I highly recommend Arrow season 2 on Blu Ray, first of all this season is a massive improvement on the first season. The picture quality looks amazing its a 1080p transfer, its totally crystal clear and the colours really stand out. The sound quality is impressive as well a 5.1/DTS so everything sounds crystal clear.
As for extras theres more then a handful available on the disc, a bonus recap of year one, visual effects of arrow, the wire work, vigilante to hero, arrow 2013 comic con panel and unaired scenes. Also included is a digital hd ultra violet copy of season two, Well worth having in your collection if your a big Arrow fan.

I'm a big arrow fan and will be getting this later this week and when u do ill have an arrow marathon watching series 1 and 2 back to back. Agree it was a massive improvement on the first season which was itself very good

A quick update on the Ghostbusters 1 and 2 blu ray, on the double pack there is a difference well with the first film you get loads of extras and booklet covering both films with colour pictures. The first version of Ghostbusters didn't have any extras and second version of Ghostbusters which was a 4K transfer but still never came with any extras, so i traded in both versions which i had but am keeping the Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2 steel books wrapped up. I won't be reviewing it again but here are the new extras you get in the double pack for Ghostbuters 1:

300: Rise Of An Empire Blu Ray steelbook. very good value for money as you get a really good steelbook and inside you get 3 verisons of the film (3D Bluray, 2D Bluray and a ultraviolet HD digital copy and a good amount of extras)

I highly recommend picking up the X-men 3 steel book, all though not best X-men movie it was well worth having if your a big fan and want the complete collection. I already have this as a standard blu ray but wanted to get the steel book so i could finish up my collection of the trilogy it was too expensive before but its dropped down to just under a tenner now. I won't review the film as i already did it but what i do is review the steel book, it comes with art work on the front and back with inside art from the film. The steel book has a silver matte finish to it would have looked even better with a gloss finish but never mind, the title and wolverine claws are debossed so it really stands out. Over all a really nice look steel boo which matches the other two X-men films.

I highly recommend The Ultimate Avenger Collection steel book this comes with two movies on one blu ray disc. The art work on the steel book is beautiful its almost like looking like a comic book, you get a art of The Avengers on the front of steel book and a pic of The Hulk on the back of the steel book, you also get some really nice inside art with a matte finish on the steel book it would have loved the steel book to have a gloss finish give it that extra touch but its nice look steel book anyway.
The Transfer and sound quality on both film's are amazing a 1080p transfer for the pic and 5.1/DTS for the sound quality and is a massive step up from the dvd version of these film. As for extras theres more then a hand full for both films and no digital copy which is a shame. I managed to pick up the steel book of a good price as it can be very expensive to buy but if you can find it for it less then £15 then its well worth picking up

I gotta recommend the Edge of Tomorrow on blu ray not only a very good film and probably up there with the best of Tom Cruises films, what i enjoyed about the film is it doesn't start off as the usually action hero Tom Cruise film. It didn't do as well at the box office which i can't understand why because it was good action packed funny film in places too.
The Picture quality as always is a 1080p and it looks stunning everything looks so detailed and rich especially in the fast paced action scenes. The sound quality is stunning too you get a 5.1/DTS and its crystal clear right down to hearing things in the background and even the explosions sound meaty too you'll get the best out this film if you have a home cinema set up.
Extras wise there's good handful and usually deleted scenes plus its comes with a HD digital copy of the film well worth picking up especially at the good price of £13.

Marvel Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D the complete first season limited edition bluray digipack. get all 22 episodes of the fantastic first series spread over 5 discs and a good amount of extras including commentaries, Bloopers Of Shield (outtakes), deleted scenes, the tv special Marvel Studios: Assembling a Universe, Journey into S.D.C.C (san diego comic con), 5 behind the scenes featurettes and VFX progressions.

overall a must have for any comic book fan

the front of the limited edition Digipack


the front of the inner digipack


what the inner digipack looks like when it is fully unfurled out


the limited edition digipack is limited to 8,000 copies apparently so really happy to get one

Got a few blu ray steel books to recommend, the first one is Foxy Brown a classic movie if you can switch your brain off for a couple hours. What i like about this steel book is the art work is beautiful, it comes in white finish with a art drawing of Foxy Brown on the front cover, theres art work on the back and inside as i said with the white finish and it really helps the steel book stand out.
Picture quality wise its good nothing out standing as there are signs of grain throughout the film probably due to poor film stock at the time but pretty good for blu ray.
Sound quality wise its a 2.0 sound transfer again good sound but nothing out standing compared to a 5.1/DTS master, extras wise this is where it kills it you get tons and tons extras on the disc audio commentary, loads of interviews, trailers theres just so many here. The even get a fully colour booklet with the film which is very nice touch, i was lucky to get it for fiver down from ten pounds using a voucher well worth picking if your fn of those types or films or steel collector.
The second steel book i highly recommend is Alien, now am not a massive Alien fan but after the new game come out and as its dropped to a good price i thought it was well with worth the pick up.
The steel book comes in a black finish with a border around the disc, on the front you get art work of the Alien egg and word Alien is debossed giving it a 3D effect to the title, the back of the steel book has Ripley on the back with a Alien and you get inside art from scene from the film of crew in there pods, again a really nice looking steel book
Picture quality is a 1080p transfer and it looks stunning everything looks so detailed and colours just pop out on screen, there's no sign of grain and the film is from 1978 its a amazing transfer even if you have the dvd version well worth the upgrade.
Sound quality wise its stunning a 5.1/DTS-HD transfer and its sounds amazing you can hear the roar of the engines of the ship, the aliens in the back ground and dialogue is crisp and clear especially when you this hooked up to home cinema system and have the lights off.
You get two versions of the film the 1978 theatrical cut and the 2003 Directors cut version of the film. I managed to pick this and the blu ray steel Big for £5.92 each when bought together and using a voucher code not bad considering the Alien steel book was 15 quid at one point so i highly picking this up if you can find it cheap as its really nice looking steel book.
I have two more steel books but will review those two later on

got a steelbook to recommend myself. its the very first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film from 1990. get the film on bluray along with some extras and comes in a very nice steel book
