Blu-ray Review: Despicable Me

“IT’S SO FLUFFY!”

Gru is the greatest super Villain. Gru is evil. Gru is not your average neighbor. And Gru is definitely not the dad type; until now. This is the story of how three little orphaned girls, Margo, Edith and Agnes, found (in the most unlikely person), something they were searching for all their lives. Now you can own Despicable Me on Blu-ray!

Despicable Me finds Gru at a changing point of his life. Once the greatest villain on Earth, he finds himself taking a backseat to a new villain, Vector. To top it all off, his life gets turned upside down with the addition of these three little girls, thanks to one of his plans backfiring on him. However, in the process of trying to get his life back to what it once was, Gru finds that he can enjoy what his life has become.

Blu-ray Review: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

All the best babes dig mages.

Blu-ray Review: James Cameron’s Avatar 3-Disc Extended Collector’s Edition


I was born for this!

 

James Cameron doesn’t know how to do anything small and his previous successes as well as the new wrecking ball of cash that is Avatar have proven that.  Avatar was the highest grossing film of all time and as of this date, Avatar on Blu-ray is the highest selling Blu-ray of all time. While not 3D, 20th Century Fox brings us a sweet looking movie in this collection. The story of Jake Sully isn’t an original one, but I guarantee you’ll not find a better looking one.

Blu-ray Review: Metalocalypse: Season III: The Dead Man

Death, destruction, mayhem, and music. Those are the things most associated with the band Dethklok. Dethklok is the subject of an ancient Mesopotamian prophecy about the apocalypse, which has worried the government enough to create an organization, called The Tribunal, to prevent the oncoming apocalypse.  Dethklok is good at two things: playing Death Metal, and destroying everything. Only the metal is intentional, as playing music is the only real skill they have. Dethklok is basically a bunch of overgrown children. They can’t even run their own lives with success. This is why Charles Foster Ofdensen is hired; to manage the business end of things and keep their daily lives in order. Behind the scenes he seems to be manipulating events towards the apocalypse. Whether this is the case or not is yet to be seen….Welcome to Metalocalypse: Season III, which is now available on Blu-ray!

Blu-Ray Review: Splice

Man has always been wondering how the human body has worked since the beginning of time, and inevitably followed with how to take control of life itself. In the past 60 years technologies have been invented that have edged us ever closer to those goals.  In 1987 the Human Genome Project was created to map the nucleotides in a human haploid genome reference group. In 1997, scientists famously cloned a sheep named Dolly. In 2000, scientists cloned a rhesus monkey. In 2001, a bull was cloned. In 2003, the announcement was made that the Genome was mapped. In 2009, scientists cloned a camel. These days scientists are moving closer and closer to being able to clone, and/or genetically engineer a human. In Splice, we see a film about what just might happen in the case that we do make that final leap into cloning.

Blu-ray Review: Scott Pilgrim VS the World

 

Scott Pilgrim VS the World is spectacular. The action scenes are great. The rest is clever, hip, and hysterically funny. They are amazingly faithful to the comics. Overall, it is just plain fun.
