High Definition Optical Discs (Blu-ray and HD DVD)
We’ve all been wondering what Dish Network’s plans were for Blockbuster ever since the acquisition earlier this year. Just a few minutes ago, details were unveiled for the Blockbuster Movie Pass subscription which will include DVD, Blu-ray, Games, in-store exchanges and on-demand streaming for $10 a month. The catch is that this plan is only available to Dish subscribers, some […]
Read moreI can’t remember the last time we had so many releases in a week, it’s been a while. Still, not much really jumps out at me. A couple great TV series with Sons of Anarchy and House getting ready for their new seasons. Then there’s the new Children of Corn, what is that, number 25? A couple of good animated […]
Read moreAnother week with not a lot of new releases. The Beaver stars a depressing Mel Gibson who talks via a hand puppet I believe, not sure. Troll Hunter looks thoroughly low budget. Swingers and Breakfast at Tiffany’s are classics. If you liked Super Size Me, a new documentary by the same creator is out, The Greatest Movie Ever Sold. All […]
Read moreA lot of reissues this week, with Demolition Man seriously at the top of my list (let the flogging commence). Dexter Season 5 is out getting you even more anxious for the next season around the corner, and then a lot of grim suspense or horror movies. I had high hopes for Priest, a futuristic take on vampires…and it severely […]
Read moreAnother good film for 80’s films with Dazed & Confused and Fast Times At Ridgement High. It’s fun watching those films today and seeing just how many of those actors became big stars over the years. One final note…I saw “Super,” and it is deceptively violent and very adult natured, so don’t be fooled by the comic book theme–I somewhat […]
Read moreLots of releases this week. Eastbound & Down is one of the most hilarious comedy shows on TV, so if you’ve missed it or never gave it a shot, please do. The Conan movies (the original, not this crap remake garbage) starred the Governator himself back in the day; the movies weren’t phenomenal but they were very entertaining…and hey, they […]
Read moreThis was a tough week to pick, and not because of a lack of options. National Lampoon’s Animal House is arguably one of the best college-type comedies of all time, and John Belushi is absolutely hilarious in it. Then if you wanted to pick a fast new action film, Source Code looked like a decent offering as well. Donnie Darko […]
Read moreNot a bad week of releases with a fair number of old films released on BD, such as the classic Boyz N the Hood and Amelie, sprinkled in with some new comedies such as Peep World and Take Me Home Tonight–which was decently amusing assuming you can stand Topher Grace for that long. Oh, and if you haven’t had enough […]
Read moreDo you love Russel Brand so much and wish there was a movie where basically he just plays himself for a full 90 minutes? Then you’re in luck, as “Arthur” is just that, where he plays a rich heir to a lot of money who falls in love with some poor girl. If you only kind of enjoy Brand or […]
Read moreI hope other companies see things like this and can understand just why Netflix is so beloved by consumers. Not only do they provide an awesome service at a great price, but they’re not trying to nickel & dime their customers at all. Are there people taking advantage of the Netflix streaming limits and sharing accounts? Probably. But I guarantee […]
