THE TOWN is a movie adaptation of a book I had read prior to seeing the DVD. (The producers changed the movie title from the original book title.) The film is entertaining , but because of time constraints the movie lacks the depth of emotions explored in the book.

This is a wonderful movie. It's hard to believe that so many years have gone by since Matt Damon and Ben Affleck began their film careers (and won Oscars) writing the movie's screenplay. This film is memorable because of the on-screen chemistry of Matt Damon and Robin Williams.
John Huston's big-screen adaptation of the Broadway smash Annie arrives on DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that fails to preserve the original theatrical aspect ratio of the film. Though fine for what it is, the full-frame transfer cramps the film in a way that will bother film lovers. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while French and Spanish soundtracks have been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Thai, and Korean subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a ten-minute featurette with the now grown Aileen Quinn, who discusses the wonderful time she had making the movie and how difficult the process of getting the part was. Another extra allows youngsters to sing along with the songs in the film. A music video from the Swedish pop band Play performing "It's the Hard-Knock Life," and a selection of trailers rounds out this release.

I saw ANNIE on Broadway years ago. Although the DVD of the movie ANNIE has the memorable songs of the Broadway show the movie is not as good as the Broadway version. Perhaps the new movie version scheduled for December 2014 release will offer a more entertaining slant on the ANNIE saga.
Return to the scene of the crime in ELEMENTARY THE SECOND SEASON, with all 24 gripping episodes collected on for the first time on DVD in this 6 disc collection. Jonny Lee Miller returns in this modern-day take on Sherlock Holmes, the dangerously eccentric consulting detective who's addicted to impossible cases. Lucy Liu stars as Dr. Joan Watson, his 'sober companion' turned partner in detection. Together, they take on some of the strangest crimes New York has ever seen as they assist the police in uncovering clues that unlock the city's sinister secrets. Only to the very sharpest minds do the incredible solutions seem elementary.

The Targus Stylus makes it easy to take notes, draw or simply turn a page. The stylus features a durable rubber tip that won't scratch the surface and allows the user to type accurately and comfortably. The stylus engages directly with your electronic, touch-screen device, requires no power or software to operate and instantly works right out of the box.

Purchased this product to replace my $20 (single) Nook (Barnes & Noble) stylus whose rubber tip had begun to tear apart after only several months. In contrast, the Targus stylus is easier to grip and its rubber tip seems to be more durable and the 3-pack is a good value, costing less than $20 for a one 3-pack. Would have preferred Targus had not incorporated a pen point at one end of stylus because pen cover at times slips off, exposing the pen point, when using the stylus point on my tablet.

Those fans who enjoyed the Veronica Mars series and were disappointed when it was cancelled will quickly become immersed in Veronica's "grown-up" adult adventures as an attorney who comes to the aid of her former high school friends.

Sandra Bullock certainly deserved winning an Academy Award for her performance in this film. Her strong performance reflects her empathy and compassion. This film is an excellent adaptation of the book (which is based on actual events)

This series has been thoroughly entertaining. The actors (including Academy Award winner Timothy Hutton) are very enjoyable to watch & they seem to be having a great time interacting with each other.

What's great about it: Sorry to see this series end. My comments below reflect my feelings.
Revered filmmaker Martin Scorsese directs the story of New York stockbroker Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio). from the American dream to corporate greed, Belfort goes from penny stocks and righteousness to IPOs and a life of corruption in the late 80s. Excess success and affluence in his early twenties as founder of the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont warranted Belfort the title - the Wolf of Wall Street. Money. Power. Women. Drugs. Temptations were for the taking and the threat of authority was irrelevant. For Jordan and his wolf pack, modesty was quickly deemed overrated and more was never enough.

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio have done an outstanding job of bringing the excesses of the greedy, self-indulged, obnoxious and self-centered Wall Streeters to the screen. I hope that future Jordan Belfort's learn to avoid the excesses and obnoxious behaviors depicted in this film.
This set contains every episode from the debut season of Veep, the HBO series that stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the Vice President of the United States who tries to become an important part of the political process, but always ends up in hot water.

The show is very funny, well written and wonderfully acted. Julia is very versatile and HBO deserves kudos for giving her this opportunity to shine. She is the only cast member of Seinfeld to have succeeded in post-Seinfeld TV.
