Rating-Some Ole' Bullsh*t!!   I'm not going to lie: I do not find Megan Fox actractive at all. No, its not because of her toe-thumbs (though those don't exactly help) it's because of horrible an actress she is. Okay, in this movie you have Megan Fox playing the typical snobish high school cheerleader who gets possessed by a demon after a fire, now her friend Needy (played by Amanda Seyfried) must stop her from eating everyone. Sounds interesting right? Well, at some parts…

Rating-F**K YOU!!!   Okay! Who's bright idea was it to turn a series with over 50 episodes that run at half an half hour each into a 90 minute film?! This film is directed by M.Night Shaymalan who most people remember from really good films such as The Sixth Sense, Signs, and the god-awful The Happening. His strengths are that he works really well with actors, he knows how to set up twist and surprises. In this film however, you hav none of those. Instead all you get is…

Rating-(Low)Matinee'   Savages tells the story of a woman and her two boyfriends who run a successful drug business. The cops don't care, and their business really isn't that violent... that is until the Mexican drug cartel shows up and is like "you are going to come work for us, and if you say no we kill you." Naturally the two friends are like "No, fuck you." The cartel retaliates by kidnapping their girlfriend, now they must get her back.   So how did this film…

Rating-Matinee'   Resident Evil Damnation takes place between Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6, it's plot is that Leon Kennedy has been inserted to a fictional war torn country, there are two factions: The asshole government and the asshole rebels. He is to stop their usage of B.O.Ws (Bio-Weapons), why he didn't arrive with an army to stop this is never truly explained. Come to think of it, the plot itself, while well told and well written, contains numerous plot holes…

Rating-Rental  …

After fighting through two Ice Age sequels and a semi-enjoyableRobots the people at Blue Sky Studios and director Carlos Saldanha finally put out a quality film reminiscent of the originalIce Age .

Rio is the story of Blu (voiced by Jesse Eisenberg), a domesticated blue macaw from Moose Lake, Minnesota who is brought to his native…

SUPERMAN ANTHOLOGY (Blu-Ray)

I'm as subject to overwhelming floods of emotion due to nostalgic attachment as the next guy, and what does it for me is often the all-too familiar leitmotifs in movie and television show themes. Of all of…

This is kind of an odd week, with very few wide release films coming out for home theaters, but maybe that's because nobody wants to compete with the main contender, Cyrus' most anticipated film on blu-ray, the best Pixar movie ever and, duh, his...

Yet more delayed reviews...

THE LAST UNICORN (Blu-ray and DVD)

I know it sounds like the girliest thing ever, but if you're even vaguely a fantasy or animation fan, it's imperative that you take me at my word that the 1982…

Yet more catch-up. *sigh*

48 HOURS (Blu-Ray)

I know Eddie Murphy is a sad shadow of his former self these days, having not actually been more than…

I never got to do the full-on catch-up of some titles along the way that I wanted to, but here are some titles that I missed from the last two months that need mention....

GAME OF DEATH (Blu-Ray and DVD)

No, this isn't a remake of the famously unfinished Bruce Lee film. Seems to me that putting a celebrity known for their martial…

That's right kids, it's time for another weekly glance at the NEW RELEASES on DVD and Blu-Ray at your local home vide...erm...hmmm. I guess, a look at the stuff that just came out that you can actually buy/stream now. Not a lot of local home video stores around so much anymore. But first, let's lead this off as usual with a look of the best of the best in weekly viewing/buying choices, the...

I can't imagine having gone through my rebellious teenage years without the influence of the great post-modernist…

REPO CHICK (Blu-Ray and DVD)

While Alex Cox's 1984 film "Repo Man" might be the very best cult…

Being a child of the 90s, I grew up with some great shows. While most of them had little influence on me, some of them stood out and help shaped my world views and interests. One such show is none other than ReBoot.

ReBoot is about the world inside your computer. Everything has a different representation in…

Let's get this party started WITH...

NEVER LET ME GO (Blu-Ray and DVD)

After watching this 2010 sort-of science fiction film by director Mark Romanek, I'm not surprised at all that he…
