![The Neverending Story [30th Anniversary] [Blu-ray] [1984]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5152/5152105_sa.jpg)

Not really "restored", but still worth a look.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Neverending Story looks all right, so if you're only here because of the promise of "restored video", this might not be what you hoped for. It's exactly the same picture quality as the old disc, despite the fact a "restoration demonstration" is included in the extras. If you're a fan who has the old disc, the only real added value comes from the extras: a commentary from Wolfgang Peterson, a retrospective documentary, and a vintage documentary. Oh, and the restoration demonstration, prepared for a foreign release. If you don't have a copy, this is the edition to get stateside, but it could look better...

A Disney Double Feature worth revisiting!
on April 25, 2017
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I usually hesitate when I see the double feature discs from Disney, if for no other reason than the second film is typically a direct to video sequel I have no interest in. However, The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under are both worth your time, whether you saw the first or second one as a child.

The first of (hopefully) many more Hammer sets!
on April 25, 2017
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
This set doesn't include the first of Hammer's Dracula or Frankenstein series, but for fans of the sequels (or of their first Mummy film), this is a promising start. I wasn't expecting remastered discs, but all four films look great considering their age. Bring on the second volume - it's been long enough!

Don't miss out... BOOOYYYYY!
on April 25, 2017
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the collection to have for Phantasm fans. Even if you already bought Phantasm last fall (or Phantasm: Ravager), this set is a marked improvement over that disc. The films look great, are loaded with extras old and new - many from Don Coscarelli's personal archives - and it's all collected in an attractive and sturdy box. Don't like the covers to the discs? Flip them for the original poster are. Enjoy the book, and hang up your own poster. Again, two sided - choose between a larger version of the set's artwork, or the poster from Phantasm's restored theatrical run last year.

Pull dust, germs and allergens out of the air with this GermGuardian air purifier. The UV light destroys bacteria and viruses and activates odor-removing titanium dioxide inside the unit, while the HEPA filter removes tiny particles from the air. This lightweight GermGuardian air purifier has an ultraquiet mode for efficient performance without excess noise.

Despite regularly dusting and vacuuming, my allergies were going crazy at home, and this filter has made all the difference in settling it down. No matter where we put it, regardless of the size of the room, it makes a marked difference.

The only way you should watch The Wolverine
on March 31, 2017
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
The "Unleashed" cut is, for my money, the only real version of the movie, and the only way to get it is in this set. Fortunately, the price has dropped quite a bit, and will sometimes come with movie money for Logan (the even better James Mangold / Hugh Jackman Wolverine movie), so think of it as a two-fer.

Jackie Vernon - Cannibal?!?
on March 31, 2017
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
Arrow has done a great job restoring Microwave Massacre, a movie that's... a movie. Kind of. It's mostly a long string of bits for star Jackie Vernon, slapped together as haphazardly as possible. I usually sound like I don't like Microwave Massacre when I talk about it, but to be fair it is fun in a dumb way. Just try to rent it first...

If you like Pieces, I highly recommend Slugs. It's from the same director, has the same slightly unreal vibe, and some fantastic gore. It's also dumber than a bag of rocks, but I mean that in a good way.

The (Mostly) Final Frontier
on March 31, 2017
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm docking this a star for the lack of a corrected Wrath of Khan - there's a small error in the Kobiyashi Maru section with switched shots of Sulu - and the lack of new discs for the other original series movies (or the director's cut of The Undiscovered Country). That said, you're getting the original series, the animated series, and all of the TOS movies for much less than buying everything separately. The packaging is nice and keeps everything together for display.

This Bud's for, um, you?
on March 31, 2017
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D. would be a pretty good Return of the Living Dead sequel (which it was, nearly), so it's better if you forget about it having much of anything to do with C.H.U.D. it's not a, shall we say, great movie, but if you like your comedy (very) lowbrow and have a fondness for Gerritt Graham (Used Cars), it might be worth looking into.
