Robin Williams stars in director Terry Gilliam's twisted comedy The Fisher King. Columbia has done an excellent job at making sure this 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is clear and concise. The colors and black levels are all spot-on with only the slightest amount of edge enhancement creeping into the image. Otherwise, this is a great-looking image that should really please fans. The soundtrack is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround in English and is, alas, not half as effective as the video presentation. While all aspects of the dialogue, effects, and music are quite clear, dynamic range and fidelity is sorely lacking in this mix. Also included on this disc are English subtitles. Viewers are likely to go bonkers when they find out the only extra features available on this disc are a few measly theatrical trailers.

No special features despite being a deluxe release (Criterion will remedy that soon), it's a brilliant film by Terry Gilliam and probably the only romantic comedy that won't make you wonder "...why are they together?"

Eddie Murphy came out the gate swinging with this one, and it's the film we know him the most for (he'll always be Akeem to me). So it's a shame that he doesn't have anything to say in the special features, but everyone else does enough talking.

My favorite in the series (drift fans should check out Initial D), Tokyo Drift has a great look, sound, and set of special features. Not at the level of Edgar Wright, but they're still worthwhile.

It'll bring you and your lover together, or tear you apart. Either way, it'll be a fun ride. I would've rated it five stars but, though Fincher gives great commentary, there could've been more special features.
This release from the popular British science-fiction series Doctor Who includes all episodes from the show's eighth season, following the titular, Eleventh Doctor (played by Peter Capaldi) as he and his companion use the infamous Tardis to travel through time and space, often stopping aliens, evil, and general chaos from destroying the Earth.

The special features aren't as awesome as they were before, but don't let that stop you. The Twelfth Doctor's adventures are worth more than the price of admission.

NYMPHOMANIAC VOLUME I is the story of Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg), a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac who is discovered badly beaten in an alley by an older bachelor, Seligman (Stellan Skarsgard), who takes her into his home. As he tends to her wounds, she recounts the erotic story of her adolescence and young-adulthood (portrayed in flashback by newcomer Stacy Martin). VOLUME I also stars Shia LaBeouf, Christian Slater, Uma Thurman, Sophie Kennedy Clark, Connie Nielsen and Udo Kier. NYMPHOMANIAC VOLUME II picks up with the story of Joe's adulthood, where her journey of self-discovery leads to darker complications. The film stars Jamie Bell, Willem Dafoe, Mia Goth and Jean-Marc Barr in addition to Gainsbourg, Skarsgard, Martin and LaBeouf.

The film doesn't shy away from its title, as you should expect, but there's a lot of drama and character that shouldn't be overlooked. It's also very dark, but that's what you get when you watch a Lars von Trier film.
I find Best Buy immature for not allowing the three-letter word that takes place throughout a film on their site to be typed.

"Sucker Punch" is what I think a modern Ziegfeld Folly would be. A burlesque show, essentially. Even starts with curtains opening. People take it more serious than they should. It's cheesecake with guns. If that isn't to your liking and you'd like to see a violent blond girl in a highbrow way, I highly recommend "Hannah." It's a great film, and has Cate Blanchett going full-villain

It's nice to hear characters in a Marvel film talk like normal people instead of skirting around swears and being bastions of morality. Oh, and it's lots of fun, too.
