With a movie like ALLEGIENT, you know the Blu-ray will probably be of high quality and it is. Picture and sound are top-notch. If you are a fan of the series and have the others on Blu-ray, there is no reason not to get this.
Deadpool is a crass, adult-humor, violent comic book adaptation, but all for the better! The movie is intent on trying new things that other comic book adaptations haven't and for the most part it succeeds. The only criticism I have is that there weren't that many minutes of wall-to-wall action in the running time. The A/V quality is perfect, especially for Blu-ray. The extras are fine but anyone who is a fan of Deadpool has already probably bought this. If not, get it (and don't let the kiddies see it)!!!
Guillermo Del Toro continues his legacy of gothic horror (Devil's Backbone, Pan's Labyrinth) with Crimson Peak. While not as strong as his previous efforts, the atmosphere oozes with dread and menace. The use of color also plays an important part. The great A/V quality on the Blu-ray make those colors and sound pop off the screen!
This release collects every episode from season two of the popular Netflix original series about Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a classy woman in her thirties who is sentenced to prison after being convicted of a ten-year-old crime of trafficking money for her drug-dealer girlfriend.
If you enjoyed Season 1, you should enjoy Season 2. What made Season 1 great is present in Season 2. Life in a women's prison from the point-of-view of an inmate who was busted for a minor offense but observes and is involved in major drama inside. A/V quality is great for a TV show.
Totally deserving of a Best Picture nomination, the story of a group of people who saw imminent danger in the financial world was riveting and suspenseful without talking "down" to its audience. McKay, who usually does sophomoric comedies fires on all cylinders to tell a great story with great acting/directing. The A/V quality is top notch, perfect on Blu-ray.
What can I say about the movie that many have already said? It was a great effort (even though the plot somewhat mirrors Episode IV) and an entertaining experience.
The A/V quality on this title is hands-down awesome. Filmed on film, it gives it a movie-like quality, not a sharp video game adventure. Too bad the IMAX scene wasn't opened up (like on Warner's THE DARK KNIGHT Blu-ray). The sound is enveloping and doesn't overpower the vocals.
Extras were good, although for a caliber of this movie, I wish there were more. Probably for a future Special Edition. But I can't complain on what is here.
I'm also glad that there weren't too many extras for different retailers. Best Buy doesn't have the online extra documentary that another retailer has but that still doesn't prevent me from being miffed at "the bottom line" attitude.
Another YA (young adult) book turned movie's sophomore effort falls a little short, like a bridge between a great beginning and a promising end. What's with those underground creatures that every movie like this seems to have? Anyway, the audio and video quality are superb! Near demo material. Extras are good.
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.
AHS is unique. Anthology stories each season. Creepy and made even better with the technical upgrade that Blu-ray provides. Extras a decent, but it's the Blu-ray format that makes this a worthwhile purchase. See, Fox, it works!
Now husband and wife, forensic analyst Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) look after their newborn child while teaming up to solve the most complex of cases. All 22 episodes from the tenth season of the smash FOX procedural drama are featured in this exclusive release.
It's too bad Fox thinks TV on Blu-ray is declining. Maybe it is but don't deny a good show that deserves the technical upgrade that Blu-ray can provide. But regardless of format, the DVD presentation is acceptable. It just doesn't hold up to its Blu-ray releases of prior seasons.
From the Marvel Universe come the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., ready to defend the citizens of the world. In the aftermath of the battle between invading aliens and the Earth's mightiest heroes, the Avengers, the special law-enforcement agency S.H.I.E.L.D. begins to intensively recruit new agents to investigate bizarre events and superhuman sightings. Led by Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), this mismatched team of super spies, geeky scientists, sneaky con artists and regular Joes with extraordinary gifts will have to come together as the first line of defense against the evil forces who seek to corrupt and destroy.
As a fan of Marvel, I was looking forward to this show. Being on Blu-ray was even better. The technical presentation is excellent. The extras are good. Can't wait for Season 2 on Blu-ray!
