"Big Bang" Season 9 Continues to Delight
on November 4, 2016
Posted by: RancePyle

Verified Purchase:Yes
Paradigm shifts in the gang's relationships drive the ninth season of "The Big Bang Theory." Sheldon and Amy finally get physical, Leonard and Penny seek out a new normal now that they're married, and Bernadette and Howard may be expecting. Terrific ensemble work from all, and scripts that still crackle with wit and a respect for nerd culture.

Marvel's "Civil War" Is Best Superhero Film Yet
on October 19, 2016
Posted by: RancePyle
from Kansas City, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
"Civil War" is a fanboy's wet dream. The Russo brothers (Captain America: the Winter Soldier) bring their keen action sensibilities to this Ultimate clash of icons. Tom Holland is terrific as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, doing more in 30 minutes of screen time than the last 5 Spider-Man flicks combined. Loads of great extras make this an essential part of one's Superhero collection. The retuning cast all slip back into their characters with ease and applomb, and the Battle Royal between Team Cap and Team Stark is worth the purchase price alone.

"Hateful Eight" on Blu-ray light on extras
on May 31, 2016
Posted by: RancePyle
from Kansas City, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
The transfer is crisp, the visuals lush, the soundtrack magnificent, but there is a surprising dearth of extras on this Blu-ray/DVD combo set. No director commentary, and only two supplemental features on the 70mm process and a terse Samuel L Jackson glimpse of the set. Surprisingly few behind the scenes docs, and no overture or intermission, as the Road Show theatrical release featured. The film itself is vintage Tarantino, but I was expecting more bang for my buck with this package. Especially in light of more bare bones DVD packaging. One expects more from Blu-ray editions.

![Game of Thrones: The Complete Fifth Season [5 Discs]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/c4c27204-162f-42cc-87c3-ccaff9eee2e3.jpg)
Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey and Emilia Clarke star in the fifth season of the HBO fantasy drama series Game of Thrones, a show based on the A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels by George R.R. Martin and adapted for television by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. All ten episodes of Season Five are featured in this collection, as Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) joins the mysterious House of Black and White to become an assassin, Daenerys (Clarke) and Tyrion (Dinklage) join forces, Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) continues her quest for power at the expense of Cersei (Headey), and the villainous Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) continues to leave a trail of terror.

GoTs Season Five Box Set Doesn't Disappoint
on May 8, 2016
Posted by: RancePyle
from Kansas City, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
This box set perfectly complements its predecessors, with audio commaries on each episode, which enhance the viewer's appreciation of the love, care and craftsmanship that goes into producing this epic series. The supplemental features also are informative and fascinating, especially the "Real History Behind Game of Thrones" documentary. Knowing the historical inspirations for characters and events deepens the viewer's understanding of the enormity of GRRM's canvas.

Bridge of Spies Sheds Light on Cold War
on March 20, 2016
Posted by: RancePyle
from Kansas City, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
Spielberg once again delivers a taut historical drama with an all-star cast, headed by Tom Hanks and Oscar winner Mark Rylance. It's both a period piece and a spy thriller, as Hanks must broker an exchange of political prisoners in the height of the Cold War. The transfer is clean and sharp, with informative and engrossing extra features on the period and on the production itself.

Brilliant transfer of the film to Blu-ray, with fun bonus features which enhance its verisimilitude. Only disappointment is that there is no commentary track.

Jurassic World Blu-ray edition doesn't disappoint

Verified Purchase:Yes
Special features are informative and fun, and fairly easily navigable. Bonus that the package includes a DVD (for sharing with friends who don't own a Blu-ray player), and digital copy. Welcome addition to the library.

"Not-The-Hobbit" Scores, Despite Excessive Padding
on April 12, 2014
Posted by: RancePyle
from Kansas City, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
Once again, it's lovely being immersed in Peter Jackson's lush evocation of Tolkien's Middle Earth, but he's too enamored of his own talent at this point. A friend groused, after having seen it during its initial release, that he'd just endured "Two hours of Not-The-Hobbit." When I reminded him that the film was two hours, forty minutes long, he said: "EXACTLY! I just spent two hours watching Not-The-Hobbit." And he was correct. Mitigating factors include Sir Ian McKellan as Gandalf and Benedict Cumberbatch as the voice of Smaug. Still unsure *why* (aside from crass financial concerns) this short novel needed to be stretched into three films. But at this point, I guess I'm all in.

What's great about it: The total package, including special features, is very fan-centric and full of intimate glimpses behind the scenes.
What's not so great: The excessive plot padding and stalling before getting us to the confrontation with the Dragon.
