JOY is the wild story of a family across four generations centered on the girl who becomes the woman who founds a business dynasty and becomes a matriarch in her own right. Betrayal, treachery, the loss of innocence and the scars of love, pave the road in this intense emotional and human comedy about becoming a true boss of family and enterprise facing a world of unforgiving commerce. Allies become adversaries and adversaries become allies, both inside and outside the family, as Joy's inner life and fierce imagination carry her through the storm she faces. Jennifer Lawrence stars, with Robert de Niro, Bradley Cooper, Edgar Ramirez, Isabella Rossellini, Diane Ladd, and Virginia Madsen. Like David O. Russell's previous films, Joy defies genre to tell a story of family, loyalty, and love.

Good Blind Buy
on November 17, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
Found this one after another deep dive into the Best Buy bargain bin. Bought it thinking my wife would like it, although I had never heard of it. Actually pretty good, we both liked it and Jennifer Lawrence is great along with some A-list supporting players . Great video and audio at a bargain price..

Nice Budget Buy
on November 17, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
Found it in the Best Buy bargain bin. Although not the recent remastered release, the video and audio are more than adequate for this dated, corny story and two very watchable stars. Some of Dunaway's fashion outfits are a hoot. Well worth a purchase if you like the movie.

With their respective desperate needs to fly out of Boise-despite adverse weather predictions-photojournalist Alex Martin (Kate Winslet) and surgeon Ben Bass (Idris Elba) agreed to split the cost of chartering a puddle-jumper. Tragic fate, however, causes them to go down in a wintery mountain range-and the mismatched companions must lean on each other in a harrowing, seemingly impossible trek back to civilization. Gripping survival tale adapted from the Charles Smith novel co-stars Beau Bridges, Dermot Mulroney. 112 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio, DVS 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English (SDH), Spanish, French; featurettes; deleted scenes; audio commentary. Two-disc set.

Breathtaking Cinematography.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The location cinematography is just breathtaking and the Blu-ray does it full justice along with terrific sound. The story of two plane crash victims surviving on a freezing mountain range in the dead of winter is a stretch. just how did they light all those fires with sodden wood and did they carry lighters if neither was a smoker, we may never know! Winslet and Elba do a fine job though. Well worth a buy at the low Best Buy price.

Better Than Reviews I've Seen
on November 9, 2018
Posted by: Mike550
from Dallas, TX, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
When released this movie didn't get the greatest reviews. With Best Buy offering this at a very low price I purchased the Blu-Ray and am very glad I did. Johnny Depp does an excellent job portraying Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger. It doesn't delve very deeply into what drove him to be so viscious and since it was made before his capture (and recent demise), the story is of course incomplete.
The Blu-Ray video and audio are good, not outstanding but in no way detract from enjoyable viewing. All Depp fans should buy it.

Great for Dash-Cams

Verified Purchase:Yes
Selected this micro card for my dash-cam to resist damage due to the high heat generated on auto windshield. Although cheaper cards are available I feel confident in purchasing this product specifically designed for such duty.

CIA agent Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) and black ops specialist Alejandro Gillick (Benicio Del Toro) plan to further the war between the Mexican drug cartels in the hopes it will stop Islamic terrorists from being brought into the U.S. over the border. They kidnap the daughter (Isabela Moner) of one of the cartel bosses, but when Gillick refuses Graver's order to execute her, the two comrades find themselves on opposite sides of a very deadly conflict. Jeffrey Donovan, Catherine Keener co-star in this thrilling sequel. 122 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Terrific Sequel to SICARIO (2015)

Verified Purchase:Yes
An intense story of the fight against illegal smuggling along the Texas border. If you liked SICARIO (2015) this is a must buy. Great video and 7.1 ATMOS audio.

More Drama than Action
on September 28, 2018
Posted by: Mike550
from Dallas, TX, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's a well made movie, but the story focus is more about the dilemma of the Israeli government, deciding how to respond than the actual raid. There is also a recurring theme of an Israeli dance company which I found distracting. The Blu-ray has excellent audio and video.
