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.

Until now, Mansquito was my favorite movie title – and favorite creature feature. That honor now goes to Sharktopus. Sharktopus is fun, creative, and cheesy – but cheesy in a very good way. I had a great time watching the movie but was sad by the lack of special features, because I really wanted to know more about this hybrid killing machine.

While the Lord of the Rings Trilogy has already been released on Blu-ray, see my reviews here, here, and here, they were only the theatrical editions which had a lot less story included.

I faced a conundrum with this film. Yep, that’s right. You heard me. I wondered how the heck I was going to enjoy and be entertained by a film about a guy getting his arm stuck under a boulder and ultimately “disarmed.” But on the other hand, I thought of Director Danny Boyle and all the joy he brought me in 2009’s Slumdog Millionaire. Take note. I did not say Trainspotting. I hated that film. And then there’s the six 2011 Academy Awards nods it received. I seriously pondered. Is this film really that good? Inquiring minds…i.e. mine…just had to find out. Continue reading ‘127 Hours (Blu-ray Review)’

There can be a lot of fun had when you put together two different genres of film. In the case of The Adjustment Bureau, a romance story is mixed with sci-fi fundamentals. I put romance before sci-fi, because this film is very much a love story that happens to have a sci-fi twist and not the other way around. I have a feeling many will be expecting more of a thriller, based on the marketing, but this film is a story about two people trying to overcome their odds to be together.

There is definitely no urgency to see the movie Urgency. The direction of the movie was disappointing and (aside from Brian Austin Green), the acting was not believable at all. Even worse, the film was full of silly things that made this serious drama turn into a comedy because I kept chuckling out loud at the stupid oversights and plot errors.

I’m gonna start off big with this one partner – Rango is the best film I have seen so far this year. I absolutely loved watching this movie. It is incredibly well crafted, scored, gorgeously animated, funny, and handled wonderfully in its action. It is also quite weird, in a good way. For a major studio release, which will mostly be seen by kids, there is a lot of weird and satirical humor layered throughout this film, yet it all works so well. Rango is a fantastic western adventure comedy that will hopefully be enjoyed by many. Continue reading ‘A Fistful of ‘Rango’’

My all time favorite mini-series is Band of Brothers hands down. So when I heard that Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks were gearing up to make The Pacific, I was ecstatic. While Band of Brothers took place in the European Theater, The Pacific focuses on our war with Japan and the brutal fighting done island by island on the way to Japan. When the series was finally released, I signed up for a trial period with HBO just to watch it. Continue reading ‘The Pacific (Blu-ray Review)’
