Inglourious Basterds, one of the best films of 2009 finally comes to the Blu-ray format and I’m glad to say this is one gorgeous looking transfer; I put this in and just went, wow. The colors man, the colors are just so vibrant and alive. The transfer is 1080p, 2.40:1 and includes DTS-HD Master audio […]

Blu-ray Review: Terminator: Salvation isn’t going to save us. Michelle’s Review.
I honestly don’t know what to say about the Terminator: Salvation Blu-ray release other than it doesn’t feel like it’s been thought out and that the “Director’s Cut” of the movie is kind of a joke. This is one of those disks that feels like features were left out to make way for a future […]
Blu-ray Review: Rocky The Undisputed Collection
You young-ins today don’t know how huge Sylvester Stallone used to be. I mean back in the day he was Rocky and Rambo. No matter what you think of him as an actor you have to admire the guts he had to have to get Rocky made. He was a nobody, who wrote this script […]
Blu-ray Review: G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, Most Disappointing Blu-ray Release of 2009
I don’t know what the folks at Paramount are doing these days. First they wouldn’t screen GI Joe: Rise of Cobra for critics during it’s summer run, now they’ve taken it a step further by not sending out review copies of the DVD/Blu-ray to critics – and why should they? The movie still went on […]
Blu-Ray Review: Superman. Batman: Public Enemies
DC Comics and Warner Brothers really know how to do their Animated movies. A few weeks ago they gave us the excellent Green Lantern: First Flight this month we get Superman/Batman Public Enemies. It’s Superman’s worst fear, Lex Luthor has become President of the United States and he just can’t help himself, he uses an […]
BLU-RAY REVIEW: Saturday Night Fever is a Mixed Bag
This Blu-ray starts up right away because it doesn’t include that BD-Java crap. The main menu is simple, clean and features Staying Alive playing in the background right away it puts you in the mood to watch. The Travolta strut at the beginning is still one of the greatest movie openings, ever. I hate that […]
BLU-RAY REVIEW: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Bueller, Bueller, Bueller…. Ferris Bueller is now available on Blu-ray. I’ve always had a weird feeling about this classic 80’s high school comedy. On the one hand I’ve always liked it a lot, but I never “loved” it like everyone else seems to. So watching it again on Blu-ray after all these years, I still […]
BLU-RAY REVIEW: Michelle says Maybe to Yes Man!
Yes, yes, yes! I missed Yes Man when it came out in the theaters, wanted to see it but never got around to it. It came out on the old Blu-ray a few weeks ago and I finally got a chance to watch it this weekend. Jim Carrey is great in this as the guy […]
BLU-RAY REVIEW: Things We Lost In The Fire
I think Sheldon summed this film up perfectly when he says that “Things We Lost in the Fire is a stunning film that does more than just position Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro in the Oscar® race. It’s an affirmation that small things can prevent life from being a bitch. It’s a film that […]
BLU-RAY REVIEW: A Mighty Heart
I just finished watching the depressing Things We Lost In The Fire, how do I follow that up? With the equally depressing, overwrought drama A Mighty Heart, which Angelina Jolie was nominated for her work as the wife of Daniel Pearl an American Journalist working for The Wall Street Journal who went missing for 10 […]
BLU-RAY REVIEW: Eagle Eye, Michelle’s Take
I have two quick Blu-ray reviews for you. First up is last fall’s Eagle Eye featuring EM Favorite and “discovery,” Shia LaBeouf, solidifying himself as an A list action star. I’m still not entirely convinced this is the route he should be going with his career, yes you can’t turn down Transformers or Indian Jones, […]
