World War Z

via uncrate.com

As an adaptation of Max Brooks' oral history of the zombie apocalypse, World War Z ($18) may leave something to be desired — but as a star-studded globe-spanning monster epic, it has enough thrills, incredible set pieces, and Hollywood scares to keep you engaged until the last bite. For those unfamiliar with the source material (from which the film differs substantially) or the movie itself, it chronicles the efforts of one UN investigator (Brad Pitt) to find the source of, and cure for, an undead outbreak of global proportions. This unrated blu-ray, DVD, and digital copy edition will give you plenty of opportunities to re-watch, pick apart, or just stare anxiously from the edge of your couch, and the extra seven minutes give you a bonus you never found in theaters.

Breaking Bad: The Complete Series

via uncrate.com

Breaking Bad might be nearing its epic end, but this unparalleled series plans to live on way past the finale. The Breaking Bad Complete Series Set ($201) is housed inside a replica black barrel, just like the ones Mr. White prefers to stash and bury his millions in. The bounty includes all 62 episodes and over 55 hours of bonus features, spreading across all five seasons, an all new two hour documentary, a booklet with a letter from Vince Gilligan, and even a Los Pollos Hermanos apron that would make Gustavo Fring proud. A must have for any Breaking Bad junkie, that promises to disappear faster than a corpse in a bath tub full of hydrofluoric acid.

Knuckleball

via uncrate.com

The knuckleball is as famous a pitch as it is notorious — notoriously hard for pitchers to throw, catchers to catch, batters to hit, and umpires to judge. It's a pitch that only a small, elite group of pitchers have mastered, and one that defined their careers. Knuckleball ($11) follows two pitchers through the 2011 season, R.A. Dickey of the New York Mets, and Tim Wakefield of the Boston Red Sox, detailing their bond formed over the knuckler. It also draws parallels to the careers of the only other five living knuckleballers, while examining the history of that slow, unpredictable pitch.
