Alright, summer is finally over and all I can do is give a big sigh of relief. I feel the same way when it comes to this latest addition to the Rom-Com category. After a few viewings of the trailer I had to say that I was a little worried. Mostly because it felt like Going the Distance was just the first of many that would try to cash in on the crowd the (500) Days of Summer left behind. I’m happy to say I was wrong and the only thing Going the Distance has in common with one of my favorite movies from last year is how...

“I am Pat f***ing Tillman!  Why are you shooting at me?” I remember when Pat Tillman died.  The story was on every major network.  I do not remember stories about him joining the Army, but I am not a football fan so that may have not been news to me.  I also remember when it was reported that he was killed by fratricide (friendly fire) after the government decided to try and make him a hero.  I have seen The Tillman Story twice, and the second time did not lessen the effect that the movie had on me. Pat Tillman...

Machete was born out of a fake movie trailer that ran before Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror in the double feature Grindhouse with Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof.  After seeing the trailer, many fans started asking when they would be able to see the entire movie.  Robert Rodriguez obviously took note because the movie Machete does not disappoint.  I never saw the Grindhouse double feature, mainly because ridiculous amounts of violence and gore are not my cup of tea.  After seeing the real trailers for Machete...

Angela and I had a chance to catch the new George Clooney film, The American. It was nice to see a true film after so much of the fluff this lackluster summer had brought upon us, watch the video below to see why. By Ryan and Angela

Blu Monday for the week of August 31 was short and sweet. We will talk about Harry Brown on Blu-ray and Brothers and Sisters: The Complete Fourth Season on DVD. Video Review Summary: Harry Brown on Blu-Ray: Michael Caine stars in this action-packed story of a man who takes things into his own hands when his friend is killed and the law is no help. Ryan thought that this was an excellent story worth watching over and over again. Caine is at the peak of his career with Harry Brown and the direction was brilliant as well. Even...

Takers is another heist movie, revolving around a group of thieves/BFFs who do jobs every few years. Other hobbies of theirs include wearing suits 24/7 and drinking scotch. All the time. The murder to whiskey ratio of this movie is pretty balanced, I’d say. Anyway, one of their previous heists ended poorly for one of their comrades, Ghost. Ghost is left bleeding out on a fire escape, gets caught, goes to jail and does not pass go or collect $200.  Takers is about what happens once Ghost gets out of jail with a proposition...

You should know by now that Lost In Reviews is a freak for all things LOST, so it was only fitting that we dedicate a whole week just to the release of LOST The Final Season (season six), available on Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday, August 24. Of course, you could pick it up at midnight at your local media store tonight! I will be telling you all about the Blu-ray edition. The first thing you will notice about the package is how small it’s gotten compared to your other Blu-rays, season one through five. Well, you have to take...

You’ve already seen Lottery Ticket. No really, you have. Don’t believe me? If you’ve seen a Friday movie, a ‘Madea’ flick, Barbershop, or Beauty Shop, then you know exactly what to expect out of Lottery Ticket. Here you have the same movie with new characters, new antics, and a couple of questionable attempts at humor that are a little offensive. Lottery Ticket delivers a fairly hum-drum plot. Kevin (Bow Wow) lives with his grandmother in the ‘hood and is a recent high school graduate....

I’m a space nut, not as hardcore as some but I’m quite a fan of NASA and Space exploration. Every time I’m in Orlando I make an effort to make it out to the Kennedy Space center. I’ve seen a shuttle launch which is easily one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Even seeing footage of one gives me goosebumps. I’ve been to the Johnson Space Center the one time I’ve visited Houston. So my interest in the Leonardo DiCaprio narrated Hubble 3D was high from the first trailer I saw for it in front of an Avatar screening...

This week on Blu Monday, we take you through the pros and cons of The Last Song on Blu Ray, Cougar Town Season One on DVD, Ugly Betty The Fourth and Final season on DVD all available on Tuesday, August 17th and Ajami on Blu Ray available on Tuesday, August 24th. Video Summary: The Last Song (Blu Ray): With beautiful visuals and an enjoyable soundtrack minus the songs by Miley Cyrus, the story holds up to the previous Nicholas Sparks’ stories for a good film. The down side is that the star is Miley Cyrus and doesn’t...

At some point in every woman’s life, and probably a man’s as well, it hits us that we don’t have any direction. We sit up and wonder how we got to this point and fondly think back about the days when you used to tell everyone that you have ambitions and dreams of traveling the world, or finding a cure for cancer. Then it hits you, you haven’t done any of that. How could you have just let yourself go like this? Liz Gilbert finds herself in this same predicament after a marriage she is not satisfied with...

Hey man, do you like things that are awesome with snarky humor that would make your mom say, “WHHAAT?!?” and just leave you rolling your eyes in total humiliation? Then you will love, cue the movie guy voice, Scott Pilgrim VS the World!!!! That’s right kids this is the homage to your youth that you’ve been waiting for! Scott Pilgrim vs The World isn’t your typical comic book movie. There are no caped crusaders or robot-powered super heroes in this story. In fact it’s more like 500 Days of Summer...

This week on Blu Monday, we cover the remake, Death at a Funeral, starring Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence and many more. We also cover a few releases from last week (8/3) such as the 1951 beautifully restored Pandora and the Flying Dutchman, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the coup de grace, Kick-Ass on Blu-Ray. by Ryan Davis and Angela Davis

Andre Rand, to most is just another name, but to the people of Staten Island it was the name folklore is made of – a mythical killer that preyed on the weak and wounded. Cropsey explores the man, the myth and the cold hard facts of Rand and the disappearance of 5 mentally challenged children. The name Cropsey was used as a generic name for this so called urban legend. The film feels like a haze of uncertainty that swallows you up with grainy archival footage, eye witness interviews and a chilling stare from the killer...

When I see a new Will Ferrell movie coming out from the guy who brought us Step Brothers andTalladega Nights, I’m expecting a laugh-a-minute gut-busting experience.  Throw Mark Wahlberg into the mix (be still my beating heart!) and how could this possibly get any better?  I keep discovering that those in the “biz” are full of surprises, either to the delight or disappointment of the people who supply their paychecks: the audience.  One thing is for sure, The Other Guys is full of surprises, and has an unexpected...
