Forget about logic; just enjoy

Verified Purchase:Yes
This fast-paced return to the absurd lives of the "Prison Break" brothers is lots of fun. Don't try to reconcile the current action with the ending of the original series. Audio and visual elements are top-notch, though extras are on the slim side. All in all, a nice continuation to an addictive show.

Good capsule of brief career
on October 13, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
The 33 songs making up this "Essential" collection does a good job of presenting most of S & G's best work. I'm not a big fan of live cuts, but these bring new life to the folk-like tunes on their early albums. The sound is fine throughout, though the lack of liner notes might bother some fans.

Visual dazzle in book and movie form
on October 12, 2017

from Springfield, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm not a big fan of superhero material, but "Doomsday" offers great visuals in two forms, a handsomely-printed comic book and an 80-minute film version on both Blu-ray and DVD. The two forms complement each other nicely, making this a fun reading and viewing experience.

Well-made film with dodgy Blu-ray visuals
on October 12, 2017
Posted by: Coriolanus
from Springfield, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
"The Longest Day" holds up remarkably well at this late date. The Blu-ray transfer is a little artificial, but offers more enjoyable viewing than the murky-looking DVD version. The extras on Zanuck's vision and the movie's history make this a great buy at under $10.

Soapier, but still entertaining
on September 20, 2017
Posted by: Coriolanus
from Springfield, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
The private lives of the firefighters tend to overwhelm the professional stories this season, but most of the characters are likable enough for the viewer to care a bit. Too bad they've killed off (or shipped off) several of my favorite characters. I now prefer "Chicago P.D.," but I'm not giving up on the firefighters just yet.

I'm not too impressed with the initial season, but maybe things improved during year two. The stories are on the juvenile side and the audio and visual elements are only fair for Blu-ray. Maybe they crammed too many episodes on the 2 discs, but I have to really crank up the volume to reach a satisfying level. Young kids might enjoy it more than I did.

![Castle: The Complete Seventh Season [5 Discs]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/67b0b175-f2eb-4c82-84fc-81120b4208de.jpg)
The complete seventh season of the ABC police drama Castle centers around the titular character (played by Nathan Fillion) and his upcoming marriage to NYPD detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), but unforeseen events threaten to derail the long-awaited wedding. Meanwhile, Castle and Beckett continue to tackle New York City's most perplexing murder cases.

I'd read complaints about the 7th season, but to my mind it's up to the high standards of previous years. Castle is getting a bit long in the tooth to sell the "boyish charm," but all in all it still works. The show looks great for DVD, almost as good as some Blu-rays. Definitely audio/visual comfort food after a hard day at work.

Acton and emotion in one movie
on September 2, 2017
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
Peter Jackson's "King Kong" does a great job of hitting lots of action tropes while leaving plenty of room for emotional grounding. The first hour is especially involving, though I admit some of the "running, running" stuff on the island goes on way too long. Great visuals, hours of extras, and a nifty steel case to house the movie make this the best $5.99 bargain I've ever picked up. Plus, a DVD version is included.

Entertaining time killer
on September 2, 2017
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
This incarnation of "NCIS" boasts nice location shooting in New Orleans and a decent cast to tell the sometimes tired stories. CHH Pounder is always good, though it's frustrating to see her playing 3rd or 4th fiddle. The show looks much better than the soft-focused, headache-inducing Mark Harmon series, so that's another plus.

A gritty version of "Murdoch Mysteries"
on August 7, 2017
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
"Ripper Street" does for London ca. 1890 what "Murdoch Mysteries" does for Toronto a few years later, albeit with a much grittier tone and visual style. Well-done mysteries with social underpinnings, a solid cast (except for the American guy) and good production values make this a keeper. I'll definitely get the subsequent seasons.
