This recent chapter in the X men saga is one of the most interesting of them all. The whole idea of time travel is of course intriguing and they pull this off quite well!

 Castle: The Complete Sixth Season [5 Discs]
Castle: The Complete Sixth Season [5 Discs]
The sixth season of this crime drama opens with Beckett (Stana Katic) accepting a marriage proposal from Castle (Nathan Fillion). However, their road to the altar gets a little bumpy when Beckett also accepts a new high-profile job in Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, things don't go smoothly for Castle and Alexis (Molly Quinn) when he doesn't approve of the new boyfriend she's brought home from Costa Rica. Castle gets a glimpse at what parenthood would be like a second time when he and Beckett temporarily care for a baby who was carried into a church by a man dying from gunshot wounds. And Ryan (Seamus Dever) and his wife excitedly prepare for their first child, but she goes into labor while Ryan is investigating a dangerous arson case.
 
Love Castle!

What's great about it: Easy to apply.
What's not so great: Be careful, whatever you're putting it on HAS to be clean and dry.
I put this on my DSLR touch screen to keep it from getting scuffed up. It's easy to apply but DO be sure and follow the directions closely.

Sony - BDPS6500 – Streaming 4K Upscaling 3D Wi-Fi Built-In Blu-ray Player - Black
This Sony BDPS6500 Blu-ray player features built-in Wi-Fi. To build a complete 3D home theater system, we recommend you purchase a 3D TV, 3D glasses designed for the TV, high-speed HDMI cable and an A/V receiver that is compatible with 3D products.
 

Can I hook up up my speakers to make it surround sound

Sure, you'll need an A/V receiver from Sony, Denon, Samsung and many others. Its a piece of cake to have your own home theater. Do the research and spend the money, you'll be quite happy.
