John McTiernan directs Sean Connery in the eco-friendly adventure film The Medicine Man, which comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. An English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are neither subtitles nor closed-captions on this release. Supplemental materials include a making-of featurette and the theatrical trailer. This is a decent release from Disney/Buena Vista that will please Connery fans and genre enthusiasts.

An NVIDIA GeForce MX150 graphics card lets you use extra screens with this HP business laptop.

Can't do without it.
Chunky, but portable if need be.
Fast enough.
I wanted the BIG SCREEN so I could watch DVDs on it.
Got it upgraded last year.
Never had a problem.
Love the TOUCH SCREEN.

While there are some good things to be said for Warner Bros' DVD release of Batman, one of those things is not how it makes full use of the DVD format. Aside from a handful of production and cast notes, and some film recommendations, the DVD has no extras. The disc includes both full-frame and widescreen versions of the movie. The widescreen version is an anamorphic transfer preserving the original 1.85:1 aspect ratio of the movie. The transfer is very crisp and clean, with no sign of grain, and minimal compression artifacts and edge enhancement apparent throughout. The print used is very clean and shows no degradation. Colors are accurate and vivid throughout (while the scenes that are required to look grey and forbidding achieve a respectably sullen coldness) with no smearing or blending, and blacks are nicely solid and detailed. Earlier video transfers of this movie tended to push the luminance levels too high, leaving darker areas a kind of ugly grey-green. The soundtrack, originally Dolby Stereo, has been remastered to Dolby 5.1. The resulting track is clean and clear, with good dialogue separation, but is somewhat lacking in dynamics and does not make particularly good use of either the subwoofer channel or the surrounds (there is some surround work, mainly for ambience, but the majority of the soundstage is across the front). The French-language track is the original Dolby 2.0 track, with levels pushed to the wall. The voice cast seems a bit odd, but the dubbing is adequate. The disc has 31 chapter stops and is packaged in a cardboard snapper case.

When a new sergeant, James, takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James' true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever.

One of the best-reviewed thrillers of recent years is Copycat, an adrenaline pumper about the desperate hunt for a mass murderer who copies serial killers of the recent past. An ambitious San Francisco homicide detective and a noted criminal psychologist piece together a jigsaw puzzle of crime as they close in on a friend with a knack for staying a step ahead... and leaving a body behind.

Good if not great. Most such choices depend on your personal taste ... and how far back in the history of American cinema you want to go.

Is this a good buy for a 7 year old? First computer. Can he play games and have space to download apps?

I bought this for my sixth grade 11 year old -- soon to be 12 year old -- grandson as his first computer BECAUSE CHROMEBOOKS are used through high school here in Connecticut.
However, I have not used it myself and his mother supervises his use; so I can't answer your questions clearly.
On the other hand, it's important to start early and learn to handle a keyboard. The good folks at BEST BUY may know more.
