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.

Blu-ray Review: Zack and Miri Make a Porno
“If you ask me nicely, I will Dutch Rudder you for the rest of our lives.”
Kevin Smith and View Askew hadn’t left the nest of the “View Askewniverse” since Jersey Girl, so what were we to think when he cast yet another hot young actor in his latest departure from his comfort zone? Well firstly, that’s a damn funny title. Second, it’s got an alluring ensemble cast taking some of the best of Silent Bob’s Jersey cohorts and pairing them with an awesome sampling of geek pop culture and other hip actors.

Blu-ray Review: Boondock Saints
“For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.” -McManus prayer
I didn’t first see Boondock Saints until 2005, due in no small part to its extremely constrained US theatrical realease when it first premiered in 1999. It seems that some people were hypersensitive about public gunplay after Columbine, which was a shame, as this was a truly exciting film that later became a cult classic on video and DVD. Now that Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day is in post-production, devine provenance has delivered the original cult classic in the format it was always been fortold in the scriptures: 1080p High Definition graphics and lossless Dolby Digital 5.1 True-HD sound.
DVD and Blu-ray Review: Wonder Woman

But now, DC Comics proudly presents its newest Direct to DVD/ Blu-ray release of Wonder Woman! This is the 4th release under the DC Universe Direct to DVD series and is produced by Bruce Timm, best known for his work on the Batman, Superman and Justice League Animated Series.

Blu-ray Review: Donnie Darko
“Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?”
“Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?”
Cult classic film Donnie Darko has just made its way on to Blu-ray!
For those of you who have never heard of this movie, it really is quite amazing. I was introduced to Donnie Darko during a midnight screening of the film in Santa Cruz, CA in 2003. My dormmates said they were going to see this film and summarized the story as being about “evil rabbits and time travel”. I of course went along (because really, who could refuse a story like that?).
Blu-ray Review: Futurama Into the Wild Green Yonder
Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder, the 4th (and possibly final?) Futurama Direct to DVD release will be available on Feb 24th on DVD and Blu-ray!
Story
Like all of the Futurama movies, the structure of the film is a bit sporadic at times. There are three major plot-lines that happen during the film (please understand that the following review contains spoilers but also might seem a little confusing…but it is the chain of events in the film…so I will do the best I can).

Blu-ray Reviews: The French Connection I & II
The 1971 Academy Award winning film The French Connection pulled in not only Best Picture, but four other Oscars for that year, including Best Director, Actor, Editing, and Writing in its category. The French Connection also won three Golden Globes and a host of other awards.
In 1975, it’s underlauded sequel The French Connection II premiered. Now you can own them looking, according not only to ComicsOnline, but also to Director William Friedkin who said so of the first movie, the best that anyone’s ever seen them on their new Blu-ray format.
One important thing to note is that these were made in 1971 and 1975, meaning cultural sensitivity had not yet been invented. Our heroes use racial epithets in a harsh and hurtful way because they can. The violence may not be as graphic by today’s standards, but there is plenty of reason to take the R Rating seriously.
DVD & Blu-ray Review: Madagascar Escape 2 Africa
Marty: This is not crackalackin’.
Alex: Definitely lacking on the cracking, my friend.
Gloria: Is this place great or what?
Alex: I’m going with “or what”.
Remember how funny Madagascar was? Didn’t you love the trailer for Madagascar 2? You know, where it’s got that great elevator intro building up to the “I like to Move It-Move It” song, then Julien the king lemur pops out of the cake in drag, then the penguins fly the plane and… Yeah, after that? well…
