Homeland: The Complete Fourth Season
While Homeland Season four is a nice reinvention of the series, and in my opinion the strongest of the seasons, unfortunately, it’s Blu-ray release just doesn’t do it justice. Hopefully Season 5’s home entertainment release will make-up for it in 2016.

Supernatural Season Ten
Now entering it’s 11th season, Supernatural, by this time, is critic proof. Saying that, I really still enjoyed Season 10 of the show, and it’s presentation on Blu-ray Combo Pack is top notch. Supernatural still probably has another 2-3 years before it has stayed out it’s welcome.

The Originals: The Complete Second Season
The Originals Season 2 Blu-ray set is a great presentation of one of prime times great tv shows. Season two quickly expands on the mythology laid out by the first season and raises the stakes. It is a must for any Originals, Vampire Diaries fan, and, it's even great for the casual viewer.

Justice League: Gods and Monsters
Imagine if you will, a world where there is a Superman, but no Clark Kent, a Batman, but no Bruce Wayne, A Wonder Woman, but no Princess Diana. These are some of the changes this Elseworlds (i.e. Alternate Universe) tale has in store for the viewer.

Run All Night
While Run All Night is not in the same league as some of Liam Neeson’s other action films (Taken, Non-Stop), it is a very gripping and engaging story.

Jupiter Ascending
While Jupiter Ascending shows small moments of brilliance throughout its 125 minute run-time, it isn’t enough to pull this mess out of the black hole of bad science fiction space opera films that should never had been made.

The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death
.While the original Woman in Black was a genuinely creepy ghost story that had a defined beginning, middle, and end, The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death seemed like a quick money grab by the studios that ultimately failed.

Dumb And Dumber To
While Dumb and Dumber has a very large, built in audience that loves this lowbrow kind of humor, I just can’t see the point.

Archer: The Complete Season Five
  Even though most of the episodes this season are easily forgettable the addition of such guest voices as Kenny Loggins and Christian Slater are nice breaks from what seems to be one of the worst season of Archer made to date.
