THE X-FILES FINALLY on Blu-ray disc!!!
on July 17, 2016
Posted by: RaynMan2142
Verified Purchase:Yes
The sixth season of the science fiction television series The X-Files commenced airing on the Fox network in the United States on November 8, 1998, concluding on the same channel on May 16, 1999, and consisted of twenty-two episodes. The season continued on from the 1998 feature film and focused heavily on FBI federal agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully's (Gillian Anderson) separation from the X-Files Division and the demise of the Syndicate—a "shadow government" group attempting to cover up the existence of extraterrestrials—in the two part episode "Two Fathers" and "One Son".
The season was the first to be filmed in Los Angeles, after production was moved from Vancouver, Canada. This move was done largely on the behest of Duchovny, who wished to be closer to his wife, Téa Leoni. Series creator Chris Carter opposed the move, although series director Kim Manners and Anderson approved of it, although to a less-vocal degree than Duchovny. The first half of the season also saw Mimi Rogers and Chris Owens' characters—Diana Fowley and Jeffrey Spender, respectively—become recurring characters.
Despite debuting with high viewing figures and ranking as the twelfth most watched television series during the 1998–99 television year, the season saw a slight decrease in ratings from the previous one, a trend that would continue until its final year. The season received mixed to positive reviews from television critics; some critics and fans were alienated by the show, due to the different tone taken by most stand-alone episodes after the move to Los Angeles. Rather than adhering to the previous style of "monsters of the week", they were often romantic, humorous, or a combination of both.

![The Da Vinci Code/Angels & Demons [Blu-ray] [2 Discs]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6bfa426d-7838-4ea6-9d1d-dae33da44abe.jpg)
This dual pack features the smash hits The Davinci Code and its sequel Angels & Demons. Both films are adapted from author Dan Brown's controversial best-selling novels about a powerful secret that's been kept under wraps for thousands of years. Both films are directed by Ron Howard and star Tom Hanks as Professor Robert Langdon, the most respected symbologist in the United States, who uses his knowledge to piece together clues that put him on the trail of an international conspiracy involving the Catholic Church.

Decent Double Feature.
on July 17, 2016
Posted by: RaynMan2142
Verified Purchase:Yes
Double Pack of the Dan Brown adaptations of these two features. Sold this and bought the movies separately since I'd rather have the bonus feature discs. Also contains a Digital HD Ultraviolet code for both titles, which I sold since I'd rather have Blu-ray discs compared to digital.
ONLY recommended for those interested in the feature films!

Military Courtroom Drama.
on July 17, 2016
Posted by: RaynMan2142
Verified Purchase:Yes
SYNOPSIS: Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) is a military lawyer defending two U.S. Marines charged with killing a fellow Marine at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. Although Kaffee is known for seeking plea bargains, a fellow lawyer, Lt. Cdr. JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore), convinces him that the accused marines were most likely carrying out an order from a commanding officer. Kaffee takes a risk by calling Col. Nathan R. Jessep (Jack Nicholson) to the stand in an effort to uncover the conspiracy.
Used to own this on VHS and DVD. Very early title in the format and the transfer is a bit dated. Still holds up after having not watched it for awhile. Great performances from the cast.

Verified Purchase:Yes
SYNOPSIS: While out hunting, Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) finds the grisly aftermath of a drug deal. Though he knows better, he cannot resist the cash left behind and takes it with him. The hunter becomes the hunted when a merciless killer named Chigurh (Javier Bardem) picks up his trail. Also looking for Moss is Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), an aging lawman who reflects on a changing world and a dark secret of his own, as he tries to find and protect Moss.
Once again great feature and first watched this title borrowed from a friend. Worthy entry for my ever growing Blu-ray collection. Be sure NOT to give away ANY spoilers!

Worthwhile Kevin Smith Feature Film Debut.
on July 17, 2016
Posted by: RaynMan2142
Verified Purchase:Yes
SYNPOSIS: Dante (Brian O'Halloran) is called in to cover a shift at his New Jersey convenience store on his day off. His friend Randal (Jeff Anderson) helps him pass the time, neglecting his video-store customers next door to hang out in the Quick Stop. The uneventful day is disrupted by news that one of Dante's ex-girlfriends has died. After attending her memorial service, Dante muses over staying with current girlfriend Veronica (Marilyn Ghigliotti) or reuniting with ex Caitlin (Lisa Spoonhauer).
Again usedto own this on VHS and DVD. Still have yet to watch Clerks II as of this writing. Part of the View Askewniverse.

SYNOPSIS: Tre (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is sent to live with his father, Furious Styles (Larry Fishburne), in tough South Central Los Angeles. Although his hard-nosed father instills proper values and respect in him, and his devout girlfriend Brandi (Nia Long) teaches him about faith, Tre's friends Doughboy (Ice Cube) and Ricky (Morris Chestnut) don't have the same kind of support and are drawn into the neighborhood's booming drug and gang culture, with increasingly tragic results.
Very strong performances from the cast. Used to own this great film on VHS and DVD. Spent far less on this Blu-ray compared to what I did for the previous formats I bought it on! Be sure to check out the rest of John Singleton's filmography.

SYNOPSIS: Two years before the Civil War, Django (Jamie Foxx), a slave, finds himself accompanying an unorthodox German bounty hunter named Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) on a mission to capture the vicious Brittle brothers. Their mission successful, Schultz frees Django, and together they hunt the South's most-wanted criminals. Their travels take them to the infamous plantation of shady Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), where Django's long-lost wife (Kerry Washington) is still a slave.
Excellent film, very worthwhile entry in Tarantino's director filmography, it even has a Bonus DVD, and the price was great! Great as a double feature with The Hateful 8/Eight.

Bought for low price two. Complete Cut soon?
on July 17, 2016
Posted by: RaynMan2142
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Bride (Uma Thurman) picks up where she left off in volume one with her quest to finish the hit list she has composed of all of the people who have wronged her, including ex-boyfriend Bill (David Carradine), who tried to have her killed four years ago during her wedding to another man. Leaving several dead in her wake, she eventually tracks down Bill in Mexico. Using skills she has learned during her assassin career, she attempts to finish what she set out to do in the first place.
Same as Volume 1. Unsure if the Complete Cut will be released soon or was just a marketing strategy. Worth it for owning both Vol. 1 & 2 together.

Fueled by an insatiable desire for revenge, she vows to get even with every person who contributed to the loss of her unborn child, her entire wedding party, and four years of her life.
