This fantastical animated release offers a collection of three beloved films, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Fun and Fancy Free, and The Reluctant Dragon.

Two Wonderful Slices of Disney Nostalgia
on September 13, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
This double-feature set would be worthwhile even if it only had what is listed - newly restored versions of Fun and Fancy Free and Ichabod and Mr. Toad. However, as a special feature, it has the wonderful The Reluctant Dragon film, which is as good or better than the title features.

What's great about it: The number of cartoons; the animation
What's not so great: Not much - this is a great value-priced option!

Okay Blu-ray of a Great Movie
on August 13, 2014
Posted by: Moviegeek123
from Richmond, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The King of Comedy is one of Martin Scorsese's most underrated pictures; it's smart, funny, and eerily prescient about today's media culture. This Blu-ray doesn't quite match its excellence, though the AV/PQ is good.
My Best Buy number: 2858898051

What's great about it: The performances; Scorsese's direction
What's not so great: The Blu-ray features are just okay

Solid, unspectacular thriller
on August 13, 2014
Posted by: Moviegeek123
from Richmond, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a textbook example of style trumping substance; when all is said and revealed, Trance barely makes a whit of sense, but it's so well made and acted that the sheer lunacy of the plot doesn't matter while it's unfolding. Not top-tier Danny Boyle, but it'll do.
My Best Buy number: 2858898051
My Best Buy number: 2858898051
What's great about it: Danny Boyle's visual style, Rosario Dawson
What's not so great: The plot is completely ridiculous/nonsensical

Wonderful comedy; okay Blu-ray
on June 14, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
A classic comedy: Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey make such a great team. Too bad the Blu-ray is near-bare-bones, with a useless extended edition that adds nothing of value.

Mediocre Blu-Ray of a great film
on June 14, 2014
Posted by: Moviegeek123
from Richmond, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Point Break is one of the great action thrillers - it's silly and exciting and overwhelmingly visceral. The disc, though, needs a big upgrade in terms of both PQ/AQ and bonus features.
My Best Buy number: 2858898051
My Best Buy number: 2858898051
What's great about it: Great action sequences, brilliant direction
What's not so great: So-so audio and picture quality, boring supplements

Great Film, Adequate Blu-ray
on March 29, 2014
Posted by: Moviegeek123
from Richmond, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've got nothing bad to say about the movie itself. It's a horrifying, hilarious, and exhilaratingly well-made satire of corporate greed gone amok. The Blu-ray, however, leaves A LOT to be desired. Even this Best Buy-exclusive, which adds supplements not on the standard Blu-ray, is lacking - it provides twenty-two minutes of extra (and very fluffy, clip-heavy) documentaries. It's clear that more BTS footage was shot - why is Paramount offering up so little?
My Best Buy number: 2858898051
My Best Buy number: 2858898051
What's great about it: The movie is amazing, and it looks and sounds great
What's not so great: Even this Best Buy-exclusive edition is low on features

A Great Blu-ray for a Great Film
on February 22, 2014
Posted by: Moviegeek123
from Richmond, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Robocop remains one of the great action-thrillers of the past thirty years - it's as violent, funny, and socially relevant as it was in 1987. This remastered Blu-ray rectifies the terrible HD disc that MGM/Fox put out at the beginning of the Blu-ray format.
My Best Buy number: 2858898051
My Best Buy number: 2858898051
What's great about it: Much improved PQ/AQ, loads of bonus features, movie is still phenomenal
What's not so great: No main menu for supplements

A Classic Western Gets an Okay Blu-ray
on December 28, 2013
Posted by: Moviegeek123
Verified Purchase:Yes
What can I say that hasn't already been said about this classic Western adventure? It's a near perfect mix of violence, adventure, and postmodern comedy. The Blu-ray, alas, isn't quite up to snuff - the picture quality suffers from some unnecessary EE.
My Best Buy number: 2858898051
My Best Buy number: 2858898051
What's great about it: Redford and Newman, William Goldman's script, Conrad Hall's cinematography
What's not so great: Fuzzy PQ on the Blu-ray; recycled bonus features

The Best Season of AMC's Great Drama
on December 28, 2013
Posted by: Moviegeek123
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the best season of Breaking Bad, and that's saying something: Walter White truly crosses the point of no return in a three-episode run ("Crawl Space," "End Times," and "Face Off") that rivals any feature-length thriller you might see on the big screen.
My Best Buy number: 2858898051

What's great about it: Acting, writing, directing
What's not so great: Not a thing - a perfect run of television.

Stunning Entry in Breaking Bad's Development
on December 28, 2013
Posted by: Moviegeek123
Verified Purchase:Yes
This season was the first one where the Breaking Bad staff started making things up as they went along, and the results are stunning. The character work is at a new peak, and the suspense is almost unbearable (see "Fly" or "One Minute" for proof); the last shot of the final episode hits you like a shot to the gut.

What's great about it: Vivid, terrifying drama; wonderful, quirky characters
What's not so great: It's only thirteen episodes long.
