![Deadpool [Includes Digital Copy] [SteelBook] [Only @ Best Buy] [Blu-ray] [2016]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5089/5089900_sa.jpg)

Deadpool is a movie that easily have been screwed up in a lot of ways, in a lot of places throughout the process. Thankfully, it seems like everyone involved in this movie cared about doing right by the character. This movie has great action, a ton of laughs, some excellent performances (particularly by Ryan Reynolds, in the role he was born to play), and best of all, it is true to the comic book source material in every way that matters (but does stray from it in minor ways that don't).
The blu ray has a lot of special features, including two different commentary tracks, deleted scenes, and darn near every bit of marketing they made for the film. Sadly, the Best Buy exclusive version does not include any additional bonus content, but the steelbook is pretty awesome, if you like that sort of thing, which I do.

![Where to Invade Next [Blu-ray] [2015]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5124/5124100_sa.jpg)

Michael Moore is a pretty divisive figure, even among people who generally agree with him, because he often comes across as smug, or preachy, or whathaveyou. For those who have seen his other films, you may notice that, especially in the last few, Michael Moore had gotten rather cynical and angry. But Mike's latest documentary, Where to Invade Next, shows a much lighter, and hopeful Moore. With optimism and humor, this movie and its director/narrator paint a vivid picture of what we as Americans could do and could be, if we could just get our collective head out of our rear.
Like the rest of Moore's films, this is much more likely to appeal to liberals than to conservatives, but I would say that this movie is less divisive along political lines than his usual fare.

![Ip Man Trilogy [Blu-ray] [SteelBook]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/4962/4962101_sa.jpg)
This multidisc release brings together the hugely successful Hong Kong martial arts action series Ip Man, directed by Wilson Yip and based off the life of Yip Man, a martial arts master and tutor of Bruce Lee. Donnie Yen stars as the titular character in all three films, which were released in 2008, 2010, and 2015 respectively.

A box set of the Ip Man trilogy for this price is already a good buy, and the steelbook package makes it even better. The disc for the first film is a newer printing than the original release, so there are trailers for more recent movies at the beginning, and the menu is slightly different, but everything else is the same. The discs for parts 2 and 3 are exactly the same as their respective original releases. Each movie has all the same bonus features that were on their individual releases, HOWEVER, if you have or have seen the two-disc collectors editions of Ip Man and/or Ip Man 2, the features that were on the second bonus disc are NOT part of this steelbook set.
As for the movies themselves, they are definitely among the best martial arts films of the last 10 years, and probably of the last 20. At 45 years old (at the time of the first movie), Donnie Yen finally had his breakout role, despite having been in dozens of movies since all the way back in the mid 1980s. That's because even though he was always a very impressive martial artist, Donnie Yen finally proved what he could do as an actor. Each of the Ip Man movies is dramatic, well directed, well acted, and full of great fight choreography. The first film is easily the best, particularly on a technical level, but the second is more fun, and probably more re-watchable, generally. The third movie is not as good as the other two in regards to story, but is still full of beautiful shots and awesome action.
All three star Donnie Yen as Ip Man, all were directed by Wilson Yip, the first two have fight choreography by Sammo Hung Kam-Bo, and the third has fight choreography by Yuen Woo-Ping.
(And if you don't recognize all those names, just take my word for it that each one is a positive selling point)

I hadn't seen this movie in at least 10 or 12 years, but I vaguely remembered liking it. I assumed it wouldn't have aged well, but it was on sale, so I figured "why not?" Surprisingly, it holds up quite well. The blu ray includes both the theatrical version and the directors cut. and there's a trivia track bonus feature that will even point out all the differences between the two for you. The special features are generally pretty good too.

Great movie, great price

Reality Bites is a classic, but only for a certain age group. It's a great movie, but is so "of its time" that if you weren't between 17 and 30 when it came out, you might just be physically incapable of enjoying it. But for $4.99, I'd have been crazy not to buy it.

Great Collecltor's Edition Set (mostly)
on November 11, 2015
Posted by: Eurogerv
Verified Purchase:Yes
While a bit on the pricey side, this box set is awesome. The movies, of course, are classics. The blu ray transfers look and sound very good. The new set includes all the bonus features from previous releases, plus some new stuff. It also includes the complete cartoon series, and a book. The outer box, the light-up flux capacitor, is awesome. My only real objection is the cardboard sleeve packaging. In general, cardboard sleeves are just asking for scratched discs. In my particular case, some glue from the construction of the packaging left residue inside the sleeve, which stuck to and damaged the discs. I'm sure this is probably an uncommon manufacturer error. I returned it to Best Buy with no issue, and the replacement set was in perfect shape.

Blu ray is only worth it on sale

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have an unapologetic love for this series because I initially watched it when I was about 13. The remaster looks great and the new English dub is better than expected. I wish they had included the old 90s dub too, for nostalgia reasons, but I never actually expected that. There's not really a significant difference between the dvd and blu ray versions, except price. If the blu ray is on sale, grab it, if not, just get the Dvds.

Wonderful film, light on bonus content

This is a wonderfully acted movie. As someone who generally doesn't care for Jesse Eisenberg, and who questioned Jason Segel's dramatic chops, I was really blown away. There aren't many bonus features on the blu ray, but the commentary is pretty great.

Great series, disappointing box set
on November 11, 2015
Posted by: Eurogerv
Verified Purchase:Yes
Avatar is a phenomenal cartoon series, but this set was a real disappointment. It's simply a repackaging of the old individual seasons, which were themselves a repackaging of smaller collections of episodes. There are no new bonus features, they didn't spring for a blu ray release, the only real advantage of this set is that it takes up less room on the shelf than the older versions. Still a great show though, and the price is reasonable. If you don't already have a previous release, go for it.
