Thor Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ September 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m not saying that Marvel movies can do no wrong (hell, we all remember Daredevil and Elektra) but this run of films from Marvel Studios, beginning with Iron Man and leading to next summer’s The Avengers has proven a pretty exciting series of films. Thor sits firmly in the middle of the established timeline thus far and also sits firmly in the middle of the films in terms of quality. It’s nowhere near as solid as Iron Man but nowhere near as flawed as Iron Man 2. …Continued…

Here’s a short clip from the Marvel One-Shot: The Consultant short film that will be on the Thor Blu-ray, in stores September 13th.

Black Swan Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ April 30, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Director Darren Aronofsky’s entire filmmaking career has been leading to the creation of Black Swan. It’s a dark, metaphysical drama that fuses the conceptual gymnastics of his earlier work with the gritty, real style of the film that directly preceded it, The Wrestler. …Continued…

Black Swan Blu-ray officially announced

By Brenden ⋅ February 28, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Well, I have to say that I’m disappointed that Black Swan didn’t pick up a few more golden statues at the Academy Awards last night. I don’t really put much stock in award programs but I’m such a fan of director Darren Aronofsky and would love to see him recognized for the work he does. There’s little hope that his next film, The Wolverine, will receive any accolades beyond those showered on him by X-Men fans, elated that he will have rescued the franchise from sequel hell, so it’s a real shame that Black Swan lost out (not to diminish Natalie Portman‘s Best Actress award or anything). I’m very pleased, though, that Fox has finally announced the release of the film on Blu-ray. …Continued…
