J.J. Abrams' fresh take on Star Trek does a great job of reinvigorating the franchise. Strong actors and a good plot anchor compelling action in this summer blockbuster.
The only downside to this release is the lack of extras - those who are interested in commentaries and behind-the-scenes specials would do well to purchase the Star Trek Compendium, which includes Star Trek and Into Darkness along with the full suite of special features for both.

Into Darkness isn't quite up there with the first rebooted Trek, and does suffer from some plot holes and oddities, but it's entertaining from beginning to end, and overall a good entry into the rebooted Trek franchise.

Hellboy II, along with the first film, benefits immensely from del Toro's expertise with practical effects. An entertaining film with decent extras on Blu-Ray.

Fury Road came out of left field to become not only one of the best films of 2015, but one of the best action movies ever crafted. It's an instant classic, a quintessential film in its genre that is sure to have a long-lasting influence.
The extras included on the Blu-Ray release are good, if a bit lacking (the absence of a director's commentary is probably the most glaring thing missing). But for those who want to dig a bit deeper into how the film was made, they do provide some interesting interviews and behind the scenes footage.

A fun adventure with beautiful cinematography, solid acting, and some clever writing, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is an entertaining film with a good message about stepping outside of your comfort zone to pursue life.
