DVD Review: Star Wars- The Clone Wars: A Galaxy Divided

It turns out that this series is actually quite fun and captures some of what made the original trilogy worth watching. The newest installment called A Galaxy Divided is now available on DVD.

DVD Review: Time Crime
Time travel usually involves dinosaurs, buying stock in Kodak, futuristic mutants, changing time lines, or just plain old saving the world as we know it. And falling in live with Jane Seymore. But naked women and a deranged man wrapped in pink bandages make for a new twist on an overused subject.
But that’s exactly what the Spanish made Chronocrimenes (Time Crime) does. Regular guy Hector and wife Clara are moving into a new home and Hector spies a naked girl in the woods. When he goes to check out the situation, and who wouldn‘t, finds not only a naked girl but a man with pink bandages wrapped around is head, who stabs Hector with a pair of scissors. In the course of being chased he ends up in a time machine and travels back in time. What unfolds next is quite possibly one of the slickest scripts written.
Blu-ray Review: Never Say Never Again
"I need a urine sample. If you could fill this beaker for me?"
"From here?"
Back in the early 1980s someone made a bold move. Was there was a loophole in the movie rights for Bond films? It turned out that there was in fact a series of events that would allow a company other than Eon to create a film based on James Bond, but that's the thing: Just because you can, should you? Dare you? In 1983 Kevin McClory's Never Say Never Again remake of the Eon Bond film Thunderball went head to head against Eon's latest Bond film: Octopussy. In the end, Roger Moore's Bond won out in ticket sales and rentals, but it proved that there was indeed room for both to be blockbusters.

DVD Review: The Other End of the Line
The Other End of the Line a romantic comedy directed by James Dodson and starring Jesse Metcalf as Granger and Shriya Saran as Priya is now available on DVD!
The story is about a call center girl in India (that does an amazing American accent) who has a client that she kind of falls for over the phone. She does not tell him she's in India, instead she says she's in San Francisco. He ends up going to San Francisco for business and asks if he can meet up with her. She accepts, goes there, wimps out and meets him accidentally after deciding to go home without seeing him. They hit it off and it's lovely and then, of course, it all falls apart because he finds out she was lying.
DVD Review: Caprica
Now that Battlestar Galactica and Stargate Atlantis have ended, it feels like there isn't as much of a reason to watch SciFi channel anymore…but there will be a reason to watch the SYFY channel when it makes the rebranding jump because of new shows like Caprica.
There were a lot of questions about this new series that would take place 50+ years before the Battlestar Galactica saga that we witnessed for four amazing seasons. Everyone was worried that it wouldn't hold up to the high expectations that came with a prequel series being announced so soon after the current series ended. Thanks to NBC Universal, ComicsOnline has seen the pilot of Caprica and we can say with great assurance (and relief) that the pilot does hold up, and then some.
THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. This is your warning.
