I watched (okay, watch) a lot of cartoons, and one of my favorites would have to be the X-Men series from the 90s. In the last several months, four volumes of X-Men have released to the open arms of thousands of fans. Just yesterday, the fifth and final volume was released and it features fourteen episodes -- all of those from the final season and one episode that aired during season five, but chr...[Read More]

The Iron Man franchise is thriving, decades after it was first introduced. Certainly the popular Hollywood film from 2008 had much to do with this, with the sequel now only days from release. Nicktoons' Iron Man: Armored Adventures is running strong, but did you know that there was an Iron Man cartoon in 1994? That entire twenty-six episode series is now available on DVD for cartoon and Iron Man f...[Read More]

Basil save the queen!! Great little Sherlock Holmes like adventure!

Is it fair to say that Stargate has become as big as Star Trek? Well, if you're looking solely at the number of TV series' and raw number of shows, then it's getting there. With the launch of Stargate: Universe last year, the Stargate franchise continues to expand and reach new audiences.

Yo Joe! Shout! Factory is back with another GI Joe The Animated Series DVD release, and this time it's the complete Season 2. The first season of GI Joe is a tough act to follow, but Season 2 introduces plenty of new characters and adventures for the Joes, not the least of which is the mini-series that brought Serpentor into the fold.

The BBC does some pretty damn good work. They've produced the likes of Dr. Who, Monty Python and a 80s series of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. When the BBC produced a show called The Prisoner it seemed like an oddball concept. It turned out to be one of the most epic and memorable shows the studio ever created. Fast-forward 43 years and AMC decides to recreate an already well-known masterp...[Read More]

Miyazaki makes some really magical movies. Kiki's Delivery Service and My Neighbor Totoro were subtle films that captured some spectacular imaginary characters and very human moments. Castle in the Sky is a different formula, though.

Disney and Studio Ghibli brought together some great stories from Japan. One of the more popular stories was about a witch named Kiki in Kiki's Delivery Service.

Childhood was never so much fun on DVD.

The history of the Warner Brothers is both interesting, reliant and tragic. Cass Warner, granddaughter of Harry Warner, put together a definitive documentary on the birth of the brothers, the birth of an empire and the tragic tales that go with it.

The Damned United looks at British footballer Brian Clough’s 44 days as manager of the Leeds United football club.  So, yes, it’s about soccer, that sport the rest of the world is obsessed with (particularly in this, a World Cup year).  But, this is a soccer movie with very little actual soccer in it.  It’s much more about a proud, arrogant man who provides his own undoing.

Heads up, MST3K fans: Volume XVII is already here!
