A movie that understands the multiverse is WEIRD and perfectly encapsulates how it feels to be so small in a world so vast. I also appreciate how the movie centers around a mother-daughter relationship, there are not many action movies out there that can do so.
Frankly, anyone who thinks this movie pales in comparison to Marvel's multiverse is too small-minded to understand that this movie owned the multiverse in its OWN way; not in conveniently-marketable Hollywood way.
The film has a depth and beauty we don't see much in story telling these days. While I was able to see the ending that was coming, the way it was executed was heart warming and brought tears to most in the family.
If you have the ability to track multiple stories / variations at the same time, bringing them all together in your mind, then you will love this film. If you can't follow *or* are easily offended by subcultures (i.
e. BDSM, adult toys, etc. ), they you shoud likely stay away.

Daddy Day Care with Eddie Murphy is a great family movie. It had my whole family laughing at Eddie Murphy and those kids. Angelica Houston was great as the counter to Eddie. Daddy Day Camp with Cuba Gooding Jr.
was also very funny. I like him in Comedies. Him and his friend working with the kids and trying to make camp more interesting and fun for the kids was great. We laughed all through it. I would recommend both movies for a fun Family night!.
cose_lync
I saw this was only $3. 74, my family watches movies every Saturday night and we needed some new ones. I had seen Daddy Day Care before and knew it was funny, and it never gets old but I had never seen Daddy Day Camp.
We watched them and they were both very funny. But I liked Eddie Murphy more that I liked Cuba Gooding in it and wished Eddie was in the second one but Cuba did a very good job and we enjoyed both movies very much.
I wished I would of just got Daddy Day Care and not Daddy Day Camp. It's pretty dull.
3. She's The Man (dvd)
Movie MPAA Rating: Pg-13
Movie Studio: Paramount Pictures
Software Format: DVD
It"s hard enough being the nerdy new guy on campus without also being the new girl on campus, who has fallen for the coolest guy on campus, who is totally obsessed with the most beautiful girl on campus, who is "crushing" on the nerdy new guy on campus.
Viola Johnson (Amanda Bynes) had her own good reasons for disguising herself as her twin brother Sebastian (James Kirk) and enrolling in his place at his new boarding school, Illyria Prep. She was counting on Sebastian being AWOL from school as he tried to break into the music scene in London.
What she didn"t count on was falling in love with her hot roommate, Duke (Channing Tatum), who in turn only has eyes for the beautiful Olivia (Laura Ramsey). Making matters worse, Olivia is starting to fall for Sebastian, who-for reasons Olivia couldn"t begin to guess-appears to be the sensitive type of guy she"d always dreamed of meeting.
If things weren"t complicated enough, the real Sebastian has come back from London two days earlier than expected and arrives on campus having no clue that he"s been replaced by his own twin sister.
I got the movie, everything looked fine. Until i put the movie in my DVD player. It played the previews and then replayed the previews. when i went to press the menu button to go to the menu it went straight to the credits.
never played the movie. Ended up returning it. Upset because i really was looking forward to watching it again after yeaaarrsss of not seeing it.
Fun movie! Fun for the family to watch, although it does have some scenes that parent's of younger children should be cautioned about.

Die Hard Collection (5 Movies) [New DVD] Boxed Set I bought these classic Bruce Willis movies as a gift for my husband. However, we both enjoy watching them very much. I originally have the 3 first Die Hard movies set on vhs tapes, but they don't have the last 2 included in them.
The Die Hard movies have always been our favorites to set back and binge-watch on a late-night weekend. These movies are of great quality and this price can not be beaten!.
virginiwatkin3
If you like non-stop action, these are the movies for you. Bruce Willis as John McClane doesn't disappoint as he battles the bad guys in each of these Die Hard movies. Each movie stands on its own and it was also interesting to see the character age with time (1988-2013).
A good value for the money.

I am watching the original Die Hard for the first time in years. I really like it but don't love it. I love watching Alan Rickman! And sorry, but it's not a Christmas movie. If you're looking for some great action, this is for you!.

