This movie is full of 80s Slasher tropes, and the characters just seem like people you'd enjoy hanging out with. This was supposedly the director's only film, and it was evidently a labor of love. It comes through in the film. There's definitely some gruesome deaths in it, but it is a fun little nugget in slasher film history. Arrow's packaging is top notch, with reversible sleeve, slipcover, and a booklet inside. You really get your money's worth.
A great horror comedy that has relevant social commentary on entitled Millennials of today, and the value we place on our educators. It pulls no punches, but is worth the wild ride.
Surprising film by Luc Besson who would go on to do the 5th Element. I was expecting maybe a bit more action, but this is a very human, character driven action movie. Definitely its own thing. The 4K scan looks terrific. Recommended.
Finally, after many releases, 5th Element looks and sounds just perfect in this new 4K scan. I viewed it on my 110" projector screen with my Epson 3020 I got from Best Buy, and it is just gorgeous. The colors pop, and the sounds crackle. Surprisingly, still demo worthy material for a near 20 year old film. Definitely worth a double dip if you have the older version(s). If you don't have 5th Element, this is a must own blu-ray.
Get set for family viewing with a 3D movie that's not afraid to break the plane and pop out. If you're bored with 3D only showing depth and not pop outs, this is the title for you. It's all great fun, and suitable for the whole family.

This four-disc set brings together a number of films from director Tim Burton including three of his collaborations with Johnny Depp - Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Tim Burton's Corpse Bride - as well as his supernatural comedy Beetlejuice.
This is a fine introduction to Tim Burton, although his Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is almost unwatchable. I was happy to pick this up for Sleepy Hollow and Beetlejuice, the main attractions in this 4 film set. At a bargain price, don't expect much in the way of packaging. This is really bare bones and can't really be called a lavish box set. It would be nice to see Paramount do a better remaster on Sleepy Hollow, but if you can pick this up at a good price, I'd say go for it.

Create an immersive home theater setup with this Denon AVR-S510BT 5.2-channel A/V receiver, which features 5 HDMI inputs, including 3 with support for 4K Ultra HD resolution. Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD decoders offer detailed surround sound.
My number one priority was finding an amp that is User Friendly. The gentlemen at Best Buy both agreed Denon, without question, would be the right choice. Thank goodness for them, because yes, it's perfect. I bought this for my Dad, who is not electronic savvy, so it had to be easy to set up, and easy to use. Switching inputs is all done with the remote, and there's even a calibration microphone to make your surround system optimized. If you are looking for a basic amp that is easy to use and drive clear, quality sound to your budget set up, this is a great choice.
This is one of the best action films of the new millennium. You get a bone crunching, fist cracking revenge movie of the highest caliber, and a career-defining Neeson performance. Highly recommended.
