Great movie.

Great movie with great performances-an all time classic. The 4K transfer is great as well. Worth upgrading if you just have the blu ray.

Revenge, Tony Scott's 1990 tale of adultery and backstabbing comes to DVD with this no frills release. For a film with such a little following, an abundance of extras would probably seem wasted, so it's no surprise that the best the disc has to offer in the way of extras is a theatrical trailer. Still, with interactive menus and both widescreen 2.35:1 and standard 1.33:1 transfers, fans should find it to be an adequate DVD. On the audio end, the disc features Dolby Digital Surround tracks in English, French, and Spanish. Subtitles in all three languages are also included.

DVD version is the better cut.

Tony Scott's Revenge is on overlooked, underrated movie that stars Kevin Costner, Anthony Quinn and Madeline Stowe. All 3 are terrific in this film. The dvd contains the original theatrical version which in my opinion is much better than the Blu Ray's director's cut, which doesn't include the theatrical cut. The director's cut is much shorter and cuts too much out of the film. If you're looking to purchase this movie the dvd is the way to go in this case.

When Vietnam vet John Rambo returns home, he struggles to shut off his troubled memories and traumas, setting the stage for a violent conflict with the unsuspecting law enforcement tasked with subduing him. This definitive box set brings together every entry into the iconic Rambo franchise in one action-packed collection. Included are First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo III, Rambo, and Rambo: Last Blood.

Great set for Rambo fans

One of the best action franchises of all time looks as good as ever in this 4K set. All 5 movies are included in individual steelbook inside a larger steel case. This is a must have for Rambo fans who don't already own these movies on 4K.

Best this classic has ever looked!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Everyone should know by now what Psycho is about so I won't get into the plot, but if you don't own this movie on home video yet then I would recommend the 4K release. The picture is very impressive, especially for a 60 year old movie. The movie itself was shot in black and white but the picture is pretty sharp overall. Great movie that still holds up today-A.

From executive producer Tom Hanks, the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers tells the story of a collection of soldiers from the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Armed Forces, also known as "Easy Company", during World War II. The ten-episode story spans from 1942 during the group's training to the conclusion of fighting in Europe, and focuses on the experiences and tribulations of the individuals fighting for the Stars and Stripes in addition to important events such as D-Day and the liberation of Holocaust survivors. The series features stars including Damian Lewis (Homeland), Ron Livingston (Office Space), Donnie Wahlberg and Michael Fassbender.

Realistic look at WWII
on September 23, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
Band of Brothers is a 10 part mini series that follow one regiment through their battles and experiences through World War 2. It's based on a true story and aired on HBO...
The show was really well done as you would expect from a show produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. It's more of a dramatic telling of these young men's experiences and not just a bunch of battles each episode. When there are battles they are very realistic and believable. The show also starts of with brief interviews from some of the men who lived through the war...
The show has a good ensemble cast with good performances, led mainly by Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston. There are a ton of appearances from actors who would go on to be big stars like Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Tom Hardy...
The picture quality of the Blu Rays is great, especially for a television show. The special features are good as well. There's a full length documentary told from the men who inspired the show, a series of video diaries taken by Ron Livingston, and more. This is a show that will definitely please both movie and tv buffs as well as history buffs...A

Cult Classic but not for all tastes.

The Fifth Element is an entertaining action sci-fi adventure directed by Luc Besson and starring Bruce Willis. For a movie made in the 90's the visual effects are impressive. The cast is equally impressive, with Willis in his prime. Milla Jovovich is great in the title role. Gary Oldman is always a good villain and he does a good job once again in this one. Chris Tucker shows up later in the movie and is funny if not a bit over the top...
This movie won't be for all tastes. It is loaded with comedy and some people probably won't connect with the humor-particularly Chris Tucker's character. But if you're a fan of the stars and Besson's directing style you'll enjoy this one...
The 4K quality of this movie is great. There are plenty of visuals to show off the format. It is a bit grainy at times. The movie is over 20 years old and the picture won't compare as well with newer movies, but overall it's a great looking and sounding movie...A-

Classic comedy
on September 22, 2019
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
Foul Play is an overlooked comedy classic. It's not a laugh out loud type of comedy you would expect from an early Chevy Chase movie, but Goldie Hawn is at her best in this one. Chase is good in his first major role but this isn't Clark Griswold from the Vacation movies. There are moments that will make you see why he would go on to do more goofy comedy roles, but for the most part he's pretty tame in this one. He and Hawn are good together and would go on to costar in Seems Like Old Times a couple of years later. The supporting cast is great with Brian Dennehy, Burgess Meredith, and Dudley Moore in a very funny smaller role. The two old ladies playing Scrabble is one of the funniest parts of the movie...
The only smaller gripes I have about the movie are it's 2 hour run time, which is a bit long for a comedy in my opinion, and some people who have never seen the movie may find the it a bit dated. But if your a fan of the cast this one is a must-see...
The DVD itself is nothing special-just the movie. No special features on this one...B-

Great movie!

Fans of the MCU won't be disappointed to this conclusion of the 11 year Marvel saga. The MCU will continue after this movie but Endgame wraps up all the storylines nicely. The 3 hour run time might scare some people, and for someone who doesn't like overly long movies myself, this movie doesn't feel 3 hours long. There's enough going on to keep your attention throughout.
Not only is this a great superhero movie but casual movie fans will enjoy it as well. It's more than just super hero action and CGI, it's got a lot of emotion and character drama that makes the movie that much more enjoyable. And the performances of all the actors are outstanding-particularly Robert Downey, Jr.'s.
The picture and sound on the 4K are great. Pretty much what you would expect from a movie like this. There's plenty of visuals to make nice use of the 4K and HDR formats.
So all in all this is obviously a must-watch for fans of the series, but I would highly recommend it to casual movie fans as well-a masterpiece of a movie--A+
