![The Big Sick [Blu-ray] [2017]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6012/6012710_sa.jpg)

I wouldn't be surprised to see Kumail and (the real life) Emily sharing an Academy Award nomination next year for Best Original Screenplay, for The Big Sick is that rare kind of film that delivers some huge laughs along with a substantial amount of heart. Performances are top notch, some of the cultural critiquing is enjoyably incisive, and the undeniable sweetness that Kumail seems to almost genetically generate is more than amply on display. Technical merits are strong, and The Big Sick comes Highly recommended.

![It Comes at Night [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray] [2017]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6ee80276-ab4b-4b4d-8f58-478f08afe006.jpg)

While I focused on Plague as a link to this film, there are any number of other similar properties that include at least some of the same elements as It Comes at Night, including Dead Within , The Survivalist and Into the Forest (among many others), but what's ultimately so distinctive about It Comes at Night is how it resolutely eschews almost every worn out horror trope in favor of an examination of the increasing brutalization of human nature when circumstances dictate a certain amount of ruthlessness. This is not an "easy" watch, by any means, and is in fact pretty depressing, but it creates a palpable mood and is elevated by some excellent performances. Recommended.

![Megan Leavey [Blu-ray] [2017]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5934/5934913_sa.jpg)

Megan Leavey tells an honest, touching true story of love, friendship, and fighting the good fight on the battlefield and off of it. It's also a story of personal transformation, growth in courage, and finding a place in the world. It's well acted and nicely assembled, one of the more agreeable and heartfelt films of the year. Universal's Blu-ray offers good video and audio but only one brief supplement. Recommended.

![For Your Eyes Only [Blu-ray] [1981]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/4777/4777812_sa.jpg)

Verified Purchase:Yes
While not being particularly fond of many of Sir Roger Moore's adventures as James Bond, I must admit that For Your Eyes Only is amongst his best films as the legendary spy. Moore's take on the character tends to rub me the wrong way, with his silly attempts at action and his focus on style over substance, but he does butch things up a bit with this outing. The film is easily the most realistic of Moore's contributions; the producers made a point of trying to bring the Bond character closer to that of the books. MGM brings For Your Eyes Only to Blu-ray with a understated but attractive video encode, and audio that does its best to sound up to date. Supplements are extensive, as is normally the case with the Bond releases; fans will be more than pleased. Ultimately, while this film doesn't hold up to the scrutiny of time as well as Sean Connery's contributions to the Bond Legacy, For Your Eyes Only is, perhaps, Roger Moore's best. Set your expectations to a reasonable level, and the film might just surprise you. Recommended.

beauty & the beast live action

Verified Purchase:Yes
Beauty and the Beast exemplifies the risks and rewards of these films. Comparison to the established treasures is unavoidable, and in the case of Beauty and the Beast the magnification seems extended. While the film gets plenty right, parts of it feel off-balance, whether some of the needless (but certainly interesting) probing into some of the background elements or the manner in which the various servants, never mind the Beast himself, appear and participate in the film. The complex digital work just doesn't lend itself all that well to the animated version's simplistic charms and ability to draw the viewer into a fantastical realm of fairy tale make-believe. If anything this version feels too real, and that comes at the cost of the story's depth and whimsical spirit. It's also too unfocused, trying at once to satisfy purists, expand the story, and dazzle with its visual effects to the point that the end result is more spectacle and less heartfelt love story; the animated film balanced those qualities perfectly. It's a good movie in all of those areas, but it's the first of the live-action Disney films where the animated films remains the clear-cut superior. The Blu-ray is unsurprisingly terrific, featuring world-class 1080p video and 7.1-channel lossless audio. Supplements are fine though nothing remarkable. Recommended.

![Bambi [Signature Edition] [Blu-ray/DVD] [Only @ Best Buy] [1942]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5835/5835600_sa.jpg)

Bambi rightly remains a pillar in the Disney canon considering both its artistic and storytelling merits. It's a classic that's destined to live on for generations to come. This "Signature Collection" re-release is very much like the others. It adds some supplements and drops a few others. The additions are fine, though beyond the superior menu screen and much more efficient (and very much welcome) supplemental layout, there's no reason for previous owners who aren't completionists to upgrade. For first-time Blu-ray buyers, it's obviously a must-own.
