Frida (Blu-ray Review)

2002’s Frida would be Salma Hayek’s passion project finally come to fruition after so many years of rejections. She obviously had to pay her dues and build herself up as an actress and producer to get this done. Just because you’re hot in this town doesn’t mean you can always get what you want. It [...]

The Tempest (Blu-ray Review)

Writer/Director Julie Taymor has returned to cinema with her latest visual feast for the eyes and the soul in William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. If you’re not familiar with Ms. Taymor then let me reacquaint you with her style.  She had previously written and directed Titus, Frida, and Across the Universe.  The Tempest marks her fourth [...]

Rango (Blu-ray Review)

I was very curious about Rango when it hit theaters, but for whatever reason, I was not able to catch it on the big screen.  People kept telling me that since I’m a big western film buff that I would love it, because it in fact IS a western.  So far, so good!  The theatrical [...]

RANGO is Fun for the Whole Family!

Not often can I recommend a movie for the entire family to see together.   Many movies are niched to a specific audience and age demographic, and many times parents struggle to find something everyone can enjoy.  RANGO fits this bill nicely.   Gore Verbinski has assembled a winning team of voices for the animated [...]

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (Blu-ray Review)

I recently had the chance to talk about this film with it’s director, Jon Turteltaub which you can read here and now I’ve had the chance to watch his movie on Blu-ray to see the finished result. I wasn’t sure how the movie would turn out as it was based on the most popular cartoon [...]

A Talk with Director Jon Turteltaub

I had the good fortune to be allowed to participate in a round-table discussion with the Director of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (and the National Treasure series) to promote the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD releases of the movie.  A lot of times, it’s hard to get a lot of questions answered either due to the quantity [...]

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Blu-ray Review)

I was very happy to get this movie to review as I had missed it in the theaters and I was excited to see what Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney could do after their last swashbuckling effort resulted in the Pirates of the Caribbean series which I loved.  You see, I have a serious weakness for [...]

Prince of Persia Granulizes on Blu-ray in September

I love talking about this film.  Anytime I can talk about the lovely Gemma Arterton, I’m a happy man.  And she looks absolutely stunning in Disney’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time…and the movie wasn’t bad either (insert smile).  So it gives me great pleasure to announce that Disney has set a September 14th [...]

The Prince of Persia = Jake Gyllenhaal with Lots of Bronze

Jake Gyllenhaal stars alongside the beautiful Gemma Arterton as well as acting legend Ben Kingsley, in the Mike Newell, Jerry Bruckheimer produced video game adaptation.  And of course you can’t forget Alfred Molina, who got his start in swashbucklers like this, playing Satipo in Raiders of the Lost Ark.  Is Prince of Persia the new [...]

Gemma More! (Disney’s ‘Prince of Persia’)

Gemma More!  Give me more Gemma Arterton that is.  I know that’s a pretty lame attempt at humor, but it works for me.  Gerard is probably rolling his eyes right now reading this.  Ha ha.  My exploitation of Gemma Arterton continues with the upcoming Disney release of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.  The [...]

The Pink Panther 2 (Blu-ray Review)

I’m on a roll!  In one of my last reviews I mentioned that there were certain films I had no desire to see in my entire life.  The Pink Panther 2 was one of those films.  You gotta do what you gotta do.  In my defense, I love the animated series, considering it’s now an [...]

Get An Education on Blu-ray

I hope I wasn’t misleading with the title.  LOL.  Here’s one of those titles that is up for an Academy Award that many people quite frankly probably never even heard of.  I am one of those people.  In fact, I just saw it was playing finally at local theater near me.  I don’t know how this [...]
