When Blu, a domesticated macaw from small-town Minnesota, meets the fiercely independent Jewel, he takes off on an adventure to Rio de Janeiro with this bird of his dreams.
this movie was very good saw it in the theaters twice in 3d but the 2d blu-ray in my HT did it justice! the colors were very vibrant and the detail was top notch. the audio was very well done and they made very good use of the surround channels. the story was adult funny at many times, cleverly written and laid out. this movie is very funny with some real well placed zingers! the extras were nice too. if you want to impress some folks with your a/v system, put this on and crank it a bit! you can't go wrong with Rio!
While still out to destroy the evil Umbrella Corporation, Alice joins a group of survivors who want to relocate to the mysterious but supposedly unharmed safe haven known only as Arcadia.
Love the series and Love Mila and this steel book is another fine addtion.....The picture was crystal clear at all times, colors were lifelike with nice saturation when needed like in explosions and flashes and such. the audio was incredible, explosions were through the roof and the LFE at times was nutt rattling! the surround channels were very well used and the gunfire exchange was well done with pinpoint sound panning accross the surround channels! I did like watching all of the extras of the disc, too bad there weren't more! Mila is a bad girl and gets high marks for being so involved with the movie...hightly recommended!
The long-haired Princess Rapunzel has spent her entire life in a tower, but when she falls in love with a bandit who was passing by she must venture into the outside world for the first time to find him.
I watched the video on the day it was released and it was quite a thing to behold. A fresh storyline on a old tale and it was great. I do not have a 3D set up as of yet but this 2d animation was beautiful very high marks for VQ. There was alot of surround action and based on the way the video was shot It was great in the AQ; We did enjoy all of the extras. For anyone who has children and for adults who grew up on disney (and who hasen't) this will be a welcome addition to your HD Disney library.
A young lion cub named Simba just can't wait to be king. But the sudden death of his father, Mufasa, and the treacherous actions of his Uncle Scar lead Simba into exile and ultimately on a hero's journey of self-discovery....
this is one of the best transfers that disney has come out with yet. The picture and sound was top notch with the effects and sourround stage immersive and i dont think the 9 year moved the entire time the movie was playing. Highly recommended for anyones collection.

This blu-ray is like watching a whole new movie with the picture much improved but THE SOUND makes this work. During the intial carrier scenes I felt like I was on deck landing the planes and throughout the movie I noticed more details than the standard dvd. It is not necessary to have a great sound system to experience the improvements made to the blu ray edition, but thats the reason we are here sonic bliss.

This one holds to any movie today..........fantastic soundtrack to start......the transfer is much better than the upcoverted DVD....film is flat at times but due to its age...overall picture quality is very good....soundtrack is is engaging with decent surround usage....this disk is worth the upgrade especially to fans of the film....
Best werewolf movie to date hands down......i watched it in the theaters as a kid and can still remember jumping and hiding under the seats during the dream sequences...scary crap....still jump every once in awhile....the film is grainy but does improve as it moves along. The Soundtrack is pretty damn good and has decent surround usage....love the film very highly recommended....the improved sound track is worth your dollar.....
Justice League season 1 overall was okay the series and the characters lacked depth, the dialogue was occasionally cliche, plot holes were everywhere and the stories felt stuffed like a thanksgiving turkey. Season 2 the creative staff went back and did some major rework with the end result a resoundingly better season all around, but one that almost feels like a brand new series. The animation is much improved over season 1, and the distracting CG elements are better implemented. Beyond that, this is really a show that appeals to both kids and adults. This is a series that everyone can wrap there heads around......awesome

The Warner disc looks like the same as the fox offering so really nothing new to report on this disk except the usual grain, so there looks to be no noise reduction which is fine wiht me.....picture looks flat could use some pop....but it is what it is a fine action flick......
The Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on the Moon, and race against the Decepticons to reach it and learn its secrets, which could turn the tide in the Transformers' final battle.
This movie is all about the action and it delivers in nonstop droves. Say what you will about Michael Bay; the man is capable of crafting some of the most exciting and inventive action scenes in modern cinema. Unlike some recent releases that did not deliver on what was expected (Green Lantern), this is one movie that leaves some of the best material out of its trailers and TV spots. The scene between Bumblebee and his cohorts and three very animalistic Decepticons on the interstate towards the end of the first act is a jaw-dropping spectacle. MB lays it all out in this one and the action is second to none......
Annie, is a maid of honor whose life unravels as she leads her best friend, Lillian, and a group of colorful bridesmaids on a wild ride down the road to matrimony. Annie's life is a mess. But when she finds out her lifetime best...
One of the funniest movies I have seen in quite awhile. The script is well written for each of the characters and the cast is very good in the delivering the goods. video and audio quality are on par with todays new releases. A little more extras would have been good..but the improv portion was spot on.....

An ex-con sets out to avenge his brother's death after they were double-crossed during a heist years ago. During his campaign, however, he's tracked by a veteran cop and an egocentric hit man.
DTS HD Master 5.1 Soundtrack is very good....Picture wise the Colors and fleshtones are accurate. DNR or Edge Enhancement was at a minimum and the presentation picture quality was quite crisp.
The Rock is quite good here going through his feelings and emotions during the film and Billy Bob as always plays the drugged up cop great as he really sells the story....overall worth the time you invest into the picture especially if you are a fan of the Rock...........

Rev up your engines for this unforgettable collection of Cars Toons starring Mater, the lovable and hilarious tow truck from the hit movie Cars. From the creative minds of Disney/Pixar come nine highly entertaining "Tall Tales"...
super fun. Mater's is the best thanks to larry the cable guy. PQ/AQ are great along with the Packaging. Nice slip. Great shorts for demo material or to entertain kids & friends. pricepoint is fine can find for cheap, unless you're a Cars junkie and the kid just keeps on beggin so you make them do their chores and reward them for a job well doen then its worth $20.

What is impressive is the PQ and it looks stunning on the setup. This is definitely one of the best blu PQ's of an old title. This blu is heads and shoulders better than the dvd version. Absolutely no comparison. Well worth a double dip. Sound is pretty good as well and should be turned up to wake the neighbors...... not the best extras set but thats okay....
This one Ring rules them all. A spectacular achievement in cinema, and the one of the best packaged deals of this or any year to date. I order you to buy it, savor and carress it and call it "Precious." Any case against New Line for gratuitous double-dipping is dismissed. It is an extremly satisifing to sit through and view the movies with all the extended scenes that tie everything into perfect harmony. Its power corrupts all who desire it. Only one has the will to resist it and it wasn't me.....hands down the best movie trilogy of all time.....

Great action flick with explosions and loud gun battles. Not a chick flick, sound and PQ were very good....and with a great cast Rampage was great. Good tie in with the TV show as I watched during its run on broadcast TV....
