DVD Review: Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos

 
by Erin Hatch, Editor-at-Large
 
There comes a time in every adult’s life in which he or she will come to believe that Chuck Norris is nothing more than an aging TV Star whose reputation has been over-inflated by memes on the internet, to the point that pencil-necked geeks and poorly socialized man-children worship him as if he were a god. To all of those people: make no mistake, those geeks and man-children are right. Chuck Norris is not man, but something greater, and that becomes apparent in the first moments of Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos.

DVD Review: Beast Wars: Transformers – Season One and The Complete Series Releases

 
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
 
Transformers fans are quite the fickle and picky bunch, so when Beast Wars: Transformers was announced as a brand new animated series featuring their favorite robots as animals, more than a few were quite taken aback by the concept. When you added in the fact that it was forsaking traditional animation for the then-new-fangled completely CGI animation, the hard-to-please bunch were more than a little wary.

Blu-ray Review: Superman: The Motion Picture Anthology 1978-2006


Walking is for suckers

by Matt Sernaker, Senior Editor

It’s a bird!
It’s a plane!
It’s the Superman Motion Picture Anthology 1978-2006, now available for you to own on Blu-ray!

Watch as Superman takes on Lex Luthor, General Zod, Lex Luthor, Richard Pryor, Lex Luthor, and….(wait for it…) LEX LUTHOR! Wow…that’s not a lot of variety in the villain department, and really, listing Richard Pryor as the “villain” of Superman III is kind of a stretch. Now fans can witness all of the cinematic adventures of The Man of Steel in glorious high definition in this new 8-disc set.

Blu-ray Review: True Blood The Complete Third Season

by Kevin Gaussoin, Editor-in-Chief

True Blood is erotic monster fantasy fiction for adults. Twilight may be pretty, but the heroine is weak,  the plot dull and motivations hard to believe. With True Blood, we get supernatural hotties at their naked best in a show that’s not only gratuitous and well shot, but also well written and acted and always entertaining.

Warning: Spoilers Ahead!

Blu-ray Review: Green Lantern: Emerald Knights

By Kroze Kresky, Media Editor and Matt Sernaker, Senior Editor

DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation have consistently given us quality Direct-to-DVD releases, featuring heroes from the DC Universe. With the new Green Lantern live-action movie coming out this month, there is no better time for the DC Animated Film series to dive deep into Green Lantern mythos and lore. Hence, they’ve brought us a series of short stories taken from the comics over the years in Green Lantern: Emerald Knights, available on June 7th on Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Download combo pack!

DVD Review: After Dark Original’s Fertile Ground


by Karl Madsen, Media Editor, Horror


You know what’s worse than going on a vacation in a foreign locale, meeting new people, and meeting an untimely, and usually painful and messy, demise? Why, it’s moving into a house with a bad reputation, especially if it’s an ancestral home. And if you’re moving in because of financial problems, to win a bet or you need to make a fresh start, and it just happens to come available at a most opportune time.


And in Fertile Ground, Emily (Leisha Hailey – The L Word) and Nate (Gale Harold – Hellcats) do just that. The film starts out with a pregnant Emily having a miscarriage, and in her depression gives up her lucrative clothing design business.

Double your pleasure, double your fun?


by Karl Madsen, Media Editor, Horror


“Can you feel it?”


“No.”


“But all the elements are there.”


“Then why can’t we feel it?”


“The project takes time.”


“But everyone else feels it.”


“I feel it.”


“Liar.”


“Seriously.”


“There, the way he tilts his head.”


“No. It’s in his eyes.”


“Well, maybe next time.”


If this exchange sounds creepy, imagine it with twins talking.

Magazine Review: Thor – Official Movie Special

by Elizabeth Madsen, Reviews

Perhaps it wasn’t much of a question that Thor would be so successful with Kenneth Branagh at the directing wheel, but to have a magazine created based solely on this movie definitely shows how good it is. Aimed at all ages, this magazine serves as an introduction into the beautiful branch of Thor’s place in the Marvel Universe. Whether or not you’ve been a fan of Thor since the beginning, joined our Norse god along the way, or if you’re new to the hero, this magazine will tell you what you need to know about both the movie and the comic books to enjoy his story.
