Blu-ray Review: Serenity
Etta Courum Nas Mehkh!*
Good, now that you’ve calmed down, it’s time to talk about Serenity. Once upon a time there was a little show called Firefly. It was conceived, written and directed by Joss Whedon, who you may remember had a similar relationship with another little multi-media franchise that included Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Angel spinoff. In the Fall of 2002, Joss brought one of the best shows ever written back to the same network that he had brought so much awesomeness to with the Buffy-verse. To show their appreciation, FOX executives in charge of television scheduling that year** did everything in their power to bury, bugger, and bomb this glorious show that was the best of all things Sci-Fi, Western, Action, and Comedy, and was simultaneously all heart.
Blu-ray Review: The X-Files: I Want to Believe
After five years since the television series concluded, The X-Files finally returns with their second cinematic adventure, The X-Files: I Want to Believe
Like many other reviewers I’ve read since the cinematic debut of this film, I wasn’t initially particularly thrilled with the story, but I was very much thrilled to see Mulder and Scully back together again after all these years. This film doesn’t completely fill in the blank since they left the FBI, but it gives you a pretty strong idea as to what’s been going on the whole time.
Blu-ray Review: Tommy Boy Holy Schnike Edition
I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bulls ass, but I‘d rather take the butchers word for it.
Blu-ray Review: Death Race
Congratulations on joining the Death Race, where Terminal convicts get a chance to race for their very lives! If you can win (and survive) 5 races then you win your freedom. Don’t worry, you won’t be driving a regular race-car. You get to drive totally tricked out cars complete with bullet-proof windows, machine guns, napalm, spikes, and more! Oh and if you decide to compete in the Death Race you get your very own extremely hot navigator from a Women’s Prison! She will help you make your way through the course and avoid the other racers. Good luck!
Now you too can join in the excitement that is Death Race because it is available on Blu-ray and DVD! This movie was brought to you from the team of Director Paul W.S. Anderson and Producer Jeremy Bolt that made the 90’s thriller Event Horizon.
Blu-ray Review: Supertroopers
Dear Fox,
I hope you are doing well. I am fine. I wanted to write to say thank you for releasing Supertroopers, one of my favorite comedies, on Blu-ray. It is really great. That was very nice of you. Tell everyone I said hi.
Love,
Matt
DVD Review: Swingtown: The First Season
The CBS summer show Swingtown is a fine example of how excellent shows sometimes never get a chance to really shine. It was heartbreaking for fans of this interesting slice of 70’s goodness to hear it was canceled after only one season. Originally intended to be a mid-season replacement, the Writer’s Strike caused Swingtown to be put off until the summer, and perhaps that was the death blow before it even began. Set in the mid-seventies, the show explores romance, the destruction of ‘traditional’ marriage, friendship, class differences, coming of age growth, and of course, swingers. Now Swingtown: The First Season is out for DVD, and the tragedy is that this will be the complete series as well.
CD Review: Alvin and the Chipmunks – Undeniable
CD Review: Alvin and the Chipmunks – Undeniable
by the Chipmunks #1 Fan, R. Draughn
How do you determine if a band is good or great? Is it the by the number of hit songs they have? Maybe it’s the number of platinum records they have? Nope, it’s the number of years you can keep going and change with the times. You have the Eagles: their music is still going today as much as when the first hit the charts. The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger is still packing the arenas. Then we have Alvin and the Chipmunks. They have been rocking and rolling with the best for 50 years and have come out with a new album to show they still have it.
iPhone Game Review: Iron Man: Aerial Assault
When the Iron Man movie came to theatres this year, it raised the bar for not only comic book movies but all action movies. It featured solid characterization, exciting action, and amazing special effects.
When Iron Man subsequently came to Blu-ray, it also raised the bar in production value for its medium, Making it the best way to experience an already epic movie.
Can a game, which only came out recently, well after the releases of the film and the DVD, hope to measure up, or is this another example of some disappointing cheap ploy to exploit name recognition?
Blu-ray Review: LOST The Complete Fourth Season
LOST The Complete Fourth Season is out on DVD and Blu-ray and if you’ve been following the show since the first season, this past season was the one where the show’s basic formula was turned on its side and recreated by way of flash forwards. Granted we really saw our first flash forward in the cliffhanger of season three but that was really our intro of what to expect with season four.
