New Blurays to Have iPhone and iPod Touch Interactivity

New Blurays to Have iPhone and iPod Touch Interactivity

This is a cool little bit of news.
Universal (and probably all the big guns will follow suit, with the exception of Sony, perhaps) is pairing some of its upcoming Bluray releases with iPhone and iPod Touch apps that will allow for handheld interaction with the film while you are watching it on the screen.
Namely, for [...]

Fight Club Pummels Its Way to Bluray

Fight Club Pummels Its Way to Bluray

Like it was for many males of my generation, Fight Club was a formative film of my youth. It was brutal, hip, mean and fun — everything that a young teenager aspires to be!
Unlike many other males of my generation, I understood it was satirical and sarcastic, and that fight clubs were indeed not cool [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Standard Operating Procedure (Bluray Review)

Standard Operating Procedure (Bluray Review)

Main Feature
Standard Operating Procedure, directed by Errol Morris, is a documentary film which covers the events surrounding the widely publicized mistreatment of prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Morris is no stranger to controversy as evident by two of his previous films, The Fog of War and The Thin Blue Line, with the latter [...]

Pineapple Express (Bluray Review)

Pineapple Express (Bluray Review)

Main Feature
Two stoners find themselves on the run after one of them witnesses a drug-lord murdering a business rival. James Franco plays drug-dealer Saul Silver and Seth Rogen pretty much plays himself but for the sake of this review his character is named Dale Denton. I must point out that I believe there’s a difference [...]
