A strong script and great acting bring the movie to life. I don't know that I can recall a movie quite like Forrest Gump. I felt the full range of emotions, but humor is what stands out in my mind. I think you'll enjoy this movie.

The movie's story line is pretty standard; however, the execution of it is great. A very unique cast of characters set's this movie apart from any other movie of this type. Entertaining for everyone in the family.

Picture and sound are unique. The action sequences exciting. The story line and plot twists are thought provoking. A glimpse into our future? Cruise is excellent as are the supporting cast.
Steve McQueen, Richard Crenna, Candice Bergen. Hostility mounts after a new crew member arrives on a U.S. ship patrolling China's Yangtze River in 1926. The winner of eight Oscar nominations including Best Picture and Best Actor (McQueen), this epic now boasts commentaries, a making-ofInch featurette and much more! 1966/color/179 min/NR.

I first watched the Sand Pebbles at the movies back in 1966 when I wasn't even a teenager yet. I can now better appreciate the great acting performance by Steve McQueen because the movie allows for him to show his wide range in playing the character of Jake Holman. The drama takes place in a turbulent 1926 China aboard a USA gunboat, the USS San Pablo. The story is about how Jake Holman and the crew cope with the changing political climate and what action to take when in many cases there are no "good" choices. The Blu-ray release shows the beautiful cinematography, and includes special features.

What's great about it: Great blend of action and drama featuring Steve McQueen's best acting performance.
What's not so great: The film was released in the 1960's, so the portrayal of the Chinese reflected the times.

Needed an external drive because the built-in drive on my laptop failed. LG drive is very compact and thin. Worked flawlessly, and the included software on disc is simple but effective for my needs. Good value for the price.

Christopher Reeves leaps into action as the Man of Steel in Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie, and returns to battle the villainous General Zod (Terence Stamp) in Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, which features footage not seen in the film's original theatrical release, as well as newly shot footage and special effects.

Good collection of three Superman movies on Bluray

The triple feature Bluray includes the best two Superman movies I &2 with Christopher Reeve (my favorite Superman), and Superman Returns as the third feature. The first two movies feature great special effects in it's day, action, comedy, and drama. I enjoyed the chemistry between the Superman and Lois Lane. The significance of Superman Returns is that Superman is back as a "real" movie after a long time off the screen. Following Superman II, the Superman movies were not very good in my opinion, and with Superman Returns, the franchise tried to get back to a high standard of quality.

Musical adaptation of the classic love story Romeo and Juliet. My purchase was the remastered 50th Anniversary Edition, 4 disc collection on Blu-ray. The music, dances, and acting tell a beautiful but tragic tale of two young people in love. I can understand why Westside Story won Best Picture Oscar in 1961 as well as nine other Academy Awards. The remastered version on Blu-ray is visually spectacular.
