Great movies at good prices
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy shopping at Best Buy they have some really good deals but you need to train your employees better because I have been told I would be able to do a few things in the store and then have made special trips to the store in order to get those things done and I get told by another employee that I can't do what I needed in the store!

The crow has never Looked This Good !! Great!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This really made the movie Seem like a new Movie on its own.. and i Have seen this movie So many times.. They Did a great job on it VIDEO: The Crow wings its way onto Blu-ray with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.84:1. This is a surprisingly sharp and lustrously dark (in a good way) looking high definition presentation, especially considering the fact that Proyas filmed The Crow on a less than blockbuster budget, to say the least. As fans of the film know, almost the entirety of the movie plays out at night, in darkened rooms and in shadowy outdoor locales, and despite that fact, shadow detail is phenomenal with virtually no sign of crush, despite the predominance of black on black textures throughout. Fine detail is excellent, especially in close-ups, and the overall image boasts impressive sharpness and clarity. Some of the film is still somewhat lurid in terms of color, and that proclivity is only increased by the saturation of this Blu-ray, so sequences featuring blood and gore simply look more abundantly bloody and gory. Noise is a non-issue, another impressive achievement considering the long nighttime sequences streaked with rain. Grain is still intact and while it may be troublesome in some of the optical shots, it's never overwhelming to the point where it devolves into noise. Black levels are sumptuous and superbly gradated and contrast is strong within the confines of this almost exclusively dark film. Audio: The Crow's lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix is also surprisingly effective for such a relatively modestly budgeted affair. Part of the immersive capabilities of the mix is due no doubt to the excellent use of source cues which Proyas utilized to provide underscore, but there are a number of standout sequences alive with excellent and frequently impressively directional sound effects. The crow itself (as in the bird, not the character) is provided with some great foley effects, including everything from its pecking beak to its flapping wings. And of course the action sequences are filled with great crashes, smashes and other effects, including some great LFE, that bring the sonic enjoyment level up immeasurably. Dialogue is clear and well presented and the overall mix boasts superior fidelity and some awesome dynamic range.

Fantastic is an understatement
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For those of you don't know this movie is Brandon Lee's last. Tragically, he died during the last days of filming. This film would have catapulted Brandon Lee into major-stardom. Knowing this only makes the movie darker, sadder, and more heart-wrenching. Based on the comic book series of the same name by James O'Barr, the movie stays close to its comic book roots. Dark imagery, up-close shots, and stark contrasts add to the comic book feel and gothic look of the movie. The music in the film, both soundtrack and songs, convey thoughts and imagery. The Crow is a story of love and revenge, loss and retribution. It is a portrait of the struggle between the pain of seeing the past, and the peace of gaining closure. Director Alex Proyas did a wonderful job of capturing this struggle on film. While the bulk of the supporting cast is at the very least believable, Michael Wincott is disturbingly creepy as the main antagonist "Top Dollar." Ernie Hudson, here playing a cop who thinks he's seeing a ghost, delivers an even performance. But the movie is ALL Brandon Lee. He brought his martial arts background and talent to this film and gave 200%. He was also the movie's fight choreographer. This means: sit up and watch! This movie is 80% action, 5% comedy, and 15% heart-wrenching, tear-jerking tragedy. Be prepared to sit on the edge of your seat, and use up a box of kleenex.

Quintessnetial early to mid 90's film
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is really one of those films that really matches the time period it was made. With that said, the film isn't outdated and hasn't aged poorly; but the film is simply a time capsule of the early to mid 90's. The biggest example of this is with the soundtrack, which is filled with your quintessential 90's rock music. I think the two biggest strengths of the film are the visual style and Brandon Lee's performance as the lead. The visual style really helped emphasize the world the story takes place in is unforgiving, harsh, unsympathetic, dark, and filled with struggle. The film has a dark look that is created by the night setting, dark colored costumes, lack of lighting in scenes, etc. As for Lee's performance, it was very captivating. This is one of those films you need a lead that can really carry the film or the film will fail. You fill his character's pain, anguish, hate, revenge, and retribution due to the great performance. If I were to give some negatives, it would be that the dialogue in the screenplay isn't very good at times, specifically the lines by the villains, and some of the characters are one-dimensional, specifically the villains. Even with the two negatives I mentioned, I still highly recommend this film. The plot is pretty simple, but don't let that fool you into thinking this is an average film.

5.0 out of 5 starsBest I've ever seen it!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Crow (1994) is a beautifully-crafted neo-noir film that is held dearly to many people's hearts, due to the tragic death of its star, Brandon Lee. Putting the tragedy aside for a moment, this film has its own nostalgia, as it was sort of trailblazing for the subsequent increase in this type of modern day neo-noir style. I consider this film to be a classic, and not just a cult film. Lee's performance was spectacular, and really complements the film's premise of revenge in a dark world. There's action aplenty, and the sets are very realistic and inviting. This blu ray release is essential, because the sound and picture quality are pristine. Some movies are meant for blu ray, and this is one of them. There are quite a few special features that make this purchase that much more interesting: audio commentary, behind the scenes, extended scenes, deleted footage, poster, storyboards, and theatrical trailer. Don't miss The Crow on blu ray; it's one of the best blu ray releases ever!
