Blu-ray Review: Green Lantern- First Flight
"In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power… Green Lantern's light!"
The Green Lantern Corps, a galaxy wide police squad dedicated to keeping the galaxy safe unbeknownst to us puny mortal earthlings. Enter Hal Jordan, test fighter pilot on earth who becomes chosen when a fallen member of the GLC crashes to earth and needs to find someone to inherit his ring that gives him power to fight evil. The origin story for Green Lantern has been told and redone many many times over throughout the years in the various different mediums and this new movie, Green Lantern: First Flight, is no different.
Blu-ray Review: Burn Notice: Season Two
Burn Notice is one of those shows that creeps up on you and eventually sends you scrambling to get the prior seasons so you can watch more. It's not because you need to have watched season one and two to enjoy any given episode, really all you need to know is given in each show's opener. Sure, there are some plot arcs that cover two episodes or even the whole season or series, but really, it's not that complicated. To me when I first watched it, I thought that it was yet another Stu Segall (Renegade, Silk Stalkings, Veronica Mars) production, as it very much has that same feel, but while this very much echoes other USA Network past offerings, this is from Fox.
Blu-ray Review: Ghostbusters
"Don't cross the streams."
Who ya gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! Who could have predicted that 25 years later, Ghostbusters would still be a household name? To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of this beloved, Academy Award Nominated movie, Sony has released the original Ghostbusters film on Blu-ray!
Blu-ray Review: The Cell 2
“The only thing that’s better than torturing a woman’s body, is tormenting a woman’s mind.” The Cell 2 releases on Blu-Ray June 16th.
In the time-honored tradition of sequels created by people who had nothing to do with the original, The Cell 2 explores the mind of the Cusp, a serial killer that gets off on last words. For the sake of fans of The Cell and Tarsem Singh’s beautiful original vision, I have decided to review The Cell 2 as an independent release that has nothing to do with the original.
Blu-ray Review: Spaceballs the Blu-ray
Get ready for Spaceballs: The Blu-ray!
The classic Mel Brooks Science Fiction parody hits the shelves this month in high definition. Now you can relive the classic misadventure featuring John Candy, Bill Pullman, Rick Moranis, Joan Rivers, Daphne Zuniga, and Mel Brooks himself.
Blu-ray Review: Revolutionary Road
"Look at us. We're just like everyone else. We've bought into the same, ridiculous delusion." …That this movie isn't painful to watch?
Blu-ray Review: Dexter The Second Season
"There are moments when I feel the mask is slipping. "
Blu-ray Review: Saturday Night Fever
"You make it with some of these chicks, they think you gotta dance with them."
Saturday Night Fever was originally released in 1977. As I was a little kid at the time, and it was perceived as just some film about disco dancing, a pastime that was much-derided in my adolescence, I never got around to seeing it until now. That's kind of a shame really, as I might have really enjoyed it's themes as a teenager.
Blu-ray Review: CSI: The First Season
Just in time for the announcement of the show’s tenth season, Paramount has released the CSI [Crime Scene Investigation] The First Season on Blu-Ray.
C.S.I. first aired in ’00 and in just 9 seasons had two spin-off shows (CSI: Miami and CSI: NY) a series of mystery novels, comic books, and even the occasional video games. It’s easy to see why when watching the first season. Known for being one of the first shows to be filmed and presented in HDTV format, Paramount finally releases all 23 episodes in the original 16:9 wide-screen.
Blu-ray Review: Star Trek: The Motion Picture Trilogy
I cannot possibly tell you how many times I have watched the original Star Trek films growing up. Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home were viewed countless times as a child. For that reason (amongst others) I am excited to tell you about the release of the classic Star Trek movies featuring the adventures of Captain Kirk and the crew of the original Enterprise on Blu-ray. One of these sets is Star Trek: The Motion Picture Trilogy which contains The Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock, and The Voyage Home. These three films take place within a short period of time and act as a continuing adventure.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
"Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