Coco (Blu-ray NEW)
Label: Walt Disney

Bonanza – Gravity Wrestling Video
Blu-ray – Pixar's history of superb animated movies continues with the instant-classic Coco. Miguel Riviera is a good-hearted kid who plays guitar and idolizes Ernesto de la Cruz, a famous musician. In spite of his talent and passion, Miguel's family won't let him play music.
They claim his great-great-grandfather abandoned his loved ones to selfishly pursue a musical career, so music was banned in the family. Miguel's pursuit of music leads him all the way to the Land of the Dead, where he faces great danger and meets colorful friends.
As Miguel learns more about his family history, he begins to unravel a mystery that is deeper than anything he could have imagined. But if he stays in the Land of the Dead for too long, he'll become a permanent resident.

I'm going to go against the majority here, and not just for the sake of it. I did not like Disney/Pixar's Coco. In fact, I hated it. To me, this is the worst Pixar has done since Cars 2. There, I said.
I tolerated Pixar duds that were just mediocre, like The Good Dinosaur and Cars 3, but this was just a boring, clichéd stinker. I will say that the film looks beautiful; I can't ever knock Pixar for that.
Everything is bright, colorful and there is astounding attention to detail, especially in the wide setting shots. There are always a few neat things to find hidden in most frames. I will give credit for that.
And the acting does seem heartfelt from the majority of the cast. I personally don't recognize any names from the principal characters except Edward James Olmos, Benjamin Bratt, and Allana Ubach, and the bit parts that went to popular Hispanic comedians (and of course John Ratzenberger's obligatory cameo), but that doesn't automatically reflect poorly on the film as a whole.
But the story just kills it for me. I'm sure there are plenty of people that this resonates personally with, and that's fine. But if you don't identify with any of the elements or characters (and I don't mean because of cultural reasons) in this film like I did, it ends up being a waste of time.
For a while, it seemed like the movie was going to take an unexpected direction. I thought perhaps it was going for something like if family gets in the way of like if family gets in the way of our dreams and ambitions, it may be better to cut that toxicity out of your life.
The main kid character Miguel's family has an irrational hatred towards music, something he has great passion and talent for, and the crux of this film's plot is his journey to the Land of the Dead to find some family that will help and not hinder his goal of becoming a great guitarist.
I thought that would be a bold and new take, especially for Disney. But of course it didn't go that route. Even though both his living and deceased family show him nothing but hostility for his passion, some convenient misunderstandings eventually come to light, it's none of their fault, and everyone comes around to Miguel's side by film's end.
I thought it a bit of a cop-out, actually. If they had gone the route I thought, although a lot riskier, it would have been much more avant-garde, memorable, and unique for a Disney film. However, Disney/Pixar did decide to put a twist near the plot's climax.
However, it was the exact same twist that they have done to death and back in way too many of their films since the turn of the millennium, that of the secret villain. I swear, this plot device is dumb and it's everywhere.
In Frozen, Monsters Inc. , Zootopia, Big Hero 6, Toy Story 2 and 3, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, etc. They all have the villain turn out to be one of the characters everyone thought was a good guy close to the end.
Even if an idea like that can be new at first, when it's overused like they've been doing, it becomes just another annoying cliché. And frankly, I'm tired of this one. I want the old style of gleefully and unabashed bad guys like Jafar and Maleficent.
