Ok, I’m getting a little annoyed with Fox. For some reason they have stopped sending out Blu-rays for review. It’s an alarming, but not surprising trend that studios are cutting critics out; I think this summer is the summer where there have been more Cold Openings than any in recent memory – especially for most […]

Blu-Ray News: X-Men Origins: Wolverine hits Blu-ray/DVD September 15
I’m one of the only critics who liked X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I’m not saying I loved it and it didn’t have numerous problems but as a generic action film I thought it was, Ok. Just not one you run out and see in a theater. The movie made over $175 million so just like all […]
BLU-RAY ANNOUNCEMENT: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Hits Blu-ray/DVD Oct. 20
After all the lip Michael Bay had against HD-DVD a few years ago, I expect every one of his Blu-ray releases to blow my eye-balls out of their sockets. The first Transformers Blu-ray effort was a beautiful picture but a pretty lame Blu-ray package. So I’m real curious to see what they come up with […]
BLU-RAY NEWS: Star Trek comes to Blu-ray/DVD, November 17

MOVIE REVIEWS: Harry Potter and the Half-Baked Prince, The Magic is Gone! Michelle Vents her Spleen!!
I’m assuming people reading this review have read the books – so there will be SPOILERS! I don’t know what to say about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, as a movie it’s a competent, highly watchable and pretty good movie. The problem is the film doesn’t exist in a vacuum – even if you […]
MOVIE REVIEW: By The Hoary Hosts of Hogwarts! It’s Great!
How good is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince? When the movie ended, I still had a third of my drink [the large one] left. That’s happened maybe half-a-dozen times over the last decade, so it’s a pretty good indicator of how engrossed I was in the film. Steve Kloves has once again divined the […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Wingardium Leviosa – Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Soars to New Heights
It’s so hard to believe that it was only eight years ago that we were introduced to the world of Harry Potter. J. K. Rowling produce a series of books about a young boy who realizes that his destiny was to become a wizard. So, we followed Harry Potter to a school of magic known […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Public Enemies, Michelle finally gets around to seeing it!
So far this summer movie season is turning out to be one massive crop of bland, dud. Of course I knew this going into the summer when I wrote a post a few months ago listing the 10 summer movies that I had absolutely no interest in seeing, in that post I also mentioned a […]
MOVIE NEWS: Transformers Kills at the Box Office, Screaming Babies be darn!
Screaming babies and bad scripts be darned. People like to see Robots fighting. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen took in $112 million in the sequel’s first weekend and $201.2 million since opening Wednesday, according to Sunday estimates from Paramount, which is distributing the DreamWorks movie. Now playing in almost every other country except India, the […]
MOVIE REVIEW: The Correct Title should be Transformers: Overkill of the Fallen
Words cannot describe the horrors that was witnessed while watching the latest film from Director Michael Bay. Normally, one would expect to see a great summer blockbuster and a great sequel to boot. Unfortunately, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen fails to impress summer movie audience. With its six acts within two plus hours of boring […]
MOVIE NEWS: New G.I. Joe Trailer!
The more I see of it, the more I’m strongly disliking the new G.I. Joe movie. I just can’t stand these stupid, cheesy looking Super Suits they are wearing. They look more ridiculous when they are going up against normal, non-suit wearing Cobra folks and still getting their butts handed to them. I do like […]
