A Fun Magic Based Caper Film
on October 5, 2013
Posted by: cribellate

Verified Purchase:Yes
"Now You See Me" is not necessarily a great film, it may not even be a good film from an academic point of view towards filmmaking. It is however a well acted and fun film to watch. Many of the twists and turns will keep you on your feet and unless you are an incredible observant viewer you probably won't see the final twist coming. The disc is somewhat lacking on special features but its by no means a bare bones release. If you are looking for a few hours to kill consider checking this film out.

What's great about it: The plot twists will keep you on your toes
What's not so great: Some of the effects are not so great at places and the final twist falls somewhat flat
I would recommend this to a friend!

Shaun of the Dead is one of those movies everyone needs to see at least once. If you ever wondered why so many people love Simon Pegg or Edgar Wright, this is the film that started it all for them. It's a fun film with a surprisingly refreshing and original take on the zombie film (something that is no small feat). It has everything from the quirky British humor to intense zombie chase and even a few shocking twists and turns along the way. The set comes with a DVD copy as well as an iTunes digital copy and ultraviolet. To top it all off you also get a spiffy steelbook case with some great cover art. Definitely a must buy for any Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright fans.

What's great about it: Simon Pegg & Nick Frost
What's not so great: Weak(ish) video transfer

![House of Cards: The Complete First Season [4 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/4a3be073-4b34-47f2-af58-dd4f9091695a.jpg)
Based on the adaptation of a BBC miniseries of the same name, House of Cards is set in Washington, D.C., where democrat Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) serves as the House Majority Whip and represents South Carolina's 5th congressional district. When he is not appointed as Secretary of State as expected, Underwood vows to exact revenge upon those whom he feels betrayed him. Robin Wright, Kate Mara, and Corey Stoll also star. House of Cards earned nine nominations for original online only web television for the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2013.

Kevin Spacey is absolutely amazing. The show features, by far, some of the man's best work in his legendary career. It also features a stellar supporting cast, fascinating twists and turns and a cinematic vibe not normally found in television. You'd never know that the show was made "for the web" just by watching it. House of Cards is a truly game changing show.
My Best Buy number: 1006589643
What's great about it: The Acting
What's not so great: It's only 13 episodes (It'll leave you wanting for more, trust me)

Classic Film at a Great Price
on August 18, 2013
Posted by: cribellate
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The film is a classic of 80's comedy. Any film buff should have it in their library. However, those who have not seen it should be forewarned of the character, Long Duk Dong. Similar to other films such as Breakfast at Tiffany's, Sixteen Candles suffers from a terrible Asian stereotype for comedic effect that to contemporary audiences is anything but funny. Controversy of the Long Duk Dong character aside though, Sixteen Candles is a wonderful film that should be a part of any library and with this edition its a price that can't be beat.

A Classic Film but an Underwhelming Blu-Ray
on August 18, 2013

Verified Purchase:Yes
Charade is a classic film feature some of the best performances from its stellar cast. Due to a clerical error on Universal's part the film instantly entered the public domain on its release. Because of this subpar transfers have circulated on VHS and DVD for years. But to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the film Universal has decided to give the film the transfer it deserves despite the public domain status. Despite the lack of special features the film has a great transfer that that makes the purchase more than worth it if you are a fan.

Solid Action Fare
on June 21, 2013

Verified Purchase:Yes
"The Last Stand" doesn't offer anything new to the action genre but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The film does an excellent job or providing a high octane thrilling experience. It relies heavily on the tried and true formula of the action films of yesteryear and that is where its strength lies. It's a fun homage to the heyday of the action genre, the 1980's and 90's. That's all it strives to be and it succeeds immensely in this.
