![Moonlight [Blu-ray] [2016]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5721/5721936_sa.jpg)

Moonlight was 2016's well deserved best picture winner and after viewing the film it's easy to see why it beat out the heavily favored but overly sentimental La La Land. Jenkin's film in an honest and compelling tale about a young man finding his identity amidst the perils that come with a drug addicted mother and constant bullying. Stunning performances all around, candor and humanity propel this to the top of my favorites list for 2016.

Daniel Craig's Bond has had a great run of fantastic entries into this long running franchise but SPECTER is a bit of a stumble. The opening sequence is as good an action sequence as you would find in any other Bond film but after that the plot meanders and the normally brilliant Christoph Waltz just isn't given enough screen time. Worthwhile for fans, a hard pass for anyone else.

![Land of the Dead [Blu-ray] [2 Discs] [2005]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/3327/33271259_sa.jpg)

George Romero recently passed away and left behind a legacy as the pioneer of the modern zombie film. Land of the Dead was his last worthwhile zombie flick and an innovator within the genre and this scream factory release contains a new restoration and a laundry list of new special features that caters to fans. If you love zombie flicks, this is the definitive release of a quintessential film from the master of the genre, though Land of the Dead falls well short of the magnificence of both Night and Dawn of the Dead.

The best Disney Movie in a Long Time...
on December 1, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
With a killer soundtrack and a gorgeous setting, Moana proves to be the best Disney film in years. Its catchy tunes and loveable characters will keep your family entertained and the blu ray is top notch with excellent picture and audio quality in addition to a healthy selection of special features. Must Buy.

Gorgeous Arthouse Horror
on November 17, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Recalling films like Suspiria and Black Swan, The Neon Demon is a trippy venture into the world of high fashion modeling where young women are preyed upon as part of a Darwinian nightmare. Stunningly gorgeous with a few shocking scenes, The Neon Demon will stay with you long after the credits roll.

Best version on the market
on April 30, 2016
Posted by: BavarianGod
from San Antonio, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you want a copy of Francis Ford Copopola's Dracula and you don't already have it this is the version you want. If you own this film already and want to see the exquisite production design down to the last detail then this is the version to upgrade to. As a bonus, this version comes with a few new special features and can be had for around $10 while on sale.

SynopsisOn the remote island of Katorga-12, a dark secret lurks. This hidden island is the site of a catastrophic, Chernobyl-size accident — the Singularity — that fractured time itself. Prepare to travel into a haunting and unsettling environment unburdened by the constraints of ordinary time, where shifting forces will buffet you back and forth from the present to the past and back again. Will you have the strength, the wits and the nerve it will take to harness the forces of time and unravel a deadly conspiracy once and for all?Singularity thrusts you into an ever-shifting world where time as you understand it does not apply. Brace yourself to be hurtled to the past by sudden time waves that jolt you back in time to the year 1950, then send you rocketing back to the present again. Roam through an environment populated by eerie, time-ravaged creatures, and wield the powerful Time Manipulation Device to turn the tide of time in your favor and help you solve the conspiracy that lies at the heart of Katorga-12.

Singularity is a solid first person shooter that has players navigating a world and manipulating time. It's part of a dying breed of story driven first person shooters and, while not the best (check out Bioshock if you haven't already) it is a satisfying entry for those who have blown through every other title. Level design and gun-play are average and shifting through time makes this a fresh experience though the gimmick doesn't sustain the whole experience by itself.

This is the version fans of this film need

Verified Purchase:Yes
The first release of The Fifth Element was not known for being a quality release so this new 4k restoration is a much needed upgrade from the old disc. It's sharper and boasts better colors while retaining the old special features. Buy this version and don't waste your time with a cheaper disc.

Excellent upgfrade from the old Blu

Posted by: BavarianGod
from San Antonio, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
This new 4k restoration boasts improved colors and more detail than the original blu ray release. All of the old special features are in tact and it can be had for around $10. The film itself is one of Luc Besson's best and one of Natalie Portman's first roles. Highly recommended.

An Entertaining Anthology
on November 28, 2015
Posted by: BavarianGod
from San Antonio, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
A collaboration between horror masters Stephen King and George Romero, this is a collection of short films that mix horror, humor and even a dose of camp. It's an entertaining cocktail with some shorts being far more memorable than others (the one about a neat freak that suffers a massive cockroach infestation will make your skin crawl) but as a package it's sufficiently entertaining. The transfer is not the best and there is little else on the disc but for the price, horror fans should not pass this one by.

BavarianGod's Answers
what is the best program for stop motion or animation?
Stop motion animation is the process of taking still shots of physical models or rigs and moving them slightly between photos to produce animations that are similar to a flip book. That said, is is less about software and more about having the materials to create props, scenery and heaps of patience because it's a slow process. Any editing software package should allow you to import still photos and string them together to create animations however.
If you are interested in computer generated animation than I would recommend trying Blender for 3d animation since it's free and quite powerful. If you are able to grasp Blender and want to move on to something more professional than I would suggest Autodesk Maya or Cinema 4d. Along with those programs Photoshop (creating and editing textures. GIMP can also be used and is entirely free), Adobe After Effects (useful for post production effects) and some sort of editing software will be necessary to make complete films. For 2d animation I would recommend trying to learn Adobe Flash.
