The Stones Brought Their A-Game
on August 15, 2014
Posted by: Vallo
from Ocala, FL
The Rolling Stones are in top form for this performance and it sounds amazing. They play a great set of the classics and other cool song that a Stones fan will love and enjoy. "Far Away Eyes" is a cool addition to the set list. The picture quality is pretty good considering when this was filmed and with what. This is the best it will ever look. The audio quality is amazing and the real stand out. Great concert for the Stones fan and the casual music lover.

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans The Underworld series gets the prequel treatment with this third outing that fleshes out the story of the ancient war between the vampiric Death Dealers and their wolfman counterparts, the Lycans. F/X technician Patrick Tatopoulos (Godzilla, Independence Day) steps out of the effects lab and into the director's chair with this entry, which sees stars Bill Nighy returning as Viktor, the king of his vampire clan and father to Sonja (Rhona Mitra), a free-minded heir who tests her parent by heading outside of their castle's borders and doing battle with the ravenous werewolves of the surrounding area. Sonja also has a secret love affair with Lucian (Michael Sheen), the first of the Lycans, a race of lycanthropes who were bred by the vampires to be slaves and protectors to the bloodsucking clan. As the news of their love spreads to Viktor, ranks of the vampire elite help Lucian escape, leading to a revolution of the Lycans against their masters and setting up the mythology of the later latexed adventures featured in Len Wiseman's two previous films. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi Underworld A young man who has pledged his life to helping others finds himself in a pitched battle between two gangs of supernatural villains in this blend of horror story and action thriller. Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman) is a medical student who is heading home after a long day of school and work when he unexpectedly finds himself in the middle of what appears to be a rumble between two well turned-out street gangs. What Michael doesn't know is he has witnessed a skirmish between two deadly underground communities, unknown to the mortal world, who are battling for supremacy -- the Death Dealers, a tribe of vampires, and the Lycans, a band of werewolves. Selene (Kate Beckinsale) is a leading member of the Death Dealers who hears through the grapevine that the Lycans have plans to capture the aspiring doctor who witnessed their battle. Certain something is in the air, Selene begins following Michael around the city, and she finds herself growing emotionally attached to him. As Selene becomes more attracted to Michael, she becomes more convinced that the Lycans are planning a major attack against the Death Dealers, although vampire kingpin Kraven (Shane Brolly) is certain she's crediting the Lycans with more intelligence than they can muster. As Selene shadows Michael, she finds herself wanting to protect him, but her longing becomes a handicap when he's attacked by Lucian (Michael Sheen), the leader of the werewolf community, and the man she wants to save has now become a sworn enemy. Underworld was the first feature film from music video director Len Wiseman. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Underworld: Awakening Kate Beckinsale returns to the Underworld film series for the fourth installment, which finds fierce vampire Selene (Beckinsale) escaping captivity and taking up arms against humans after mankind discovers the existence of vampires and lycans, and launches a massive war aimed at wiping out the creatures of the night. Stephen Rea and Michael Ealy co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Underworld: Evolution Tribes of vampires and werewolves battle for supremacy among the undead in this follow-up to the horror hit Underworld. Tracing the bloody history of the ongoing war between the Death Dealers, a gang of upper-crust vampires, and the Lycans, a pack of scruffy werewolves, Underworld: Evolution finds beautiful Death Dealer Selene (Kate Beckinsale) and hunky Lycan Michael (Scott Speedman) exploring their own pasts as well as those of their comrades in hope of uncovering the secrets of this centuries-old conflict. As Selene and Michael deal with their bloody legacy as well as their forbidden romance, the violence between the Death Dealers and the Lycans escalates in what may be the final face-off between them. Directed by Len Wiseman, who also helmed the first film, {#Underworld: Evolution} also stars Shane Brolly, Bill Nighy, {$Tony Curran}, and {$Derek Jacobi}. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Great Bang for your Buck

If you buy this collection, you should know what to expect from an Underworld movie. There won't be Oscar winning acting or amazing plots, but they will be fun entertaining eye candy to watch and enjoy. This set includes all of the movies and each one should keep you entertained. The picture looks great and each film has a good amount of special features if you're interested.

This epic release from the landmark fantasy series Game of Thrones includes all 10 episodes of the show's third season, following the ongoing story of the powerful families of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, a land in which the cut-throat political web through which seemingly everyone vies for control includes torture, seduction, and many secrets.

If you're a fan of Game of Thrones, the season 3 release will leave you extremely happy. There is a wealth of special features to keep you coming back for more and the show itself is superb. The audio and visual quality is breathtaking and is truly what blu-ray should look like. The packaging is also quite nice and looks great on the shelf.

The Extended Version of the Hobbit is a must have for fans of middle earth. The extended scenes are nice, but the real hero of this set are the EXTREMELY long and detailed making of documentaries. Each one is well over 2 hours long and gives you an extraordinary look inside the making of the film. All of this is of course presented in amazing picture and sound quality.

If you like the Alien franchise or are looking to watch them for the first time, this set has everything you will ever need. All four movies are presented with great picture and sound and have a wealth of special features. There are hours and hours of extras packed into this set. The packaging is also very nice to look at and has pretty awesome artwork. There's really nothing more you could ask for in regards to an Alien movie collection.

A Great Television

Internet Connectable?Yes
Connected to the Internet:Yes
I recently got this television and I couldn't be happier. The picture quality is superb and there are tons of setting and options to tweak it to your liking. There is a little to be desired with the sound, but I have it hooked up to my surrounded sound system so that's not a problem for me at all. The remote control is really cool and well designed. It has a keyboard on the back side of it that is also back lit. It works great when typing things in to Netflix. The design is also sleek and sophisticated, will look great in any room.

Great Next-Gen Experiance

I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed Ryse. The campaign and multiplayer are both a great time and offer you experiences that should feel new. The graphics are also great and show off an early impression on where next-gen can go. If you're looking for a new game to try on next-gen, feel confident in getting this.

Not For Everyone
on July 30, 2014

from Ocala, FL
Under the Skin was a fantastic movie with striking visuals and a pretty slick soundtrack. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone though as the subject matter and pacing might turn folks off. If you enjoy movies like 2001, Beyond the Black Rainbow, or other movies of that nature, you should enjoy this. The Blu-ray has a good amount of extras on the making of the movie and boosts pretty good PQ and great AQ.

Drive is an excellent movie. The blu-ray is presented with amazing picture and audio quality and really shines. Only downside would be the extras. Would have liked to see a larger making of documentary. For sure worth a purchase though.

A fun vintage sci-fi movie
on April 17, 2013
Posted by: Vallo
from Ocala, FL
I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. I didn't know what to expect going into it, but it was a fun campy sci-fi movie with great visuals.
The transfer looks pretty great. There are a few scenes were it could be better, but that's just nit-picking. Lots of great visuals to be had here and they all look great.
The audio is a mono track, but it has a pretty good range. The soundtrack sounds good and the sound levels are all mixed well. You don't have to worry about turning it up and down to hear dialogue, everything is leveled out.
Extras wise all you get is a trailer, but it's a pretty cool trailer. Would have loved to of have more though.
Overall, this release is loads of fun. The PQ/AQ are both great, only downside are the extras. Also, the slipcover is amazing!
