This is an epic amount of films that have some really amazing actors and actresses in them. Take a look at just some of the names included in this 4 disc DVD set.  Renée Zellweger (Judy), Morgan Freeman (Shawshank Redemption), Chris Rock, Liv Tyler, Matt Dillon (The Outsiders), Paul Reiser (Mad about you), Robert Redford (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid), Brad Pitt (Once upon a time in Hollywood), Catherine McCormack (Braveheart), Kevin Kline (A Fish Called Wanda), Paul Rudd (Ant Man), Rachel Weisz (The Mummy), Sean Penn (Mystic River), Benicio del Toro (The Wolfman), Naomi Watts (King Kong), Tina Fey (30 Rock), Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation), Sigourney Weaver (Alien), Russell Crowe (Gladiator), Rachel McAdams (The Notebook), Ben Affleck (Justice League), Neal McDonough (Captain America The First Avenger) and Jared Padalecki (Supernatural), just to name some of them.

Ten films are spread across 4 DVD, meaning that two discs have two films while the other two discs house three films. Now two movies on one disc leave plenty of room for the quality not to suffer, but even three movies are still not too bad. The quality of these transfers seem to be pretty good, there is no real overtly bad compression artifacts. So that is a good thing. Plus there is English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing, always a nice bonus.

Now it is good to note that these films range between PG-13 and R rated. So there is a lot of adult language, adult situation and violence. So this collection is not for the family not at all this set is simply for the adults. 

So if you are a fan of films from the 2000s this new Mill Creek Entertainment DVD set is going to be right up your ally. There is a lot of bang for you buck. Almost 18 hours of entertainment that's a win any way your slice it! If you want a copy for yourself head over to
