    Steve Jobs 2015 Film

    I saw Steve Jobs and I really liked it. I came into it knowing it would be a dramatization. Actually it felt like a stage play to me the way it was structured. I was so interested later last night I went to On Demand and watched Alex Gibneys documentary Steve Jobs: Man Inside the Machine. It was...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Right Stuff -- in Blu-ray

    Mr Harris I agree totally! I also saw it at the Plitt Century Plaza on a trip to L.A. It is my number 5 favorite film of all time. I love everything about it, but I really loved the score by Bill Conti. I also remember it was the first time I paid more for parking than the movie.

    With demise of places like Tower Records where are collectors buying their dvd's?

    I too am very sad about the small stores going out of business. I love to by things from a person. Here in Seattle we had Videophile which is going out of business and was Laserdisc only when it opened. They gave a discount for preorders. But they were more than BB and CC on a lot of things...
