The Matrix (10th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray] Right now

Just a quick thumbs up. I first saw this on DVD back in '99 and it has always been a favorite. Watching it on blu a few days ago, it was better than I remember, both audio and video. but of course the video is better in HD!

But the transfer is superb compared to any other out there, it truly looks great. Between the picture and sound, I had some rare moments of feeling the screen pressing towards me, that feeling that you are falling or about top be hit.

I find this is one of the best movie experiences I've ever had. Turn your subwoofer on with the rest of your surround, crank it up, set your TV to a nice bright, balanced picture and let the matrix take you.

Oh and don't let 'the haters' keep you from enjoying the sequels. Even I have a hard time through one or two over the top action sequences but I still enjoy them all. But it's this one, the first that will give you the most chills.

Stagecoach (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] Order Now

I am and have been a fan of John Wayne for many years but more so in the past couple of years. I have purchased EVERY movie that John was in, good, bad or worse, including the years of his 30's. I recently obtained his first ever movie, "The Big Trail". WOW! Out of my library, I have donated to our local library the movies that I watched, did not care for and would not mind if my collection was missing them.

This movie however, WILL NEVER become separated from my collection. When I saw this one for the first time, I fell in love all over again. Clair, John, Andy and all the others were fantastic. Every time I see John's first appearance on screen, he twirls that rifle to cock it, I fall in love all over again and again with great acting. There are simply too many great scenes to name them all.

I will not rehash the plot, as one prior review detailed it perfectly. I have the collectors addition of StageCoach. I am looking forward to this particular release and will buy it when it comes out. IF I like this one better than the one I currently have, I will donate it also to the library. The librarian informed me that our town here in the heart of Montana if full of John Wayne fans and that since my donations of all my John Wayne dvd's, their "check outs" for the libraries dvd section has tripled in the first 6 months of the fiscal year. SO, moral of the story, John Wayne still lives on in our hearts. If I could depart here with one thought for those who like to pick apart movies, it would be this.

Movies of old are the foundations for the today movies. I however, prefer the "real" movies where we had "real" actors. Those who did their own stunts, where they did not have all these special effects from digital computers. Where the actors themselves had to ACT!! What we have today is a sham of the past. Even my grandson of 5yrs prefers a John Wayne movie to anything of today. The actors of yesteryear were made of "True Grit". Instead of picking apart our heritage of classics with negative reviews of the shoulda coulda thoughts, lets just simply enjoy what the screen and reels have to offer us. GREAT entertainment that all members of the family can enjoy. WHat a legacy we have been endowed with. So, sit back, get the popcorn and drinks ready for a GREAT and FANTASTIC acting and story line. The ending, is what it should be....the ride into the sunset for the "and they lived happily ever after".....Get more detail about Stagecoach (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray].

Life (narrated by David Attenborough) [Blu-ray] Get it now!

I just bought the blu-ray from Amazon.uk, couldn't wait for the US release (and when you live in Brazil the freight cost pretty much the same from there), and there is nothing else to add about the documentary, it just has all the BBC quality already demonstrated on others like Planet Earth, but I was amazed with the image quality, they really improved that on Life, some images are even more clear than in Baraka (which is a high standard when it comes to image quality). Just a note for those buying it from Amazon.uk: the blu-ray is recorded on 50hz (PAL) and that won't run on a US PS3 or some BD players that don't support 50Hz (instead of the standard US 60Hz NTSC). Bottom line, great show, highly recommend it!Get more detail about Life (narrated by David Attenborough) [Blu-ray].

Where To Buy Avatar (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) [Blu-ray]

I've been waiting for this movie to come out on DVD, as I'm home bound, and I couldn't go to the movie theatre to see it. Sure, I know there is supposed to be an even better version of the movie coming out in 3-D, and that it will have a lot more extra stuff on it, but for people like me who have been waiting to see even what the movie is like, I give it my own 2 thumbs up.

This movie is so brilliant! I love Sci-Fi movies, so this movie just blew my mind! I can't believe that they originally started working on the script for this movie in 1994, just waiting for technology to catch up with the ideas and vision of Mr. Cameron. I'm glad that they waited to do this film right. The colors in this movie are really amazing too. My parents got to see this movie in 3-D at an IMAX theatre. Neither of my parents like Fantasy movies, but my Mom just kept going on and on about this movie. If it looks this awesome on my old beat up TV, I can't even imagine how awesome it must have been in the theater's.

I give this movie, even without all the "Special Features" and everything, a full five star rating that the movie itself deserves! If you haven't seen it, you are really missing out on a special treat! My advice, see it as soon as you can!Get more detail about Avatar (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) [Blu-ray].
