DVD Review: Jing King of Bandits, Seventh Heaven OVA


“These stripes look pretty faltering on me.”

Jing is a teenage boy who calls him self King of Bandits, but Jing isn’t alone, he always has his best fried named Kir, a bird that can become a weapon. Jing and Kir have ben friend sense they were kids and if Kir attaches him self to Jing’s arm and they can shoot burst of green enginery . Even though Jing calls him self the King of Bandits and is a thief, he still has a senesce of honor. Jing is similar Lupin The III, because both Lupin and Jing are still good even tho they do bad things. One of the things that separates Jing from Lupin is that Jing steals for collecting purposes and Lupin steals for money.

Blu-ray Review: The Cell 2

“The only thing that’s better than torturing a woman’s body, is tormenting a woman’s mind.” The Cell 2 releases on Blu-Ray June 16th.

In the time-honored tradition of sequels created by people who had nothing to do with the original, The Cell 2 explores the mind of the Cusp, a serial killer that gets off on last words.  For the sake of fans of The Cell and Tarsem Singh’s beautiful original vision, I have decided to review The Cell 2 as an independent release that has nothing to do with the original.

DVD Review: Nobel Son

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

There are a lot of excellent movies that fall through the cracks of the theater, either due to bad marketing, general disinterest from the mainstream, or just ignorance of its very existence. Nobel Son may not exactly be an excellent film, nor as brilliant as it probably wanted to be, but it certainly deserved more than the generally negative reviews it received. Screened at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival first, it was picked up a year later for distribution and made about 540k overall. Not great, but at least it didn't die immediately after being slapped in the face, for the movie has more merit than the critics gave it.

Highlights

DVD Review: Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1960s Volume 1 and 1970s Volume 1

Ahh, Saturday mornings. Time to grab some breakfast and plant yourself in front of the TV so that a variety of commercial sponsors can tell you what to want in between snippets of ridiculous animated stories frenetic enough to hold your minuscule attention span! Ok, I haven't always been this cynical, and it is that innocent youngster that lurks somewhere inside us all that these collections are made for. Most of these series are from before my time, but anyone who watched cartoon reruns as a kid will find something recognizable in these collections.

DVD Review: Penn & Teller: Bullshit The Complete 6th Season

Ok, everybody else, keep reading…

DVD Review: 24 Season 7

WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR??!?!

Fans had to wait a long time to see Season 7 of 24 due to the Writer's Strike of 2007/2008. Several promotions had already aired in the US and had indicated the dismantling of CTU, as well as the return of a key player to the 24 Universe, TONY ALMEDA! But wait… wasn't he dead? Well unfortunately for us, only a few of the 24 episodes had been filmed before the strike began and production had to be postponed. After the strike ended, producers at Fox decided to postpone the airing of Season 7 until early 2009… The Power That Be decided that 2009 was a bit too long to wait for new adventures of our hero and made a two hour TV movie called "24: Redemption" (aka Jack Bauer's Adventures in Africa!) to serve as a prequel to the upcoming season. Now that the new season of 24 has been aired in the US, Fox has released the complete 7th season set!

DVD Review: Forever Funny

Forever Funny is a new DVD collection featuring several classic sitcoms from the past.

It took a long time to sit down and watch seven of the "best" comedies starting from the tarnished golden years of the Honeymooners to the rainy day hijinxs of Dr. Frasier Crane and his Seattle crew. The episodes, which also include I Love Lucy (I didn't), The Odd Couple (not about Bush and Cheney), Taxi (a show you probably couldn't get on a rainy Friday night in the City), The Brady Bunch (a little like the Palin Family) and of course Cheers (a bar where everybody may know your name but not the location of the nearest A.A. meeting). All of these shows put the sit in sitcom.

DVD Review: Action Packed

Action Packed is a special DVD collection of Four adventure TV shows of yesteryear. All are the original pilots of Mission Impossible, Macgyver, Walker Texas Ranger and NCIS. You can see what made each of these series terrific or moronic from the get go.
