Not their greatest season, but enjoyable

Verified Purchase:Yes
I felt some frustration through "Castle"s season 4. There were still a lot of good episodes, but in some ways it felt like they hit the 'relationship' wall pretty badly. The instances of "why doesn't [ ] tell [ ] the important thing already" do start to drag when a show goes on this long. To its credit, I wouldn't call this a deal-breaker or a reason to have stopped. For all it takes to get there, they payoff is big.
The amount of bonus features felt lighter this time around. A stunt analysis is based on a 2-part story and a feature on Bowman & his father is tied to one other episode. There is an interesting 'radio play' sort of one with Nathan Fillion & Molly Quinn, some good stuff but not really about the "Castle" show.

The third season of Castle finds novelist Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) and NYPD detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) struggling to make sense of their complicated relationship while tackling some of the strangest homicides in New York City. Meanwhile, Castle must contend with his not-so-peaceful family life, which includes keeping up with his precocious daughter, and dealing with his demanding mother.

"Castle" continues strong run in an excellent set
on June 9, 2014
Posted by: 9thDoctor

Verified Purchase:Yes
"Castle" continues a strong run in its 3rd season, and this set presents it well. The storylines ramp up to a more intense and emotional level. The 'almost together, never quite so' factor is stronger in this season, but hasn't yet reached the frustrating point. The writing is still sharp and the casting is as well.
The bonus features are less funny, more on the informative side than before. Broad roundtables and in-depth studies generally span the whole season, with one specifically about "To Love and Die in LA".

The second season of Castle chronicles the unique bond between a pair of unlikely friends: crime novelist Richard castle, and no-nonsense NYPD detective Kate Beckett. Despite the odds, they work well together when it comes to solving very real crimes. Includes never-before-seen footage, on-set bloopers, and exclusive footage from behind-the-scenes.

Great show gets its first full season

Verified Purchase:Yes
After its mid-season start, "Castle" got a full order for season 2 and really got going. We could predict that there would be a "Moonlighting" angle to the Castle & Beckett interaction, but they found some good ways to handle it early on.
Besides the episodes, this set has a good assortment of bonus features that range from funny to informative.

A touching docudrama on "Mary Poppins" origin
on April 19, 2014
Posted by: 9thDoctor
from Kissimmee, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
While not a true documentary, this is a pretty close docudrama depiction of the background to PL Travers's "Mary Poppins". As the story shifts through different time periods, we see the author's childhood & the real-life events that inspired the character, while also watching the time that Walt Disney spent trying to convince Travers to grant him movie rights to the story.
It is a heavy emotional movie, well-acted by all the principles involved.

This is a nice bundle set with two of the classic-era Muppet movies together. The look and sound on them is great. Only real down-side for me was that there are very few bonus features.

Fun collectible and game piece

I'm still learning the game, but so far the Sorcerer Mickey looks like a fun add-on character to use with Disney Infinity. Besides gameplay, the figure itself is a well-made collectible that looks great for display.

Great release of a cult classic cartoon
on August 26, 2013
Posted by: 9thDoctor
from Kissimmee, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a fan of this 1980's cartoon and an avid player of the "Dungeons & Dragons" game, so of course I had to own this show on DVD. A few years ago, another distributor released it in a very nicely packaged box with a lot of 'paper' extras (book, poster, etc.) and bonus features. It was a quite well done set, though there was a big problem with the music on one particular episode.
This release has had the music corrected, so it is a proper presentation of the episodes. On the down side, it does not have any of the 'paper' items from the previous set, nor does it have any extra features on the DVDs themselves. It is just 3 discs in paper envelopes in a single-sized standard case.

What's great about it: Good quality presentation. Fixes a big music mistake on the previous set.
What's not so great: Plain packaging, no extra 'stuff' like the previous set.

Infamous slasher series gets prime release
on August 26, 2013
Posted by: 9thDoctor
from Kissimmee, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This set gathers together all of the films from this infamous slasher movie series into one package. I believe this is the first time they've been bundled, and maybe the first DVD release for some of it. Long out of print in any previous format, this is a bargain price for all the movies. And along with them, it is loaded with plenty of extra features and documentaries. If you are a horror film fan, it's a great deal.

Another great release from Shout Factory
on August 26, 2013
Posted by: 9thDoctor
from Kissimmee, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is another of the "Halloween" series movies released by the 'Scream Factory' division of the Shout Factory distributors. The story in the movie itself is a pretty "love it or hate it" situation; they tried to turn the "Halloween" title into an anthology type series with an unrelated plot but at the time it failed, pushing them to go back to the original Michael Myers ideas.
The presentation on this BluRay is excellent. Great sound and picture quality, the best I've ever come across. Loaded with documentaries and special features, another one where I'm still trying to watch them all. If you were a fan of this film, get this set.

A good horror movie from the slasher period
on August 26, 2013
Posted by: 9thDoctor
from Kissimmee, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This sequel to the original "Halloween" picks up immediately where the first movie leaves off. The plot is about what you'd expect from a movie of that time period, for most folks you either like that sort of thing or don't and that's that.
Shout Factory has done an excellent job with this BluRay release. The picture and sound are great, better than just about any other way I've watched it. It's loaded with documentaries and extra features, I'm still only part way through them.
If you like this movie, this is the best presentation of it out there.
