![The Hunchback of Notre Dame [Special Edition] [3 Discs] [Blu-ray/DVD] [1996]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/8160/8160065_sa.jpg)

The most adult Disney cartoon?
on June 16, 2017
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
Aside from the comic gargoyles, everything about this stellar Disney film aims toward a more adult sensibility. The songs are good and the cast--Hulce, Kline, D. Moore--excellent throughout. Looks and sounds great on Blu-ray, and the commentary adds to the value. There's also a 66-minute direct-to-video sequel that's less inspiring, but for $10, a great deal.

Love the multiple language options
on June 16, 2017
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
Branagh's overwrought take on "Frankenstein" is hard to take, but Coppola's old school filming of "Dracula" holds up well and looks decent on Blu-ray. The 70-minute making-of is good, and the many language options allow you to improve the awful performances of Keanu & Wynona. Best options? French and Czech.

![True Blood: The Complete Seventh Season [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/9466/9466108_sa.jpg)
The seventh and final season of the adaptation of Charlaine Harris' Southern vampire novels begins with a vampire-human mixer at Bellefleur's, née Merlotte's, in full swing, but a gruesome attack by a band of Hep V-infected bloodsuckers throws Bon Temps into chaos and prompts a wave of spiteful finger-pointing at one of its most well-known residents--Sookie (Anna Paquin). Meanwhile, Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) tries to convince Andy (Chris Bauer) she's desperate to atone for her past mistakes; Bill (Stephen Moyer) recalls his pre-Civil War life; Jason (Ryan Kwanten) has an awkward reunion with an old friend; Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) helps Lettie Mae (Adina Porter) resolve her tumultuous relationship with Tara (Rutine Wesley); and Pam (Kristin Bauer Van Straten) searches the globe for Eric (Alexander Skarsgård)--assuming he's still alive!

A decent ending to an up-and-down show
on May 20, 2017
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was never a huge fan of "True Blood" after the first two seasons, but kept coming back to see if things would improve. They didn't, for me at least. Still, the production values remained strong even after Alan Ball left, and performances were pretty solid all the way through. Very weak tea compared to "Six Feet Under," but worthwhile for die hard vampire addicts.

Like being in Austria, only more colorful
on May 20, 2017
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
I hadn't visited "The Sound of Music" in years and was very impressed with the image and sound on the 50th anniversary Blu-ray. Can it have looked this good back in '65 at your average movie emporium? The bonus disc (a one-hour doc) is pretty good, but the main attraction is the film and all those catchy songs.

![Wall Street [Blu-ray] [1987]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/4826/4826817_sa.jpg)
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
"Wall Street" definitely benefits from this directors-approved Blu-ray release. The movie has never looked this good, even in the theater when I saw it first run. Some of the family material with the 2 Sheens drags, but overall it's held up well. Stone's commentary, as usual, has lots of offer.

![Cleopatra [50th Anniversary] [Blu-ray] [1963]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/8848/8848242_sa.jpg)
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's taken over half a century, but I finally got around to watching "Cleopatra," which looks gorgeous in this two-disc Blu-ray release. Part one (Caesar & Cleo) is pretty engrossing; Antony & Burton are dull in the second half, but it's definitely worth viewing. The extensive extras, especially the feature-length doc, are true bonuses. Quite a deal for $8.

A young woman decides the time has come to embrace her superhuman abilities and fulfill her destiny as a hero in this drama based on the DC Comics character Supergirl. This release collects all episodes from season one of the series.
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pleasant enough, I suppose, but weak tea compared to the other WB superhero fare on TV. Good for young teens, though, especially the emphasis on "family," but my attention started to wane about a third of the way through the season. Looks good on Blu-ray, but needs more bonus features to justify a purchase.

I'm enjoying this Blu-ray player, which loads much faster than my old one. A number of DVDs and Blu-rays that wouldn't play on the latter are now ready to go with no skipping or messages of "no disc" on the screen. Only the remote is a little disappointing, but I'm getting used to it. A bargain at the Best Buy price.

Nice upgrade of a hit-and-miss show
on April 21, 2017
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
"Miami Vice" has some clunky moments, but the modestly-priced Blu-ray version gives you video and sonic upgrades that enhance the show greatly. It's fun to catch all the up-and-coming stars and to relive the pastel fashion era. I haven't made it through all 5 seasons yet, but so far I'm very pleased. Video improves from season to season and the stereo mix on seasons 2-5 gets the job done.

![The Knick: The Complete Second Season [Blu-ray] [4 Discs]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5386/5386742_sa.jpg)
All ten episodes of the award-winning medical drama series' second season, set in 1901, is available in this collection. Dr. John Thackery (Clive Owen) continues to perform cutting-edge operations, including an electrical brain stimulation and a devised procedure to seperate conjoined twins, all while battling a heroin addiction that is becoming increasingly dire. Meanwhile, the gifted Dr. Algernon Edwards (Andre Holland), who has ascended to the role of acting chief of surgery, continues to face racially-charged disrespect while dealing with the reappearance of his strong-willed wife, Opal (Zaraah Abrahams). Subplots include Nurse Elkins' (Eve Hewson) search for personal and professional fulfillment, a fiery, near-death experience and various other events in and out of Knickerbocker Hospital with grave consequences. All ten episodes are directed by Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh.

Clive Owen leads a strong team of actors in a show that's very consistent episode to episode. The Blu-ray specs are good if not outstanding, and bonus content could be more bountiful, but it's still an engrossing look into an earlier era. Recommended.
