DVD Review: Power Rangers Seasons 8-12 Collection

In 1993, a television show was launched that would ultimately change the face of children’s programming as we knew it. Five teenagers with attitude burst onto the screen on Saturday morning, teaching children about teamwork, morals, and honor. Twenty years later, the Power Rangers legacy is still going strong with new annual incarnations. Thanks to our friends at Shout! Factory, fans new and old can enjoy several chapters of the Power Rangers saga in a new DVD box set featuring Seasons 8-12 (Lightspeed Rescue through Dino Thunder).

Blu-Ray Review: The World’s End

The World’s End, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright’s final chapter in the so called ‘Cornetto Trilogy’, has just been released on Blu-Ray.  We at ComicsOnline.com, and me personally. love the previous two, so I was pretty excited for this last collaboration to be released.  I still remember the first time I finally checked out Shaun of the Dead,  after all my friends had recommended it.  The odd, but loving, send up of the now ubiquitous zombie genre was fresh and hilarious, continuing where Army of Darkness left off, but taking it to in a slightly more British direction.  Would The World’s End live up to the high standard they’ve set?

Movie Review: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Second Opinion)

Finally!  It feels like forever since the first film of the series, The Hunger Games, was released (although I am told that it was only released in March 2012…I don’t believe you, IMDB) and fans of both book and movie have been faithfully awaiting The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.  Let’s get you all caught up.
