Edgar Allan Poe's classic tale of a hideous crime and a guilty conscience inspired this double feature by giallo masters Sergio Martino and Lucio Fulci. In Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key, Martino reinterprets Poe's tale in this gripping story about a teacher whose conscience is wracked when his student - and secret lover - is found murdered. And in Fulci's The Black Cat, Poe's classic yarn is transported to a quiet English hamlet beset by a string of murders. This re-release limited to 3000 copies is jam-packed with extras including interviews with Martino and Eli Roth, featurettes, subtitles, audio commentaries and more.
This limited edition set features two films from Italian directors at least somewhat related to Edgar Allen Poe's short story The Black Cat. You mileage may vary regarding the films themselves, but the presentation from Arrow Video is top notch.
The barren landscape stretches out before you, seemingly unending with no signs of life and no relief from the relentless sun. As you navigate your battering ram of a vehicle over the remnants of a long-abandoned highway, you contemplate this existence you call life.

You've become a lone warrior, a reluctant hero, but only because your choices were that or death.

As you explore the vast, open-world environment of the Wasteland, take on unique missions and side quests, eliminate eccentric bandits and battle savage gangs. There's only one thing to live for now — revenge.
Mad Max surprised me. I assumed it was just a cheap cash-in. However, it is actually a fun and exciting game set in a well-realized world. Some mission objectives are a little repetitive, but you can generally choose between a variety of ways to accomplish them.
Little known direct to video movie surprised me with how entertaining it is. The fight scenes are well done and brutal. The violence may be too much for some.

This set contains every episode from the second season of the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones based on the expansive novels written by George R.R. Martin about feuding clans.
HBO continues to put out a great product. The show is amazing as is the Blu-ray package. They continue to excel and bring the world to life on a budget that rarely hurts the show. Acting and direction remain of high quality.
As the story continues to grow, the show would benefit greatly from an increase in episodes per season.

What's great about it: great show keeps getting better
What's not so great: increase in characters and plot need room to breathe

This is a great television show. What they are able to do with a relatively limited budget is amazing. The world creation on display is top notch. The acting is excellent. The show is endlessly entertaining.
The only complaint I have is that there are so few episodes per season.
