`The truth is out there,' and FBI agents Scully and Mulder seek it in this sci-fi phenomenon about their quest to explain the seemingly unexplainable. Their strange cases include UFO sightings, alien abductions and just about anything else paranormal. This release collects every episode from the debut season of The X-Files.

A promising but uneven start to a great series

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's tough to watch the first season of The X-Files without thinking about what it would evolve into. While the basic ingredients are there, the two leads have not found their footing yet, and there are just as many misses as hits in terms of that first bunch of episodes. Still, there's a lot of promise, as well as some truly exciting moments.

This collection brings together four of the most important films in the career of cinematic icon Humphrey Bogart - Casablanca, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Maltese Falcon, and The African Queen, for which he won his one and only Oscar.

Quite literally the best of Bogart

Verified Purchase:Yes
While it's true that many 'best of' DVD collections are often lacking, this one does not disappoint. Featuring four of Bogart's best, the transfers are crisp, and three of the four films (all but The African Queen) are packed with extras. A fitting tribute to a Hollywood legend.

A thrilling true story
on February 20, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
While Everest certainly works better on a big screen, the Blu-ray retains a lot of the power and majesty of the film. Beautifully shot, with a riveting story and some amazing performances, it's well worth seeing. The special features include an informative director's commentary that will fill in some of the gaps of information for you.

The third season of Under the Dome (based on the Stephen King novel of the same name) continues to follow the residents of Chester's Mill after finding themselves inexplicably cut off from the world by a transparent dome surrounding their town.

Good riddance to a series that lost its way
on February 20, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
For Stephen King fans, the small-screen adaptation of his mammoth novel has always been a disappointment, featuring none of the plot of the original material, and characters that resembled the book version in name only. While the writers may have had some idea where they were planning to take the series, it certainly wasn't apparent on screen. Just as well season three was its last.

One of the best X-Files seasons

Verified Purchase:Yes
In some ways, the third season of The X-Files may well be its best. The series has hit its stride , with convincing performances by its two leads, some intriguing storylines, and a stable of writers and directors that were comfortable with the series. One of the best seasons, by far.

This release compiles every episode from season four of Grimm the supernatural series that follows Nick Buckhardt (David Giuntoli), a Portland homicide detective who is also a descendant of a long line of "Grimms." Grimms are those who are responsible to help balance humanity from the creatures of myth and monsters of the ancient society by using his newfound powers to sense evil lurking in the human world.

Season 4 still worth seeing
on February 20, 2016
Posted by: Gaspode
from Park Ridge, NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Most genre series tend to fizzle out after a couple of seasons, but for some reason Grimm does not appear to have fallen into that pitfall. Perhaps it's the chemistry between the main characters, or some increasingly exciting storylines, but season four easily holds up to previous seasons.

A lovely little sleeper

Verified Purchase:Yes
Most people won't have seen this lovely little sleeper starring Ben Kingsley and Patricia Clarkson. In some ways, that may be a good thing, because it actually plays better on a small screen.

Costner and Connery at their best

Verified Purchase:Yes
Brian De Palma's superb 1987 thriller, about the battle between the forces of Elliot Ness and Al Capone hasn't dated a bit. Great direction, good performances and excellent art direction, costume, hair and makeup make the film well worth seeing.

Damon is winning in this thoughtful sci-fi drama
on February 15, 2016
Posted by: Gaspode
from Park Ridge, NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Hard to believe that The Martian began life as a self-published novel, only to become a surprise 2015 hit. The always-dependable Matt Damon turns in a winning performance, accompanied by a number of smaller, but still worthwhile supporting roles. The DVD is not as unforgettable as seeing it on a big screen, but it's still highly worthwhile.

Bowie's final album is still a winner
on February 15, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
While one wonders if Bowie had a good idea that this was his last original studio album, it certainly bears an added resonance now. Some lovely tracks, including a few truly memorable ones. Definitely worth a listen.
