This is a great scary movie by Wes Craven. It is a great suspense from beginning to end and trying out to figure out who the killer is. Drew Barrymore is in this movie and does a wonderful job in a never like before opening scene to a movie and gets you into the movie within the first couple of minutes. It was scary the first time I saw it. Every Halloween I break out the trilogy and watch them they are such good movies. It is not a slasher movie that you are used to. It is revolutionary in the fact that is was a new kind of suspense horror film that no horror series compares to. I upgraded to blu-ray and the sound and picture are amazing. Bought them for 7.99 each on sale at Best Buy but even at 14.99 they are worth purchasing you will watch them plenty of times.
What's great about it: Story, suspense, and acting
Neve Campbell plays Sidney Prescott who is now in college. She finds herself again being hunted by ghostface. Just as in the first film it starts with a bang and gets you into the movie with a great opening scene. Yet again you watch the whole film trying to figure out who the killer is and just when you think you have it figured out you are wrong. Great cast again for the second film of the trilogy. You will like this one to almost as much as the first. It has a great story line and the actors are good and believable. This is such a good slasher franchise. It looks and sounds amazing on blu-ray, a hug step up from the DVD's I replaced.
If you have seen the first two scream movies you have to see this one. It wraps up everything for you. You learn why all this happened to Sydney Prescott in the first place. Yet again you will be surprised in the end when the killer and entire story is revealed to you. Just like the first to it grabs your attention from the very begining and you wont lose interest throughout. Deputy Dewey is in all the movies and he gives it a great comedic aspect. The writers really did a good job of tying all 3 movies together and ending them. Looks and sounds great in blu-ray.
What's great about it: Great horror trilogy ending
I saw this movie dozens of times when I was a kid and it was hilarious. You never see this movie on cable so I purchased the DVD and it is even funnier as an adult. Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman are perfect actors for the main characters they work well together and are very funny. They are to be murdered but when the boss invites them to his beach house they find him dead and trick everyone they come into contact to believing he is still alive. This movie is a riot. Buy it when it goes on sell because 10 bucks for a DVD that you may watch once a year is a little high.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off needed a new special edition DVD and it got it with the Bueller...Bueller...Edition, a release that adds plenty of bells and whistles to the much-loved film. While Paramount dropped John Hughes commentary from the 1999 release and has yet to include the film's trailer, enough insight can be gleamed from the making-ofs that it almost makes up for these oversights. On a positive note, the film has been given a stellar presentation for the digital age, with a new anamorphic widescreen picture and 5.1 Dolby Digital sound for best optimum viewing experience. The extras are detailed and feature most of the cast and crew, though interestingly, Hughes is only represented by some vintage 1986 clips, which are actually more in-depth than you'd think. Featuring clips on the casting, the inspiration, the general making-of, and even a special on Ben Stein, the disc goes a long way to cover certainly one of the most popular comedies of its time. Also included is are some tongue-in-cheek segments on-set in which the cast interviews each other, along with a gallery section consisting of the film's costume tests. The Bueller...Bueller...Edition might be awkwardly named, but it delivers the goods in a satisfying way that would make Ferris proud.

I remember when I was a kid and saw this movie and thought it was hilarious. Now as an adult I appreciate even more because I can relate better to the characters. It is even funnier as an adult. Everybody wants to be Ferris for a day. You will get this movie out at least a couple of times a year so it is worth the purchase. It is a classic and has a great story with good actors.
This twin-pack includes the fourth film in the Shrek franchise as well as a holiday special featuring the characters from those films.

Great franchise

This is actually pretty good and still a funny franchise. Nothing compares to the original but all the Shrek films are good for kids and adults. Bought this a few months back and my 8 and 22 month old watch it several times a week so I have definately got my moneys worth on it. It is a pretty good movie considering it is the fourth film and you would think the franchise had run it's course but it has not. The picture and sound are superb.
It is a good movie in my opinion. The way Arnold for an older man beefed up for the part was pretty amazing. Didn't care too much for Nick Stahl's acting as John Connor ,but the story and action were pretty good. It looks amazing in blu-ray and the sound is superb. It is not better than Terminator 2 or even Terminator Salvation but hey for 10 bucks or less you will watch it again and again. The story and action make it worth the price even though the acting is painful at times.
Not the best in the franchise but definately worth owning. The actors are pretty good and the action and storyline are not bad either. Worth the purchase if you can get it on sale you will watch in numerous times. I liked Adrian Brody in the lead role and the fact that the Predators brought these specialists to this planet to hunt them.
Typically sequels aren't very good but this one is awesome. You don't even have to see the first one before you watch this one. They do such a good job combining parts of the first in with the second to refresh your memory of the first film while watching the second. It makes you appreciate both films even more. It is awesome how both films are happening simultaneously. I love the plot and the acting. I can't imagine Michael J. Fox not being Marty McFly. It is almost better than the original. The 80's gave us some great movies and this is pretty close to the top of the list. I highly recommend this film and this first one as well you will watch them numerous times a year.
What's great about it: Acting and storyline (mixing of part 1 & 2) together
Barry Pepper plays Roger Maris in 61 the season in which he takes over the Baseball legend Babe Ruth to become the all-time season single record for homeruns. It starts with the famous homerun chase of 1998 between Sosa and Mcguire. It shows what could be the breaking homerun of Maris's record then flashes back to 1961 and the rest of the movie shows what Maris went through that season. The personal struggles and the hate he went through because people did not want him to break the legends homerun record. They eventually put an asterik on it because that season they played more games than when Ruth set the record. It flashes back to the 1998 season to end the movie. It is a great story and superb acting. I am glad to see this film being released on blu-ray.
