Blu-Ray Review : “Young Adult”
There are few directors who I can say that I eagerly anticipate their upcoming movies due to the fact that their track record has proven that I can have faith in them turning in a solid flick. Christopher Nolan is definitely one of these people. For me, he just hasn’t made a bad movie. Jason […]
Blu-Ray Review: “The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn”
For me, “The Adventures of Tintin” couldn’t fail. The talent and source material was just too great. I had been familiar with the character due to my brother. He watched the tv series that aired on HBO in the early ’90s. I knew he was a young twenty something journalist who had adventures involving mysteries […]
Blu-Ray Review: “The Three Musketeers”
A lot of critics and fans hate on Paul W.S. Anderson, the director of this re-imagining of the classic tale “The Three Musketeers”. I am not one of those people and will, in fact, defend his films since I have found most of them quite enjoyable. “Mortal Kombat” was going to be tough to make […]
DVD Review: “Hugo”
“Hugo” was my favorite film of last year. I got to see it in 3D only once so I was anxious to see if the film would be just as beautiful on a much smaller screen in traditional 2D. I am still in awe of it. From a technical standpoint, it is without a doubt […]
DVD Review: “Justice League: Doom”
“Justice League: Doom” is the newest addition to DC’s slate of animated films. It has a lot of positives going for it including the action, voice acting, animation, and plot set up. Unfortunately, there are a few key components that will keep this film from being enjoyed by more casual fans of the Justice League. […]
DVD Review: “London Boulevard” Starring Colin Farrell and Keira Knightley
[hdplay id=434 width=595 height=375] When I first saw the above trailer, I was fairly excited. I have enjoyed a number of British gangster films. “Layer Cake”, “Snatch”, and “In Bruges” are the first few that come to mind, but there have been plenty of others. I was hoping to get the same type of dish […]
Blu-Ray Review: Kevin Smith’s “Red State”
Kevin Smith is perhaps one of the most frustrating filmmakers of this generation. His best movies are amazing, Clerks, Chasing Amy and Dogma are part of our cultural Zeitgeist and yet for every Clerks, he has given us a Clerks 2, a Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back or a Jersey Girl. Oddly enough, Red […]
Blu-Ray Review: Scream 4
There’s been a lot of bad blood (pun intended) surrounding this fourth installment of the Scream franchise. Many have said the characters are less developed than the first, that it focuses too much on comedy and that it doesn’t have the same scare factor than the original. It seems like these critics have forgotten what […]
