FINALLY, the ultimate edition
on February 28, 2014
Posted by: CalvinCandie
from Los Angeles CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
My local Best Buy put this one out a few weeks early and at the low price of $7.99. This cult classic has never looked or sounded better, and it ports over ALL of the previously released extras and adds some new stuff too. Everything a fan could hope for!

Complete collection for an AMAZING price

Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked up this 5-film complete collection for a steal when it was on sale. This is the stripped down package in terms of bulk and size but all of the movies and all of the same extras are included as in the larger set. Fantastic purchase.

Remastered and expanded is the way to go
on June 21, 2013
Posted by: CalvinCandie
from Los Angeles CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
As a huge LedZep fan, I was surprised at myself for only just now getting around to completing my collection with this CD. I'm at least glad I waited until this remastered and expanded edition (featuring several songs not included on the original release) but man, a few of the tracks go on for 20 - 30 minutes! Shouldn't count as a knock on the CD though - just on how LedZep used to conduct themselves live in concert back in the day. Still, great stuff.

What's great about it: Finally, the complete concert!
What's not so great: 29 minutes of any one song is too much.

Welcome back, Stooges!

from Los Angeles CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's been AGES since we've gotten any new music from Iggy and the Stooges. In this day and age of boy bands, hip-hop and generally weak music, it's nice to have the old guys come in and show you how it's done. If you're a fan, you can't go wrong with this comeback album.

Great value for a great triple feature
on June 21, 2013
Posted by: CalvinCandie
from Los Angeles CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I actually bought this DVD triple feature for my Dad because he only had Pulp Fiction on VHS and did not have Reservoir Dogs or Jackie Brown at all. For me personally, I am blu-ray all-the-way but for him, this 3-disc DVD set is perfect. Classic movies for a great value.

![Django Unchained [DVD] [2012]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/8621/8621062_sa.jpg)
Posted by: CalvinCandie

Verified Purchase:Yes
Quentin Tarantino fires on all cylinders once again with Django Unchained. If you're a fan of his work, OF COURSE you're buying this blu-ray and the Best Buy exclusive edition comes with a bonus disc to help make up for the general release's lack of special features. To cpmplicate matters though, both Wal-Mart and Target are also offering exclusive editions each with a bonus disc of their own. My solution? Bought all three while on sale and used the Best Buy exclusive packaging to house all 3 bonus discs, while the blu-ray and DVD copies of the movie itself reside in the Target steelbook. Excessive? Probably...but worth it.

What's great about it: Another masterpiece from QT
What's not so great: Had to buy 3x's to get ALL available special features

Verified Purchase:Yes
While a film of this nature may not qualify as entertainment to some, it is an engrossing thriller from the director of The Hurt Locker. Performances all around are quite good (Jessica Chastain in particular) but I do wish the blu-ray had more in the way of bonus supplements. Still, a/v quality is top notch.

Classic film finally comes to blu
on April 26, 2013
Posted by: CalvinCandie
from Los Angeles CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bottom line is I'm happy to finally have WFRR on blu-ray. The movie still holds up and looks/sounds better than ever. There was some sort of snafu with including the wrong bonus disc. I have not yet asked for a replacement but it's my understanding that you can by contacting Disney.

What's great about it: Looks so much better than the old DVD
What's not so great: No new extras and the bonus disc is a goof

For Kevin Smith fans only
on April 26, 2013
Posted by: CalvinCandie
from Los Angeles CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Jersey Girl is a double edged sword for Smith fans. It's nice to see him try something a little less ranchy but at the same time, it goes to show that he excels at harder material. Still, the core story here is a sweet one and for $5, the price is right for collector's of his work.
My Best Buy number: 0203755202

What's great about it: Heart-warming story without all the usual cussing
What's not so great: A little out of Smith's comfort zone
