Tekkon Kinkreet (BLU-RAY)

Submitted on 23 September 2007
Light year’s better than Warner Bros.’ weak and overrated Happy Feet, the less successful Surf’s Up was definitely dealt the short-end of the stick on popularity but the…large end of the stick on quality, if that’s a term.... Read more

Remember the Titans (BLU-RAY)

Submitted on 23 September 2007
Is it possible to make a bad sports movie? Probably, but Disney’s resume would sure argue that. Denzel Washington turns out one of the best performances of the year in one of Disney’s best sports movies…and there have been a lot.... Read more

A Few Good Men (BLU-RAY)

Submitted on 17 September 2007
During Rob Reiner’s strange and eclectic directing career (see The Princess Bride, North, Ghosts of Mississippi, This is Spinal Tap and Misery), few of his movie hit the mark so heavily as A Few Good Men.  With catchphrases and acting chops galore, Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson hammered out a cla...

The Replacement Killers (BLU-RAY)

Submitted on 10 September 2007
Oscar-Winner Mira Sorvino turns out a performance like all her others: bland and uninspired. How or why she won that Oscar is beyond me as she normally ruins a movie.... Read more

The Lives of Others (BLU-RAY)

Submitted on 20 August 2007
After a sizeable wait, the 2006 Foreign Language Academy Award Winner has arrived on “home video.”  The scrappy, exotic and hard-hitting The Lives Of Others is a gritty film not necessarily appropriate for the Blu-Ray format, but they all have to find their way eventually…... Read more

Immortal Beloved (BLU-RAY)

Submitted on 20 August 2007
Immortal Beloved, pardon the term, immortalized Gary Oldman as an amazing actor so why not give him the high definition treatment?  After all, aside from Fifth Element, most of his great modern roles haven’t found themselves onto the format yet (See Harry Potter films and Batman Begins)....

Perfect Stranger (BLU-RAY)

Submitted on 20 August 2007
It’s always a shame when both a movie and the quality suffer the same horrible fate.   Bruce Willis tumbles hard and far in this movie while, surprisingly, Halle Berry shines a little more than she usually does.... Read more

Vacancy (BLU-RAY)

Submitted on 16 August 2007
I never saw this movie in theatres but I heard the complaints of the darkness of the picture.  A few weeks ago, the lead singer of Slayer informed me that this was his favorite movie that he has seen in recent memory, which went against everything I heard about it.  Despite it’s many faults, Vaca...

Wild Hogs (BLU-RAY)

Submitted on 13 August 2007
The year’s biggest surprise hit finds its way onto DVD and Blu-Ray Disc.  Wild Hogs is certainly the most unlikely candidate for highest grossing comedy of the year (Time Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy in a movie about over-aged wannabe bikers in leather?)... Read more

The Lookout (BLU-RAY)

Submitted on 13 August 2007
Another great performance and movie from Joseph Gordon-Levitt and another movie that no one saw.  The Lookout is an intriguing and, dare I cliché, spell-binding movie with amazing performances from the underrated Gordon-Levitt, Matthew Good, Jeff Daniels and a surprisingly dramatic turn from Isla...
