Blu-ray. Academy Award Winners Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts star in the darkly hilarious and deeply touching story of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose lives converge when a family crisis brings them back to the Midwest house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional mother who raised them. Based on Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name, Director John Wells skillfully translates from stage to screen, leading an all-star cast that includes Ewan McGregor, Chris Cooper, Abigail Breslin, Benedict Cumberbatch, Juliette Lewis, Margo Martindale, Dermot Mulroney, Julianne Nicholson, Sam Shepard and Misty Upham.

Not what we expected.

This is a very well made and acted movie. No problems with the technical side of things. Be warned though, this film is not for everyone. Very harsh portrayal of a family with a long history of problems. Don't let the picture on the cover fool you. This is not a feel-good, warm and fuzzy story of family reconciliation. It is just the opposite. Many times during the movie I just wanted to turn it off. The only thing that kept me going was the excellent performances by Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts in what must have been difficult roles. If you want something that will leave you happy, watch Nebraska.

What's great about it: The cast.
What's not so great: The story.

Decent set for fans of these movies
on April 25, 2014
Posted by: x273659
from Albuquerque, NM
Romancing the Stone is a classic. Jewel, not so much. Picked this up on sale to upgrade my DVD set. The picture quality is a step up on this set but the audio is not so great. (Most likely due to the source material). Glad I bought it all the same.
My Best Buy number: 575310580
What's great about it: Get both movies on blu-ray in one package
What's not so great: Both movies could have looked and sounded better

Outnumbered and outgunned, but not outmatched.Call of Duty: Ghosts is an extraordinary step forward for one of the largest entertainment franchises of all-time. This new chapter in the Call of Duty franchise features a new dynamic where players are on the side of a crippled nation fighting not for freedom, or liberty, but simply to survive.Fueling this all-new Call of Duty experience, the franchise's new next-gen engine delivers stunning levels of immersion and performance, all while maintaining the speed and fluidity of 60 frames-per-second across all platforms.

What's great about it: Good fun, Challenging, Gorgeos on PS4
What's not so great: More of the same COD

Good but not as fun as Red

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like Red. Red 2 continues the story and takes it to Europe to stop a madman bent on destruction. Anthony Hopkins and Malkovich turn in wonderful performances but the rest of the cast is just okay. Overall 2 is still entertaining, just not as fun as the original.

Great Comedy

Posted by: x273659

This is one of my favorite comedies. The comic magic of Steve Martin and Michael Caine is Fantastic! It is a shame they have never done another movie together. This classic is now on blu-ray and it looks great!
What's great about it: Caine and Martin,

Actually, I purchased the 4 year Geek Squad protection for this when I bought it a couple of months ago so it is available through Best Buy.

Can you buy a tv base after removing it to mount on wall?

You should check with your TV's manufacturer. They will most likely sell you one.

Designed for use with a variety home automation and entertainment devices, this Logitech Harmony Elite 915-000256 remote allows easy control through closed cabinets or walls for flexible use. The remote works with Alexa, and the Harmony mobile app supports simple on-to-go operation.
 

What size are the rechargeable batteries? (AA, AAA, etc.)

The Harmony Elite remotes use one rechargeable lithium ion battery. I am not sure of the exact part number but it is not your standard AA or AAA configuration.

Bluetooth control?

Does the Elite issue Bluetooth commands? Newer devices (Samsung TVs, Amazon FireTv, etc) use Bluetooth remote controls instead of (or in combination with) IR & IP (wifi) commands.
Yes. The Harmony Elite sends signals to the Harmony HUB which then transmits via Bluetooth to my PS4. Works like a champ.
