In 1958 British Author Michael Bond introduced us to the duffle coat wearing, marmalade-loving bear Paddington. Then in 1975 BBC television broadcast a series about the beloved bear and in 2014 Warner Bros. gave us a live-action feature film. Last year they followed that up with Paddington 2, which garnered both critical and audience acclaim once again reminding everyone why we loved the little brown bear in the first place. Now, The Blu-ray and DVD are coming to stores and are ready for purchase.

As the film opens Paddington (Ben Whishaw; Cloud Atlas) is living with the Brown family in suburban England. He has basically helped to make his neighborhood a fun place to live and most everyone who knows him seems to love him (with a few exceptions). He has a nice life and is pretty content but he wishes he could share it with his Aunt Lucy (Imelda Staunton; Vera Drake). His compromise is to try and save up in order to buy her an old, expensive popup book of London. When he announces this to a large crowd who has gathered for the opening of the famous fair they all seem to think he is sweet and adorable (but we already know that).

However, one individual has a more sinister plan. One night as Paddington is walking through town he sees a thief breaking into his friend's, Mr. Gruber's (Jim Broadbent; Gangs of New York) shop. Paddington follows the criminal inside and sees that he is stealing the popup book. Paddington follows the thief but he, unfortunately, gets mistaken for the perpetrator himself and is arrested and convicted of the crime. As the cute, little, brown bear ends up behind bars, the Brown family, especially Mrs. Brown (Sally Hawkins; The Shape of Water) starts investigating in order to clear Paddington's name.

Whishaw does a terrific job of voicing the bear, which I can only imagine is no easy task as the pressure to "get it right" must have been immense. Luckily he does just that providing a soothing, innocent tone, which makes you want to love the bear all the more. Hawkins is a little "kooky" but lovable. Hugh Grant (Four Weddings and a Funeral) as old-time actor Phoenix Buchanan adds an evil dimension to the whole film while the rest of the supporting cast mesh well and complete the film, especially the group who befriends Paddington in prison.

The Blu-ray is 1080p resolution with a 2.39:1 aspect ratio. The colors pop off the screen and details are very clear. The Dolby Atmos 7.1 audio is sharp and clean especially during the musical numbers (including a hilarious one involving Grant). The special features include Paddington: The Bear Truth, Audio Commentary with Writer-Director Paul King, The Browns and Paddington: A Special Bond, Knuckles: A Fistful of Marmalade, The Magical Mystery of Paddington's Pop-Up Book,, The (Once) Famous Faces of Phoenix Buchanan, How to Make a Marmalade Sandwich, and the Phoenix Buchanan Music Video. Some of these features are as adorable as the movie.

The film is sweet if a little cheesy but the "feel good" factor makes it fun for the whole family. There are a couple of very funny moments and even the "harden" criminals are almost sweet. The production value is top notch and the detail of Paddington's fur is exceptional. The story is not original but cute nonetheless. There is a reason the film did so well with critics and fans alike and is worth the price. This is one movie you definitely want to own.

9: My best first date: I have dated friends a lot, so like... I didn’t realize I was on a first date when I was on a first date, sort of thing. I can think of two times with former partners that if I had to I would consider “First Dates”, though one of them we had already spent like... not THE NIGHT together, but we had done a lot of making out and such beforehand (best night ever). Both “First Dates” involved just spending a shit ton of time together. We just walked around Halifax for HOURS. Like, one of them we met up at like eight in the morning and didn’t part until.... I don’t even think it was suppertime I think it was more like 9/10pm. We were really into each other and it was sort of the moment where we were like “Yes, we can’t NOT be together. There’s too strong a connection for us to not be together.” I remember it being a very conscious decision to be together, and it had to be, because at the time I was dating someone else.The other date, a few years later, was the first guy I had been with that I had felt a connection to anywhere close to the one I felt with the previous. We met up at about four in the afternoon and walked around until midnight just spending time and getting to know one another. I always say that he grew on me and that I didn’t like him very much at first, but then I look back and think, “Wait, we spent eight hours together on our first date. I was obviously more into him than I realized.” And we ended up dating for two years.
