Middle-school music teacher Joe Gardner (voiced by Jamie Foxx) landed his dreamed-of gig with a legendary jazz band-and then promptly stepped into an open manhole. While comatose in the hospital, his stubborn consciousness winds up in a way station for unborn souls destined for Earth-and his salvation might hinge upon convincing a cynically disinterested soul (Tina Fey) that life's worth living. Inspirational Pixar effort co-stars the voices of Alice Braga, Richard Ayoade, Angela Bassett. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English Dolby Atmos, DTS HD 7.1 Master Audio, DVS stereo, Spanish DTS HD 7.1 Master Audio; Subtitles English (SDH), Spanish; audio commentary; deleted scenes; featurettes. Two-disc set.

One of the BEST Disney/Pixar Movies in a Long Time
on June 1, 2021
Posted by: Brian
Verified Purchase:Yes
I loved the concept for this movie when I heard it was being made. We saw it early on Disney+, but I wanted to own the 4K disk for maximum quality. Excellent! I highly recommend this movie and disk to anyone!

The first prehistoric family is ready for another rocking adventure! The Croods have survived fanged beasts, natural disasters, and even young love, but now they must face their biggest challenge yet another family! In search of a new home, the Croods discover a walled-in paradise created by the sophisticated Betterman family (emphasis on the InchbetterInch). As they try to coexist, the differences between the two families escalate into a full-blown feud, but when a new threat forces both families to embark on an epic adventure, they must all learn to work together... or they'll all go extinct! Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, and Peter Dinklage star in this hilarious animated comedy for the whole family!

Great Sequel to The Croods!
on March 27, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Croods was a fun film. Based on that, and not going to the theater these days, we decided to get The Croods - A New Age. We enjoyed it a lot, and purchased both the 4K disc and 3D blu ray disc. Looked great in our projection home theater 4K system!

The timeless Chinese folk tale of a heroic young woman who takes drastic measures to save her family and country is given an exciting animated treatment by the Disney studio. After her father is unable to answer a call to arms to battle the invading Huns, Mulan disguises herself as a man and enlists in the army. Ming-Na Wen supplies the voice of Mulan, with Eddie Murphy as her companion, a wisecracking little dragon named Mushu; other voices include B.D. Wong, Lea Salonga, and Donny Osmond. 88 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Great Family Favorite - now in 4K!
on February 17, 2021
Posted by: Brian
Verified Purchase:Yes
This has been a family favorite since our kids were little and we saw it in theaters. Our daughter (30) still hums some of the songs to her daughter! We owned the movie on DVD, which really doesn't hold up! We really enjoyed the new presentation!

With Imperial China invaded, impetuous Hua Mulan (Yifei Liu) made the choice of donning a man's armor and reporting in the place of her conscripted, infirm father (Tzi Ma). Maintaining her disguise as she distinguished herself in training, will her eventual discovery keep her from a fateful showdown with the warlord B~ri Khan (Jason Scott Lee)? Disney's thrill-packed live-action second pass at the heroine of legend also stars Donnie Yen, Gong LI, Yoson An, and Jet Li; Niki Caro directs. 115 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Great live-action version of Mulan!
on February 17, 2021
Posted by: Brian
Verified Purchase:Yes
Our family really enjoyed watching this film. We actually paid the $30.00 to Disney+ to watch initially. However, we did enjoy enough to purchase the 4K + Digital version, so we can easily watch again. I'm a stickler for getting a presentation with a minimum of data compression, and the 4K disk provides that best.

Great Action Film for 2021!
on February 7, 2021
Posted by: Brian
Verified Purchase:Yes
I just purchased this Tenet 4K HDR disk from Best Buy. The movie is a lot of fun, with great plot and action. I really enjoyed it.
Additionally, the quality of the 4K and HDR was awesome! One of the coolest parts was during most action sequences where the screen ratio went from ~2.4:1 (typ gray bars on top/bottom for theater presentation on 16:9 TV) to IMAX screen ratio (1.78:1, or fills the 16:9 screen). This is in the theatrical presentation. Note that this is NOT on the digital version of the movie, which is included in the purchase.
Fun!

The Smart Cover for iPad mini is constructed from a single piece of polyurethane to protect the front of your device. It automatically wakes your iPad when opened and puts it to sleep when closed. You can easily fold the Smart Cover into different positions to create a stand for reading, viewing, typing, or making FaceTime calls. And it's easy to remove, so you can snap it on and off whenever you want.

Best magnetic cover for iPad Mini 4/5

The best magnetic cover for iPad Mini!
This cover from Apple attaches magnetically, folds to provide a stand on a table, and also turns the screen on/off when opened/closed. This version covers both the new iPad Mini 5 and 4.
I have a black one for my 4, and purchased the navy for my 5.
Works exactly as advertised!

iPad mini is beloved for its size and capability. And now there are even more reasons to love it. The A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine. A 7.9" Retina display with True Tone. And Apple Pencil support, so you can capture your biggest ideas, wherever they come to you.

Great Tablet Replacement for my iPad 4 Mini
on December 5, 2020
Posted by: Brian
Verified Purchase:Yes
The iPad Mini 5 is a great tablet!
I own the iPad Mini 4, but I found I wanted to store more offline videos (grandkid!), and purchased the 256GB iPad Mini 5. Newer processor too, which helps with video-intensive apps like DJI Fly and DJI Go 4.
Great!

Great way to use Xfinity Stream app
on September 27, 2020
Posted by: Brian
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this to eliminate an Xfinity cable box in our bedroom. The Xfinity Stream app runs great, and allows all the content I'm paying for, including on demand, accessing recorded shows, etc. This device also has a lan connection, to improve on streaming if any wireless issues arise.
