BLU-RAY NEWS: The Spirit Is Out Today
While I get settled into my Florida routine I’m not able to give you the in-depth Blu-ray review that you’ve come to expect. The fine folks at Lions Gate sent me a copy, unfortunately it’s sitting at my DC Home, but I do have it in my Netflix Que and should get it in a […]

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: Michelle looks at Zodiac!
I’ve never met him, but David Fincher is one dark guy. This is the man who did Seven, which I loved, Fight Club, which I loathed, Zodiac. No wonder he followed that up with the Oscar nominated The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. But this review isn’t about his latest epic; it’s about his last […]
Blu-Ray Review: Michelle looks at High School Musical 3: Senior Year, Deluxe Extended Edition!
I watched High School Musical in 2006 when it first came out on The Disney Channel. I’m a sucker for musicals and the teen romance. At the time, I was, meh, about it. It was fine for what it was, but I had no idea it would explode into the phenomena that it has. It’s […]

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, […]
BLU-RAY REVIEW: Rent Final Broadway Performance
For a show that I claim to hate, I have somehow managed see the show at least three times – not on broadway, though. As I’ve said on numerous occasions, I hate almost all the characters because they are whiny, pretentious and self involved. But the high points outweigh the story. After all of these […]
BLU-RAY NEWS: Best Blu-rays of 2008
2008 started off great for Blu-ray backers when they won the non-war with HD-DVD. We consumers expected this fight to last awhile but was surprised when it barely lasted a year. I was firmly on the HD-DVD side of the fence. They had clear standards, when you purchased an HD-DVD disk you knew what to […]
