Solid but not exceptional
on April 10, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a good movie about World War I, a war that doesn't get much coverage in film or TV. I liked the fact that the main character was the director's relative and the camera angles added a ton to the production. I would have enjoyed seeing a bit more than just the one mission and that's the main downside of the film.

Solid TV

We bought this TV just in time for the Super Bowl and it was awesome to see the game in that size and vivid color! It was also easy to set up and nice to have all the apps that our five or six year old TV didn't offer anymore. It's even better when you watch blu rays on the big screen with the color though not having a 4HD image for discs or cable is a shortcoming since the cable company still isn't doing that yet.

This was a fast paced movie. It held together better than the earlier one with several exciting twists and turns. I haven't read the books yet, but I'm hoping they're as good as the films.

Good Historical Movie but Some Missing Parts
on March 2, 2020
Posted by: GMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really enjoyed this film when I don't usually like biopics. It does a great job illustrating her work on the Underground Railroad without overexaggerating it. You really feel for her when she finds her husband has remarried and when her sister won't come with her. After all she's risked her life just to come free them.
I only had two complaints about the film. First I'm sure she never confronted her master as in that scene near the end because he certainly never would have let her go. Second, I wish they had done more with her time as a Union spy. It seems that was very important and she helped free more slaves there than all her work on the UGRR.
If you want a good biopic I highly recommend this one.

Film Noir at Its Average
on March 1, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
The only redeeming element of this movie can be summed in one word: Jane. Her performance is solid and the key to the whole movie. Her presence even decades later is as electrifying as any of her other films and is the reason for buying it.

There are TV lawyers and then there's Matlock. Folksy yet aggressive, Harvard educated but still down to earth-Andy Griffith's portrayal of the clever Southern attorney is one of the all-time classic icons of television legal dramas. Fans who have followed the show for all of it's nine seasons will be thrilled to revisit how the program began. They'll also be surprised at how much the show changed over the years, while some things remained the same throughout it's storied run. From his simple gray Ford to his predilection for hot dogs, Matlock came across as both a personable and humorous character whose $100,000 fee was always worth the dough. Along with Tyler Hudson (Kene Holliday) and Matlock's daughter Charlene (Lori Lethan), the first season established the that the show would follow throughout it's time on the air. The cases no one could solve, the clients no one could help, and the scandals no one could uncover are all deftly handled by Matlock and his team. For those who have never seen the show, this collection will clarify the program's immense popularity, while longtime fans will get to take a trip back in time and be reminded of why the fell in love in the first place. Includes 24 episodes plus the original pilot. Star Andy Griffith, Michael Durrell, Kene Holliday, Linda Purl, Lori Lethan Special Features Region 1 7-Disc Set Full Frame - 1.33 Audio Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround English Runtime 1140 minutes.

Great Intro to Classic Courtroom Series
on March 1, 2020
Posted by: GMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I grew up on Matlock watching it every afternoon on TBS. The first season has a number of great episodes including two of my favorites "The Sisters" and "The Judge." I enjoy reliving those memories and for the low price it's well worth it. Hoping to get the rest of the series in the near future.

No case can protect your iPod if you can't carry it with you. That's why Griffin made Survivor Skin.. Survivor Skin is extra-thick silicone cladding that wraps protectively around your iPod, yet is slim enough in profile to fit easily in and out of your pocket. Survivor Skin's durable silicone protects the back, sides and edges of your iPod from impacts and vibration. The smooth, matte textured exterior is easy to grip, and custom molded for a precise fit. A molded interior provides extra shock absorption. Edge cutouts provide access to controls, headphone jack and dock connector, and raised button covers keep grit and moisture away from buttons and controls. Front and back camera ports keep your iPod ready for action.How protective is Survivor Skin? An independent testing agency applied standards for impact resistance due to drops set by the U.S. Department of Defense (MIL-STD-810G) and tested Survivor Skin for Shock/Drop and Vibration. They gave its silicone and savvy engineering tougher tests than you will ever subject it to. It performed. Spectacularly. The Tests: Shock/Drop: An independent testing agency repeatedly dropped a Survivor Skin-clad iPod onto a concrete floor from a height of 6 ft. (That's higher than you will ever drop it from while standing.)Vibration: The test subjected Survivor Skin and iPod to 18 hrs of bone-shaking vibration, from 20 to 2000 cycles per second. (Imagine leaving your iPod on the floor of your car all day while you negotiate under-construction roads at top speed.)

Nice but Expensive

Verified Purchase:Yes
They don't really make cases for the iPod touch like they did for the classic, but this is a nice cover. It's more expensive than it should be for a simple piece of rubber and it doesn't include a face cover either glass or plastic which is even more expensive.

Nice Features but Some Issues
on February 29, 2020
Posted by: GMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed to replace my old iPod classic and this was the one I chose. It has a ton of memory so I was able to put all my iTunes material on it and have lots of space left over. I love that you can shuffle your songs with any items. The only reason this review isn't five stars is because the touch doesn't put all your music together under artists. I have a number of albums that weren't listed under the artist name though they are all there. That makes it tougher to find when I want to listen to it.

If You Like War Movies...
on February 28, 2020
Posted by: GMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was very excited to see this film. We recently bought a 65 inch TV and with the surround sound it was an awesome experience. It's especially great that they start the film years before the war to show the background that most people don't know. I haven't enjoyed a war movie that much in a long time so if you're a fan of the genre you should buy this film

Bad Boys I and II are featured in this special digitally enhanced collection. Former video director Michael Bay had his first big hit with the 1995 action comedy, which also returned producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson to the big-budget, high-violence movies that they successfully churned out in the '80s. Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are two Miami cops who watch as 100 million dollars in heroin, from the biggest drug bust of their careers, is stolen out of the basement of police headquarters. This puts them hot on the trail of French drug lord Fouchet (Tch~ky Karyo), who leaves a trail of bodies in his wake and only one witness, Julie Mott (T~a Leoni), who quickly teams up with our heroes. In the 2003 sequel, Burnett and Lowrey have been assigned to head up a task force to investigate the illegal trafficking of ecstasy into the city. They discover that an underground gang war has been instigated by drug kingpin Johnny Tapia (Jordi Molla). In order to cut off the flow of the designer drug, they have to take down Tapia.

I've been watching these movies since I was a teenager. I'm thrilled they're on blu ray together. The sound and picture quality is great and it makes me want to see the new one.

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).
