Wrath of the Titans

(John Delia) 03/29/2012 8:49 AM EDT
This sequel called Wrath of the Titans happens to be one of those films that if you hadn't seen the first one, you may get a little lost in the plot. Not, that the plot is very difficult here, but read the following film description and you male tweens to twenties should get the idea even if you haven't seen Clash of the Titans. A decade after...

South Park: The Complete Fifteenth Season

(John Delia) 03/29/2012 8:47 AM EDT
The boys are back at it again in Blu-ray with the release of South Park: The Complete Fifteenth Season and it's UNRATED. Of course, if you are a fan, you probably already new that. The hilarious fourteen episodes are devoid of ads and any other interference so you don't have a lag in the madness we aficionados have enjoyed for the last ... Read More

The Sitter

(Roger Longenbach) 03/28/2012 8:16 AM EDT
Out on Blu-Ray is the 2011 movie produced and starring Jonah Hill, The Sitter. The plot is very simple. Jonah Hill plays Noah Griffith, a college student dropout who is coaxed into babysitting the kids of a family friend. Things go wrong that night leading to Noah taking the kids out downtown. In fact, it is almost a mirror ... Read More

Casablanca (70th Anniversary Limited Collector's Edition)

(Chris Rebholz) 03/27/2012 10:41 AM EDT
Casablanca is great. It's the quintessential Hollywood film; a classic example of the studio machine: fantastic acting, an artful directorial style, a sentimental score, and a story that will warm the many frozen rivers of your cold, cold heart. It's filled with classic lines ("I stick my neck out for nobody!") and unparalleled dr... Read More

The Muppets

(Roger Longenbach) 03/24/2012 9:10 AM EDT
After a hiatus of twelve years since their last widespread theatrical movie, the Muppets returned to the big screen in late 2011. From an idea hatched by Jason Segel (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I Love You Man) and Nicolas Stoller, The Muppets was an attempt to revive a long-running and storied franchise. Jason Segel may have left clues ... Read More

The Killing: Season One

(Chris Rebholz) 03/23/2012 2:48 PM EDT
AMC has produced some big hits these past few years i.e. Breaking Bad, Mad Men and most recently The Walking Dead. That doesn't mean that everything they touch will take off like a rocket. Case in point: The Killing. A girl is murdered, and the unseen act creates a ripple effect across several socio-economic layers in the excessively bleak... Read More

Wizards

(Chris Rebholz) 03/22/2012 8:57 PM EDT
Ralph Bakshi was never one for "making sense" in his animated features. He preferred stuff you could get expand your mind to: epic fantasy landscapes populated by bizarre creatures with motivations that are never completely clear. This is not meant to sound like criticism however. True, it had made a number of his films extremel... Read More

The Hunger Games

(Nathan M Rose) 03/22/2012 10:37 AM EDT
Typically, when a film is hyped up to the point of almost being a religious experience, it will fail to meet expectations; and only the die-hard fans will like a film despite its flaws. However, this is the exact opposite of The Hunger Games, which is based on the New York Times bestselling young adult novel, by Suzanne Collins. The film... Read More

The Bodyguard

(Chris Rebholz) 03/21/2012 8:13 AM EDT
You could write a whole essay on Whitney Houston's career alone without ever having to mention her numerous acting roles. However, it is 1992's "The Bodyguard" that set her second career in motion. Before delving into that film though, let's note some fun trivia regarding said movie. "The Bodyguard" got generall... Read More

Immortals 3D

(Chris Rebholz) 03/20/2012 3:15 PM EDT
Immortals plays like the illegitimate offspring of 300 and Clash of the Titans, but while it is far better than the latter, it falls short of the former. With this film a weak narrative is overshadowed by showy visuals. Immortals uses Greek mythology as a jumping-off point, but any resemblance to the classic tales are fleeting. The writers behind t...
