Bleach Uncut Set 16A mysterious man has given physical form to the Zanpakuto of all captains and lieutenants of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads. Newly liberated, the Zanpakuto wreak havoc upon the Soul Society and their former masters. Can Ichigo and the Thirteen Court Guard Squads rein them in before it's too late? More importantly, are they ready to uncover the truth, lies and deceit that await them?]]> The 16th set of Bleach comprises the first half of the "Zanpakuto Unknown Tales Arc" (episodes 230 to 265), an anime-only storyline that made up the 13th season of Tite Kubo's hit fantasy-adventure. The Zanpakuto is both the weapon of a Soul Reaper and a mirror of his personality and strength; the two seem irrevocably joined. So chaos reigns in the Seireitei when mysterious warriors appear, shattering buildings and defeating Soul Reapers who can't summon their accustomed weapons. The murderous warriors prove to be physical manifestations of the Zanpakutos, who have risen in revolt at the urging of the reptilian Maramasa. But as he discovers to his chagrin, Maramasa's control is not absolute: Ichigo wins back his Zanpakuto, Zangetsu, using the formidable strength of his Hollow alter ego. Hitsugaya draws on memories to restore ice dragon-like Hyorinmaru's loyalty, and Renji regains control of the monkey and serpent spirits of his Zanpakuto through sheer stubbornness. Perhaps the greatest threat to the warriors of the Soul Society is Rukia's brother, Captain Byakuya, who joins the revolt to prove his inflated image of himself. For all its battles, duels, and jazzy effects, the "Zanpakuto Tales" story begins rather slowly; it takes the filmmakers several episodes to find their footing. Once they do, the trademark humor of the series begins to manifest itself, and the action becomes more exciting as the viewer starts to feel involved in the struggle. The final battle of the "Zanpakuto Unknown Tales Arc" in the next set should be quite a spectacle. (Rated Teen: violence, violence against women, grotesque imagery, risq...

Prepare for more paranormal thrills, chills and excitement as Warehouse 13 returns with more action-packed mysteries than ever before! After the destruction of the Warehouse, the agents risk the use of a mythical artifact in an attempt to restore all they've lost. But the use of this dangerous artifact could change the Warehouse team and the world forever. Featuring guest appearances by Brent Spiner (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Sam Huntington (Being Human) and other sci-fi favorites, this five-disc set includes all 20 Season Four episodes plus a cache of classified bonus content including a never-before-seen chapter of the animated web series "Grand Designs." At the end of season three of Warehouse 13, the titular structure, an enormous facility in South Dakota also known as "America's attic" and "the world's junk drawer," was blown to smithereens, taking with it the mass of strange and wondrous artifacts that had been housed there. Since these objects are the SyFy series' raison d'être, something must be done to remedy this disaster--and sure enough, we're not even finished with the first of the 20 episodes included in the five-disc season-four boxed set before Special Agent in Charge Artie Nielsen (Saul Rubinek) has managed to turn back time by 24 hours and prevent the explosion. But Warehouse agents aren't supposed to use artifacts for their own ends--on the contrary, their job is to make sure they stay out of the hands of anyone who seeks to exploit them, whether by design or by accident--and the one he chooses is an astrolabe, a navigation device that once belonged to Ferdinand Magellan and now visits some very bad, season-long mojo on Artie and the others (a major reveal in the ninth episode explains but doesn't fully resolve the issue). Much of the season involves tracking down various missing artifacts, some whimsical, some unpredictable and very dangerous: the first pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses makes its wearer invisible. Explorer Richard Byrd's smoking pipe creates lightning and terrifying storms....

When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew. A good portion of Trekkies (or Trekkers, depending on one's level of Star Trek obsession) have special affection for episodes of the original TV series that related to Earth and other-Earth cultures visited by the crew of the Enterprise, version 1.0. Some of the shows unfolded in distorted forms of the past, some in the present day of Star Trek's future reality. Director J.J. Abrams recognized the importance of this relationship in his origin-story reboot of the franchise in 2009, and in Star Trek Into Darkness he has made it an even greater touchstone to the roots of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's defining philosophy from nearly 50 years ago. The human home world is key to the plot of this spectacularly bold leap into Star Trek lore, which cleverly continues along the alternate path that was established as separate from the "original" Star Trek universe in Abrams's first whiz-bang crack at advancing the mythology. But it's not just Earth that is cool and imperiled in this rendering of adventure in the 23rd century; Into Darkness also plays with the original conceit that Earthlings were member to a multi-species United Federation of Planets ruled by a "Prime Directive" of noninterference with other civilizations. The conflict comes when rogue elements in the Earth-based Starfleet Command hunger to shift focus from peaceful exploration to militarization, a concept that is anathema to the crew of the Enterprise and her ongoing mission. The new cast is again inventi...
