Two big-budget church pageants

Verified Purchase:Yes
A good price for two HD Biblical epics, but also a double reminder why they're so tedious. Old Hollywood didn't have the cultural power to treat religious stories with anything but fawning reverence. That turns out to be especially damaging for big-budget films. Profit-minded people investing big $ in them are already reluctant to take risks or try anything novel. So everyone settles for stale, paint-by-numbers results that are almost as boring as your worst childhood Sunday School memories.

Bigger budget, more blood, less fun

Verified Purchase:Yes
Redneck frat boys on the way to the big football game?! Dennis Hopper as a chainsaw-wielding Texas lawman? Cannibalistic chili cook-offs?! So many intriguing premises this movie sets up and then abandons. It ends up competing with its inferior imitators and settles for being a lackluster rehash of the breakthrough original. Sad to see it become just another forgettable Eighties slasher sequel.

The first full-length album from POR is only about 40 minutes, but Chuck D's voice over Tom Morello's guitar is a welcome way to drown out the noise of Trumpworld. Public Enemy & Rage Against the Machine were in my stereo, anyway, before I had even heard about the new album. But you might want to sample their sound with the "Party's Over" EP before shelling out $14 for an "LP" that may not even fill out two sides of vinyl.

I've only had it a month, but this has been a perfectly fine way to connect for a second DVD player to a flatscreen TV. And it was the cheapest option.

$10 to see the Antichrist's career in high-def!

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's hard to take Sam Neill seriously in "Omen III" when he's threatening a life-size crucifix, but that's only a minor drawback when you get four pretty sophisticated horror movies on Blu-Ray at such a low price. Plus there's lots of bonus features on the original film and the remake, including commentaries for each and every one.

Like owning "The Wizard of OZ" on Blu-Ray
on June 27, 2017
Posted by: alex4
from Sparta, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
"Sgt. Pepper" doesn't have to be your favorite rock album for you to recognize that it's probably the greatest rock album ever recorded. So it only makes sense to hear it with the greatest-possible sound quality. The extraordinary effort to record songs that wouldn't (couldn't?) be performed live has been rewarded with a second remastering within ten years, this time to mark its 50th anniversary. Upload these songs to iTunes and hear them jump out in contrast to the other CD tracks in your playlist.

Stripped-down Sabbath (for better or worse)
on June 2, 2017
Posted by: alex4
from Sparta, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
The songs on these two discs span Sabbath's first six albums, & reduce things down to the brutal riffing the group does best. That works especially well for "newer" songs, because the albums "Sabotage" &, especially, "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" suffer from too many synthesizers & studio effects. "Master of Reality" reached a perfect balance, so it's a bit disappointing to not hear strings on "Sweetleaf." Still, the bare-bones feel is positive overall, & the only moment that really falls flat is the tedious jamming on "Wicked World."

Is this the new normal for SW bonus features?
on April 18, 2017
Posted by: alex4
from Sparta, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
Maybe I shouldn't expect the same DVD bonus features in a world of online content and streaming. But "Star Wars" is not just another ephemeral piece of pop culture. As with the initial release of "The Force Awakens", why no commentary? If they had just included one this time, I might even be OK with the absence of deleted scenes. Lucasfilm and Disney have won the old fans back with these new movies, so why can't they go the extra mile and give us the kinds of bells and whistles included in the Episode I-VI Blu-Rays?

Even "Nothing" starts somewhere
on March 23, 2017
Posted by: alex4
from Sparta, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
Because "Seinfeld" just got better as its plots became more and more outlandish, it's easy to forget about the earliest, more conventional episodes. But, of course, they're more than worth revisiting. And the documentary about the show's origins features Larry David remembering his anxiety about committing to more and more episodes. (Almost like getting a bonus episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm!")

This came about a decade before "The Last Temptation of Christ" and faced the added hurdle of being a COMEDY. But damned if not being supposed to laugh makes you laugh even more!
