It's been over a month and my movie still hasn't arrived. Not too happy! I do live overseas, but have a military APO address. Other items I've purchased normally arrive within 2 weeks. Not too happy!

The product failed to perform. It simply stopped midway through a scene. I now see that it was a two sided disc which would have been nice to know when I purchased it. I returned the product as defective to the manufacturer as instructed and asked that I be credited for product and shipping. I have still not heard a word.
Very dissatisfied with my first Amazon experience.

Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi ARE the Blues Brothers. Watching this again after 20 years or so, I'm amazed that the movie hasn't aged at all - the transfer looks great and the pair seem made to born for the part - in their shades and suits.
Credit has to go to John Landis who was at the peak of his powers for putting together a completely seamless comedy-drama-musical, replete with car chases, somersaulting church congregations, and bazooka wielding women. It sounds ridiculous to describe it, but it comes together completely. According to Wikipedia, this made the film at the time, one of the most expensive movies ever at US $ 30 million.
More than a 'Mission of God' - the Blues Brothers is a historical trip through the blues, as Jake and Ellroy Elwood go in search of their band, they find and live the music. What other film would feature John Lee Hooker, James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles credibly in a storyline? Simply remarkable. A film like this today would be impossible to make. They really don't make them like this anymore.
The documentary that's featured isn't tremendously exciting but informative nonetheless.
PS - I think Dan Aykroyd lost something when Belushi died.

The story line, the music and the age old musicians plus the comedy styles of Belushi and Aykroyd make this a timeless movie. One that can be enjoyed by many a generation for years and years to come.The 25th anniversary edition includes 2 versions of the film. Twice the enjoyment factor plus the expanded version is great against the original theatrical version.