Villains like the one in Coco aren't fun to watch because we can't enjoy them as villains if they're not villains until the last quarter of the film. There are other parts of the plot that get to me too.
There is far too much time dedicated to the complexities and intricacies of the technical nature of the Land of the Dead's rules. It gets way to specific and way too complicated. I don't know if this was pulled directly from or at least inspired by actual Mexican folklore, but either way, it should have been simplified or downplayed.
The Princess and the Frog had similar issues with the specifics of its magic rules. Blessings could be rescinded, being forgotten leads to super death, can't visit unless picture is just right, and a lot more make the rules hard to follow.
Another thing that I thought hurt the movie is the title itself, Coco. That's the name of one of the characters. However, it's not one of the main characters, or even secondary characters. She barely has any screen time, let alone lines, and she isn't the crux of the plot or Miguel's main motivator.
It makes no sense for the film to be named for a character that has so little to do with it. It's like if Aladdin was named for the shopkeeper in the opening scene or if Finding Nemo was called Crush the Turtle.
I am aware of the issues with originally naming the movie Day of the Dead, and the copyright controversy that arose from that, but they still could have done better than a character that is barely in the movie.
Miguel's Journey, or Love of Music, or I don't know, something else could have worked. It's like they came down to the wire and just threw a dart at a dartboard full of all the characters and just called it after the one it hit.
I also personally do not care for the musical style of the movie, being traditional Mexican mariachi and the like, but I will admit that is more of a personal grievance than an objective fault with the film.
Still, if you don't love that style, this movie may make your ears bleed. In my opinion, there was another movie with a similar style that did all of these things better than Coco, and that was The Book of Life.
Its world and magic rules weren't too complicated and were easy to follow. The villains were simple and clear-cut. The music was traditional but still widely accessible to a general audience. The title may not have played a huge role, but at least it was there and plot didn't have to dwell on it.
If you have the option, I would definitely recommend The Book of Life over Coco any day. Final grade: D+.
BasilioBoy
I read some very positive reviews from critics and this movie also had good word of mouth. We missed it in the theater but I bought this Blu-ray/DVD combo so we could watch it with my 5 year old daughter.
We all enjoyed it and I will say that the blu-ray picture is amazing for the vibrant colors. Where it came up short for me and all of us to a degree, was that Book of Life has some VERY similar elements and we liked that movie better.
Also, there are a few plot points that take some extra explaining for younger kids. That's not necessarily a negative but be aware you'll need to address death and the afterlife some, same as we did with Book of Life.
It's the time jumps with some characters being old in current time but a baby in other times that can drag it down a little. Overall, a solid kids movie with some great animation and colors that adults will like too.
I just didn't find it as amazing as others, probably b/c I'd seen Book of Life about 10 times with my kid.
WatchEmAll
I loved Coco, and I give Disney credit for doing the research they did to create an authentic movie that deals with the beautiful feast of Day of the Dead. The plot is well written and gives insights to the whole festival.
The songs are charming, and delivered with much gusto, exactly as the Mexican heritage would have done. Please note I got my copy before they added more instrumental music, so yours may or may not reflect that.

