DVD Review: D.Gray-Man: Season One, Part One
Allen Walker is a young, cursed boy who fights Akuma (weapons created from a tragedy, forced to destroy humans by their maker, the Millennium Earl). Allen was born with an Anti-Akuma weapon on his left arm, thus he was abandoned by his parents. Eventually he would become an apprentice to the Master Cross – an exorcist general. One day, Master Cross leaves Allen, telling him to go to the exorcist headquarters, called The Black Order.
DVD Review: Star Wars- The Clone Wars: A Galaxy Divided
No one could have predicted that Star Wars-The Clone Wars would actually turn out to be a good series. After horrible reviews of the pilot episode/movie most people just thought that there was nothing that could be done to make this series likable/watchable. It turns out that this series is actually quite fun and captures some of what made the original trilogy worth watching. The newest installment called A Galaxy Divided is now available on DVD.
Blu-ray Review: Never Say Never Again
"I need a urine sample. If you could fill this beaker for me?"
"From here?"
Back in the early 1980s someone made a bold move. Was there was a loophole in the movie rights for Bond films? It turned out that there was in fact a series of events that would allow a company other than Eon to create a film based on James Bond, but that's the thing: Just because you can, should you? Dare you? In 1983 Kevin McClory's Never Say Never Again remake of the Eon Bond film Thunderball went head to head against Eon's latest Bond film: Octopussy. In the end, Roger Moore's Bond won out in ticket sales and rentals, but it proved that there was indeed room for both to be blockbusters.
DVD Review: Time Crime
Time travel usually involves dinosaurs, buying stock in Kodak, futuristic mutants, changing time lines, or just plain old saving the world as we know it. And falling in live with Jane Seymore. But naked women and a deranged man wrapped in pink bandages make for a new twist on an overused subject.
But that’s exactly what the Spanish made Chronocrimenes (Time Crime) does. Regular guy Hector and wife Clara are moving into a new home and Hector spies a naked girl in the woods. When he goes to check out the situation, and who wouldn‘t, finds not only a naked girl but a man with pink bandages wrapped around is head, who stabs Hector with a pair of scissors. In the course of being chased he ends up in a time machine and travels back in time. What unfolds next is quite possibly one of the slickest scripts written.

DVD Review: Caprica
Now that Battlestar Galactica and Stargate Atlantis have ended, it feels like there isn't as much of a reason to watch SciFi channel anymore…but there will be a reason to watch the SYFY channel when it makes the rebranding jump because of new shows like Caprica.
There were a lot of questions about this new series that would take place 50+ years before the Battlestar Galactica saga that we witnessed for four amazing seasons. Everyone was worried that it wouldn't hold up to the high expectations that came with a prequel series being announced so soon after the current series ended. Thanks to NBC Universal, ComicsOnline has seen the pilot of Caprica and we can say with great assurance (and relief) that the pilot does hold up, and then some.
THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. This is your warning.

She accepts, goes there, wimps out and meets him accidentally after deciding to go home without seeing him.

DVD Review: Jim Gaffigan: King Baby
Jim Gaffigan: King Baby is a stand up special by comedian Jim Gaffigan, the exceptionally pale man behind Jim Gaffigan: Beyond the Pale, his previous special, who has also appeared in numerous film and television comedies.
Gaffigan has a very distinct, very silly persona for his stand up, which is particularly effective when he uses a high pitched voice to second guess himself, expressing the possible thoughts a critical member of the audience. He also uses his voice to create all kinds of ridiculous characters, which he uses while discussing all manners of inane topics. Overall, his stand up style is very effective.
