![John Wick [2 Discs] [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray/DVD] [2014]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/add2a1a5-e241-4bc4-bf92-3042924ed446.jpg)

John Wick Begins
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: Deanabear
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the first in a series of films that all basically have one running plot line. An assassin for hire (Keanu Reeves), now retired, is grieving over the loss of his wife. Her final gift given him, his beloved dog, is killed by Russian mobsters, which kick starts the adventure. Being one who knows how to really hold a grudge, John Wick comes out of retirement and goes on a rampage to avenge himself. The real plot, however, revolves around the does and don't and the privileges of the assassins guild he is a member of. His attitude about the rules in this case leads him into trouble, which is the continuing plot of the second film John Wick 2. The bad guy body count is beyond the average person's ability to count, but then there are no good guys in this den of killers to feel remorse for. Well executed, fast action drama with very creative, choreographed, gun violence and other methods of removing the obstacles in his path.

Once Upon aTime in Hollywood
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: Deanabear
Verified Purchase:Yes
Quentin Tarantino enters the area of his own industry with this plot about a fading TV actor (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double (Brad Pitt) who strive to achieve fame and success in the film industry during the final years of Hollywood's Golden Age in 1969 L.A. The plot of this buddy comedy/drama revolves around the 2 actors trying to make a comeback, which gets them involved in the Italian spaghetti western industry. The protagonists (if there are any in a Tarantino film) in this Hollywood plot are interwoven casually with the members of the Manson gang at the time of the Sharon Tate murders. The names of the characters mix several real life (although deceased) individuals with the members of the fictional cast to bring historical notes to the competing plots. The characterizations aren't without controversy, but that is just what Tarantino does in all his films.

Shazam!
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: Deanabear
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a nod to the original Captain Marvel, not the new Disney version. Fawcett Comics was one of several successful comic book publishers during the 1940s. Following a trial in which DC Comics sued Fawcett Comics for breach of copyright, claiming Fawcett's Captain Marvel was too similar to Superman, the latter stopped publishing Captain Marvel in 1953. In the late 1960s Marvel comics gained the trademark "Captain Marvel" with their first series created by Stan Lee and Gene Colan. This character is an alien military officer of the Kree Imperial Militia, sent to observe the planet Earth as it is developing technology to travel into space. Mar-Vell wearies of his superiors' malicious intent and allies himself with Earth, and the Kree Empire brands him a traitor. Later after being revamped by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane the exiled Mar-Vell finds he can temporarily escape by exchanging atoms by means of special wristbands. He is given superpowers, and his Kree uniform is replaced with a form fitting costume. The process of the young man being replaced in a flash by the older superhero was a nod to the original Fawcett Captain Marvel, which had young Billy Batson saying the magic word "Shazam" to transform into the hero. This film is a revamped origin story with some twists as to the 1940's & 1960's story lines. It has lots of comic relief, mainly because it plays on the large learning curve being given a modern teenager who has instantly become an adult superhero.

Deadwood: the Movie
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: Deanabear
Verified Purchase:Yes
This 2019 feature film has all the characters of the original TV series working out their daily lives, while filling in and summarizing some of the plots that didn't get resolved in the final season. It also resurrects an old villain, who is the main antagonist, and whose presence becomes the main plot in this film. Will there be a loss of a main character? Watch and see for yourself. For the lovers of the original series this is a long awaited must!

Blackthorn aka Butch Cassidy
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: Deanabear
Verified Purchase:Yes
Did you ever wonder if Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid did die in that hail of bullets in Bolivia? Well, here is a story that gives another life to that tale in this 2011 western with the title role played by Sam Shepard. Interesting main plot of revenge and betrayal, that has nothing to do with Butch or Sundance, but their characters and what happens to them are spelled out as kind of a secondary plot line to main plot, which could have any savvy gunslinger as the lead.

The Big Country isn't big enough for them
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: Deanabear
Verified Purchase:Yes
This 1958 western has a top notch cast, with surprising reverse roles for Charlton Heston, Burl Ives and Chuck Connors, who usually are considered heroes rather than villains. The plot is centered around water rights feuds among ranchers. The hero, Gregory Peck, who is from the big city, doesn't believe in violence, and is labeled a coward. The women, Carroll Baker and Jean Simmons, find themselves involved in his on again off again romances. Who will ultimately prevail and solve the feud is spelled out over this 170 minute epic.

