Teen Wolf Blu-ray review

Teen Wolf is a sweet film for those of us who grew up with it and can look back at our formative years while watching the movie. But even in the crisp Blu-ray format, the movie looks its age, particularly because of the special effects. Teen Wolf centers on a teenager named Scott (Michael J. ….

The Greatest Story Ever Told Blu-ray review

George Stevens’ five-years-in-the-making Biblical epic The Greatest Story Ever Told comes to Blu-ray with about the same amount of fanfare as the original film release – with a sense of apathy, as the country deals with everything from budget battles to multiple wars. However, that doesn’t take anything away from this grand-scale epic which tells ….

50 Cent’s Gun Blu-ray review

There’s no question that Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (Get Rich or Die Tryin’) isn’t the average rapper-turned-actor. He proves time and again that he’s got the chops as a richly textured thespian. However with Gun – 50’s second attempt at writing projects for himself (the first being Before I Self Destruct) – he’s also proven ….

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice 2-Disc Combo Pack Blu-ray review

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice didn’t shock the box office, even though it was probably one of the better summer films this year, thanks to a bushel of action and special effects, along with Alfred Molina’s well-acted and witty villain, Maxim Horvath. In fact, there’s so many FX shots packed into the 109 minute fantasy almost-epic, that ….

Los Angeles Lakers 2010 NBA Finals Series Collector’s Edition Blu-ray review

With a dramatic tension that would rival most country disputes, the spirited roar of the fans with every basket made, and a video resolution of 1080p, Image Entertainment’s 2010 NBA Finals Series Collector’s Edition Blu-ray – featuring the two years in the making rematch between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics – is ….

White Wedding film review

Jann Turner’s light-hearted comedy White Wedding opens in theaters today, carefully straddling the traditions and perceptions of old South Africa, against the realities of everyday life for its citizens today. It was refreshing to watch a film that portrays an alternative side to the culture – where a new generation desires to show the world ….
