done movie, with completely unrealistic yet enjoyable sword fights between Uma and...well, pretty much everybody she comes in contact with! As for the disc, we got a nice upgrade over the DVD with clear images and rich color. Well done!

Based on most of this movie's other reviews, I must be one of the few people around who didn't really care for it. I loved Kevin Spacey (always do!) and if the film had focused solely on him and Jason Bateman I probably would have enjoyed it more. I usually like Jennifer Aniston, but I couldn't stand her character in this. I don't care for Colin Farrell, so that was another strike against it in my book. If you want to see a really great movie (also with Kevin Spacey) about a truly horrible boss, then check out Swimming with Sharks. It's far superior and much funnier, at least to me. I won't be checking out the sequel to this one...

Although this wasn't as thrilling or action packed as the first volume, Kill Bill Volume 2 is a must see for any Tarantino fan or lover of Japanese films! Uma Thurman is excellent and it's just so much fun watching her run around and kick butt. Is it realistic? No, of course not...but that's what makes it so enjoyable! As for the Blu-ray disc--it provides a nice, clear image with rich color saturation and no visible imperfections. Grab some popcorn and enjoy...but do make sure to watch Volume 1 first!
