![The Last Exorcism Part II [Unrated] [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray] [2013]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/9066/9066079_sa.jpg)

OK so I actually really liked the first one. I was looking forward to picking this one up once the price dropped (it was at $20 forever). So I picked it up for $10 at Best Buy and WOW was this movie disappointing. It felt like it was building up to a big shock moment that never paid off. It may be one of the worst sequels of all time.
My Best Buy number: 2639274869
What's great about it: The cover is kind of cool
What's not so great: The movie
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fun, longer version

This movie seems to be somewhat polarizing. I enjoyed it and I loved having a longer version. I do wish that the Goblin King scenes weren't extended, but you take the good with the bad I suppose. It is reference quality as far as the picture and audio blu ray.
My Best Buy number: 2639274869
What's great about it: More Middle Earth
What's not so great: More Goblin King acting like he was on Broadway

Hilarious for anyone who has seen a dog show

I had been looking for this on blu ray forever! Found it for $5 at Best Buy and was thrilled. If you have ever seen a dog show while flipping through the channels, this movie will make you laugh. It is done as a comedic/parody documentary. I loved it

I bought this as a blind buy because of the buzz that it had received. I was completely blown away by this film. I can't remember the last time I was truly gripped by a documentary. The film maker remains very objective and does not sway the documentary one way or another (even inviting SeaWorld to be part of it. They refused). I would recommend this documentary to anyone with the exception of small children.

![Wild Pacific [2 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/4911/4911208_sa.jpg)
This set brings together episodes of a travel series that showcases various beautiful locations, animals, and people that can be found throughout the Pacific.

I picked this up for $10 at Best Buy and it was a steal. As to be expected, this BBC doc explores parts of the world, the animals, etc. that are rarely examined by other documentaries. There is a decent amount of focus on the native peoples. As a fan of these for the wildlife, I wasn't really excited for the human parts but it was very interesting none the less.
The video quality goes from excellent to good depending on what/where it was shot. I did miss David Attenborough's presence, but Benedict Cumberbatch filled in nicely.

What's great about it: Very interesting doc

![The Wolverine [Unleashed Extended Edition] [4 Discs] [Includes Digital Copy] [3D] [Blu-ray/DVD] [Blu-ray/Blu-ray 3D/DVD] [2013]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/2868/2868464_sa.jpg)

This movie is a tremendous improvement over the first Wolverine solo debacle. The subject matter is respected and Jackman perhaps gives his best outing as Wolverine. The picture and sound quality are excellent.
I cannot speak for the 3D; I do not own a 3D TV. I bought this version specifically because it was the only way to get the extended edition of the film. It was well worth it. The extended edition is a superior film; one that finally shows the brutality and violence that Wolverine is known for.
The extended version is only in 2D. Also, the alternate ending is a very cool nod to the fans. I wish it was the actual ending.
My Best Buy number: 2639274869
What's great about it: Extended Edition included in 2D
What's not so great: The alternate ending should have been the real ending

Bittersweet movie in light of recent death
on January 5, 2014
Posted by: TheSchmidt
from Beach Lake, PA
For whatever reason, the Fast and Furious movies actually seem to improve as the franchise goes on. Perhaps that is because there wasn't much plot besides race suped up cars and don't get caught by the cops; a plot that only has up to go with some decent writing.
Anyway, this film was a bit more powerful that I thought it would be but I must admit that is likely because of the fact that it was released about a week after Paul Walker's death. The action is perhaps the best in the series and the video quality is excellent. It is certainly a worthy film to ad to the franchise.
Disclaimer: This is advertised as having an extended edition. It must be noted that on the back of the blu ray, the extended edition runtime is EXACTLY the same as the theatrical. I don't know what was added, but I didn't notice any differences. Perhaps a shot lingered for 30 seconds longer.
My Best Buy number: 2639274869
What's great about it: GREAT action and video quality
What's not so great: It is claimed to include an "extended" edition

Great collection for a great price
on January 5, 2014
Posted by: TheSchmidt
from Beach Lake, PA
This is a great little box set. It is kind of like a brief introduction to Coen Brothers' films. There are four included and they are all excellent. Due to the age, some of the video quality is better than others, but overall the films look great and it can be had a great price (usually on sale for around $20 - $5 per film)
My Best Buy number: 2639274869
What's great about it: Earlier Coen Bros movies available together

Interesting horror anthology series
on January 5, 2014
Posted by: TheSchmidt
from Beach Lake, PA
This is a very good series. It is an interesting and unique horror anthology show that can be gripping at times and confusing at others. It gave me a feeling like they were trying to make sense and wrap it all together as they went. However, the performances are excellent and the audio/video quality is very good. It gripped me enough to watch the whole series in a few days.
My Best Buy number: 2639274869
What's great about it: Video Quality, Price
What's not so great: Plot struggles sometimes
