Do The Right Thing 20th Anniversary Blu-Ray Review

Do The Right Thing 20th Anniversary Blu-Ray Review

Well 20 years have gone by, time has passed a lot of us by, but the ever vocal Spike Lee and his creations still stand. 20 years later and we have a Anniversary Blu-Ray review of Do The Right Thing. While I could go on and on about the film, that is not the point [...]

FINAL FANTASY VII: ADVENT CHILDREN COMPLETE (BLU RAY) – REVIEW

FINAL FANTASY VII: ADVENT CHILDREN COMPLETE (BLU RAY) – REVIEW

THE MOVIE:
Now is a good time to own a blu ray player Final Fantasy fans.
In 2001, Squaresoft made their first foray into the motion picture industry with Final Fantasy: The Spirits With. With their gorgeous cinematics within the games they made, surely a film made by them would be a phenomenal piece of work? Unfortunately, [...]

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Blu-ray Review)

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Blu-ray Review)

Main Feature (1H 49M 6S)
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines had the unenviable task of following two of the most successful and critically acclaimed Sci-Fi films of all time. Regardless of what this had to offer it was on to a beating from the point of its conception. This is a special effects playground and [...]

Casino Royale (Bluray Review)

Casino Royale (Bluray Review)

Casino Royale Blu-Ray/ Movie Thoughts

We all know that there’s no shortage of Bond movies. Whether you’re watching 007 take on the iron-jawed Odd Job from Goldfinger or the brass-knuckle-adorning Red Grant in From Russia with Love, it’s safe to assume that the day’s winner will celebrate with a shaken – not stirred – martini. [...]

Australia (Bluray Review)

Australia (Bluray Review)

Main Feature
I really wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this film. On one hand I’m a fan of Baz Luhrmann’s previous work especially Strictly Ballroom which I found so refreshing all those years ago and still do. On the other hand I’m not a fan of Nicole Kidman’s acting and from early interviews I couldn’t [...]

There’s Something About Mary (Bluray Review)

There’s Something About Mary (Bluray Review)

Main Feature
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve watched There’s Something About Mary since its cinematic release back in 1998. This was the third directorial success in a row for the Farrelly brothers after Dumb & Dumber and Kingpin and it helped cement the reputation they have today.
Matt Dillon’s stand out performance as [...]

Seven Pounds (Bluray Review)

Seven Pounds (Bluray Review)

Main Feature
There was a time when Will Smith struck me as little more than a black Keanu Reeves. If you look at their careers side by side there are certainly strong similarities. It could be argued that Will Smith’s comedic Fresh Prince character is a more evolved version of Keanu’s Ted Logan. Both actors had [...]

Valkyrie (Bluray Review)

Valkyrie (Bluray Review)

Main Feature

Valkyrie is blessed with some fine acting, especially from the fantastic supporting cast which includes Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, and Tom Wilkinson. I’m a huge fan of Bryan Singer, mainly for what he did with the incredible The Usual Suspects, but despite Kevin Spacey’s best attempts I didn’t like Superman Returns and I saw [...]

Gandhi (Bluray Review)

Gandhi (Bluray Review)

Main Feature
This film, based on true events which had a profound effect on the world, needs little introduction. Gandhi is an epic in every sense of the word from its passionate subject matter to its lengthy three hours running time. The Academy Awards in 1982 were taken over by Gandhi fever as the film picked [...]

The House Bunny (Bluray Review)

The House Bunny (Bluray Review)

Main Feature
I must admit that when I first heard of this film the thought which crossed my mind came in two parts: “This looks like one of the worst films ever,” and, “although, Anna Faris is hot”. The House Bunny is very much cast from the same mold as Clueless and, more recently, Mean Girls. [...]

Redbelt (Bluray Review)

Redbelt (Bluray Review)

Main Feature
Being a fan of the UFC and Mixed Martial Arts in general, I was really looking forward to this film. The beginning indicates that Redbelt has a focus on genuine martial arts and this would certainly separate it from the glamour and fantasy of the likes of The Karate Kid and Kickboxer. The basic [...]

The Punisher (Bluray Review)

The Punisher (Bluray Review)

Main Feature
The Punisher is one of my favorite comic-book characters for the simple fact that he is an anti-hero who doesn’t have any super powers. Frank Castle, with his martial arts expertise, incredible physical endurance, and all-round toughness is pretty much Batman minus the fancy dress costume and handy gadgets.
It always amazes me when anyone [...]
