When we get in kid movies I usually use the same three reviewers to help me out; Natalie, Sara and Mallory. Unlike many reviewers out there, I believe that if you've got amovie geared towards kids you really need to find out how much kids love it. For example, Coraline was a HUGE hit in the household. That Blu-ray was worn down to the point where it didn't want to play anymore. I'm talking about n...[Read More]

Back in the 80s, the movie industry fell in love with baseball. From Eight Men Out to Bull Durham to Field of Dreams, baseball had not been this dramatized since Pete Rose was caught betting on the game. In 1984, Barry Levinson might have made the definitive baseball film with The Natural.

There are few fanbases more delicate to talk about than Lord of the Rings folks. I once knew a guy who re-read all of the books each summer (that's right, every summer) and knew the entire history of Middle Earth. Star Trek fans aren't this dedicated. So when Warner Home Video announced that the trilogy was arriving on Blu-ray, I prayed hard and long that they could satisfy that fanbase. Let's fin...[Read More]

Acclaimed film director John Woo has had heck of a resume. His career as a director started in the late 60s and continues strongly today. His most recent project just hit DVD and Blu-ray last month. Easily his most epic work -- and perhaps China's most epic film ever -- Red Cliff is an amazing movie about the events that took place in China is 208AD. If you're into war films or Asian cinema, you c...[Read More]

For the last year or so it has seemed as if Robert Downey Jr. could do no wrong. Coming out of the gates with Iron Man, which revived his career, his recent roles seem like an odd fit from afar. More recently, he starred in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, which some critics scoffed at when it was first announced. The questions is, dear readers, did he pull it off? It takes a lot of guff to play the...[Read More]

When it comes to the human journey there is no other director/writer that catches the essence quite so perfectly as Wes Anderson. Anderson pondered childhood through Rushmore, adulthood in The Royal Tenenbaums and now he captures..... foxhood?

Its not often a sequel comes out to equal its predecessor, but this one takes the cake!  Four years after the first adventure, Toy Story is back for a second round and going to infinity and beyond!

It may have been the first Disney/Pixar film, but its still one of the best! The combination of the two companies (Disney & Pixar) was genius. Back in 1995 Pixar a company that already had a handle on computer animation, teamed up with the wonderful world of Disney and changed animation forever. Together they created the first full feature length film, Toy Story. It was fabulous then and its even ...[Read More]

When the world gets you down it can keep you down. The question is, what does it take to smile again?

The Princess and The Frog, in my book, gracefully takes its place among the classic Disney fairytales. It truly is among the best Ive ever seen. I absolutely could not be more pleased with this animation. It is positively charming. I continue to fall more in love with it every time I watched it.

AMC's original hit series, Breaking Bad, is about to start it's third season. To help launch the event, the DVD and Blu-ray release of season two is out tomorrow. Easily one of the most intense and dramatic shows I've seen, Breaking Bad's second season plays out a bit like The Empire Strikes Back. We're familiar with the cast, the main point of the story, and things generally went well in the firs...[Read More]
