![The Legend of Tarzan [Blu-ray] [2016]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5577/5577905_sa.jpg)

Now, this version of the Tarzan story is the bomb! (This means it was awesome.) Instead of telling a story of some white guy lording it over black savages of the jungle, this was done eloquently. The story is about an orphaned white male infant left alone in the jungle, not to be killed, but to be loved and cared for by a female ape. This John/Tarzan (as he was called) does come to realize his inheritance back in civilization, but his heart remained with the wonderful people and animals of the jungle. Not to leave out his wonder wife, Jane, whom he also met in the jungle. John/Tarzan begins his fight against slave traders in the Congo, but he doesn't do it alone. He wages war against the slave traders with the help of ALL his friends, human and animal alike, because he knew he couldn't possibly have accomplished this feat alone. In sum, it's a beautiful story about his love and loyalty to his family and the people (and animals) with whom he grew up. This movie is really heart-warming. However, it's hard to believe that none of it was filmed in Africa.

There is a lot that's good about this little TV. The picture is fantastic on mine...much better than expected. Very crisp and sharp. The color was a bit too intense and saturated but a little adjustment and it's now perfect. The TV is lightweight. I use mine in the kitchen and it tucks nicely into a corner.

![Miller's Crossing [Blu-ray] [1990]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6197/6197543_sa.jpg)

What you see in Miller's Crossing is not what you get, believe me. This film belongs to Gabriel Byrne who plays Tom Reagan. Tom is a hero, anti-hero, maybe, in this gangster film. The Coen Bros, those wonderful film guys, have written and directed this film. You can tell from the very beginning when this marvelous music overpowers you that a Coen film is here.
Tom Reagan is an assistant of sorts to Leo, played by Albert Finney. Leo is the crime boss, and the entire city revolves around him. Both Tom and Leo have an affinity for Verna, played by Marsha Gay Harden, though Leo is at first not aware of this. Jon Polito who plays Johnny Caspar, Leo's opposite. John has a thing for "business ethics.", which makes me laugh when you see his temper and his antics. One of the most interesting characters is Bernie Bernbaum, played by John Turrtora. A weasel loved by his sister, Verna, and for whom everything falls apart. The action is violent, beatings a plenty, gunfights a plenty, lots of booze, some sex, but nothing seen. A Coen film must be seen.

![Taxi Driver [40th Anniversary Edition] [Blu-ray] [1976]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5619/5619319_sa.jpg)
Posted by: Rocky

Taxi Driver is not an easy film to watch, it's both gritty and confronting at times, and the depiction of New York as an "open sewer" is pretty depressing. That said it is an important film in the history of cinema, not the least because it serves as an interesting glimpse of society in the time in which in was made. De Niro's performance is a standout, but all the actors play their parts extremely well. It's hard to come away unaffected by Taxi Driver, and to me that's the mark of a great film. The Blu-ray edition looks great considering the age of this film, though it's obviously not as sharp as recent releases. .

Based on actual events, Finkel's relentless pursuit of Longo's true story encompasses murder, love, deceit, and redemption.

Quite a different mood and looking stories in this series, but I really enjoyed it. Sherlock has become more sensitive and vulnerable and Joan is stronger and braver. Marcus is an open book and the captain's life is finally getting back on track. Ends on a cliffhanger so can't wait for season 6. Great sets, NYC location/atmosphere shots writing and wardrobe, well done.

I love this show and have been watching since it started. I think it is the best show on TV of its era, there is nothing else like it. The story, premise, themes and feelings are really innovative and unique compared to most television shows. Parts of it are Shakespearean while being suspenseful. With that said I have been kind of disappointed with Season 5 for the first few episodes because there seems to be not as much kinetic energy as the other seasons. Then I remember that this show never disappoints and this season is trying something new. All the best shows try something new every season and this season is a slow burner in every best way. Its a ticking bomb and everything is set up to explode and unravel by the end of it, leading us directly into a mayhem packed sixth and final season. With the extended cuts and internal conflicts only visible in the eyes, this season is slowing the show down, giving room for me to breath while embracing the remaining characters and their emotions before we witness their fate. I would recommend seeing this season after it all comes out so you can binge, the weekly watching of this "build-up season" makes you really want to see more as soon as possible. Get ready for the roller-coaster drop and an end of an era.

Season 4 is yet another in which skilled actors and a too-small staff of versatile writers are sometimes defeated by the producers' unwillingness or inability to obtain and spend the money that would make this series as good as it could and should be. Much of each episode consists of exciting, intelligent and deeply felt action and dialog. For example, scenes in the FBI offices and the Russian Embassy are wonderfully realistic and fascinating. But often they're followed by boring or disgusting, needlessly drawn out sequences in which characters stare morosely at each other, drive around slowly, vomit, hit others dozens of times, etc., far beyond what is necessary to make the scene's dramatic point and move the plot forward. The actors, all of whom are excellent, do their best with this intermittently thin material. But the result for viewers is a dispiriting see-saw between riveting drama and soporific filler created to feed the network the agreed upon number of viewing minutes in time for next week's episode. Once the season is on DVD, deadlines don't matter. But they do when the show is first broadcast. Quality suffers and scripts become uneven because a too small staff of writers constantly has to choose quantity over quality and deliver a set number of pages each week, regardless of how badly the weak scenes overshadow and tarnish the truly beautiful, exciting and memorable ones. Bottom line: This is a management problem; the staff is top-notch. Give them the headcount and financial support they need to consistently deliver the great shows they're clearly capable of.
