Toy Story 3 is making its way to your home on November 2nd, and there is finally some word on the release, the special features, and the purchasing possibilities. Not only is the release loaded with bonuses, as we have come to expect from Pixar, but you'll have the chance to get a great box set with all three films. Check out all the info below, and mark your calendars. They’re back! Walt … [Read more...]
Recent Batman incarnation, Batman: The Brave and The Bold is out on DVD with Season One - Part One, giving you the opportunity to own the first 13 episodes of the animated series. It's an interesting series, and if you've missed out thus far, this is a good chance to see what you've missed. In many ways a throwback, the tone and animation style are rather different than many of the recent Batman … [Read more...]
The Lord of the Rings trilogy releases tomorrow, September 14th, as individual Blu-Ray titles, and I have a great giveaway to help celebrate the fact. One lucky winner will receive all three films on Blu-Ray, plus an assortment of other goodies. Below you can find information on the three films, and the special features available for each, plus some videos, then I'll let you in on the details … [Read more...]
Rarely have I seen a show that seemed to have so much potential on paper, while at the same time managing to convince me that so little of that potential will ultimately be realized. The outline of Running Wilde may not exactly jump out at me - the wacky love-interest angle between the rich, spoiled son of an oil tycoon, and the (let's face it) laughably liberal girl who got away when the two … [Read more...]
I'm actually not much of a Hilary Swank fan, and I'm even less a fan of films that drag out legal dramas, especially when they're based on true stories, but something about Conviction looks pretty interesting. It may be that Sam Rockwell is in it, or the unique curiosity of fighting the legal fight by way of taking the time to go to law school to do it, but whatever it is, this one should … [Read more...]
The insanity is back as the gang from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia returns for season five. The Blu-Ray and DVD release will be available September 14th, and I'll have a review shortly, but right now I have three copies of the DVD for you to win. Hey-oh! It’s time for another round of outrageousness as the irrepressible gang returns—more rude, crude, dysfunctional, and downright … [Read more...]
Solitary Man is a very familiar film on the surface, appearing to give us a rather simple story of mid-life crisis gone horribly wrong. Ben Kalmen (Michael Douglas) was a very big man almost seven years ago, but the time we're going to spend with him is near the end of a bizarre tailspin. The film opens with the song "Solitary Man," which is either brilliant, or horribly lazy, because the song … [Read more...]
If you didn't get enough of your favorites, and/or weren't necessarily a huge fan of how the Top 10 was whittled down to the Top 4, you're in luck. America's Got Talent's Top 10 are going on tour. Kicking off on October 1st, your favorite performers will embark on a whirlwind tour hitting 25 cities in just over a month. I think we all know Jeremy should have made the finals, but you can still … [Read more...]
The third season of Gossip Girl was an odd one, especially at the start, but for all that you may love, hate, or feel great guilt over your love for the show, even I have to admit to a grudging respect for it. That's especially true following a season that seemed to spin out of control in some early effort to transform, and then caught hold of itself, returning (generally) to the path and writing … [Read more...]
I know a lot of people have a sort of love/hate relationship with Stephen Frears, but wherever you may rank such films as - Dangerous Liaisons, The Grifters, High Fidelity, The Snapper, Dirty Pretty Things, and many more, you've got to admit that at the very least the subject matter is going to be interesting. This holds true of the upcoming Tamara Drewe, based on Posy Simmonds' graphic … [Read more...]
None but the Lonely Heart finds Cary Grant in a role that many will find surprising, not only because his famous smile makes only rare appearances, but because, legend or not, his roles are not known for their complexity of range. While you may find him in varied roles, each is somewhat straight-forward. Not so with Ernie Mott, a kind of likable, mostly harmless ne'er-do-well who surprisingly aims … [Read more...]
You've probably already heard me say that PSYCH has let me down once or twice this season. It's still easily one of my favorite shows, but a couple of episodes struck me as not quite being up to par. Last week's episode delivered the goods, and tonight's summer finale One, Maybe Two, Ways Out is among the best the series has produced. With Nestor Carbonell returning, and Franke Potente … [Read more...]
Alpha and Omega, the new animated adventure from Lionsgate, is hitting September 17th, and I've got a new clip. More importantly, I wanted to put the trailer up again, and give you a look at some of the info and images for the film again, because I don't want this one to fall through the cracks. It's a notoriously iffy time at the box office, with more push coming before and after … [Read more...]
