It took me a while to warm up to their first single and opening track, ‘Lemon,’ but from then on it's classic, experimental, & fun Neptunes production. Their prior album Nothing didn't thrill me very much, so I'm ecstatic to say that seven years later, N✭E✭R✭D comes back with a vengeance; hitting hard track after track with unexpected change-ups that keep things fresh. Cop this post-haste!
Based on the novels of bestselling author Charlaine Harris, HBO's True Blood follows telepath Sookie Stackhouse's (Anna Paquin) perilous supernatural journey after a romance with vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyers) changes the course of her life. Though political corruption and ethical dilemmas in the vampire community pose a constant threat, a multitude of other supernatural creatures and entities also plague the community of Bon Temps, LA, humans often prove to be an equal threat to humanity.

Admittedly, the digipaks of the individual seasons are beautiful in their own right, but any fan who held out to get the complete collection of this series will not be disappointed with this box set! Each season is collected in its own jewel case, all housed in this lovely box pictured with the main cast of characters. Just got into the first season so far, and the picture & audio quality are top-notch. Can't wait to sink my teeth into the rest of this series!
With a never-before-seen, alternate cut of the film - plus 90 minutes of all-new, immersive special features - the X-Men Days of Future Past Rogue Cut takes you deeper into the X-Men universe than ever before. Rogue makes her return as the all-star characters from the original X-Men film trilogy join forces with their younger selves and unite to battle armies of murderous Sentinel robots who are hunting down mutants and humans alike! Humans alike!

This is possibly the perfect edition of DoFP for fans of Anna Paquin's Rogue who miss her on the theatrical cut of the film. Aside from her appearance, the alternate/extended takes and re-edits used in this version make it fresh enough to feel like a brand new experience. I only wish they made a 3D edition of this cut, but aside from that the the theatrical version, Rogue Cut, and extra Blu-ray of bonus features make for a pretty complete package.

Almost ten years since their last studio album and well worth the wait! First listen of this album and I already loved it just as much as Blazing Arrow, their second album. Don't sleep on Imani Vol. 1!!!

Continuing almost immediately where the first John Wick flick left off, Chapter 2 shows no signs of slowing and, pretty literally, crashes in multiple times over. *Minor Spoiler* A little light on the humor this time around, but delves more into the secret underworld of assassins that Wick is reluctant to return; though that doesn't stop him from preparing himself with twice the bullets with gunplay that at times you may have to suspend disbelief. Still a fun movie to watch, with superb visuals, audio, and Special Features as the first chapter housed in an equally superb SteelBook.

Gotta admit, didn't think much of this movie when I first heard of it, but hearing so much positive feedback about it piqued my interest. So when I heard Best Buy was releasing SteelBooks for both chapters, I delved in with confidence… and they did not disappoint! What first sounded like a ridiculously hilarious revenge tale ends up being pretty touching and relatable, barreling us into John Wick's legend that has the entire criminal underworld shaking. Very crisp visuals and audio accompany the blu-ray, encased in this well-designed SteelBook (*Minor Spoiler* which I must say would have probably been more fitting for the Chapter 2 SteelBook). Topped off are a generous amount of Special Features that make this total package well worth your purchase.

I've been biding my time for the US to get a worthy collector's case for AKIRA, always disappointed that Japan and the UK got their exclusives. Finally, I couldn't be happier that the US got ours; and while it's not a SteelBook per se, it's crafted after the Viva Metal Box similar to those Disney used to produce a few years back. The cover has lovely pop-up edging of the iconic image of Kaneda approaching his bike with the AKIRA logo on bottom, with the interiors showing the equally iconic nuclear explosion engraved across the panels and spine. The discs themselves are the very same from the 25th Anniversary Edition, which its best new feature would have to be the inclusion of the original 1988 English dub. If you already own that edition, there's nothing new on disc, but another fantastic addition is the exclusive 32-page booklet included in the US Limited Collector's Edition that came out in 2009, showcasing some of the production process. While I'm bummed that they still didn't include all the special features from the 2001 DVD, I'm still very thrilled by this edition, and it's probably as complete as it will get for the Blu-ray format.

I admit, unlike their prior albums this was not an instant classic for me. I think it's because it doesn't quite feel like a Gorillaz album. Perhaps it's because I can't quite latch onto the album's central theme; that and the overuse of interludes that kind of break the flow of the album. After a few listens, though, it grew on me; and I've come to realize that there are some really great tracks on here (“Charger” and “Andromeda” being a couple of my faves) and can even enjoy it as a whole. So if you're not instantly won over by this album the first time around, try giving it a second, third, or even sixth listen. It may not be the greatest Gorillaz album, but it's a great album regardless

Best Buy's Rogue One SteelBook exclusive was an instant buy for me. I dig the overall design of the artwork, inside and out. Sound & picture quality are stellar for both 2D/3D versions. I was surprised, though, that the 3D version was not as eye-popping as I expected (though the X-Wings flying through the rain sequence was very notable). The separate disc of bonus features is always a welcome, though the absence of a trailer gallery is a bummer. Overall, another highly recommended release.

Once again, Marvel Studios delivers a beauty. First off, the SteelBook is cleverly designed after The Book of Cagliostro and the Eye of Agamotto, with even the interior art imprinted with pages seen from the movie. As for the movie itself, 3D is definitely the way to go if possible; lending true substance to some of the most vivid and imaginative special effects Marvel Studios continues to conjure.
