It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia: A Very Sunny Christmas Blu-ray review

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia: A Very Sunny Christmas may not be the best introduction to the uninitiated. The episode was directed by Fred Savage, who uses the straight-to-disc release as a chance to play up the hallmark risqué humor of the show, with mixed results. For those who don’t know, It’s Always Sunny In ….

Up Blu-ray review and Russell voice actor interview

Simply put, Pixar’s run of excellence continues with their latest touching tale, Up. The film is a wondrous and rousing adventure, complete with heart-rending statements about the limitations and hopes of one’s life. Pixar has also added enough billowing adventure for virtually anyone to enjoy. Up opens with a biographical sequence that introduces Carl and ….

Charles calls Zombieland a hilarious “Romantic Zombedy”

The rules to a good zombie flick: Lots of “Blood & Gore” (and I don’t mean Al) – Check! Speedy undead feverishly chasing their next human meal – Check! Romance – Check!…Wait…WTF? – Zombieland: A Love Story Ok, so they created a new genre: Romantic Zombedy. Not surprising, since it was originally supposed to have ….

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Ultimate 2-Disc Edition Blu-ray review

When I first watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine, I didn’t think it was nearly as bad as some reviews claimed it to be. Predictable… yes. Somewhat campy… sure. But it was a highly produced movie that was fun enough to watch on the big screen. In fact, I would recommend viewers considering getting the home release, ….

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 4 DVD review

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia is simply a hilarious show. Yes, somewhat one-dimensional at times, and possibly reaching a crescendo at this point; but an always funny, always inventive quality piece of television. ‘It’s Always Sunny‘ could reinvent itself in future seasons by including some variations on the current characters and maybe even adding some ….

The Legend of Drunken Master and The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi Blu-ray reviews

The Legend of Drunken Master (a.k.a. Drunken Master 2) and The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi are the final two films featured in the Ultimate Force of Four Blu-ray box set, which was released on September 15th (I reviewed Iron Monkey and Hero individually). Here are two more examples of the best of Asian martial arts action ….

Audition (Odishon) 2-Disc Collector’s Edition Blu-ray review

When Audition was released in 1999, it unwittingly became the standard-bearer for the modern horror torture genre. I say that because much of the film centers on the simmering uneasiness of it’s main characters, with only flashes of the depraved cruelty to come towards the end. But in preparing the audience for his artistic debauchery, ….

Clive Barker’s Book of Blood Director’s Cut DVD review

Book of Blood is based on two short stories from the six volume anthology series that helped launch Clive Barker’s now iconic career as a horror fiction writer (the lines at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con probably cemented that status). However the film abandons much of the savagely original noir imagery of The Book of ….
