Non-stop Thrill ride

Jurassic World is an incredibly well made movie with state of the art CGI effects that will astonish. They work extremely well in 3-D and you feel immersed in the wonder of Jurassic World. The smallest detail is not overlooked. The cast is stellar and the film pays homage to the films that went before and lays the groundwork for the inevitable sequels. A real cut above the typical summer action blockbuster and holds up under repeated viewing. Not to be missed. Just please, if you visit the park, DON'T wear high heels!!

It Follows into your nightmares
on July 18, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
It Follows is a great horror/suspense movie that never lets the pressure up as it continually creeps you out. The cast of relative unknowns delivers a believable performance as they are haunted and threatened by a murderous entity who could look like a total stranger or your mother. The story revolves around a curse that is passed to another by having intimate relations. Once cursed, you are relentlessly stalked by a relentless killer. The message invokes every fear from the crisis of sexually transmitted disease to the social impact of our liberal desires, guilt and the possible effects on others. The suspense never lets up and a scene at an indoor pool may make you give up swimming forever. There are several cool twists and turns in the story tho the ending seems too abrupt. Next time you're walking alone down a quiet street make sure to look over your shoulder. Who knows if ...it follows?

Imitation Game is a great World War II period piece that explores the social mores of that time. I would describe the plot but it seems Best Buy finds it unacceptable to actually describe the characters in the film. If Best Buy is so sensitive it makes me wonder why they even offer the movie for sale. Get this great film and see for yourself.

Folklore and Fantasy and Soapsuds, oh MY!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Once upon a time is built on a very interesting idea---that fairy tales are alive and living in modern America. This plot is very similar to the long running Vertigo comic series Fables but hey, who can copyright fairly tales? The action is enhanced by a great cast of actors tho the show does veer into soap opera territory occasionally. Oddly, this only adds to the enjoyment. An interesting twist on myth and legend, but the show is teetering close to a cliff named Disney. Elsa, anyone??

![American Horror Story: Coven [3 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/d0f11558-6d70-41c1-b09b-9d2f84f13549.jpg)
The third season of this horror anthology series is set primarily at a secret school for witches in New Orleans. After an absence in Season 2, Taissa Farmiga returns to the show as Zoe Benson, a young woman who unexpectedly discovers that she possesses a dangerous supernatural ability. She's sent to the special Louisiana school--which is run by Headmistress Cordelia Foxx (Sarah Paulson)--where she embarks on spell-filled adventures with fellow witches Madison Montgomery (Emma Roberts), Nan (Jamie Brewer) and Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe). Jessica Lange is also back as Fiona Goode, a powerful witch chasing eternal life, while Evan Peters plays frat boy Kyle Spencer in his return. Other familiar faces include Denis O'Hare and Lily Rabe, while newcomers Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett bring fresh excitement to the talented cast.

American Horror Story-the Coven is another scarey fun ride from master Ryan Murphy. He gathers a great, diverse cast of excellent actresses and sets them down in New Orleans-perhaps America's most exotic, mystical city--for a spellbinding tale of magic, horror and revenge. Not to give anything away but this story will scare your socks off.

An excellent addition to the batman story
on May 18, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
DC and Warner Bros. continue the excellent series of Batman animated films with "Batman vs. Robin." This movie closely follows the comic book storyline and details Batman's attempts to tutor his wayward son in the ways of justice and fighting crime. It also introduces the Court of Owls to the cinematic universe with the welcome addition of the Talons, the Court's enforcement team. And a very scary, formidable bunch they are. Well produced and paced this film is time well spent for the comic or the animation fan.

Taken my breath away

Taken 3 is a fast entertaining movie and a worthy successor to the first 2 films. 1 must leave their brain at the door to follow along as Liam's character destroys half of L.A. in his relentless pursuit of of wife's killers. He may be innocent in her death, but surely owes the city millions in restitution. He movie is well made and certainly keeps moving at a breakneck pace. Forest Whitaker's quirky police detective deserves his own spin-off movie 4 his scene stealing performance. The movie may be by the numbers, but it's also great fun

Visually stunning but...
on April 11, 2015

Visually stunning is the only way to describe Interstellar. There are less kind words..Verbose, jaw-droppingly dull in spots, pretentious and occasionally down right silly come to mind. But despite all this it is still...visually stunning. Borrowing from several other movies in the same genre, Interstellar takes us to the end of the universe and beyond where we meet Matt Damon?? I won't give the ending away but I will say it should have ended 10 minutes earlier with a true Twilight Zone ending instead of the sugary ending we are given. The film is slightly better than the vastly over rated Dark Knight Rises, but that's not saying much. But is is visually stunning!

Howling good fun
on March 15, 2015
Posted by: coverstory
from pittsburgh, pa
Verified Purchase:Yes
Early reviews of this movie that I read were not that good but I liked the concept and decided to pick it up and judge for myself. Is the movie an Academy choice? Obviously not, but if you like cheezy, so-bad-they're-good horror flicks this one's for you. Blood splatters, skin is shed and heads roll as Officer Lou Garou ( get it?) is transformed into a werewolf to fulfill an ancient curse. Before long his is pimping his cop car into a wolf version of the Batmobile and shooting it out with the bad guys --when he isn't ripping their faces off. The actor playing Lou has to be one of the baddest actors around, but that just adds to the charm. A must see for fans of this type of thing, and the end credits promise a Wolf Cop 2 next year. I can't wait!

Decent ending to a fun trilogy
on March 15, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
Night at the Museum 3 is a decent ending to am inventive and colorful trilogy, Ben Stiller reprises his role as Larry the Night watchman who rides herd over a bunch of museum exhibits that only come alive at night thanks to an ancient Egyptian tablet. We finally learn the origins of the tablet and its powers in this effects filled adventure. Robin Williams is great in his final role as a wax version of Teddy Roosevelt, but I'm afraid the true star of the film is Dexter the little monkey with a very active bladder. I'll leave that for the viewers to discover for themselves. The film is a treasure trove of CGI effects that dazzle the eye and pop from the screen. Moving the action to London adds a bit of freshness to the script and the addition of Rebel Wilson as Larry's English counterpart is hilarious. The film leaves us with a serious message about growing up and letting go that makes it worthwhile family viewing.
