Baz Luhrmann's expectedly electric biopic of the King of Rock 'n' Roll offers an arresting central performance by Austin Butler, as the peaks and valleys of Elvis Presley's performing career are recounted through the deathbed reflections of ex-manager Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks), the Southern Svengali who cannily trained the Tupelo youngster's charismatic gifts on the American public-and just as ruthlessly exploited them. Olivia DeJonge, Richard Roxburgh, Helen Thomson also star. 159 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Hunka Hunka Burnin’ 4k!
on December 3, 2022
Posted by: Slate
Verified Purchase:Yes
It’s a hunka hunka hunka burnin’ film! The name Baz Luhrmann is what drew me to own this wild film. Collectors would love for all of Luhrmann’s productions be on 4k to shine as bright as Elvis. Recommend

Fun Film!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was a huge Julie Brown fan in the late 80s. Started watching her show at the age of 12-13 years old…I never could get enough of this chick! Of course, when I heard about the film coming to Blu-ray, it was a no-brainer! I was adding this in my disc collection. The film’s transfer is top notch for a blu-ray. It’s not a 4k-but the colors and the details found in the movie truly pop! I wasn’t expecting that since it’s not a 4k. It’s a solid transfer..AND the extras are so worth the pickup alone! Julie Brown gives an interview that fans have got to see

Although time travel has been outlawed in the year 2074, criminal organizations still use it to dispose of their enemies, sending them back 30 years where they're eliminated by contract killers called loopers. In 2044, a looper named Joe Simmons (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) realizes that his latest target is his older self (Bruce Willis) who means to carry out a hit of his own. Mindbending sci-fi actioner also stars Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, Piper Perabo, Jeff Daniels. 119 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Romy’s new career move!
on November 22, 2022
Posted by: Slate
Verified Purchase:Yes
A year after the events of Romy White’s (Mira Sorvino) 10 yr High School reunion (the previous film), in this follow up flick- she finds herself a real job! It had nothing to do with ‘post it’ notes by the way. Romy (Mira) earns herself ‘The business woman special’ diner card from the Sizzlin’ after being turned down along w/Michelle in the last movie (it’s not a spoiler). Mira kicked some butt in this sequel here! She earned that diner card for sure! . I figure when Romy and Michelle return for their 50th high school reunion, Romy will have something to impress the class with-esp after watching her in this film

Good ol’ 80s Cheese!

Man! You cannot go wrong with this on a Saturday afternoon (That’s what this film is for me). A kickback Saturday afternoon flick. It’s a light hearted..so for me, light hearted flicks are made for afternoons. Reflecting on the 2 Corey’s-that’s awesome! Cinema has plenty of history with these two. They are fun to watch. I hope ‘license to drive’ gets an updated transfer (I’d love to see a 4k disc for that) release soon. Until then-this blu is recommended

Beautiful 4k presentation

Verified Purchase:Yes
Beautiful 4k presentation. If you’re into WW2 films, I recommend this film. ‘Furry’ is character driven. So expect that going into this. The special features are awesome! If u pick this up, watch these special features-if you don’t, you’re missing out on half of the goodness packaged into the 4k

This was a blind buy. What I thought the film might be wasn’t at all what it was. And what a ride this 4k was! Action, action and MORE action! I was thinking it would be a comedy-pure action! The movie had me glued to the screen..I couldn’t believe it went by fast! Ryan Reynolds surprised me, too! He CAN play a serious role and he does it extraordinary well

Short on cash and with no callbacks coming, Nicolas Cage (as a fictionalized version of himself) readily accepted a million-dollar appearance payday for the Mallorca birthday party of worshipful olive tycoon Javi Gutierrez (Pedro Pascal). Though quickly learning to enjoy the arrangement, it goes south when Cage is tipped by the CIA of his improbable fanboy's insurrectionist activities-and is expected to help take him down. Self-satirical action-comedy co-stars Tiffany Haddish, Ike Barinholtz, Neil Patrick Harris. 105 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Good 4k presentation; the script completely original! That’s what Cage has been giving fans in recent years-original material! So there’s plenty to like in the film-it’s just a crazy fun ride! It’s not gonna win any Oscar but im not knocking the acting. It’s solid and complete entertainment. It’s a film like no other but wait for a sale to pick this sucker up

Brilliant film in 4k
on November 13, 2022
Posted by: Slate
Verified Purchase:Yes
What an incredible/ fascinating/ insane film! This is a MUST HAVE 4k in your collection. The movie itself is brilliant but in 4k, it’s like living out the action at home! This disc has the rewatchablity factor written all over it. Regardless what you purchased the 4k disc at-you’ll find it worth it due the endless times of repeat viewing! Love this flick! I totally recommend it

As she braced for an IRS audit, middle-aged ~migr~ Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh) felt a failure as wife, daughter, mother, and businesswoman. It was a heck of a time to discover that she could tap into the abilities of countless variant versions of herself across reality-and that she would need them to conquer a threat poised to collapse it all. Audacious fantasy-action farce from the makers of InchSwiss Army ManInch co-stars Ke Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu, James Hong, and Jamie Lee Curtis. 132 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

If different is what U want…

Verified Purchase:Yes
One of the weirdest films I’ve EVER seen ( I LOVE!! OFF BEAT FILMS!! ) ..the acting is SUPERB..but something is amiss. I don’t know what it is tho. Maybe I just need to revisit the movie; an additional viewing. Certain flicks need to be watched a 2nd time. Also I need to check out the special features (I haven’t done that yet). There’s something about watching the extras and then watching a film again. It adds to the experience of repeat viewing. Unsure what the rewatchablity factor is here..but I’m willing to give it another shot

I use my iPad quite a bit, mostly for internet searches, social media and games. Now it is dying and I am looking to buy a new one. Would a 64 gb work for me? What would I gain with a 256 gb?

Get more memory because of iOS updates. The iPad will last longer and not slowdown as time goes along.
