DVD Review: Jim Gaffigan: King Baby
Jim Gaffigan: King Baby is a stand up special by comedian Jim Gaffigan, the exceptionally pale man behind Jim Gaffigan: Beyond the Pale, his previous special, who has also appeared in numerous film and television comedies.
Gaffigan has a very distinct, very silly persona for his stand up, which is particularly effective when he uses a high pitched voice to second guess himself, expressing the possible thoughts a critical member of the audience. He also uses his voice to create all kinds of ridiculous characters, which he uses while discussing all manners of inane topics. Overall, his stand up style is very effective.

DVD Review: Down and Dirty with Jim Norton
Comedy, like music, is highly personal and watching a show full of random stand ups is similar to MTV playing Gwar, Joni Mitchell and Lil Jon back to back… it doesn’t work. Down and Dirty with Jim Norton tries to remedy the Premium Blend model by assembling a group of comedians with similar material.
Blu-ray Review: Bolt
How do you know it's time to finally break time and make the switch to Blu-ray? When Disney's latest offering is released on Blu-ray before it's available on DVD*. It's like Disney's knocking on your thick skull and saying "Hello, are you in there? This is the future of technology calling. Nineteen ninety-six called and it wants it's DVDs back. You really need to give it up and just start watching movies and TV in HD with the rest of the world. Hello? Can you say 1080p and English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio?" But being as though this is Disney we're talking about, they're nicer than that and *they even include the DVD version along with the 3-disc Blu-ray edition cause they know that life, like technology upgrades, is not always so simple.
DVD Review: Lilo & Stitch 2-Disc Big Wave Edition
"Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten." -Lilo
Aliens. Elvis. Kids. Family. Hawaii. Surfing. If you're a fan of any of these things, you will likely love Lilo & Stitch Which is now re-released in its blue-in-color but sadly standard definition only "2-Disc Big Wave Edition".
It seems that there's no Blu-ray announced as on the way, so it's likely safe to pick up this edition if you don't already have Lilo & Stitch on DVD on your shelf.

Blu-Ray Review: Pinocchio 70th Anniversary Edition
When You Wish Upon a Star
Walt Disney's 2nd animated feature-length film debuted 70 years ago, but only now do we have the technology to appreciate it better than it's ever been seen before. With Blu-ray, now we can watch it at home in the highest resolution to date, 1080p, and listen to its classic songs in DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 sound, which is likewise better than ever before. Like Bolt, which also was just released on DVD and Blu-ray, when you purchase the Pinocchio 70th Anniversary Edition on Blu-ray, you also get it on DVD. So for those of you who don't want to buy it twice or maybe you want the DVD to put in the minivan for trips with the kids, now your wish has come true.

DVD Review: Role Models
You've had a bad day. Not just "I'm feeling kind of stressed" bad, or "my co-workers are all jerks" bad, but "dumped by my girlfriend in the face of an existential crisis" bad, and you make one tiny mistake and end up looking at 30 days in prison or 150 hours of community service. Which do you take? The community service, right? How could it be worse than prison?