Helen, a kind hearted and shy florist, meets the perfect man at a Valentines Masquerade Ball. When she enlists the help of her best friend Henry to track him down, she finds that her perfect man may already be right in front of her.
Age Group: adult.
Danica just doesn't come across as a sympathetic, real person in her movies. She doesn't have the chemistry with her leading men that makes the romances feel real. Seems to be "acting", "putting on a show" as a lover.
I love most of your romance movies, and although I've seen every one Danica's been in, I don't have the feeling of connection with her movies I do with many of the other actresses. I buy many of the Hallmark romances and mysteries, but I won't buy–or desire to see–any of hers again!.
I thought that this movie might end up being an extremely cheesy show, but I was very pleasantly surprised! It was even better than I hoped for! Danica is always such a great actress in her Hallmark films!.
Kiasumsam
Really cute movie. Like both of the actors in this movie. Especially Danica McKellar shes always good. Very enjoyable movie. Would Watch it over and overValentine hallmark movie, Received it in a timely manner.

Product Name Christmas Eve [DVD] [2015]
I was surprised that I enjoyed this movie. There many people who have important places to be on Christmas Eve. The power in New York City, a section of a large area, goes out. It is interesting how groups and individuals cope with not only missing the traditional Christmas concerts, seeing family members or friends and are instead are stuck in elevators with people they hardly know or strangers.
It was better than I ever guessed it would be.
This story was not what we were expecting in a Christmas story/movie. We were not very focused on it when we watched it, so perhaps we will like it better the second time. We do like Patrick Stewart, however don't feel his part did much to show his abilities.
Again, perhaps we will like it better the next time we try watching it. Until then we can't really recommend it.
MovieLover
Patrick Stewart headlines this ensemble cast. A number of people get trapped in different elevators on Christmas Eve due to a power failure. They have time to talk, reflect, and see that things aren't always what they seem to be inside their lives, jobs, families, friends, incomes etc.
They all learn the true meaning/spirit of Christmas through multiple accounts of intercession and communication. Good Movie!!.

I had a vh copy of this movie & watched it for years until it broke. It was several years before it came out on dvd (just recently). As soon as I saw it available, I ordered one, & I've already watched it twice! John Denver is great, of course, & so are the other actors.
The scenery through the whole movie is so beautiful, snow everywhere, Christmas decoarations, small town ambience. Wonderful story of a town celebrating Christmas the year round, and pulling together to help one of their own families who is about to lose their farm.
The children practice a church program, acting out the birth of Christ, singing carols, etc. Just a special, feel-good movie that will leave you feeling blessed!.
soroberts
I love the setting, the gentle humor, and the characters. This is not just a story about a guy and girl falling in love, it's about a town, and so many of the town's residents are interesting, lovable people.
Bud keeps you smiling. John Denver only sings one song, and it's short, quite, lovely, and appropriate–not gratuitous. Great family movie!.
joyful_jeanwriter
A Christmas movie should have shoe. This one looks so Very Christmas!! Beautiful story. John Denver is not only an amazing singer and song writer, he also is a very good natural actor in this one! This movie ranks at one of my very favorite to watch at Christmas! Love it!!!.

Many dislike the star mash up included in this movie but I quite enjoyed the pairings. It was comedic with just the right amount of love and romance. Relationships exist just as they were displayed in the film.
So, what's not to enjoy? Parts dragged. a tad. but overall it's a good watch on a rainy day.

Wow! What a film based on true events! The 4K transfer was great and the sound was good! The LFE was intense and pushed my subwoofers quite a bit. was the LFE as intense as Hacksaw Ridge? I think the battleship blasts in Hacksaw had more impact, at least in my set up and I'm running Dual SVS PB 2000 PRO's.
but overall, 13 Hours was great to watch!.

Great movie! Beautiful cinematography in this historically based film. I was engaged from start to finish. Nice to see Jim from The Office in this role as he is quite good in it. Beautiful steel book package as well.

This is a perfect movie to highlight (no pun intended) the HDR of your TV. The majority of the film is at night. With explosions, flashlights, night vision, it shows the range of deep blacks to bright whites.

Good movie,liked it enough that I wanted to buy it,was disappointed though that the dvd case had a broken corner on it,lose pieces from broken corner inside the case,along with the dvd loose in the case as well when I opened it, could hear the dvd loose before opening it.
disappointed with the condition it arrived in,but good movie to watch. 3 stars are for the movie being good.
I just love "Happily Ever After" movies. obviously there is reality and yet I like to see the good that can come out of life instead of the negatives that the world would paint them. In other words, making lemonade out of lemons and doing the best with what you have at the moment to help someone else out and better their life as well.

I'm not sure exactly why, but I like this particular Hallmark movie. It's slightly different than most of their movies. I like that she "finds" herself, finds her voice, slows down enough to hear her heart, her inner voice, etc.
We all could use some of that. slowing down, finding out what is really important.

Do some quality assurance Walmart.
There is an illegal pirated copy from Mexico, it's blurry and fuzzy. Tried to return and they told me it was completely non refundable. I didn't see anywhere when I purchased online that said it was an ILLEGAL copy or that it was not refundable.
This has to be one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. These guys are hilarious together. They're pranks and name calling towards eachother had me rolling. I really enjoy this movie and I could watch it over and over again.

