Movie Review: The Hunger Games

May the odds be ever in your favor.

 

by Jennifer Bay and Karissa Barrows, Editors

I was given The Hunger Games boxed set of books for my birthday.  At the time, I had vaguely heard of it but knew nothing of the story.  After blazing through the series, I have waited impatiently for the release of the first film by the same name.  Karissa, conversely, had not yet read more than the first thirty pages of the first book at the time we saw this movie.  (She did, however, finish reading all three books in two days after seeing the film.)

DVD Review: Breaking Wind

by Chris Kane, Reviewer

A mere year after the release of the critically panned Vampires Suck, director Craig Moss (Bad Ass, The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It) weighs in with his direct-to-DVD spoof of the Twilight saga, Breaking Wind.  This film struck me as being a celluloid version of that knock-knock joke.  You know the one that goes knock-knock (who’s there?) I eat mop (I eat mop who?)  HA HA!  Yeah, Breaking Wind is a little like that joke: moronic, scatological, and kinda funny!

Movie Review: A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas

Hilariously inappropriate hijinx drive this vehicle to deliver Xmas early …and in 3D!

by Kendrick Gaussoin, Junior Editor

While Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay picked up almost immediately after the events of Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas begins years later.

 

DVD Review: Your Highness

by Chris Learned Kane and Kimberly Learned Kane, Reviewers I was excited to see Your Highness. On paper, the movie justifies my excitation: it stars James Franco, Danny McBride, Natalie Portman, and Zooey Deschanel. The film boasts director David Gordon…

Solomon Kane

The other day I was like “wtf ever happened to Solomon Kane coming out? Did it ever release?” and I just looked it up: it didn’t even make back half its budget. No wonder it had no marketing for the Blu-ray, but that doesn’t explain why I never knew it released in theaters OVER A YEAR AGO. wtf?

… as it turns out, THERE IS NO USA Blu-ray release!?! so lame.

Blu-ray Review: Austin Powers Collection

When evil rears its head there is only one man who is brave enough, sexy enough, and shagadelic enough who can stop it. That man: Austin Powers. The hit trilogy of films starring former Saturday Night Live alumnus Mike Myers has made his Blu-ray debut with the Austin Powers Collection! Now you can relive all the of the hilarious movies in high definition.

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

DVD Review: 300 Limited 3-Disc Edition

“THIS. IS. SPARTA!”

Frank Miller is known for many things: His impressive story Sin City, saving the Batman Franchise with the definitive Batman story The Dark Knight Returns and his beautiful take on the tale of Leonidas and the Warriors of Sparta in the graphic novel 300. In 2007, Miller’s 300 made the jump to the big screen with the help of Director Zack Synder. Now the epic film 300 has been re-released on DVD in a new limited edition set!

Story

Blu-ray & DVD Review: Tropic Thunder

Tropic Thunder is an action movie set in the Vietnam war set within a comedy of the same name. Whether you’re talking about the comedy or the war drama within, Tropic Thunder is an all-star extravaganza that satires stardom, war movies, and really all of Hollywood.

Ben Stiller (producer of The Ruins) stars as Tugg Speedman as who in turn stars as Four Leaf Tayback. Speedman is the ultimate action hero whose fame has seen better days.

Jack Black (Kung Fu Panda) stars as Jeff Portnoy who in turn stars as Fats. Portnoy is a heroin addict whose fame is largely based on movies featuring himself playing multiple roles in fat suits.

Blu-ray Review: Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Star Wars: The Clone Wars does what no Star Wars prequel has ever done: Not suck.

Sure, Episode I had pod racing and a cool battle with Darth Maul, Episode II had Yoda battling Dooku and the arena scene, and Episode III had a battle scene on Kashyyyk, a place we hadn’t seen since the Holiday Special, but overall, they were an embarrassment to all us old school fans of the original trilogy. They featured whiny Anakin whining his whiny face all over the whiny place… They just weren’t good.

DVD Review: Wanted (Two Disc Special Edition)

I didn’t know that God was really that vengeful. I’m sure that everyone would be surprised to find out that God headed up a group of assassins. Ok, not really God but Morgan Freeman, who has played God on occasion. He is the head of an organization of assassins in the movie Wanted. It came out during the summer, and was based on a limited series comic book by Mark Millar, but since you are on ComicsOnline, I shouldn’t have to tell you that. Now, Wanted (Two Disc Special Edition) is out on DVD.
