Not really a Halloween horror film
on December 10, 2016
Posted by: Sergeant
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was one of the many Best Buy put at $5.99 for Halloween. This was a drama, not a horror. A little boring, but some good plot twists. HUGE kudos for the intricate and phenomenal ballet from Portman - no stand-in, she did the holiday classic all by herself, and beautifully executed.

A Must Have if you own "Da Vinci Code"
on December 10, 2016
Posted by: Sergeant
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a must for anyone who liked the prequel. I was surprised that the protagonist worked with Hanks. The movie was neither hoaky nor overly dramatic, and without the spoiler, the antagonist was an excellent choice. The best part - since I already owned it on DVD - was immensely improved surround sound. And the sound levels stayed constant (many blu-rays add in the theatre blow-outs that are too loud for home) while utilizing my 5.1 perfectly: You'll look to your left or right away from the screen, the hi-def sound is that good!

Worth the Scare

The movie was better than expected, with some very scary new exorcism moves. The acting was well done as well. For the price, I highly recommend it.

There's only 7!
on January 5, 2016
Posted by: Sergeant
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought the entire "F & F" Steelbook collection for the holidays, and this is just one of the Steelbook jacket designs - I have two off the three available American, and this is the less "cartoonish" with the sleek pics of our hero's set in the middle. The Steelbook features all the bonus extras, but the digitally 1080P and 5.1. DTS-HD enhance the "full throttle" experience. As these are all "LIMITED EDITION STEELBOOK," if you want it, get it ASAP from Best Buy, before it's only available for major $$$ on eBay.

Just One More Steelbook in the Bond Collection
on January 5, 2016
Posted by: Sergeant
Verified Purchase:Yes
All the 007 Steelbooks have a cover that true Bond fans will recognize from the famous opening credit Montage of the classic films, whether it was to Sir Paul (McCartney), Sheena Easton, or the best of all, the amazing "haunting" vocals from "Goldfinger" and "Diamonds are Forever," the tireless Shirley Bassey. In addition to the 2:35;1 widescreen, there's DTS-HD audio on the "Thunderball" Steelbook. Four "Featurettes" round out this Steelbook that will only go up in value...so buy it now at just over the cost of the blu-ray plastic that only devalues with time.

A Definite Must for Steelbook Collectors!
on January 5, 2016
Posted by: Sergeant
Verified Purchase:Yes
The price for the T-2 Steelbook has been so low that I had to add it to my "Terminator Collection." The Steelbook design was as awesome as the metal cover limited edition T-2 "Extreme DVD" that they sold two decades ago (lower right corner in the photo), before Steelbooks ever existed. And don't let anybody fool you; I bought the "Terminator Genisys" Steelbook (upper left corner of pic) for the same price as the plastic blu-ray, and in addition to an hour of extras, our ex-Governor definitely hit the gym before filming and was as tough without CGI as he's ever been. And if you watch the extras, you'll hear how nice and down-to-earth he was when his co-stars were nervous to be working with the REAL "Terminator." Throughout the filming, he was as gracious with the new talent as he was with the guys and gals working out at Gold's Venice (Beach) back in the day, even after winning his record breaking bodybuilding championships and becoming a millionaire/movie star. People can criticize his accent and his acting, but BUY T-5 and you'll cheer him on, especially when they create a CGI version of Arnold from T-1 by using a young bodybuilder with the same upper body Arnold had in film #1, and our senior citizen kicks the younger CGI Arnold's butt!!! You gotta love it when they keep these guys out of "The Expendables" and give us more "Rambo," "Rocky/Creed," and HOPEFULLY "Terminator 6"! This "Judgement Day" Steelbook presentation was explosive with 1080P high Def picture and a 6.1 DTS-HD audio.

