The much anticipated TRON sequel, TRON: Legacy is finally upon us. Will it live up to the hype, or even the joy the original brought to nerds in 1982? Watch our video review for all the details.
TRON brought back Kevin Flynn and Allen Bradley from the original TRON, which was fun to see them all grown up, twenty seven years later. The story centers around Kevin’s son, Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) doing his best to wreak havoc on his father’s company, now in the hands of some evil guy. He follows a page from his Dad...

This week on Blu Monday, Ryan and Josh talk about the much anticipated Inception, Guillermo del Toro’s first film Cronos: The Criterion Collection, Knight and Day and Going the Distance, all on Blu-ray of course.
Knight and Day: Starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz.

By sheer luck this week, we were only asked to review a bunch of Disney movies and documentaries. Luckily, we really liked them. First we talked about this year’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice on Blu-Ray, starring Jay Baruchel and Nic Cage, the crazy man that he is. Next we talked about Fantasia and Fantasia 2000, who have been loved by many children and are now together in the Diamond Edition on Blu-Ray. As for the documentaries, we have Waking Sleeping Beauty, The Boys: The Sherman Brothers’ Story and Walt and...

For the week of November 23rd, Ryan and Angela discuss the pros and cons of Flipped, Eat Pray Love, Santa Paws, Cats and Dogs 2: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, Dr. Who The Complete Fifth Series, and the Extended Blu-ray Collector’s Edition Avatar. With all these Blu-rays this week, it’s no wonder why this is called the Face Melting Edition.
Flipped: While Ryan just fell in love with the story by the one and only Rob Reiner about young love and it’s interesting look at perspectives, the special features left a...

Check out our video review for the new political thriller Fair Game coming out November 19th. This is an important film based solely on true events about Valerie Plame (Naomi Watts) in 2003, when she was outed as CIA by the White House officials, in order to shut up her husband, Joe Wilson (Sean Penn) for shouting that the government was lying for their reasons for entering Iraq. It is a fast-paced political mind warp and will probably leave most shell shocked at how manipulative and evil our own government has become. I urge...

When walking in to see Conviction, we knew we were most likely going to be seeing an Oscar contender. However, we were also hoping we would be seeing Sam Rockwell in something that the Academy would notice him for, since they so boldly decided to snub his fantastic performance in the one man show that was Moon last year. Although he was fantastic in his role as the “wrongfully” convicted Kenny Waters, it was Hilary Swank as his sister Betty Anne Waters that really blew everyone out of the water. Don’t be surprised...

The Social Network is David Fincher’s latest project telling the story of Mark Zuckerberg and the creation of Facebook; as well as all the lawsuits that followed him afterward. The film stars Jesse Eisenberg as Zuckerberg with perfection. The film also stars Andrew Garfield as Mark’s best friend and CFO of Facebook, Eduardo Saverin. From their dorm room at Harvard, Mark creates Facebook and quickly watches it explode to other elite schools where Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake) seeks an interest in his creation.

Let Me In is based on the Swedish original, Let The Right One In. If you haven’t seen the original version, we can honestly say you might just love the remake, Let Me In. However, having been fans of the original enough to own a copy, part of us couldn’t help but compare it to the original. While parts of the remake were really good and original, bigger parts were just ridiculous with the overuse, and lack of care taken with the CGI. Please watch our video review, as we argue over the pros and cons of Let Me In coming...

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...
