Based on the beloved best-selling book comes this profoundly moving story of a girl who transforms the lives of those around her during World War II, Germany. Although Liesel (Sophie Nelisse) is illiterate when she is adopted by a German couple (Oscar Winner Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson), her adoptive father encourages her to learn to read. Ultimately, the power of words helps Liesel and Max (Ben Schnetzer), a Jew hiding in the family's home, escape from the events unfolding around them in this extraordinary, acclaimed film directed by Brian Percival (DOWNTON ABBEY).

The experiences of a young girl in WWII Germany. This is not a "War Movie" it is a thoughtful view about the lives of ordinary people during wartime and how a young girl's life is shaped by her adopted family harboring a young Jewish man from the authorities.

Kubrick's Classic Sci Fi Sparkles in BluRay

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're a fan of great Sci fi or just great movies you need this in your collection if it isn't there already. Even considering that it was made in the late 60's it was revolutionary for its time and holds up very well in this age of over the top digital effects.

Fascinating

Verified Purchase:Yes
This story of an aging but not quite over the hill Hollywood actor trying to reinvent himself on the Broadway stage is an interesting piece of film making. There is a good reason it won the Oscar for Best Picture. As you watch Michael Keaton as the lead character you'll ask yourself "did that just happen or is it all in his head"...it doesn't matter...the end result is a fascinating film you will want to see again as soon as it ends, it's that good! A surprise Keaton was passed as Best Actor, his performance is incredible.

A must for fans.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great recent concert. Nice to see him in a big venue where he can really let his groove out. Great sound, played on my upscale system at "live concert levels" it rocked the house, great band too, the sidemen were all virtuoso's in their own right. Only four stars because of the editing. Maybe I'm being too critical but the editing or perhaps the cameraman seemed to focus on the wrong player when the other members of the band were taking their solos, give the players their due. Otherwise a great addition to my concert collection.

Good movie, a reboot of the series?
on January 9, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you saw "The Wolverine" you might expect something different from this after the teaser. If you are an XMan fan you will love this. good action, interesting premise, (BTW when did Kitty learn how to send someone's mind back in time to their earlier self?) Anyway SPOILER ALERT, Logan wakes up and Scott, Jean, and Xavier are still alive and things at the school are back to "normal" like the previous three didn't happen...well he did change history...

Good value, good sound.
on November 17, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got these to replace the ear buds that came with MY 8G Walkman that didn't fit me very well. I considered different ear buds but prefer headphones as the buds can sometimes be a nuisance and the thin wires break easily. These headphones seem to be built very well and have nice thick wires which should be a bit more durable, (almost 2mo. and still doing well), I just fold them up roll the wires and into the gym bag. The sound quality is surprisingly good. Not as rich sounding as the AKG Studio Monitors I use at home but what the hey, for inexpensive folding headphones quite nice indeed. They do not include a volume control as pictured but that wasn't a deal breaker for me. All in all if they ever do break I would certainly buy another pair.

Good Sound, Good Value

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased my Walkman to use in the gym, this is my first MP3 player so I did a fair amount of research before selecting the Walkman. I wasn't so concerned about a lot of storage so I went with the 8G . So far I have transferred a dozen or so CD's and a couple of hours of podcasts and still have lots of memory left. I will be deleting the podcasts and recycling with new so memory isn't a big deal. I find myself using the FM receiver too and it sounds very good. Overall the sound quality is very good, the equalizer presets work good but I have used the custom setting to set mine up, nice feature 2 custom EQ choices. All in all at a lot of less the cost of an iPod a very nice little unit.

One of Spielberg's best
on October 23, 2014
Posted by: KenK
from Saint Anne, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Close encounters...what else can you say. Certainly one of Spielberg's best movies, hard to believe it's 37yrs. old. Except for the older model cars and the older TV sets it hardly seems dated. I saw this in the theater when it first came out, and from the first "encounter" when the lights behind Richard Dreyfuss' utility truck began to rise I was hooked. No creepy bug eyed monsters, no nefarious alien plots to take over the world. Just awe and wonder and the feeling of what if...The BluRay version captures it all with the theatrical and Director's cut versions to boot. If you have the DVD think about replacing it, if not go for the BluRay and show it to your kids and grandkids, if they haven't experienced it yet it will blow their minds.

Great origin movie
on October 23, 2014
Posted by: KenK
from Saint Anne, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Captain America is certainly one of the iconic characters in The Marvel universe. This movie reveals his origin story perfectly. The special effects to turn Chris Evans into the puny Steve Rogers are just great and the extras showing the whole process really add to the whole experience. This is not just a superhero fan movie but something any fan of good filmmaking can enjoy. They recreate the look and feel of the war years beautifully, and the story works, holding your interest from start to finish.

iTunes
I am reading correctly that I can add songs from my iTunes account right?
Sure, I don't use iTunes myself but it is supposed to be completely compatible. I have been loading CD's from my collection by ripping them to my Windows Media Player, then its just drag drop and click sync.

When I use the in ear headphones, I get a headache
Which headphone would you recommend that I would not possibly get a headache with?
Many ear buds put pressure on your ear canal and this could be the problem. Some come with different size silicone adapters and smaller ear pieces might help this. On ear or over the ear phones could solve this by not inserting into the ear at all. Also be aware of the volume level, "live concert" levels could damage your hearing, which is why I bring ear plugs to concerts, if it gets too loud I can always pop them in and reduce the volume that way. If it hurts to listen it's too loud.

It is iTunes compatible although I have not used iTunes myself, I just download to my media player and drag and drop my selection into the Walkman, couldn't be easier
