Now that we have reviewed each individual movie in the Planet of the Apes Blu-ray set, it is time to review the boxed contents themselves.
We’ve already reviewed the disc, but what about The African Queen’s Commemorative Box Set Paramount released?
Did anyone involved in the production Wizard of Oz have any idea what they were creating?
Ocean’s Eleven works due a stunning ensemble cast, all playing complete, believable characters trying to rob three Las Vegas casinos. More importantly, the cast is able to work together brilliantly, using small eye movements and head motions to convey their thoughts about the people they’re working with.

Regardless [...]