This is a true, heart-breaking story about the war between Burundi and Rwanda. Everyone should see this movie to understand the pain experienced by the victims of this war and to gain a better understanding of why we have so many refugees in our world.
I did not say this movie was "entertaining" because it was full of terrible suffering. However, it was well-done and riveting. A must see movie.
chicothechihuahua
This movie tells one tale of the Rwandan Genocide of the 1990's. While the violence is graphic it is not gratuitous as more than 600,000 Rwandan citizens were killed in 100 days of largely one sided violence.
To tell this story without violence would not be possible. A good book to read after watching the movie is "An Ordinary Man" – an autobiography of the main character of the movie Paul Rusesabagina.
chanticleer01
Director Terry George brings the horrific story about the Rwandan massacre to life on the big screen. The story is told through the eyes of one special man, Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle), a savvy, clever and cunning manager of a swank, four-star Belgian hotel in the capital, Kigali.
When the massacres began, Paul (a Hutu) shelters more than 1200 people in the hotel and saved them from the wrath of the bloodthirsty killers. The message rang loud and clear when Paul asks the U. S.
reporter (Joaquin Phoenix) how the world powers could not intervene after seeing scenes of Tutsi men, women and children being hacked to death with machetes by Hutu militia. Democratic Leaders could have easily stopped this from happening but didn't care enough to do so since there was no interest in doing so.
After all, poor countries have little clout. Clinton finally apologized to Rwandans for not intervening during the 100-day massacre that saw over a million Tutsis and moderate Hutus slaughtered in a barbaric way.
Apologies don't go along way with the families of those that were slaughtered. The Rwandan genocide is a black mark on western nations, which simply got their citizens out of Rwanda and then remained indifferent to the senseless killings.
Working from a smart script by Keir Pearson and George, "Hotel Rwanda" contains gut-wrenching and emotionally trying moments not seen on the big screen since Schindler's List (1993). Although Steven Spielberg spent more time working on cinematography and artistic angles, George seems to capture the urgency and tenseness of the situation.
Maybe it's because we now see a similar slaughter of poor, downtrodden people in the Darfur region of Sudan. Again, western nations aren't doing much other than threatening to rap the knuckles of the bad guys like angry teachers.
We briefly see the horror firsthand with tidbits of footage taped by the reporter of people being killed and again in one particularly searing scene when Paul and his bellhop Gregoire (Tony Kgoroge) find themselves on a bumpy road littered with bodies, but not much of on-screen killing.
The moment's were made more horrifying because George unveils it in a quite eerie manner. Making a PG-13 film about genocide requires numerous compromises. Putting most, if not all, of the violence off-camera is one such bargain George made.
Truth is a closer look at the massacre would have rightly tortured us. The film, nevertheless, works without gruesome moments. Pearson and George were completely successful in capturing this true story of heroism, survival, love and compassion amid the madness.
Cheadle's coolness and savvy carries the entire film throughout. There isn't a single slip in his performance. He always seems to turn in one superb performance after another. Here, he's in equal measure the smooth manager, man with a conscience, and frightened husband and father.
You can sense Paul's frustration, though Cheadle rarely displays any vulnerability. He gets great support from Sophie Okonedo as Paul's Tutsi wife, Tatiana. Nick Nolte does a fantastic job as a hard nosed U.
N. a Canadian United Nations officer, Colonel Oliver, although this character seems to be quite blunt and prejudiced at times. Perhaps George wished to drive home a point that some people really have humanity issues.

All Doris Day films are a pleasant watch, nothing rude and contains no bad language. Wish more films were made like this today. The world would be a happier place.