STEROID CARS, ACTORS, ACTION in Stunning Packaging
on January 5, 2016
Posted by: Sergeant
Verified Purchase:Yes
Hey, I'm a sucker for ACTION movies. Give me great car chases and I don't care about a plot. And they brought back Michelle Rodriguez (sorely missing from "F&F#5) to match up with our beloved Paul Walker (R.I.P. Buddy, and you weren't even driving...we will miss your personality and acting, and most of all how you never had an attitude that so many actors get stuck up on themselves), so let Dwayne & Diesel keep up the action through this (#6) and "Furious 7," and I'm good to go! Got the whole series on the beautiful designed "Only@Best Buy LIMITED EDITION STEELBOOK" series. A MUST for us collectors. And you'll never have to deal with a cracked blu-ray or DVD case again! RANT on trying to buy these from BEST BUY: Under the great leadership of President Hubert Jolie and continuing with CEO Brad Anderson, the Minnesota leadership brought back the DVD market share they had lost to online stores like Amazon and brought about their OWN online sales and brought back movie customers into the Best Buy physical stores - a ingenious move by Best Buy administration, but a hassle to buyers, especially in Los Angeles, where too many of us are "collectors" versus Redbox renters, and only in L.A. do we spend our hard earned cash on collecting these Steelbook beauties. The SERIOUS PROBLEM that the admin officers stick us with is that the ONLINE store is allocated VERY FEW Steelbooks to sell and ship to us, even if we are willing to pay for shipping. AND JUST AS BAD, each store is provided with a VERY SMALL NUMBER OF STEELBOOKS and the stores are FORBIDDEN by Best Buy POLICY to TAKE ANY ORDERS FOR STEELBOOKS! So even if you have cash in hand, they can't order from a warehouse OR EVEN TRANSFER ONE COPY FROM ANY OTHER STORE IN THE COUNTRY THAT HAS IT IN STOCK!!! Best Buy Administration set a POLICY that NO STORE CAN SHIP STEELBOOKS TO YOU: Best Buy policy requires that YOU HAVE TO PERSONALLY (physically) COME INTO A STORE THAT HAS COPIES, BECAUSE POLICY FORBIDS THE STORE MANAGER FROM SENDING STEELBOOKS TO A STORE NEAR YOU. So when Best Buy uses the word "LIMITED," that also applies to EACH STORE and ONLINE. I am a loyal "Elite Plus" Best Buy customer, but even I had to buy some of these on eBay rather than drive to a store 75 miles away (150 miles roundtrip to a Best Buy store that - if they go by their register versus physically checking the shelves and pulling it to hold for you - may NOT even have the Steelbook by the time it takes to drive there!) So you can cross your fingers and try to get one of these great Best Buy ONLY products - like I did with the "Fast & Furious," except for one of the seven of the series I had to buy off eBay to complete my collection - but popular movies are "Pre-Order" and so they are SOLD OUT from Best Buy's online store. If you get lucky, getting these collectible Steelbooks from Best Buy is the least expensive option - and these are GREAT GIFTS for movie collectors - because many eBay sellers charge more than TWICE what B.B. charges: $40-$100-. But if you are patient, you can get a used Steelbook from eBay for the original price Best Buy charged for a new unwrapped copy. With all that said, kudos to Best Buy President & CEO for getting their market share back. I am hooked on these new Steelbooks (if you couldn't tell from the picture I posted) and another note of caution: Walmart and Target's "Metal" casing is a cheap rip off very different than (Limited Edition) Steelbooks. The "Only@Best Buy LIMITED EDITION STEELBOOK is the best way to get the genuine "Steelbook." Another benefit of Best Buy is that if you can buy them from online, they ship them in protected packing, so not one of the 50 I have are bent or scratched. And if you are willing to wait for a Steelbook release - which includes both blu-ray AND DVD - you'll never have the problem of a plastic case being cracked or broken for the same price as the cheap packing of new releases. Also, Best Buy offers Steelbooks for as low as $9.99, with new releases at $19.99 - $24.99. And they look GREAT on the shelf, much better than trying to read the edge of a blu-ray!:

Buying #5 of a "trilogy"?
on January 5, 2016
Posted by: Sergeant
Verified Purchase:Yes
With Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson co-starring, I sure didn't buy it for the acting! But you put these two guys who are lead powerhouses in the best "B-movies" for pure action, and the testosterone and steroids make the "Fast & Furious" series even better. I bought it for the unique and Limited Edition (Only@Best Buy) Steelbook, because I just HAD to have these beautifully designed metal-work for my collection, and even if I never take the plastic wrap off (Note to Buyers: Some GENIUS taped the paper that is a copy of the rear info and reads "LIMITED EDITION STEELBOOK" on the front on to the top and bottom of the Steelbook case, so you CAN'T watch the DVD/Blu-Ray without tearing off the "L.E. Steelbook" heading!) But other than that, Best Buy under the new Minnesota leadership brought the DVD market share away from Amazon and into their online sales and especially their stores - a ingenious move by Best Buy administration, but a hassle to buyers, especially in Los Angeles, where all us spend our hard earned cash on collecting these Steelbook beauties; but the online store has very few available, and each store is evidently given only one or two small shipments - so I had to drive from Hollywood to Temecula to get this Steelbook - because the POLICY is that NO STORE CAN SHIP STEELBOOK'S TO YOU, AND YOU HAVE TO PERSONALLY COME INTO A STORE THAT HAS COPIES, BECAUSE POLICY FORBIDS THE STORE MANAGER FROM SENDING STEELBOOKS TO A STORE NEAR YOU. So when Best Buy uses the word "LIMITED," that also applies to EACH STORE and ONLINE. I am a loyal "Elite Plus" Best Buy customer, but even I had to by some of these on eBay rather than drive to a store 75 miles away. So you can cross your fingers and try to get one of these great Best Buy ONLY products (like I did with the "Fast & Furious," but even I had to get one of the series off eBay to complete my collection.

Smart Marketing by Best Buy
on January 5, 2016
Posted by: Sergeant
Verified Purchase:Yes
Best Buy had to share the "Steelbook" phenom with Target & Walmart, but if you order when the Limited Edition Steelbook first come out, only Best Buy will hold one at a store or ship it to you. Even though #4 of the "Fast & Furious" series wasn't a great movie, when I saw the great job of the Steelbook packaging, I had to buy at least one of each of these BEST BUY LIMITED EDITION STEELBOOK because eBay was already selling them at $59- versus Best Buy's offer of $19.99 - $24.99.

A Cool Design for the Coolest F&F
on January 5, 2016
Posted by: Sergeant
Verified Purchase:Yes
They did a great job in printing a very cool cover design for one of the best in the series, the unique skill of "drifting." I wound up buying the whole Best Buy Limited Edition Steelbook series even though I have the movies.
