Decent, Stylish Action Thriller
on February 18, 2017
Posted by: Dragonfly120
Verified Purchase:Yes
Last Knights is basically a direct-to-DVD riff of the Keanu Reeves blockbuster 47 Ronin, which was inspired by a true story and blended with the heavily fictionalized story-telling Japanese theater performances use. Last Knights, on the other hand, features very little fantastical elements, nor the sweeping scope and scale that made 47 Ronin so huge. The star power in Last Knights is solid, the action is stylish, and the production is impressive, but the movie isn't one that's very memorable. Still, for how cheap you can find it on blu-ray, it's worth watching and owning.

A Brutal, Gut-wrenching Thriller
on January 28, 2017
Posted by: Dragonfly120
Verified Purchase:Yes
While this came out before the passing of Anton Yelchin, it didn't receive as much publicity until after (may he rest in peace). Yelchin is legendary, and he brings nothing but brilliance to a young band member who witnesses a brutal murder and is trapped, with his band, in the venue they just played in and run by the sadistic Darcy (Patrick Stewart). I won't go into great detail, other than that this is one of the best thrillers of the year, and a powerhouse of gut-wrenching terror. There are few films as visceral as this.

![10 Cloverfield Lane [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray/DVD] [2016]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5086/5086536_sa.jpg)
Posted by: Dragonfly120
Verified Purchase:Yes
10 Cloverfield Lane is a pseudo-sequel to Cloverfield, but instead of being found-footage it's a standard film, but with something truly remarkable; it's perfect. The story: When Michelle (Mary E. Winstead) is forced off the road by an unseen driver, she wakes to find herself in a bunker with Howard (John Goodman) and an injured man named Emmett (John Gallagher jr.). Howard tells her the outside world is gone, and they are all that's left. But, soon, Michelle starts to realize nothing is as it seems, and begins a desperate fight to figure out what is truly happening.
What makes the movie perfect is every piece fits together. The direction and script are tight-nit and expertly woven together, with not a single plot hole left in. All the characters are built up and hit their peaks of development through strength or conviction. Even the ending which some found to be a pitch out of right field, came about through all the clues and hints dropped throughout the movie; you just have to look for them. And even the musical score from Bear McCreary is a masterpiece of suspense, ratcheting the tension in ways you wouldn't imagine. Obviously the movie isn't going to be liked by everyone, but even if you don't like it, you can't deny the incredible achievement this film is.

Barebones Blu-ray, But Still Worth It.
on November 10, 2016
Posted by: Dragonfly120
Verified Purchase:Yes
Daredevil Season 1, the Netflix/Marvel sensation, has finally come to blu-ray, but without any semblance of special features. Only the episodes are included in the 4-disc set, but still, they look even better on blu-ray than streaming 4K HD. Also, if you are a Marvel fan, having Daredevil on blu-ray period is a must, regardless of the lack of behind-the-scenes and commentary, but, only if the price is right, and for $26, that's alright.

An Over-the-Top, Groovy Gory Time
on November 6, 2016
Posted by: Dragonfly120
Verified Purchase:Yes
Ash vs. Evil Dead is the official sequel to Evil Dead 2 (because of Universal Pictures, Army of Darkness isn't spoken of), where Ash Williams must comes to terms with the past and face off against the Evil once again, which now threatens the entire world. Ash gains two new sidekicks (Pablo and Kelly), and they set out to rid the world of the Evil, before history repeats itself in spades.
This series is for fans of the film series, including the reboot/sequel Evil Dead, so, if you're not acquainted or unfamiliar with it, know what you're getting into. It's gory, over-the-top, creepy, grotesque and impossibly violent in every glorious way imaginable. It does so without going the direction of the Saw sequels, having disgusting gore for gore's sake. This is a solid good time, with laughs and scares littered throughout.

An Epic and Heart-Wrenching Fantasy
on November 6, 2016
Posted by: Dragonfly120
Verified Purchase:Yes
Kingsglaive: FFXV is the newest Final Fantasy film that starts the saga of Final Fantasy XV, of which continues into the newest game. The movie focuses on the beginning of the war against King Lucis and the crystal at the heart of the empire, which the Kingsglaive are sworn to protect, along with the King. Now, if you're not acquainted with the series, it's okay. You can still watch the film and be blown away with the action, the voice and motion capture performances, and the mind-blowing cinematography through the work of CG. I'm amazed there aren't better reviews of the movie, but it may be due to the fact that it ties into a video game instead of being it's own entity, which is why the first Final Fantasy film, Spirits Within has the best critic rating. Still, this is a must-see, and a must-own for FF fans or hardcore film nuts. One of the most beautiful films of the year.

![Lights Out [Blu-ray] [2016]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5582/5582008_sa.jpg)
Posted by: Dragonfly120
Verified Purchase:Yes
Lights Out is produced by James Wan and directed by the same man who gave us the short film the movie is based on. I can't go into detail without spoiling any part of the story, but I have to say, this movie truly plays into the fear of the dark in spades. The only negative about this movie is that there are a couple cliches, but other than that, it's a lean mean machine of terror that knows not to dwell on dumb subplots. A must-see and own for horror and film fans.

Two Outstanding Sci-fi Blockbusters
on November 4, 2016
Posted by: Dragonfly120
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Star Trek reboot saga is a truly incredible feat. It was able to not only do the original saga justice, but instill its own style and brilliance through fast-paced action, heartfelt story-telling and outstanding performances. This 4-disc blu-ray set is the best offer around, with all special features and a digital copy of each. Easily a must own for any sci-fi or Trekkie fan, and of film nuts.

A Taut and Visually Striking Adaptation
on November 4, 2016
Posted by: Dragonfly120
Verified Purchase:Yes
Tim Burton has always had an eye for intriguing imagery, and this is toned down for a much more bleak, yet enthralling tale/adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim musical. Now, I'm not sure why people didn't realize this was a musical, but that shouldn't keep Burton fans or movie lovers from watching, because from the performances to the story and direction, this gruesome tale of misery and misfortune is one that has to be seen, and demands it in full.

A Solid, Brutal War Film
on November 4, 2016
Posted by: Dragonfly120
Verified Purchase:Yes
Enemy at the Gates is an intense, gut-wrenching war drama that showcases part of the Russian front of World War II instead of the American fronts in the Pacific and European Theaters of War. The cast is outstanding, and the direction is, at a great many times relentless in the brutality. The production is outstanding, the music heart-wrenching (especially coming from James Horner), but the script itself is somewhat lacking when it comes to the whole romantic subplot involving the two Russian soldiers who fall in love with the same woman. Other than that quip, the movie is a truly solid war film.
