With all the bad press that Mel Gibson is receiving, I can always count on his old movies to remind me of happier times. It was a time where he killed Jet Li underwater, a time where he fought for Scottish freedom, a time where he sang with Pocahontas, and a time that he knew what women More >

Review: The Amazing Spider-Man 3D Blu-ray
7 months ago
I was genuinely excited when I heard that the new Spider-Man movie was going to be 3D. I became even more excited about the prospect when the trailer showcased the Spider-Man POV at the end. Ultimately, I enjoyed the experience when I watched it in IMAX 3D, but how does the home video version look More >
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Blu-ray review
7 months ago
Books have been adapted to the screen many times before with examples like The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter series. Enter Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. What’s unique about this movie is that the screenplay was written by the author of the book. This would lead one to think that the movie More >

Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch Blu-ray Review
11 months ago
One of my fondest film-related memories of my childhood was the Sci-Fi classic, Gremlins. The film gave an entire generation a lovable hero that would be idolized for years to come, and the film fits perfectly with the wave of Sci-Fi films in the 80s. Produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by More >

Blu-ray review – Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

When I first heard that Brad Bird was going to be directing Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, a part of me was very excited. He directed some great animated films like The Incredibles, Ratatouille and The Iron Giant. Another part of me was skeptical. Can an animated film director cross over to More >

Immortals is heading to 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD on March 6, 2012.
Tarsem Singh is a hit-and-miss director for me. I highly enjoyed his work in The Cell with Jennifer Lopez with its highly stylized imagery and disturbing tale of a serial killer. In The Fall, the story didn’t draw me in and I was More >

Blu-ray Review: Super 8
1 year ago
As expected from a movie coming from two great movie minds, J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg, it was in good hands when those two decided to take part in it. I am a big fan of Steven Spielberg since E.T. and a fan of J.J. Abrams’ Fringe and Alias, as well as his movies Cloverfield and Star More >

The copy we had for review is the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides 2-Disc Combo Pack. The Blu-ray is available today, October 18, 2011.

Blu-ray Review: Fast Five
1 year ago
The Fast and the Furious series has been a hit and miss for me. I enjoyed the first a lot, the second one was okay, the third one I really liked (since it had Tokyo and drifting), and the fourth one was okay (that tunnel scene was pretty bad). Fast Five I thought was the best one yet.

A lot of fans were bitching about the changes made to the Star Wars Blu-ray Set, including me. Sometimes bitching helps to sway a filmmaker’s decision, for example, Michael Bay getting rid of the stupid-looking twin robots in Revenge of the Fallen. This time the bitching will not help since George More >
Blu-ray Review: THOR
1 year ago
We have seen many superhero films come and go over the years. The last one I ever expected to succeed as a big budget summer tentpole was Marvel Studio’s THOR. Treading into the dangerous realm of magic, many feared it would scare off general audiences by being too unrealistic. Even though it is More >
GANTZ Live-Action Movie Blu-ray Review
1 year ago
GANTZ is a Japanese live-action movie based on the anime and manga of the same name. Adaptations are always a mixed bag, but one thing’s for sure, GANTZ is one of the better ones. I should have guessed so since it is from the same producers as the Death Note live-action movies, which were also good More >

I remember going to a midnight screening of REPO!: The Genetic Opera a couple of years back. The theater had accidentally double booked two midnight screenings that evening.

Here’s a pretty cool trailer for Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-ray. It starts off with Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader getting ready to have a light saber duel.

Believe this or not faithful readers, but I am a fanboy. I know right? Who would have thought? I am also willing to bet my bottom dollar that the majority of you who come to this site are too. When PAUL was released this year, I was torn. On one had it starred Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (A More >
