Not a great Batman
on February 11, 2023
Posted by: GMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was either poor writing or poor casting. Pattison's Batman is too whiny for my taste. On top of that it was at least half an hour too long.

Renewed My Interest in Viking History
on October 22, 2022
Posted by: GMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I don't generally enjoy historical dramas because too many are poorly done or overly gory. This movie was better than I expected and got me back into learning about both Viking and Russian history. Also, it doesn't hurt that Anya Taylor-Joy, one of my favorite actresses, is in it!

Finishing the Mission
on September 11, 2022
Posted by: GMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
Having purchased all the original seasons of the Mission Impossible series and the Tom Cruise film series the 1980s seasons were all I needed to complete my collection. I was surprised at how entertaining this set was and it's at a better price than you'd expect. Will you accept the mission to watch this classic reboot?

A Cooper Classic
on September 11, 2022
Posted by: GMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie is up there with a handful of classic westerns. Few actors could do more by saying less than Gary Cooper and High Noon proves it. If you are a fan of westerns or classic Hollywood movies this is a must see film. The premise is a sheriff who's just gotten married and is retiring learns one of the men he put in jail has been released and is returning to town to seek revenge on him. Despite the entire town saying he should leave Will Kane (Cooper) is determined to make one last stand with or without the townspeoples' help.

A Good Product for the Price
on August 18, 2022
Posted by: GMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
When i bought my new computer i wanted to be able to watch movies. Since laptops no longer contain built in cd drives this was the cheapest alternative. It works really well for what i wanted. All i had to do was download some additional software. If you buy this item make sure when using it that you push the disk all the way down or it won't play correctly.

Good replacement laptop
on August 18, 2022
Posted by: GMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this computer after the hardware on my old one began to break. It was a good buy for a bit more than $400. The screen size and image coloring are among its best attributes.

Working to Complete the Series (One more to go)
on June 30, 2022
Posted by: GMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I loved this series when it was on NBC a few years ago, but I was unable to keep up with it. I decided to start buying them at the best available price and for this season the Best Buy price was it. This season is fun because Jane has recovered her memory and works to betray the FBI and complete her original mission. What will happen? You'll just have to buy the season to find out!

Mission Possible
on June 30, 2022
Posted by: GMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been working to complete the entire Mission Impossible series collection on disc for more than a year, and the main reason to buy this series was the low price. The movies are good action films though I'm not really a Tom Cruise fan. It's interesting to see the difference between the original Peter Graves version and the modern one

Norman Z. McLeod directs Bob Hope in the western comedy The Paleface, which comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.33:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. Spanish and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer, production notes, a sing-along, and footage of Hope performing before an appreciative crowd of soldiers round out this solid release from Universal.

A Fun Film for Jane Russell Fans
on January 20, 2022
Posted by: GMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
Last year I became a Jane Russell fan after reading a biography about her. I've seen several of her movies (and own about half a dozen). This is one of her more amusing roles playing opposite Bob Hope. The premise of the film is a bit zany, but it's a fun, fast paced 90 minutes. If you like old Hollywood and a semi-western you might want to watch this movie.

GMan's Answers
 

Is this Biopic factually correct, or is it embellished for dramatic effect? I would like to use it as a teaching tool, but, do not want to present it as factually correct if some parts are not true.

It's fairly close to accurate, but there are several embellishments. Also keep in mind that it really focuses on her work on the UGRR and almost totally ignores her time as a Union spy. If you're going to use it as a teaching tool maybe you should have a discussion with your class about the way biopics are always somewhat dramatized and how editorial decisions are made that significantly impact the film. Also, keep in mind some parents might object to some of the language. You also might want to encourage your students to do additional research on their own. A good book for this is Catherine Clinton's Tubman bio, but for those more advanced students maybe Kate Clifford Larson's bio (though it reads more like a thesis).

Can I load my CDs into the i Touch like I did for my iPod 80 gig device?

You can load your CDs via your iTunes then upload them onto your iPod. I was able to load all my CDs and still have a ton of left over space. It was a major upgrade from my old iPod Classic that only had 30 GB of memory.
