In the late 1960s and 1970s there was a series of murders, in San Francisco, by an unknown assailant known only as the Zodiac killer.

Blu-ray Review: Election

The 1999 film Election is now available on Blu-ray!

Election, based off the book of the same name is about a subject that many of us all know and have grown to love/hate over the years. High School and the many politics that govern it. We are introduced to Matthew Brodrick who sadly is not playing Ferris Buller, but a teacher, Jim McAllister, who fails at life yet takes such joy at working with the school and the students there. Reese Witherspoon plays Tracey, a Senior in High School who has had a secret affair with a member of the teaching staff (her actions led to the staff member getting fired). Reese Witherspoon can definitely play a crazy, vindictive, sex crazed co-ed.

Blu-ray Review: Stargate Ark of Truth

For ten amazing years viewers had the privilege of watching the adventures of the military team known as SG-1 travel through the Stargate and travel to new worlds. Then, during the filming of their 200th episode, the staff was notified that the show would not be returning for an 11th year. That would have been good to have known earlier because the team on the show had introduce a new villain called the Ori who were more powerful than any other villain Earth had faced. In order to finish the story and continue the adventures of SG-1 MGM and Fox did the only thing they could: Make a movie! Stargate: The Ark of Truth was released last year as a Direct to DVD feature length film and has finally made its way to Blu-ray!

Blu-ray and DVD Review: Hulk Vs!

Lighting strikes twice with the new dual disc DVD and Blu-ray releases of Hulk Vs. Marvel is kind enough to give us not one, but two different battles featuring the Hulk Vs Wolverine and the Hulk Vs Thor!

Hulk Vs Wolverine
Based on the trailer that Lionsgate released, we were lead to believe that this movie would focus on the original story of Hulk Vs Wolverine from Hulk 181 (which was Wolverine’s first appearance). In reality, the film is a great fight between the two character but has a different focus:

Blu-ray Review: Resident Evil Degeneration

Video games as movies have never done very well in both the eyes of the public or the fans of those games. At best they end up becoming bearable or merely plain “good” and at worst we get anything by Uwe Boll. The Resident Evil movie series so far has had its own share of ups and downs. Based around the game series of the same name, the RE movie series have been about an evil virus making corporation known as “Umbrella” and their plan to make all the world their bitch by turning people into zombies and weird monsters. A group of people find out and attempt to stop them by fighting all the evil monsters that have been unleashed upon the world. The RE movies so far have very very loosely followed the game series storyline with random cameos from game characters and have pretty much failed to win over the fans of the game or movie critics despite Milla Jovovich wearing less and less clothes in each one.
