We may be getting to the point that I need to look into a 3D TV. One of my favorites is on its way, and this may be the turning of the tide as far as I'm concerned. Check out the details of the release below. Available For The First Time To Own In Spectacular 3D Presentation, August 30th, 2011 More astonishing and spectacular than ever before, Academy Award® nominated writer/producer Tim … [Read more...]
Stargate Universe was a tricky venture, but a risk I'm glad I got to see for as long as it lasted. The show drew heavy criticism from many franchise fans almost immediately, and never quite got the attention it needed, but it was an entertaining ride. The second, and final, season found our crew battling for control of Destiny, continuing efforts to get home, and running into several time … [Read more...]
As I left the theater after X-Men: First Class, the song Everything Zen by Bush came on, and whether you believe in God, or perhaps just curious brownies who muck with the random feature on iPhones, that was a little weird. The song is only absent from the film's soundtrack, because films aren't allowed to be that self aware. Not only does Charles Xavier wax philosophic about the Zen of mutant … [Read more...]
The more I catch of this film, the more I really start to wonder about the people behind it, and Ryan Reynolds... who seems to think it is awesome. Not that I really have enough to go on, but it is, at the very least, not putting it's best foot forward in my opinion. That is, if we're working on the theory that it really is fantastic. I'm based though, because Green Lantern has always been one … [Read more...]
As Father's Day approaches, you know certain releases are timed to hopefully inspire a no-brainer attitude. While such marketing of reissues and bonus pack releases often leaves me rolling my eyes, it's hard to argue with The Outlaw Josey Wales Blu-Ray. Somehow, both quintessentially western and almost western by technicality alone, few films have ever managed (or attempted) such a seemingly … [Read more...]
I was pretty happy with the first season of Masterchef, despite the change in format from the BBC show I was expecting, and season two is just about to hit you. Premiering tonight, June 6th, and continuing the initial round on June 7th, the second season is, according to the judges, offering up even more talent. Of course, this is a show that doesn't allow for much comment on the season based … [Read more...]
Well, not everything went exactly as my nomination votes would have indicated, which is how it should be, but the nominations for the first Critics' Choice Television Awards are here. ABC is going to love the fact that they received the most nominations, but let's keep that in perspective, because Modern Family received six of those sixteen nods. And, while there might be strong overall numbers … [Read more...]
After getting a lot of attention at Sundance this year, Terri is coming your way, and I'm really hoping this is one that won't get lost in the shuffle leading into the big summer titles. If nothing else, I can't remember a film with John C. Reilly that wasn't well worth the time, but beyond that, this one has a lot of positive reviews. Take a look at the new poster, a slew of images, and the … [Read more...]
Nathan Fillion has fans from so many places by now that anything he does is guaranteed to draw a pretty sizable crowd. He's part of the upcoming Green Lantern extravaganza, which not only includes the major theatrical release, but Green Lantern: Emerald Knights which hits on Blu-Ray, DVD, On Demand, and Download June 7th. The last Green Lantern animated release was impressive to say the least, … [Read more...]
I Am Number Four is a strange release, and a film that seems out of place in today's market. Not only is it a bit heavy on the High School, but we are not in a time that is desperate for superhero releases. Despite the fact that it is striking in the oddity of its development, and that there are a great many factors that lean heavily toward the goofy side of things, it's hard to deny that it has a … [Read more...]
