What can you say about a movie like The Expendables? It’s a movie that would have been so amazing to see about seven or ten years ago when this great ensemble of action stars where kicking ass and taking names in their prime. As it is watching the movie feels like watching nostalgia and that’s […]

Step Up 3 without the 3D Works on Blu-ray! Michelle’s Review!
I’m not ashamed to admit it, ok, a little ashamed but I’ll say it anyway. Step Up 3D was one of my favorite movies of 2010 and definitely the best 3D Movie that I’ve seen all year. I’ve always liked the Step Up franchise for what it was. No it’s not cinema at its best, […]
Don’t Dream it! The Rocky Horror Picture Show is on Blu-ray! Michelle’s Review!!
A movie that transcends the ability to properly review it, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is finally out on Blu-ray. I’m sure phrase, “It’s so bad it’s good,” was invented for this movie. Sure Ed Wood probably set that bar, but The Rocky Horror Picture Show; well, there are very few words that can describe […]
The Runaways is a Rocking Blu-ray, Michelle’s Review!
I’ve made my dislike of Kristen Stewart known to anyone who would care to listen, I’m big enough to admit when she does good work in The Runaways is strong. She still comes across as a poser – a spoiled suburban girl who desperately wants to show us her angst. The first 1/2 hour of […]
When In Rome isn’t saved on Blu-ray. Michelle’s Review
I think it’s time for me to say, Kristen Bell is not a movie star. While I loved Veronica Mars, that show worked well because it had a strong supporting cast, good direction, and good stories, not because Kristen Bell carried the show. As someone who really wants to go to Rome someday, I looked […]
From Paris with Love a Fun Blu-ray Ride. Michelle’s Blu-ray Review
After the recent tragedy in his life, it’s easy to see why John Travolta take on the part of over the top crazy CIA agent Charlie Wax. He’s having fun again and it shows on screen in his every action. From Paris with Love is a movie that you don’t take serious, you just watch […]
Alice in Wonderland fails on Blu-ray, Michelle’s Review!
You have to hand to Disney; they really are treating this Blu-ray release like a million bucks. Almost every day last week they had arranged internet chats with several of the production folks involved (but hey, no Tim Burton or Danny Elfman?), provided a ton of clips and more. I actually got excited for this […]
The Wolfman Blu-ray takes a bit out of Michelle.
A few years ago I took one of those Who is your Celebrity Match quizzes and Benicio Del Toro came up as my match. I was like, hmmm… A tortured, pretentious artist is my match, I can see it but at least he looked good. Now 10 years later Benicio has completely let himself go […]
Legion is a nice Blu-ray set for a bad movie. Michelle’s Review!
I wanted to see this movie in the theater but the trailers turned me off and I just couldn’t get excited enough to go to one of the advanced screenings. I love the idea of this movie – I mean how can you not like Evil Angels who want to bring on the Apocalypse? Director […]
Twilight Saga: New Moon Blu-ray Review
I’m not going to rehash how much I truly dislike Bella and basically the entire Twilight Saga. Not only that, but I strongly dislike Kristen Stewart, her off screen Moody actress persona who always has to twist her hair seems fake. Watching this movie makes me want to put a bullet in my mouth (not […]
Toy Story 2 Blu-ray Gets an Early Review by Michelle!
Can I get away with just copying and pasting everything I said about the Toy Story 1 Blu-ray release into this review of Toy Story 2? Yes? Great! To re-cap, I don’t like Tom Hanks and think most Pixar Films are technically brilliant, I love the writing on almost all of their movies but I […]
