One of the most obvious films to get the Hi-Def treatment, Toy Story is finally out on Blu-ray this Tuesday. I’ll admit I’ve never been much of a Pixar fan, I find most of their films to be technically brilliant but emotionally hallow. I always come away asking myself the same question, “everything is flawless, […]

The Princess and the Frog is a Reference Quality Blu-ray. Michelle’s Review!
Wow, Disney, just Wow! I didn’t see The Princess and the Frog in the theater because the trailers did nothing for me, but wow, I LOVE this movie. It manages to walk that fine line of being completely different from other Disney Animated fare while still adhering to the Disney traditions. The story is perfect […]
Old Dogs doesn’t Show any Blu-ray Tricks. Michelle’s Blu-ray Review
All reviewers have their secret shames, genres they like even though they shouldn’t. My shame is I’m a sucker for cutesy “family” movies. There is absolutely no reason for me to like Old Dogs, it’s formulaic, cheesy, badly acted, but I think it has some heart and is kind of cute. The movie is, what […]
Michelle Says 2012 Blu-ray is Worth your Time, not your Money
I love director Roland Emmerich. I know most critics hate watching summer blockbusters because they lack “substance.” Me, I go to the movies to escape and be entertained. I don’t want to think or be depressed. 2012 was one of my favorite movies last year and yes I even teared up a bit, yes I […]
Michelle Loves Whip It, the Blu-ray Disc? Not so much.
I love me some Drew Barrymore. She’s my white whale, the one actress that I really want to meet. I actually had a chance this year, but couldn’t do it. Her latest effort, Whip It, marks her Directorial Debut and you can see what attracted her to the material. It’s quirky, funny, and different. It’s […]
Here’s a Sneak Peak at next week’s 2012 Blu-ray Release
One of my favorite movies from last year, 2012, is coming to Blu-ray next week. This is a big, dumb, but fun Sci-Fi flick from the man who brought us Independence Day. Director Roland Emmerich is a technical director, so I fully expect this to be a showcase Blu-ray release. The Blu-ray will include something […]
The Simpsons 20th Season Blu-ray is one of the Worst Blu-rays Evah! Michelle’s Review
The Simpsons Season 20 is now on Blu-ray, this special; landmark season gets the Blu-ray release it deserves. It’s packed to the gills with extras including a nice coffee table book that commemorates this milestone, has a 1-hour retrospective, a look at creator Matt Groening, a special look at the China Sweatshop where the animation […]
The Surrogates Blu-ray Release is just Ok. Michelle’s Review
Bruce Willis returns to the action Sci-Fi genre with The Surrogates. In this strange world of the future, people use virtual “avatars,” or “surrogates” to live their “dream” lives. The dream turns into a nightmare when a murder is committed and cover-ups follow. Bruce Willis looks really goofy as his younger Surrogate. This is a […]
Blu-ray Review: Jennifer’s Body a Unique Take on Horror, Michelle’s Review
Jennifer’s Body features Megan Fox in all her HD glory. The recently released Blu-ray features a really nice 1080p transfer and a nice HD Audio soundtrack. The Blu-ray includes both the theatrical and extended cuts on a single disk. The movie takes the concept of mean girls to a whole new or “low” level only […]
Blu-ray Review: Michelle’s Take on G-Force Blu-ray
As many of you know, I don’t review every movie when they are released into the theaters. If a movie looks like something I’d hate, there’s a very slim chance I would waste my time and money to see it on a big screen. Jerry Bruckheimer’s G-Force is such a movie, not only did I […]
Blu-ray Review: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince still Ticks Michelle Off and Blu-ray Doesn’t Help
Lord knows I’m not one who believes movies should be like booksbut watching this movie in the comfort of my own home reaffirms my contention that this is the absolute worse book to movie adaptation I’ve ever seen. I don’t even like the Half Blood Prince book, so I was really hoping they’d take some […]
