Conan The Barbarian coming to Blu-ray

By Brenden ⋅ May 13, 2011 ⋅ One comment

I don’t think I’m alone in feeling that Arnold Schwarzenegger was born to play Conan.

I kind of feel bad for skinny little Jason Momoa who fills the Governator’s mighty shoes in the upcoming remake of Conan The Barbarian, hitting screens later this summer. He’s going to have to put on about 100 pounds of pure muscle and an Austrian accent to convince me that the meaning of life is “To crush your enemies — See them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!” And I just don’t see that happening. …Continued…

Lionsgate and American Zoetrope, Francis Ford Coppola’s film studio, have announced a multi-year home entertainment distribution agreement which will see them bringing his acclaimed film Apocalypse Now to Blu-ray this October. Even more exciting, as far as I’m concerned, is that this deal will cover the eventual release of Coppola’s The Conversation, a film I consider to be his finest and one of my all-time favourites from any director. …Continued…

Rome: The Complete Series Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ December 9, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

I’m at a loss for words when it comes to HBO’s brilliant series Rome. I’m overwhelmed with both sadness and awe when I watch these episodes: the latter for the sheer epic wonder that is the series and the former because it’s a television show lost before its time.
