The mayor builds a giant concrete wall around the main water supply, which is being polluted, to help keep the pollutants out.

Yes, there are people like this in the P.E. world. No kidding. Is this a good movie? That's a rhetorical question John Farley had a rough life. He was young and fat, as most people in high school are, and was constantly harassed. He wasn't harassed by students though, he was harassed by Mr. Woodcock, the P.E. teacher. Having been mentally scarred by his high school trauma, he finds himself growing...[Read More]

How many women have seen Clockwork Orange?The same amount that refuse to see it again.Seriously, it’s not as bad as it looksIf there were any movies out there that were extremely hard to watch, this one would be in the top three, easily. Stanley Kubrick’s horrifying tale of a young man named Alex (Malcolm McDowell), who spends his nights killing, raping and other ghastly deeds. When Alex finally g...[Read More]

Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, and William H. Macey all came together for a recent Touchstone / Disney movie called Wild Hogs. All four of these stars are very familiar, having starred in TV shows and commercials and other big screen movies, but this is the first time they put their talents together. The result? A fairly entertaining although some what generic adventure with some decen...[Read More]

I hadn’t seen The Untouchables before it came in for review on Blu-ray from Paramount. With an all star cast featuring De Niro, Connery, and Costner, I had high hopes – and they were not only met, but exceeded, both in terms of the movie itself and in its transfer to Blu-ray.

When The Lookout came across my desk for review, I honestly hadn’t heard of the movie before, so I hit up imdb.com to see what was what. To my surprise, it had accrued a rather high average score, so I had some maybe higher expectations that I normally would have. As it turns out, my expectations did exceed what the film turned out to be, but The Lookout is nonetheless an interesting movie.

Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland star as secret service agents in The Sentinel, a thriller released on Blu-ray by 20th Century Fox earlier this year. Douglas plays Pete Garrison, a veteran secret service agent who is framed for the conspiracy of assassinating the president. In a race against time, he must not only clear his own name, but he must protect the president he swore to protect.

Walt Disney Video was kind enough to send us a copy of their recently released Blu-ray title, “Roving Mars.” This disc contains footage Walt Disney obtained during the construction of the Spirt and Opportunity Mars rovers that were developed and launched a few years ago. With a running time of just under forty minutes for the main feature, I was mighty concerned that it would be far too little con...[Read More]

Horror movies centering around an ominous, over-sized beast that terrorizes humans are a tough sell. Whether it be giant spiders, snakes, or gators, I think these movies are fairly difficult to make original and engaging anymore. Enter Primeval, the newest of such films featuring a twenty-five foot man-eating crocodile. The story is loosely based on a large crocodile that has been devouring humans...[Read More]

After the success of Curse of the Black Pearl, Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Man’s Chest was almost sure to succeed. And, financially, it certainly did, garnering well over 500 million in worldwide sales. For fans of the first film though, like myself, it wasn’t necessarily so great. Dead Man’s Chest is rife with unfinished and often unnecessary subplots, but it is still an entertaining film. Wh...[Read More]

In preparation for watching the third Pirates of the Caribbean film in theaters, I was fortunate enough to have the first two films on Blu-ray for review. The first film, which seems to be everybody’s favorite, is complete with nearly thirteen hours of extras on this two disc Blu-ray release.

We’ve seen a lot of comic book movies in the last decade, most of which turned out to be pretty bad. One of the favorites out there is Hellboy, released in 2004. Hellboy is a character created by Mike Mignola from Dark Horse comics. The sequel is likely to be out in the next year, and the original Director’s Cut was just released on Blu-ray this month.