Gothika (USED) A woman is taken on a voyage to the other side of sanity in this moody thriller. Dr. Miranda Grey (Halle Berry) is a clinical psychologist who works alongside her husband, Dr. Doug Grey (Charles S.
Dutton), in the mental ward of a top security prison, where Miranda has been devoting much of her attention to a clever but deeply disturbed murderer named Chloe (Penélope Cruz), who shares gruesome tales of torture and violence that may or may not be based in fact.
One night, Miranda has a hideous nightmare in which a chance meeting with a strange young girl leads to a terrifying journey into madness. Once she wakes, however, Miranda discovers that the real horror has just begun — Doug has been brutally murdered, and the evidence points to Miranda as the prime suspect.
She soon finds herself a patient in the same facility where she once treated others, and finds that her claims of innocence and sanity do little to convince Dr. Pete Graham (Robert Downey Jr. ), the psychologist assigned to her case.
Gothika marked the American debut of acclaimed and controversial French filmmaker Mathieu Kassovitz.

Exact description. Fast shipment, on time. Plays all the way through, no freezes or skips. Not suitable for those who have had serious trauma in relationships. Definitely entertaining. When two great minds think alike they can be deadly.
Knowing too much makes you another victim. Prying for answers, rushes the game. It's not the same after, your in it for the ride. If you got no game prepare to go insane. Gather your facts or lose your job.

Good horror movie. Much better than I expected.

This is a must see that you will watch over and over. Get popcorn and drinks ready because you will stay on the edge of your seat. Not intended for children. The ending is crazy good!

This was a tough one. In the beginning Everette brings his girlfriend Meredith, to his parent's home to spend Christmas with his family. While Meredith is definitely high maintenance, and somewhat narcissistic, the family isn't very nice to her.
The word "bully", comes to mind. I found it a bit difficult to watch. In fact, at one point I turned it off, determined not to finish it. But after ten minutes, I forced myself to continue, and I'm glad I did.
It does get a bit political at one point, but it doesn't last long. Eventually, things become softer, and the love the family has for each other emerges. The underlying issues that are being faced, are dealt with, and the strained relationships become much less strained.
And while I don't want to give anything away, the film ends on a bit of a somber note. At first, I was going to give it one star, but after finishing the film, I gave it three. I'm glad I watched the entire film, but I doubt I will ever watch it again.

Excellent Christmas story that has lots of laughs but is also heart-warming. Unlike so many comedies, it is not focused on sex and vulgarity. It is a movie I consider probably one of the best Christmas movies -up there with Love Actually but without the sex.
Jalldre
Ive always enjoyed this movie. Its along the lines of The Santa Clause. A down to earth feel good movie where a high powered, cut throat exec chooses career over love and ultimately gets a chance to experience what life would be like had he chosen wisely.
Nicholas Cage is wonderful and the actress who plays his daughter is precious. The two of them make this movie shine. This is a great Christmas movie.

When a child wants to bring her divorced parents back together for the holidays, she asks Santa for help. Her brother and grandmother devise a plan to make her wish come true.
Rated G
All I Want for Christmas is an entertaining and enjoyable way to spend about 90 minutes during the Christmas season. The movie centers on a sister (Hallie) who asks Santa (wonderfully played by Leslie Nielsen) to reunite her parents (recently divorced) and her brother (Ethan) who devises a plot he hopes will work the magic.
Anyone familiar with Christmas movies already knows how the story will end, but the road to the ending is worth seeing! Two things I found extra interesting in this movie are, first, Leslie Nielsen, although only shown in the movie for less than five minutes, is one of the best Santa's I've seen.
His costume and the way he handles himself makes watching this movie worth it all by itself. Secondly, Ethan (the brother) has a whole lot of hair with a wave in the front. Yet he tumbles in the hall at school, plays in the snow and races full speed from his home to Macy's without ever disturbing a single strand of hair! Quite impressive!.

I saw this movie online, liked it so much I wanted to add it to my holiday dvd collection. Unfortunately it was a very pricey item during the Christmas season. So I waited and purchased it off-season for a great price!! I believe this is a very well made classic holiday movie we will enjoy every Christmas for years to come.

All I Want for Christmas is not only well casted it is well acted. The chemistry between the actors is remarkable. And as always Lauren Becall is letter perfect as are the other actors. It is one of those movies you like to watch many times.
