Blu-Ray Review: Misery
“I’m your number one fan” shouldn’t make you cringe in fear, but for romance novelist Paul Sheldon those five words send waves of terror down his spine. Misery, based on the Stephen King novel and named for Paul’s’ recurring character Misery Chastaine and not his state throughout the movie, is a study in fanaticism.
Blu-ray and DVD Review: X-Men Origins: Wolverine
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is now available for you to add to your collection on DVD and Blu-ray.
One of the most controversial releases of the Summer is now (legally) available for you to own! The film, by Director Gavin Hood, features Hugh Jackman in an early story about Wolverine, and explains how he came to eventually join the X-Men. So by now I'm sure you have a pretty good idea about the general story of this movie. Wolverine and his "brother" Sabertooth (Liev Schreiber replacing Tyler Mane in the iconic role) go off on their own and eventually join up with a program called Weapon X, led by X2 Villain William Stryker (now played by Danny Huston).

Blu-ray Review: Army of Darkness: Screwhead Edition
"Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This… is my boomstick!"
The first time I was introduced to the Evil Dead series of movies was when I was ten years old. I was visiting my friend Tony and he wanted to watch some movie called Army of Darkness, which to me, being ten, sounded amazing. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I quickly learned that this would also make my top ten list for movies and 15 years later it is still in my top ten. Now this cult classic from Director Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Spider-Man) just got even better as Army of Darkness: Screwhead Edition is now available for the first time ever in high definition on Blu-ray!
Blu-ray Review: Shaun of the Dead
The cult classic comedy Shaun of the Dead is now available for you to own on Blu-ray! Starring Star Trek's Simon Pegg and written by Edgar Wright, this film is a great parody of the zombie and horror genre.

Blu-ray Review: Supernatural: The Complete Fourth Season
Supernatural originally debuted as part of 2005's fall season, and followed its Thursday partner Smallville from the WB over to the CW, until this year when Smallville when Clark ditches his younger brothers Sam and Dean and moves to Fridays.

Blu-ray Review: State of Play
"[I like holding the audience just at that point] where confusion and intrigue… coexist"– director Kevin Macdonald, from the commentary
State of Play is the new release from Universal by the director of The Last King of Scotland and the writer of Lions for Lambs. The movie dances just a little too close to the abovementioned line and made barely a ripple when it was released in theaters in April ($35 million domestically) but it is a worthy effort with an A-list cast that is a must-see for political junkies.
