Best film of 2014
on March 28, 2015
Posted by: ColonelStarsandStripes

Verified Purchase:Yes
Everything you've heard about this tiny little film is true. It's one of the most electrifying movie experiences of the last decade. Miles Teller is a revelation and Oscar-winner JK Simmons plays a magnificent b*****d. Avoid third act spoilers in advance and watch Whiplash asap!

Best if you're already a fan

Verified Purchase:Yes
Sondheim musicals in particular are an acquired taste. That said, ITW is a fine effort though it sometimes wobbles under the weight of its own theatrical melodrama and a few suspicious looking sets. Still, my 10-year old daughter thought it was "amazing."

Live ZOMBIE always a good thing

Rob Zombie is one of the best live touring acts around. This CD is the next best thing to being there. Great setlist and loud unfiltered hard rock.

Meh.

Verified Purchase:Yes
A fair sequel, albeit inferior to the original film. The same great voices and characters return even if the story is a bit contrived. Another blu-ray stunner though and unlike the release of the first film, this one carries over all of the DVD special features.

Funny stuff.
on February 5, 2015
Posted by: ColonelStarsandStripes

Verified Purchase:Yes
After 4 Ice Age films (and counting) the first one is still far and away the best and funniest. Good voice cast, entertaining premise and funny characters. The blu-ray itself is a sight to behold. The only downside is hardly any of the wealth of special features that graced the 2-disc DVD were ported over to this blu-ray. I kept the second disc of that special edition and Frankensteined my own blu-ray special edition.

Mediocre film but good for the kids.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Who'd have thunk Alvin & the Chipmunks would make such a comeback. An old-fashioned property has been given a modern-day makeover and the results are mixed. Purists will cringe but kids will dig it. The blu-ray is a fine effort, though nothing extraordinary. Aggressively priced to own, which is not a bad thing.

Great movie, worth getting the 3D version.

Verified Purchase:Yes
GotG was the second highest grossing film of the year, so I'm not going to spend time reviewing the film itself (chances are you've already seen it). As for the blu-ray itself, it's a must-own and even if you don't have a 3D tv/player yet, you should invest in the 3D blu-ray as the 3D scenes are expanded to replicate the viewing experience of seeing the film in IMAX. I do wish more bonus features were included but that's been a problem with all Marvel releases ever since Disney took over.

So-so movie, great blu-ray

While the tank battles (both of them) are expertly staged, overall the film is slow and talky. That being said, the a/v quality is top-notch and for a limited time, Best Buy is offering a limited edition bonus disc with about an hour of additional content.

Foo Fighters can do no wrong

Verified Purchase:Yes
though it only features eight tracks, this is a solid offering from Dave Grohl and company. Each of the eight songs were inspired by and recorded in a different city, as featured in the acclaimed HBO miniseries sonic highways.

Classic Disney

classic Disney on Blu-ray is always a good thing. Still not a top 10 Disney offering, this is a very likable film. I remember seeing in the theater when I was a kid, so I have fond memories.
