Blu-ray Review: Hotel Rwanda

“I think if people see this footage they’ll say, “Oh my God that’s horrible,” and then go on eating their dinners.”

by Brenda Waldrop, Media Editor

Sadly, as chronicled in the epic film Hotel Rwanda, that’s precisely what most of the world did.  In April of 1994 they sat back, eating their dinners and living their lives, while they watched as a genocide claiming the lives of over 800,000 Rwandans raged in a country that most people had barely heard of.  Based on the true story of Paul Rusesabagina, expertly portrayed by Don Cheadle, who saved over 1,200 Tutsi’s during the 100 day genocide in 1994.

Blu-ray Review: Benny & Joon

Thanks for the couch. Um… Mike made me sleep under the sink.

By Caleb Paullus

Not being a Johnny Depp fan – oh who am I kidding, Depp is a dreamboat, even when he is portraying an eccentric cinemaphile in this romantic comedy film. Benny & Joon, originally released in 1993, is now digitally remastered in high resolution blu-ray glory! You can see every beautiful pore on Johnny Depp’s gorgeous face. I know what you are thinking, “Caleb has a boy-crush on Johnny Depp”. No that’s not the case, I’m actually the one that got a restraining order placed on him before he got one on me.

Blu-ray Review: Mad Men – Season Four

You may have to wait until 2012 for Season Five of the acclaimed AMC series Mad Men to return, but you can catch up on the Blu-ray edition of Mad Men – Season Four right now!

Mathew Weiner has not just lovingly and meticulously recreated the fall of 1964 and rest of l965 in the Fourth Season of Mad Men. He has created a thirteen hour movie.  As it languidly unfolds it provides a window into the past giving us clues regarding the directions that the characters who inhabit this world are going to take.  It just takes time, and alot of it. By the time it concludes, everyone and everything in this corner of universe will be accounted for.
