The quintessential dinosaur films return in high definition in this three film set. The picture and sound quality for all three films are superb, while the special features are to die for.
One of Disney's all time greatest animated features returns in spectacular high definition in Disney's The Lion King. One of the first films I've ever seen in theaters, this loose adaptation of Hamlet is still one miracle of a film, with fantastic animation, wonderful voice work and magical songs.
I made the mistake of buying this after having liked Jennifer Lawrence's performance in The Hunger Game. This is just below average standard thriller fair, with no scares and a feeling of been there, done that.
This isn't Sly Stallone's Judge Dredd! While the film was a failure at the box office, this action packed reboot shows Dredd as he should have been, badass. The special effects bringing the slow motion to life are quite great and the action is brutal and bloody.
It's been several years since the last Texas Chainsaw films, so Lionsgate resurrected the series from its. The results are shockingly shoddy. The acting is quite horrible, the makeup effects are terrible and the film just isn't scary at all, with weak kills and a script that often doesn't make any sense. The special features are solid, but that's about the only thing about the film that has any decent points.
My Best Buy number: 2506464683
What's great about it: The girls are hot, I. . . I guess that's a plus
What's not so great: Everything else from the makeup effects to the script
While the first sequel suffered from a number of problems, the second sequel to Michael Bay's Transformers trilogy is a significant improvement in every category. The special effects are virtually perfect for the most part and the film's finale features an hour of action and explosions. The picture and sound quality is to die for and the special features are great and plentiful.
With the releases of Snow White and the Huntsman, it wouldn't belong before someone would tackle Hansel and Gretel. While Huntsman took a more serious tone, Hansel and Gretel takes a more comical tone with solid practical and digital effects as well as bloody violence. The Bluray comes with a unrated cut that lasts 10 minutes longer as well as at least 30 minutes of bonus features.
Two years after the original, Michael Bay returns to direct a second Transformers film. The results, while not horrible, aren't up to par with the original. As with the first, the special effects and the action are top knotch, but there isn't much to the story and some of the jokes really fall flat. As with the first film, the Bluray is loaded with bonus features.
After the middling success of The Island, Michael Bay tackled a risk, bringing us Transformers. Based off the toys created by Hasbro, Transformers is a jaw dropping action spectacle, filled with out of this world special effects and amazing sequences of action. The Bluray is loaded with special features, making it a must own.
Fresh after the success of Tangled, Disney is at it again with Wreck-it-Ralph, a top knotch animated film with terrific voice acting. As for the Bluray, the picture quality and sound are A + but the bonus features are sadly lacking.
