Blade Runner: The Final Cut Two-Disc Special Edition
A misunderstood film. That's what you can say about Blade Runner. Now why do I say this? First and foremost, when the movie was released people assumed that it was an action film. Considering that Ford was just coming off of the Star Wars success and that he was already popular through Indiana Jones he had been pinned as some involved in a bit of action, not drama. So when movie goers went to see ...[Read More]
Hairspray – Blu-ray
When John Waters first brought this movie to the silver screen, it was groundbreaking at the time. When it came back to the silver screen in 2007, one had to wonder... why? The first movie was quite good and more than enough. The acting from Ricki Lake and Divine, were more than enough to say the film was unique. So what's the need for re-doing it? Let's see if we can answer that.
NHL 2K8
It has been six months since the last time this editor has reviewed a title, please forgive me if I’m a bit rusty.
The Bee Movie Game
Movie licensed games. Need I say more?
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
I don’t pride myself in being overly critical of gaming companies. I also understand the purpose of a movie license and how far that actually goes when it’s translated to a game. But, with that said, it truly is unacceptable to see a perfectly good opportunity go to waste.That’s Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in a nutshell.
Transformers: The Movie
I had so much hope for this film. I really did. It had been long overdue to be made into a live-action film. The 1986 movie (which was animated) really did the series justice and even brought about new tales in the different renditions of the overall storyline. When there was a gigantic truck at Comicon a few years back with the movie release date, I was giddy. When Steven Spielberg’s name came u...[Read More]
The Jungle Book: Two-Disc Special Edition
What happens when a child is left in a jungle? Well only the most obvious thing! Animals raise him, accept him and then try to get rid of him.
Ratatouille
Why in the world did people not like this film? After watching it nearly six times, I have come to realize that the one true answer to the above question is quite simply… it’s not childish as the others.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The fifth movie from the fifth book of Harry Potter may be the best one yet. Let me explain further.
Family Guy Volume Five
I never knew that such a show could survive so long. On and off from the beginning of the show itself, Family seemed to get more and more offensive as the seasons grew on. In volume five of Family Guy, you get even more crude humor and, for the most part, it’s very welcomed.
Underdog
I just couldn't really understand why Disney would want to take a perfectly good cartoon and ruin it. And ruin it in High-Def no doubt. But you know what happened after viewing this film on Blu-ray? I realized that "Underdog" is actually quite good. Not Academy Award good, but good on a family level.
The Simpsons
So many years, so much material, so many characters... so how did it do? D'OH! The Simpsons Movie! When Springfield needs an overhaul due to major pollution, the government steps in to help. The mayor builds a giant concrete wall around the main water supply, which is being polluted, to help keep the pollutants out. When Homer saves a pig from a terrible fate at the hands of Krusty, he soon finds ...[Read More]
