Blu-ray Review: The Losers


Hold on, I'm getting a call…

In 2003 writer Andy Diggle and artist Jock brought a new comic to DC's mature Vertigo line of comics: The Losers. As is often the case with Vertigo fare, this was no superhero comic. The Losers features a squad of mercenary spies who got burned by their government handler. Like many other Vertigo titles, The Losers is peppered with profanity and violence and duly earns its mature readers warning. Beside the distinctive fantastic artwork, one thing made The Losers stand out from other things on the newsstand: It was clearly meant for the big screen all along.

Blu-ray Review: Cop Out

Yippie-ki-yay, mother phoner! Sometimes the release of movies are impeccably timed with just the right holiday. You have your Christmas films released on Thanksgiving weekend, your horror films released for Halloween, and then you have your Kevin Smith film that…

Blu-ray Review: Ladybugs

My name is Chester.  I'm great, I'm wonderful, everybody likes me!


Ladybugs
has all the markings of a cheesy 1990s movie – awful floral dresses and shoulder pads run amuck and the soundtrack is delightfully tacky.  There’s a cute teen boy with a mischievous grin trying to impress the girl he likes and cliched objectifications of women.  And Rodney Dangerfield.  And his lack of respect, obviously.

Blu-ray Review: Valentine’s Day


 
Love. We are all looking for it, and when we find it, we cling to it as if we'll never get it again. We lavish those who provide it to us with gifts and time. There are those of us who devote more energy to the pursuit and care of Love than others. But, there is one thing universal to all of us whether or not we have found that love and that is Valentine’s Day. You either love it because you have someone, or hate it because you’re single. You can’t escape it, or even the fact that the day is coming up. Hollywood has cashed in on the day and made a movie about it, but this time they have decided to make it with an all star ensemble cast and now you can own Valentine's Day  on Blu-ray!
