I recommend Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them(2016)

I got it from Granger Games for £10.

Just as good if not better than some of the Harry Potter films with mostly convincing CGI and a good performance from Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander.

Extras :

Making of featurettes
Before Harry Potter Documentary
Deleted scenes
+ digital download with ultraviolet

Highly recommend Underworld: Rise of The Lycans on Blu Ray, the film looks stunning on Blu Ray a fantastic transfer along with the sound transfer too. There's a couple of extras but what like is the film is a prequel to the other films which helps flesh out the story. Not bad only paid £1.50 for it.

A good shout for Doctor Who fans,The Power of the Daleks(1966)

I bought it via a private sale for £10.

An animated reconstruction of the lost generation story from 1966.With a great script from David Whitaker that asks all kinds of important questions and the strangely, immobile animation adds to the twisty tale itself.

Extras :

Audio commentaries
Making of documentary
Original footage

Highly recommend picking up Ant-Man, was waiting for a price drop on this one.
The picture looks crisp with the 1080p transfer, the sound quality is amazing. There's a good amount of extras but the only disappointment as always is no digital copy and managed to pick this up for £5. Waiting for my Grimm Seasom 5 blu ray steel book to turn up and in the mean time will review season 3.

Highly recommend picking up Season 3 of Grimm on Blu Ray. The Picture transfer is fantastic and crystal clear. The Sound quality is stunning you'll benefit from it if you have a home cinema system.
The Boxset comes with 5 discs with each of 22 eps, extra wishes it comes with a Blu Ray Exclusive Grimm Guide, Deleted Scenes, Gag Reel, Meltdown Digital Series and 2 Featurettes. Plus comes with a digital copy of all 22 Eps. Not bad for £5.79 great Blu Ray for a fantastic series. Will review the season 5 steel book in a few days.

Can't underscore how much I recommend King Kong(1933)

I bought it from Granger Games for £12.

For me the remastered score is even more powerful against the stunningly atmospheric black and white jungle environment,there's been better stop motion since but Kong '33 has lost none of its charm despite the amateur acting and terrible dialogue.

Extras :

Audio commentary(with the late Ray Harryhausen)
Test footage
Deleted scenes
Trailers

I Am Not A Serial Killer(2016)

Bought this from Home Bargains for £10.

A great little film based on Dan Wells' 2009 novel.A lonely,death obsessed sociopath suspects that his creepy neighbour,played brilliantly by Christopher Lloyd may be connected to a series of murders. Very gloomy and morbid but done with a refreshing sense of originality.

Extras :

Short film
Deleted scenes
Storyboards

Really highly recommend Grimm Season 5 Blu Ray steel book which looks beautiful and stunning. The title Grimm is debossed also the claw marks at the back of steel book are debossed too giving a really nice effect along with stunning inside art work, the only thing I would have added would been a gloss finish aside from that amazing steel book.
Picture quality like Season 3 Blu Ray the transfer is stunning, sound quality is equally as impressive with a home cinema system set up it's even better.
Extras wise you get a Blu Ray exclusive a Grimm Guide, deleted scenes, Gag reel, A Grimm New World, a feature on the 100th Ep and Fome Tour. Plus you a HD digital copy of all the Eps. I highly recommend picking this up its £11.99 I have a link for it in the Blu Ray release thread with a discount code.
