TV Review: Futurama – “2-D Blacktop” and “Fry and Leela’s Big Fling”

Futurama returns for one more season of adventure starting tonight at 10pm on Comedy Central!

After successfully escaping from TV Heaven (or Robot Hell if you are Bender), the Planet Express crew is about to head off into the sunset (again). Having completed 4 Direct-To-Video releases, and 3 additional seasons, Comedy Central has decided to not renew the sci-fi comedy for additional episodes. While this news is bittersweet, at least fans were given the opportunity to enjoy many additional hours with these beloved characters over the last few years.

Tonight’s episodes include “2-D Blacktop” and “Fry and Leela’s Big Fling”. The network was kind enough to send the episodes out to the press for review, and I can say without question that the show is going out with a bang.

Movie Review: This Is The End

Some of us possess a certain mindset that will sometimes try to form a plan for what to do in the worst of all possible circumstances: The end of the world. Gather supplies, find like-minded colleagues, locate a defensible position, build a new life. Oftentimes those like-minded survivors are people that we knew and liked when the world was whole: family, co- workers, best friends… But what happens to those relationships when the comforts of the world disappear? What happens when none of your acquaintances have much in the way of survival skills? What happens when the only people you have at your disposal are five other comedy actors who were barely tolerable people to begin with?

This Is The End.

TV Review: Arrested Development: Season Four

In 2006, FOX made a grievous error when it cancelled one of the most original and entertaining comedies that it had on its Sunday night lineup. I am of course referring to the Emmy Award Winning series Arrested Development, created by comedic genius Mitch Hurtwitz. After the series was cut short during what was believed to be its third and final season, fans clamored for more antics of the Bluth Family. Many years passed, and we were told by Hurwitz himself to remain hopeful, as plans for a potential movie were underway. In 2011, the fans’ prayers were answered when it was announced that Netflix would become a new home for the Bluths, and it would even be footing the bill for a new season worth of episodes! How could this epic news get any better? We also learned that all of the installments of the new season would be released at once, defying conventional television releases. The time has finally arrived and the entire Bluth family is back in action. Get ready, because it is time for more Arrested Development!

Blu-ray Review: LEGO: Batman The Movie – DC Super Heroes Unite

Wow. That’s all I can say after seeing this work of pure GENIUS. The great minds behind Warner Premier who have brought us the entire line of DC Animated movies that have come out over the past 5 years have teamed up with LEGO for possibly their greatest and newest direct to home video release: LEGO Batman: The Movie – DC Superheroes Unite, now available to own on Blu-ray, DVD, On Demand, and for Digital Download. It is the funniest thing I have ever seen involving the massive cast of DC Comics characters done to date and because of which, it shines brightly by bringing all of these characters together into a storm of self aware humor that hasn’t been seen in a official production before.

Blu-ray Review: Captain America: Collectors Edition

When I was a kid, there were a couple of movies that I could watch countlessly – and, finally, one of these movies is available to own on Blu-ray: Captain America: Collectors Edition. Now, you might be confused about the Blu-ray release, since Captain America was just released by Marvel Studios in the last few years. The movie that I am referring to was originally planned to be a Theatrically Released Live Action Captain America movie (slated to be in theaters in 1990), but instead, ended up being a Direct-To-Video release in 1992. Maybe you have heard of it, or maybe you haven’t…Either way, I cannot begin to say how excited I was to hear about this release (I burnt out two copies of the film on VHS while growing up). While it might not be remembered as t he greatest Marvel adaptation ever, I think Captain America: Collectors Editor on Blu-ray stands on its own as being a fun (yet campier) take on the legacy of our hero in the red, white, and blue.

Movie Review: Star Trek Into Darkness

The crew of the USS Enterprise returns for further big screen adventures with the latest installment in the franchise: Star Trek Into Darkness.  Directed by J.J. Abrams, this new story in the Trek universe focuses on a threat that hits close to home, and forces the intrepid group of explorers to face their deepest fears. Star Trek (2009) had set the bar so high that it was hard to not to walk into the sequel without raised expectations.
