It's a bird! It's a plane! -- nope. It's Superman, and he's back on DVD for a much anticipated release. In 1988, DC teamed up with Ruby Spears Productions to create a Superman cartoon to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their flagship superhero. It only ran for one season on Saturday mornings, but it garnered quite a fan base over the years who have been eagerly anticipating the DVD release. Now,...[Read More]

A few months back, I got to review the first volume of Cartoon Networks' Batman: The Brave And the Bold. The show and animation are great, but I thought the release was a missed opportunity in that it only offers four episodes, and no extras. Well, the same format was taken for Volume 2, and once again, while the show and animation are great, you're only getting 88 minutes of content here. Let's t...[Read More]

The Golden Age of comics spawned a lot of great characters and stories, but few quite like Plastic Man from the DC Universe. Stories based from the comics were turned into a Saturday morning cartoon that ABC ran in 1979. I was too young to enjoy the show back then, but Warner Home Video has recently released a four disc set containing all thirty-five episodes of the Comedy/Adventure Show. Purists ...[Read More]

Mickey Mouse and all his friends together for a splendid Christmas celebration! Does it get any better?

Good Grief! It's Classic! When is ol Chuck ever going to realize Lucy is never going to let him kick that ball! Poor Chuck...

Fan of classic Saturday morning cartoons? Who isn't, right? They're not all gems, but there's no doubt that many of us have lots of fond memories of the classics from the 60s and 70s (and 80s and 90s for that matter). Warner Home Video has been tending to ardent fans of these cartoons with two disc DVD releases. Last week, I took a look at the new 60s Collection, and today, I've got the 70s editio...[Read More]

Warner Brothers Home Video is back with the second volume of Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960s. This second volume brings another two discs and 300 minutes of classic cartoons to DVD. Let's take a closer look at this collection that is more so aimed towards the avid cartoon fan and collector than your kids, although there is something for everyone to enjoy...

There's something about black and white movies, especially horror films, that just make me giddy. Having never grown up with them (as I'm not that old despite what Schardein says) it's certainly a new experience through and through. When Sony Pictures announced the release of The William Castle Film Collection I really thought this would be a fun and interesting set to review. And guess what? I fo...[Read More]

I love period pieces. I've always had a fondness towards them as other times seem to be more eloquent and sophisticated then our own right now. When the opportunity to review Chéri came about, a victorian piece starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Rupert Friend, I jumped at the chance.

Just in time for Halloween.

Transform, roll out! The Decpticons quest for energy continues. Wow, what can I say about the Transformers? So forgive me if this review sounds a bit short and fragmented as something as epic as the original series is hard to talk about. The Transformers seem to be everywhere these days from Michael Bay's rape of what the transformers are supposed to be, prequels and even the newest cartoon rendi...[Read More]

As I roll my eyes with the imminent release of SAW 6, Warner Home video has just released a four pack of classic horror films. I hadn't seen any of these oldies before the Karloff & Lugosi: Horror Classics two disc DVD set came my way. These are at least worth a watch if not a spot in your collection, but horror film aficionados will definitely appreciate the release of Michael Curtiz's "The Walki...[Read More]
