This review is mainly for the barrel box set, the show is exceptional- there are PLENTY of reviews available out there.
This box set is by far one of the best that I have ever seen, the blu ray housing is concealed by a sleek compartment that has each individual season contained inside what is essentially a petri dish.
The Blurays are nestled in-between individual sleeves that are held together by magnets, they have unique designs on them for each season, the bluray disc art has been changed for the better.
On the other side of the door is a note from Creator and Showrunner Vince Giligan, along with the original Blu ray art from the individual seasons.
If you go to the top of the barrel, it opens up to show you Walters Money- in side of that is your "one size fits all" Los Pollos Hermanos apron, which in of its self is awesome.
Underneath that, is the Challenge Coin. If you are unfamiliar with the armed forces concept it is basically a coin that you carry around with you and plop down at a table of friends to "challenge" their commitment. They are supposed to carry them at all times- the person or persons who do not have them must buy your drinks. Vince Giligan created one for every season of the show for his cast and crew- and now he is bringing us into the fold....
This is a MUST have for any Breaking Bad fan in your life. I say buy it now and bury it under your tree.
My Best Buy number: 2556422800
What's great about it: Sleek Design, exquisite viewing.
What's not so great: Nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent series

This show is beautiful in every sense of the word; it exposes the inner ugliness that is just below the surface of humanity but does it an artistic manner. If you haven't seen this show I highly recommend buying the first season and giving it a watch if you aren't hooked then i'm not sure how you've sustained yourself on the big bang theory.
What's great about it: Great price, Great presentation; Excellent Story telling.
What's not so great: Season three isn't available yet.

Piranha equals excellent throwback
on January 15, 2011
Posted by: metalraygear
from Dallas, TX
Remember the original Piranha? It was a shameless Jaws rip off, but dang was it fun. Well here we are in the same sinking boat and I am loving it.
Piranha knew exactly what kind of movie it was going to be during the filming process. Heck during the script writing, they knew it was exploitation mixed in with camp, appealing to genre, and being a total throwback to the pre nineties era "serious films". DON'T try and take this movie seriously in the tone of great story, DON'T expect the most intelligent movie you will ever watch.
DO expect a great ride, DO expect mammaries galore , DO expect tons of gore- awesome death scenes. The nature of this film is a comedy. You aren't supposed to feel anguish for the characters; it is okay and expected that you laugh at the death scenes, they are over the top for a reason.
The DDD gags are supposed to play to those old "throw stuff at the camera" mindset that dominated the genre before James Cameron got ahold of it. While I don't support DDD I do support the use of this mocking attempt. By the way Cameron was directing Piranha 2: The Spawning for a bit... which is hilarious that he would slam this film.
Buy this film, enjoy yourself and GO WILD!
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: waiting for the sequel: Piranha 3 DD

Overall

1 out of 5Very poor 3D effects
By Inspect1

I do know that this is the blue ray copy I am reviewing but every one need to know how bad the 3D part of this movie is.
Well this movie could have been a excellent 3D movie but sony picture forgot to used 3D cameras. This movie had very poor 3D effects and it was too disgusting in some scenes. I agree with the freeman that The gore, is so over the top that I also felt a little sick watching some of the climax scenes.
Do not buy this movie on 3D it is a waste of your money. If you have to see this movie buy it on blue ray DVD instead. This is just a sample of of how movie companies are trying to take more money from us buy making us believe that every 3D movie is made in 3D. wrong!! Please rent first..

While you are entitled to your opinion I would ask you to go back and watch this film keeping this in mind: the ddd effects aren't supposed to be good... they are actually supposed to be insulting. This entire movie is a comedy, not a genuine we are trying to scare you movie.
Even the pre press for this movie tries to let you know check this out:

![Community: The Complete Fourth Season [2 Discs] [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/1424/1424886_sa.jpg)
This release compiles all 13 episodes from the fourth season of the NBC sitcom Community, starring Joel McHale as the sardonic leader of a wacky study group. This season of the show is notable as it was the first to be created without input from series creator Dan Harmon, who was fired from the program, but returned for its fifth season.
Overall
3 out of 5
3 out of 5Community we received not the one we deserved
By metalraygear

*I have not received this yet, this is just of the show content*
Community has been a very fragile show, the humor is great and spot on- but the barrier for entry is that unless you know the characters you will not be on board with the comedy.
This season we got two brand new showrunners who had to deal with a tremendous amount of pressure- appease fans and keep the executives who fired the last showrunner, happy. The results are mixed.
The show pulls more gimmicks this season, without progressing the characters. In actuality it undoes a lot of the progression that two characters had made in the previous season.
There are a few really good standout episodes- the episode that deals with Changnesia and the Jim Rash written episode, which is largely a return to form, are top notch.
This is not the Community that we deserved, but it did bridge the way for Dan Harmon (previous showrunner) to come back. Recommended mainly for the Jim Rash episode or for the completist.

Just a follow up
December 31, 2013
I recently sat and watched through all of the season, and while my review still stands, also NBC didn't even bother with the release- usually there is the theme overture and different iconic poses that the characters are doing in the individual episode that pop up.... they just put a static screen and threw it out there.
