As someone who rarely gives inspirational films a secondthought, I was very impressed with The Rookie. I hadn’t seen it before thereview copy came in. Being a Disney Blu-ray, I expected a high qualitytransfer, but I’m pleased to say that I not only got that, but a fine movie anda fair set of extras too, making this a Blu-ray you should look out for.
Oh, boy. I think that Johnny Cash is going to do a complete 360 in his grave. Rightfully so.
Generally, Kevin Smith films are childish, funny and nothing more than that. So why the big issue with this one? Oh, right... we can start with Buddy Jesus and go from there.
Walden Media seems to satisfying all needs these days. The Chronicles of Narnia series really has hit home for children and adult alike. Their latest venture in the past year was The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep and it will certainly tide you over until the next Narnia chapter comes out.
I have to admit, I wasn't a fan of this movie when it came out in theaters. Not a fan at all. There were so many elements about Gattaca that always drove me nuts. I felt like it had gotten too artsy for its own good. Something that always annoyed me about movies during the late 90's (sorry Matrix, you still drive me nuts). What it really came down to was that I didn't truly get the film due to my...[Read More]
Denzel Washington is one of the most compelling actors intheatres today, and a look at this filmography reveals how many hit films he’sbeen in. One such film about a struggling football team that has a breakoutseason is Remember The Titans, from the early 1990s. Buena Vista and Disney recentlyreleased this title on Blu-ray, and I was pleased to get it in for review...
Arthur Penn and Warren Beatty got together to bring one of movie history's greatest films to life, and just think... it almost didn't make it. Bonnie and Clyde is the story of two young lovers who are constantly on the run. They have a small gaggle of a gang who believe in robbing banks and enjoying every bit of life that they can. Oh, yeah... they enjoy killing a lot of people as well.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I received The Invisible in for review. Turns out, it's a thriller meant for a teenage audience, but it has a rather original story that made it interesting. You probably haven't heard of the stars of the film, I sure hadn't, but Justin Chatwin and Margarita Levieva did a fine job portraying their respective characters. Justin plays Nick Powell, a good kid with a...[Read More]
Oh, how I'm probably going to get killed for this review. Is that the best way to start it out? Interested? Keep reading.
Meet The Robinsons was one of the most well received animated films of 2007. We all knew it would look great on Blu-ray, but how good is the movie? Is it one of this kids movies that the older crowd can't stand?...
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.
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.
