This is truly an underrated gem from Executive Producer Tom Hanks. Excellent starring performances from John Malkovich, Colin Hanks, and Emily Blunt. Great picture and sound. Worth a spin!

Pierce Brosnan channels an older version of James Bond in this spy thriller. Great action beats and effects, but story is a bit standard of spy vs. spy.

Excellent sound and incredible effects. Acting is a bit wooden at times but it's so great to see the big guy on the big screen again!

Had almost forgotten about this gem. Not as well known as Jurassic Park but still a compelling story with excellent action beats. Worth a watch!

This overlooked Indie gem is a must watch for Brie Larson's performance alone. She is spectacular in her role as one of the leaders of a juvenile delinquent center who is dealing with her own set of issues.

Season 6 of Mad Men gives us more of what we expect...pure excellence, from the acting to the writing to spot on representation of the 1960's, this shows does it consistently right. A worthy purchase for any fan of the show. Excellent picture and audio quality as well.

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.

DC gets it right on the small screen with Arrow
on February 21, 2014
Posted by: Uptown1999

There is no doubt that DC has struggled bringing some of its major characters to life on the big screen, however it seems to thrive with the small screen. Arrow is the latest DC property to successfully transition after Smallville, This take on Green Arrow is gritty, well acted and cast, and truly builds a world that is believable. This set features excellent picture and sound quality and a nice assortment of extras. Well worth a purchase!

What's great about it: Great cast, ties in nicely with the DC Universe

One of the best shows ever made-simple as that.

There is no doubt that Breaking Bad will go down in TV history as one of the greatest shows ever made. The cast was superbly cast and every episode is extremely well written. The Final Season wraps up all of the major story lines but still manages to shock and surprise the viewer. Worth adding to any serious TV lover's library.
