Top 5 New Blu-ray releases for the Week of August 31

By Brenden ⋅ August 31, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Well, it’s not really the strongest week of new Blu-ray releases but given that it’s the end of summer and nobody wants to launch a film at the lowest sales-point of the year, I’m not terribly surprised. That said, we’re beginning to see boxed sets of last years TV seasons crop up in anticipation of their upcoming 2010 network debuts which will lead us into the veritable explosion of titles through September and October. …Continued…

Deep Blue Sea Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ August 21, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Deep Blue Sea is a ridiculous movie featuring angry sharks with artificially enlarged brains, biting and smashing their way into a deep-sea research facility, chomping through every B-list and C-list star who gets in their way! Sounds exactly like the kind of movie you’d best avoid picking up on Blu-ray, right? Only if you’re averse to having a cracking good time… …Continued…

Cop Out Blu-ray Disc Review

By Howard ⋅ August 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Kevin Smith, Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan—an unlikely working trio you say? Yes, well–It does work…in a weird way, anyway; however, this is not where the surprises end in the Warner Brothers’ release, Cop Out. The on-screen chemistry between Morgan and Willis is undeniable, too! …Continued…

Batman: Under the Red Hood Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ August 11, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Man, I love these DC Comics animated films! As much as I’m dying to see Warner and DC branch out and tackle more obscure characters and story-lines from their vast universe of super-hero properties, Batman: Under the Red Hood is a welcome addition to a growing library of wonderful animated adventures based on the dark, gritty world of the caped crusader. And a perfect compliment to the live-action Christopher Nolan films of the last number of years! …Continued…

Huh. Well, how do you like them apples?

The Losers Blu-ray Disc Review

By Chris ⋅ August 10, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Every fourth film these days seems to be a comic book adaptation. I’m not complaining. As a once faithful reader of weekly cartoon fun, I find Blu-ray titles like The Losers to be mostly entertaining whether I’ve read the four-colour source material or not. …Continued…

Clash of the Titans (2010) Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ August 9, 2010 ⋅ One comment

When I first caught wind of an update to the classic Clash of the Titans film heading to the big screen my first impulse was to decry the effort, feeling that nothing could possibly live up to the original. Then I took a step back, recalled that Harryhausen had just re-purposed Greek myth to best suit the stop-motion animation effects and creatures he wanted to design back in the day, and realized that this new version of the tale would be doing the exact same thing, only to modern standards. Suddenly I was filled with hope, imagining what a fresh coat of paint could bring to an old B-Movie standard. Sadly, I’ve come away from the exercise not with renewed faith for the imaginative powers of Hollywood creatives but only certain that they are in desperate need of a lesson in restraint. …Continued…
