Brian’s Unquestionable TOP 10 Films of 2011

It’s that time again.  Another year has flown by and I’m still proverbially in the same place and physically in the same chair as I was last year.  My how things don’t always change like you want them to, but that’s the beauty of looking forward to next year and all the endless possibilities dreams, [...]

‘Colombiana’ Unrated Version Shoots It Out On Blu-ray™

Revenge is definitely a beautiful genre, especially when you’re talking about the Zoe Saldana thriller Colombiana.  The never-before-seen unrated version arrives on Blu-ray with UltraViloet and DVD on December 20th, and I for one, couldn’t be happier about it!  Colombiana is a scandalous blend of action, sex and violence and if you haven’t experienced it [...]

The Heart Specialist: Online DVD Giveaway Opportunity

Here’s your once-in-a-lifetime free chance to WIN a DVD copy of the “Heartwarming Romantic Comedy” featuring an All-Star Ensemble Cast HEADlined by my girl Zoe Saldana, Wood Harris and Brian J. White (nope…sadly not me) available on Blu-ray and DVD October 4th.  What’s the film all about?  Well, I’m glad you asked that because I have all that [...]

‘Colombiana’ Is Sexy, Violent, And Average

Colombiana is the latest action/thriller from French producer Luc Besson.  For those unfamiliar, Besson was the director responsible for wonderful action films such as Leon (The Professional) and La Femme Nakita, but has since been known for producing a slew of slick and simple action films such as The Transporter series and Taken.  As usual, [...]

Avatar: Extended Collector’s Edition (Blu-ray Review)

James Cameron’s Avatar has arrived in a very impressive 3-disc Extended Collector’s Edition on Blu-ray.  Some folks will scoff about this being the fourth or fifth (sarcastic) dip since it was first released as a bare bone disc earlier in the year.  Scoff all you want, but James Cameron and Fox did say that this [...]

Takers Gives Back Mediocrity

As the trailer for Takers first rolled some months back, I cringed at the spectacle.  It appeared to be a movie of hipness and not functionality.  It contained a bunch of good-looking guys who aren’t necessarily known for their acting abilities, but more for their chiseled features.  The premise is nothing new.  A crew of [...]

Death at a Funeral Gets a Blu-ray Date!

Martin Lawrence, Tracy Morgan, Zoe Saldana and Chris Rock lead an all-star cast in one of this year’s most outrageous comedies… Death at A Funeral.  And now you can die laughing all over again (see my full theatrical review here) on August 10th when the Blu-ray hits retail shelves everywhere.  The Blu-ray is loaded with deadly [...]

The Losers Come Out Ahead

From the moment I saw the trailer back in January, I was instantly convinced that The Losers was going to be a fun-filled action flick with moments of over-the-top action, a little naughty Saldaña, and a whole lot of happy triggers.  Now it’s three months later and opening weekend for the film and as for [...]

The Losers are Really Winners IMO

Don’t let the movie’s name deceive you.  If you are looking for a wild romping good time this weekend with no brain power required, then look no further than your local cinema to check out Dark Castle’s adaptation of the Vertigo and DC Comics comic book series of the same name, The Losers.  The film [...]

Brian Enjoys Talking About Death at a Funeral

I went into Wednesday night’s screening of Death at a Funeral with a bad attitude.  My day was lackluster.  It was one of those days you just simply eek through life and would rather forget.  So long story short, I went into the preview screening already expecting to hate it.  That’s always a bad thing [...]

Earth Day Release For Avatar Marks Launch Of 1 Million Trees

I know we just posted the press release not so long ago for James Cameron’s monster hit Avatar, but when this press release hit my inbox I instantly had a thought.  What a better way to persuade our eco-friendly writer Gregg Senko into buying this Blu-ray release.  So Gregg…if you are reading this, check out the [...]

Avatar Blu-ray = 40th Anniversary of Earth Day

Summertime arrives early this year for me with last year’s blockbuster film coming to Blu-ray this April.  Actually, isn’t it the biggest grossing film of all time?  Well anyway, the record breaking film needs no introduction.  James Cameron’s Avatar arrives on the Blu-ray/DVD retail shelves of planet Earth everywhere on April 22nd.  If that day doesn’t [...]

‘Avatar’ in 3D Stunning, But Tedious

Finally the release date for Avatar arrived.  The street lamp-hung signs at July’s Comic-Con now fulfilled their advertising destiny.  The autumn-released teaser trailers and strategically placed glimpses were no longer needed as the real deal had landed.  Rumors had swirled for months as to how much the film cost.  Some said it was the first [...]

“My Heart Will Go On” with Avatar

For nearly three hours tonight I sat in the movie theater and completely forgot about all of my troubles, all of my worries and nothing else even mattered to me in the world except the universe James Cameron masterfully created in Avatar.  I even forgot I was part of the human race as I sat [...]
