Worth buying this, just think of part 2 as a bonus feature. Nice being on 2 discs
My Best Buy number: 329763310
What's great about it: 2 for the price of 1
What's not so great: the 2nd not as good as first

![My Cousin Vinny [Blu-ray] [1992]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/9381/9381661_sa.jpg)

Subtly employing the city mouse/country mouse theme, MY COUSIN VINNY is a light-hearted courtroom comedy. While it occasionally stoops to some stereotyping, the movie doesn't do so mean-spiritedly. In any event, both sides get equal skewering.
Vinny Gambini, brilliantly portrayed by Joe Pesci, is a Brooklyn boy who has finally passed the Bar (after repeated failures) and now finds himself defending his nephew and his nephew's friend against murder charges in the Bible Belt. Along with his too beautiful fiancee, played by Academy Award Winner Marissa Tomei, Pesci investigates the southern style of life, as he fathoms southern courtroom procedures and tries to get some sleep. The resulting clash of cultures is sometimes predictable, but honestly, is very inventive for the most part.

The resulting clash of cultures is sometimes predictable, but honestly, is very inventive for the most part.
The comedy of the court room scenes is heightened by the late Fred Gwynne who plays the presiding judge. His by-the-book habits and short-fused temper are a perfect foil to Vinny's laconic style. It is their interaction that feeds most of the cultural clashing. But there is also a clash of the sexes that underlies the film, as Vinny stubbornly refuses the help of his fiancee. This confrontation is also highlighted in the courtroom when the DA refuses to believe that she could possibly be considered an expert in automechanics, even though her brothers, her father, her uncles, and just about everyone else in her family are expert mechanics. (The DA becomes convinced in a wonderful cross-interview scene.)
MY COUSIN VINNY was both critically well-received and a huge box-office success. There's a reason for that: it is a well-written, well-directed and perfectly acted comedy that stands up well even after repeated viewings. See it for yourself and you'll understand why, too.

![Breaking Bad: The Complete Season 4 [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5575/5575724_sa.jpg)

Great show. Cool seeing the dad from Malcolm in the Middle in a different role like this. The best television dramas of all time don't TELL you what is good or bad, or WHO is good or bad - they let people be people, and then you form your own opinions of the characters. From the Sopranos, to the Wire, to the Shield, and now Breaking Bad. And honestly, I think this may surpass them all, even the Sopranos.
Meet Walter White. Well, if you're already on Season 4, I assume you know his story. From dorky chemistry teacher/car wash worker to million-dollar methamphetamine cook, the transformation is unbelievable, yet believable at the same time. You know his story, how he got here, and it all seems to fit. The writers have made it clear for a long time that Breaking Bad was similar to Scarface - that Walt is comparable to the transformation of Mr. Chips to Scarface, and this season shows that perfectly.
Walt has and still believes coming into season 4 that he is doing this all for his family. But is he? How far will he go? And is this all for money, or something else? We get to see many ethical dilemmas and inner moral battles in most of the characters this season - Walt, Skyler, Jesse, Mike, Hank, Marie and even maybe a small glimpse into the past of chicken man and meth king-pin - Gustavo Fring.
Each episode gets more and more dark (did you think it was possible?), and Walt continues to surprise the audience with strange decisions and a terrifying look into the path he is going down. If you look back at season 1 episode 1, before the meth and cancer, that angry, tortured individual was already inside of him. That results in the question: was Walt ever even really that good of a guy? He hasn't changed as much as you may think, but his anguish, pain, and stress is amplified by about 200x. And as expected, the end of each episode is usually a major cliff-hanger, and you'll be begging for more.
The acting is nothing but simply perfect. Bryan Cranston as Walt will make you laugh, cry, or even get angry with him. Giancarlo Esposito as Gus becomes a huge player this season, and he should be up for an Emmy. The glazed, empty, evil look in his eyes is terrifying, and there aren't many boundaries he won't cross to get what he wants.
This is definitely the darkest, thought-provoking, best acted show on television at the moment, and maybe ever. If you haven't watched it, start from the beginning and follow Walt's odd and morally perplexing adventure into the life of a meth cook.

This is one of the best shows I have ever seen! The content of the show is very entertaining if not mesmerizing, but what really sets it apart is the awesome character development throughout the cast. From little known to relatively unknown actors/actresses,
I was blown away by their performances throughout. Watch it, watch it, watch it!!

Three great Flicks on blu-ray. Tons of extras. All for under $20 (I actually got mine when BB had it for $4.99 - SCORE)! Kevin Smith fans looking to fill out their collection should definately grab this up.

If you like EARLY KISS this is for you

This album is definitely the best of the albums since KISS recorded with the makeup back on. Some catchy tunes include Hell Or Hallelujah, Wall Of Sound, and All For The Love Of Rock n Roll. Paul Stanley really struggles with his voice on this album and can be tough to get through. Some songs are only novelties to the KISS persona, such as Freak, Back To The Stone Age, and Outta This World. This album is heavily carried on the backs of Gene Simmons and Eric Singer. Monster feels like a 10 in comparison to Sonic Boom. Coming from a huge KISS fan and fan of the originals, this is should be picked up even by the casual KISS fan. Some could argue its their best album since 1991's Revenge and others would argue their best since 1983's Creatures Of The Night. Either way its a reasonable return to heavy rock and may be the band's exit from the recording studio.
