A Novel-less Adaptation
on October 2, 2014
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
While Ryan Gosling fans might want to look around for reviews (possibly ones with spoilers) before purchasing this, the sprawling narrative grabs audiences and pulls you in for nearly two and a half hours. I picked this up on Blu-Ray because at this price, you really can't go wrong. Highly recommended.

Based on the adaptation of a BBC miniseries of the same name, House of Cards is set in Washington, D.C., where democrat Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) serves as the House Majority Whip and represents South Carolina's 5th congressional district. When he is not appointed as Secretary of State as expected, Underwood vows to exact revenge upon those whom he feels betrayed him. Robin Wright, Kate Mara, and Corey Stoll also star. House of Cards earned nine nominations for original online only web television for the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2013.

For Your Friends Who Don't Have Netflix
on October 2, 2014
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
As long as you don't mind not having the commentary tracks, this is a nice alternative for being able to show House of Cards to friends who don't have Netflix. And, if you don't have internet, you can still watch it. I'd call that a "win / win".

A Good Repackage for the Right Price
on October 2, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked this up mostly for Cop Land, but for the same price I also got First Blood and Lock Up for free. They're basically the same discs as the individual releases, but packaged together at a really good price.

Short, but still Toy Story
on October 2, 2014
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm glad that Disney / Pixar isn't asking the full price for what is (essentially) a short film. That said, they more than make up for it by including the other Toy Story Shorts, the faux commercials included or separate from Toy Story of Terror, plus a whole host of other extras, commentaries, and making-of's. It may not be long, but you'll enjoy just as much as Toy Story 1-3.

After receiving a devastating cancer diagnosis and the staggeringly costly treatment plan that comes along with it, high school chemistry teacher Walter White (Bryan Cranston) puts his expertise to use by taking up an unorthodox new hobby: creating the perfect methamphetamine. When he develops a reputation for quality goods, Walter finds himself deeply immersed in the drug world, his part-time job having become a full-time preoccupation before he could truly understand the repercussions it would bring upon himself, his family, and his partner in crime Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul). This collection includes all five seasons of the groundbreaking television show from AMC.

Fantastic Collection
on October 2, 2014
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you don't already have the individual seasons, this set is the way to go. When the first "complete" set came out - the one in the barrel - I thought about picking it up, but the price was too steep. This includes the extra disc from that set plus all of the previously released seasons of Breaking Bad with all of their included extras (minus the Mythbusters episode). It was a great bargain and I'm looking forward to watching the show from beginning to end - all over again.

Scream Factory Does Ginger Snaps Justice
on August 22, 2014
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
For a long time, the only way to see Ginger Snaps in the US was to watch a pan-and-scan DVD or to import the Canadian disc. Scream Factory has finally done this cult werewolf film justice by giving Ginger Snaps the "Collector's Edition" treatment. Not only are all of the extras from the Canadian disc onboard, they've included a new retrospective documentary and a horror roundtable, plus the film in high definition for the first time. The picture might not blow away fans expecting the latest blockbuster, but it does justice to Ginger Snaps' low budget roots. Highly recommended.

Back in print (and from Criterion to boot)
on August 22, 2014
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
Almodovar fans are in for a treat, and this might be a good sign you can retire the Viva Pedro dvd boxed set (that's out of print now). Criterion has released their fir Almodovar film, and if you're a fan of the director, it's well worth picking up. Let's hope it's the first of many to come...

Finally on Blu-Ray (and Criterion)
on August 22, 2014
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
After waiting for Cuaron to finish Gravity and approve their Blu-Ray, Criterion finally adds Y tu Mama Tambien to the collection. It was worth the wait. This disc blows the old DVD out of the water and carries most (although not all) of the extras over. One note: be careful if you have this shipped, because the set is packaged in a digipack and can be crushed if you aren't careful.

Great Packaging for Jurassic Park
on June 28, 2014
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're only looking to buy Jurassic Park (and not the trilogy or the 3-D version), this is your best bet. Personally, I think the artwork on this Steelbook looks great, with the Park Logo and the T-Rex in a "comic book" stylized on the cover. It looks great on display and people have mentioned how "cool" it looks compared to the regular edition.

Best Looking Version of Serenity You Can Get
on June 28, 2014
Posted by: CapnHowdy
from Raleigh, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
So by my count there are three versions of Serentiy you can buy on Blu-Ray: a BD only release, a BD-DVD-Digital Copy version with the same cover, and this Steelbook. In terms of content, this is the same version as the latter edition, but with Universal's "Comic Book" panel style Steelbook art. The cover resembles versions of Serenity available overseas with River as the focus, and is great for display.
