Academy Award Winner Reese Witherspoon stars in this inspirational true story from the director of Dallas Buyers Club and based on the best-selling book by Cheryl Strayed. After years of reckless behavior and being haunted by memories of her mother Bobbi (Academy Award Nominee Laura Dern), Cheryl (Witherspoon) makes a rash decision to embark on a challenging trek across the Pacific Crest Trail. With absolutely no experience, she sets out to hike more than a thousand miles all on her own - in what becomes a remarkable journey of self-discovery and redemption that strengthens and ultimately heals her.

RIVETING PFORMANCES
on November 13, 2015
Posted by: JOHNNYANGEL2010
Verified Purchase:Yes
We Oregonians tend to pride ourselves on our pioneer spirit, and there's probably no finer contemporary example than that of Cheryl Strayed. Wild is an unusually compelling film, one that ping pongs rather effortlessly between its travelogue elements and the somewhat more labyrinthine journey Strayed takes through her roiling psyche. The film has a rare feel of authenticity, one that is certainly aided and abetted by riveting performances by the Oscar nominated Witherspoon and Dern. Technical merits are outstanding, and the supplemental package is extremely enjoyable. Highly recommended.

MASTERFULLY PERFORMED
on November 13, 2015
Posted by: JOHNNYANGEL2010
Verified Purchase:Yes
Olive Kitteridge is a difficult, exhaustingly bleak miniseries, and not exactly one I'd recommend binge-watching in one sitting. (If you want to make it to the end without putting a bullet in your own mouth, that is.) However, it's a masterfully performed, written and shot production that's as powerful as it is poignant. Its depiction of chronic depression alone is uniquely authentic among television shows and its performances are worth every minute of your investment, even if you reach the end of the miniseries without any love whatsoever for any of the characters you've met. McDormand and Jenkins are especially strong, and deserve as much scene-stealing credit as one can muster. HBO's Blu-ray release is excellent as well, despite an unfortunate lack of special features. Its AV presentation more than makes up for the oversight, though. Recommended.

old but still recommended
on November 3, 2015
Posted by: JOHNNYANGEL2010
Verified Purchase:Yes
I can't recommend The Amityville Horror, because, despite the Blu-ray's technical merits, I don't think the film is worth anyone's time (except maybe as a historical artifact). However, if it ranks highly on your nostalgia scale, then I think this Blu-ray is about as good as it's going to get. I recognize that at least one user review has suggested that a future version could improve on the image, but I doubt it, unless -- and this could happen -- a new technology is created to synthesize a brand new, clean, "ideal-def" version of a movie from a film scan. If that ever happened, it would be the hi-def version of colorization, and I doubt it would be a favor to fans of Amityville. Some things are only charming because they're old. The more clearly you see this movie, the harder it'll be to overlook its considerable shortcomings

winning performances
on October 7, 2015
Posted by: JOHNNYANGEL2010
Verified Purchase:Yes
There are more engrossing dramas than Dallas Buyers Club competing for Best Picture. More remarkably cinematic experiences, more innovative biopics and more visually stunning productions. But there isn't a more moving or timely true story among them, nor one that more poignantly and effectively deals with an issue still very much at the center of social and political debate today: in this case, the right of a terminal patient to control his or her own medical treatment, regardless of FDA approval. And with McConaughey and Leto turning in award-winning, vanity-shunning performances, the film is only that much more powerful. Universal's Blu-ray release is worthy of praise too, although we're once again treated to a much too short, much too forgettable EPK-driven supplemental package. Fortunately, video and audio are dead on, meaning the Best Picture nominee looks and sounds like the potential winner it is.

unforgettable jude
on October 3, 2015
Posted by: JOHNNYANGEL2010
Verified Purchase:Yes
Dom Hemingway offers a tour de force performance by Jude Law, and if the rest of the film isn't quite up to Law's standards, that's a small price to pay for the incredible ferocity the actor brings to this role. This is humor at its darkest and therefore may not appeal to those who like more genial punchlines, but one way or the other, Dom Hemingway the character, if not the entire film, is unforgettable. Technical merits here are very strong and Dom Hemingway comes Recommended.

bad diaz
on October 3, 2015
Posted by: JOHNNYANGEL2010
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Counselor doesn't divulge its secrets easily, and in fact this is one film that virtually requires (at least) a second viewing. Filled with some low key but very effective performances (including a perhaps surprisingly nasty turn by the usually sweet Diaz), and boasting some admittedly flowery but unforgettable dialogue by McCarthy, the film is exciting and disturbing in about equal measure. It's not a typical genre film by any stretch of the imagination, but in my book that's a major compliment. The presentation here is virtually flawless and the three and a half hour hybrid commentary-featurette supplement is outstanding. Highly recommended.

For 19 year old Jay, fall should be about school, boys and weekends out at the lake. But after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter, she finds herself plagued by strange visions and the inescapable sense that someone, or something, is following her. Jay and her teenage friends must now find a way to escape the horrors that seem to be only a few steps behind in this critically-acclaimed chiller that Bloody Disgusting calls the scariest movie of 2015.

IT FOLLOWS IS MAGIC
on July 17, 2015
Posted by: JOHNNYANGEL2010
Verified Purchase:Yes
There's not enough praise one can bestow upon It Follows. It's a modern classic that fully understands and embraces everything that's good about the Horror genre (psychological scares, a refined script, moody photography, a creative yet familiar core idea) and leaves out everything that isn't (overwhelming/unnecessary gore, cheap jump scares, watered-down details, found footage). Every bit of the production is special. Everything works. Everything is magic. This is the best Horror film to come along in a long, long time and a film that needs to be at the top of every movie watcher's must-see list. Anchor Bay's Blu-ray release of It Follows features excellent video and audio. Supplements are few in number but satisfying. Very highly recommended.

BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED & WELL ACTED
on June 6, 2015
Posted by: JOHNNYANGEL2010
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Immigrant could have been a special movie, and it's often right there on the edge. It's beautifully crafted and very well acted but it too often rings shallow rather than overflows with depth and legitimate character journey. The movie's plot feels yanked straight out of a history text paragraph or two on Ellis Island immigration that strives to be more but never quite achieves a fuller, richer sense of purpose. Still, it's a worthwhile endeavor if only to become absorbed in the superficial beauty the film has to offer and to consider both what is (a movie on the cusp of greatness) and what could have been (a masterpiece). Anchor Bay's Blu-ray release of The Immigrant features excellent video and audio. Supplements include a commentary and a short featurette. Recommended.