Hobbs & Shaw are Fast & Furious
on December 13, 2019
Posted by: Deanabear
Verified Purchase:Yes
A reteaming of Dwayne Johnson (Hobbs) and Jason Statham (Shaw) in this spin off from the Fate of the Furious franchise(#7&8). Although they would rather eat glass than work together, Hobbs and Shaw are forced to put aside their differences when a super enhanced villain threatens the future of humanity and Shaw's sister (an MI6 agent), when she and her team are attacked forcing her to inject a time release super-virus into herself to prevent it from falling into the hands of a terrorist organization. The race is on to save her and prevent the virus from infecting the world. Great action adventure and smack talk from our heroes.

The Lion King Almost Live
on November 9, 2019
Posted by: Deanabear
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is Disney's remake of the 1994 animated feature about the king of the jungle and his heir to the throne. This is not a live action feature, but a computer generated, animated film that looks like real animals are acting according to a script; being able to think and speak. Amazing CGI technology is show cased in this film, like the Disney Jungle Book remake, but the Lion King has no live actors in it. The story is the same, but it is new in the sense that you believe you have live animals actually acting out their parts. Well done!

Toy Story 4 and Beyond
on October 28, 2019
Posted by: Deanabear
Verified Purchase:Yes
Disney Pixar has a 4th installment in their Toy Story series with our beloved characters mostly intact after moving from Andy's House to a new playmate named Bonnie. The family embarks on a road trip after Bonnie creates a new play friend out of trash, named Forky, but he doesn't quite consider himself a toy, which is shades of the first film, when it was Buzz, who was confused. It is mostly Fory's confusion that leads the adventure and the other toys to work through the problems they encounter in an Antique shop and at a carnival, while on the new owner's vacation. All, of course, works out in the end, but watch for a surprise ending that will make you think there may not be a Toy Story 5.

West World the Movie
on October 22, 2019
Posted by: Deanabear
Verified Purchase:Yes
This 1973 Sci-Fi Western spawned the HBO TV series of the same name. It is less than 90 mins. long, but packs the thrills necessary to make it an important entry in this genre. The plot concerns an amusement park for adults where you can live out your wildest dreams in an old west life-like fantasy setting, allowing the high paying participants to let lose their inhibitions without the normal consequences if they were to do what they can do there to AI robots in the real world. Of course nothing is perfect in this debauched world of sin, and real justice prevails when a glitch in the computer program turns things upside down.

5 out of 5Man From Laramie
By Deanabear
This 1955 James Stewart western was one of the first to be filmed in Cinemascope. The plot has our hero Will Lockhart (Stewart) delivering supplies from Laramie to Coronado, a small remote town in Apache territory. However, his problem isn't with the Indians, but with the son of the autocratic owner of a large ranch outside of town. Will's cavalry brother had been killed in battle, and so he is quietly searching for someone who is selling repeating rifles to the Apaches. During his search a witness is found dead and Will is accused of it as well as stealing by the rancher's son. Things come to a head between the two in a fight for justice. Good Oater!!

The Desperadoes
April 5, 2020
The second film on this DVD is a 1943 Technicolor western stars Randolph Scott who is as a sheriff of a small town and is trying to find out who robbed the bank not knowing that it was an inside job. Cheyenne (Glenn Ford) rides into town having arrived too late to help rob the bank. He's in love with the saloon owner and gets a job breaking broncos at a ranch. The sheriff knows Cheyenne as a friend, but another bank robbery done as a set up to frame Cheyenne and his sidekick to hang. Steve busts him out and is put into jail himself, but is freed by Cheyenne. The two of them than set out to settle the score. An early Glenn Ford western with the role of an anti-hero. An oldie but a goodie.

Hi, I recently purchased the latest iPad (7th generation) and need to use word. I noticed that with the word available on the App Store I have to pay a monthly fee. If I made this one time purchase would it work on my iPad? Thanks
I have the Office Home & Student version, which says it is good for 1 PC or 1 Mac and the system requirements, besides Windows 10 for PCs, also says or macOS. If your iPad has the macOS on it, then yes! Ask the store tech guy for a second opinion or go to the Microsoft web site to confirm before you buy.
