Before Christopher Nolan made the Dark Knight rise, before Sam Raimi made Peter Parker emo, before Bryan Singer foiled Superman's return, there was "Dick Tracy". Does Warren Beatty's triple-threat feature (he directed, produced and starred) bring the comic-strip detective to the screen with a sunshine-yellow pleasantness that matches our hero's coat, or is it a more gloomy affair? Let's find out!

Trust is a hard thing to come by when you're an assassin for a privately-owned company hired by the government. Friends and relationships are shrouded with secrecy and a chronic fear of betrayal. For Mallory Kane (Gina Carano), trust and betrayal go hand-in-hand in her line of work. After calling it quits in Barcelona, the company she works for and the man she left feels differently about her departure. Will those closest to her let money and corruption influence the outcome? You'll have to tune in to find out!

Hands down the most beautiful artistic film I have ever seen in my life…possibly one of the oddest, but absolutely uncontested visually.

Sometimes a crow brings back the dead, so they can seek revenge. Sometimes that crow brings back the dead, so they can seek revenge in HD, and it can be a beautiful thing.

When X-Men: First Class was first announced a couple of years back I was concerned. X3 and Wolverine hadn't turned out too well, so expecting greatness out of X-Men: First Class wasn't quite in the cards fromt he beginning. What I learned: Reviewers can be very wrong.

Now I've seen a lot of action films in my time, but one as iconic as Top Gun is far more memorable than most. It would be foolish for me to say there haven't been better actions films since Top Gun, but few are truly comparable. You'd be hard-pressed to find a fan that hasn't compared themselves to the call signs of Maverick, Goose, or the infamous Iceman!

Nicholas Cage and Ron Perlman are comrades of the Crusades in Season of the Witch, available now on Blu-ray from Fox. This action-fantasy-horror film tasks Behman (Cage) and Felson (Perlman) with transporting a purported witch to a monastery to end the infamous Black Plague. Things are rarely what they seem though, as Behman, Felson, and their fellow travelers discover.

Dong-gun Jang, Kate Bosworth, Danny Huston, and Tony Cox have the lead roles in The Warrior's Way, a highly stylized action flick directed by Sngmoo Lee. Combining swordplay and the American west, I was worried this movie might disappoint like Sukiyaki Western Django from 2007. Fortunately, it's a much better movie, and is available now on Blu-ray from Fox.

There is nothing like a small-time comedy with some big ambition. It is even better when it all comes together and works.

That's right, Ice Man. I'm dangerous.

Future Britain seems to be a grim one in this deranged tale of hoodlums and over-sexualized society, making its way downward the spiral of humanity. Spawned directly from the 70’s era, Stanley Kubrick’s, ‘A Clockwork Orange,’ is a masterpiece; displaying a rebellious young society keen on protecting the innocent while reaping havoc among the rich and wealthy alike. Hooligan Alex is the leader of a small bunch of goons, consumed with self-gratification. Neither their peers nor society can persuade them to reform. Instead, they parade around town, doing anything they see fit – which is predominately at the expense of others. Singing and dancing like children, they let nothing get in their way; ready to impose the next dose of violence among the rich and prosperous. That is of course, until one of them gets caught… Abandoned by his crew, Alex is put through the system to be reconditioned. Utilizing experimental procedures, he is exposed to Pavlovian-style treatments, which initially appear to be a success. Yet, we soon discover the horrific side-effects posed upon the conditional psychiatric procedure.

Suspense, sexuality, and yes... some dancing. This release from 20th Century Fox's independent branch Fox Searchlight is the Blu-Ray + Digital Copy of the Academy Award winning tour de force directed by Darren Aronofsky and stars Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, and Vincent Cassel. And despite the rather linear scope of the story, the overall experience is one of great emotion and horror.

Get off the tracks! This Blu-Ray + Digital Copy pack by 20th Century Fox is a story based on true events about a speeding, runaway train that has a destiny with disaster starring Denzel Washington, Chris Pine, and Rosario Dawson, directed by Tony Scott. And on the surface this may seem a bit linear, the direction and editing allows the performances to really capture you and straps you into this whirlwind of a movie.
