Aladdin
It’s difficult to find fault in any way with Aladdin and, as a fan, I say it is about time Disney released it again for everyone to enjoy.

San Andreas
The destruction of large cities and the Hoover Dam are not easy to accomplish but the crew does it well enough, and the 1080p video and 5.1 high definition audio help to enhance those scenes beautifully.
The Gallows
There is nothing redeeming about The Gallows and I question why it ever got made. I know it made a profit, which is, of course, the ultimate goal in movies; but it was unentertaining and moronic. Don’t waste your time or money.
Rocky Horror Picture Show: 40th Anniversary
If you are a fan of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and all it represents, you will want to get this Blu-ray and watch it with a group of friends, plenty of wine and props to carefully throw at your TV screen.
Entourage
Other than a thin storyline, the film really is about four friends navigating Hollywood and all it’s "trappings".
Sleepy Hollow: The Complete Second Season
I can’t help but wonder if season three will be Sleepy Hollow’s last. If they don’t change their strategy from season two, I think many, like myself, will get bored with the “demon of the week” theme and tune out.
The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Eighth Season
The Big Bang Theory has a lot of life left in it and it will be interesting to see how they manage to continue the momentum.
The Vampire Diaries Season 6
The Vampire Diaries Season 6 maybe the saddest and bloodiest one so far. From other worldly prisons, to a new witch/vampire hybrid, the supernatural dimension went into overdrive this year.
Mad Max: Fury Road
While I can’t say I was as enthralled with Mad Max: Fury Road as most people, I did enjoy finding out what all the excitement was about. I found myself in awe over some of the stunts and impressed with much of the acting.
Far From the Madding Crowd
While the story itself isn’t all that exciting, this version is well acted and directed and overall has an excellent quality that makes it worth seeing.
