Firebreather is the latest offering from Cartoon Network. It was released as a one-shot film with the potential for a spin-off series. It was very successful and upon it’s release it garnered 3.7 million viewers. Those are some very impressive numbers considering it was just one film and the fact that it’s cable television. Cartoon Network has now given us Firebreather on Blu-ray. Read and find out if Firebreather made the successful transition to Blu-ray or just went down in flames.

The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman must be at least a little bit of a good salesman, as he was a founding father in getting the black and white zombie comic to a major cable network (AMC). I say “at least a little” because The Walking Dead is so good, it can practically sell itself. Still, when pitching a comic book to non-comic readers, there is a little marketing to be done. This is where Kirkman and Todd McFarlane’s next project comes into play.

Along with many people with similar interests to me, I am a big video game player. Recently, I have played the latest entry in the Call of Duty franchise, which I have joked around with my friends about how over-the-top all of the action and story moments are. While watching Battle: Los Angeles, I could not help but be reminded of several different video games, along with many other movies. Continue reading ‘Make Sure To Bring A Game Controller To Play ‘Battle: Los Angeles’’

Rachel Bilson and Tom Sturridge may be
Waiting For Forever, but luckily you won’t have to wait that long for the Blu-ray to come out in stores! Tom Sturridge plays Will who leads a very uncomplicated life as a street entertainer, but Emma (Rachel Bilson) is quite the opposite. To say she is not complicated would be an understatement. How will the rekindled “friendship” work when many compromises will have to be met and settled?
Waiting For Forever will be released on Blu-ray and DVD by Twentieth Century Fox on May 3rd, 2011.

Are you ready for me yet? Please press record on the tape deck for me. Thanks! Are we on? Okay, good! My name is Brian White and I wanted to go on record by saying that Battle: Los Angeles has been my most anticipated film this year ever since I saw the panel at last year’s Comic-Con (see here). Is that hardcore or what? Okay. You can stop recording this transmission now. Continue reading ‘Battle: Los Angeles is an Epic Winner!’

I’m not sure who I heard it from, but I heard some negative things about Love & Other Drugs. I had heard it was a cookie cutter chick flick where someone was sick and probably spent the movie dying. This couldn’t have been further from the truth. Love & Other Drugs may be a chick flick, but it isn’t formulaic and the sick person is actually more concerned with living her life to the fullest. This is one of the rare occasions I am willing to admit my initial assumptions were completely wrong and I’m glad I watched it.

While walking away from the theater, I was discussing with the person I saw this film with what genre it would be considered. Red Riding Hood is certainly not a scary at all, nor does it have any real tension or suspense. It is not much of a drama, because none of the performers really seemed to be effected very deeply by any of what is happening (murders, weather, etc.). I guess I could say it was a fantasy film, as it does strive to be about a werewolf terrorizing a village, even though the wolf is a horrible computer creation. Really, this film is just a mess.

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 characters, and they really fill the bill! Johnny Depp of course plays the reluctant hero, RANGO, a wanna-be thespian chameleon with some pretty good acting chops. Continue reading ‘RANGO is Fun for the Whole Family!’

I originally had my apprehension about this title when it was first announced, but my fears were quickly subdued when I found out that Amanda Seyfried and Gary Oldman’s names were attached to this project. Gary Oldman goes without saying, but my love for Seyfried is brand new and unfamiliar to me. It’s time to explore that. LOL. My earliest memories of Amanda are from 2008’s Mama Mia. Although at the time I was not a fan of either her or the film, I quickly learned to like her in 2009’s soon-to-be cult classic, Jennifer’s Body. Continue reading ‘Red Riding Hood Has Teeth’

I am really at a loss for what to say about Every Day. The film is full of great actors, and they all performed beautifully. I just don’t see the point of this movie or why all these actors signed on to do this project. I will admit that drama isn’t my favorite genre. I understand that life isn’t pretty and I don’t expect everything to be wrapped up in a nice little bow for me at the end. But the only lesson Every Day seems to offer is that life sucks sometimes and just when you think that it can’t suck anymore – it does.

I was pretty harsh in my initial review of The Tourist last December. I’ll admit it. It’s not that it’s a completely bad movie, but it just had a multitude of potential and all the right ingredients to be so much better than it was. That’s why I initially called it disappointing. So why wasn’t it stellar? Well, that’s what I intend to explore in more detail this second time around with the Blu-ray experience. Three months have past since my initial exposure to the film. I think that’s enough time to be completely objective, don’t you? Continue reading ‘The Tourist (Blu-ray Review)’

Things just keep getting better and better when it comes to the Blu-ray format. Image Entertainment has just released this announcement and it declares that Cowboy Bebop: The Movie will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on June 28th. Here’s hoping that completes series gets released soon after. The best comparison that I can come up with is that it resembles Firefly and Serenity just a little bit. This isn’t a western, though, but does have some attitude. Fans of those should be quick to gobble Cowboy Bebop: The Movie up! Continue reading ‘Cowboy Bebop: The Movie on Blu-ray June 28th’

Years before
Mean Girls there was
Jawbreaker. Rose McGowan stars in this searing dark comedy that features Julie Benz, Rebecca Gayheart and many more familiar faces. “The Beautiful Ones” to be exact. I can’t believe this film came out in 1999. Marylin Manson also has a cameo in the film. If you went to a school like this then all of those pleasant or painful memories will come flooding back in high definition.
