In Time Blu-ray Review
by Tim Janson, Critic
(February 09, 2012)
Director Andrew Nicol’s latest film, In Time is a heavy-handed treatise on our class system in America, and particularly sensitive in light of the various Occupy movements that have been staged over the past year. It’s the ultimate battle of the Haves
Nude Nuns with Big Guns Blu-Ray Review
by Tim Janson, Critic
(February 09, 2012)
Every now and then your run across a film that just seems to beckon you forth with an irresistible call that screams, “Watch me!” Such is the case with appropriately named Nude Nuns with Big Guns. A “Nunsploitation” film in the tradition of 1970

DVD Shopping Bag: Valentine’s Day Picks
by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(February 07, 2012)
With Valentine’s Day only a week away we thought the DVD and Blu-ray releases would support a greater selection of love stories from multiple genres. The video store (yeah, remember those?) I used to work in had one of those holiday employee pick boards.
Real Steel Blu-Ray Review
by Tim Janson, Critic
(February 04, 2012)
Rocky! Rocky! Rocky! Wait, I mean Atom! Atom! Atom! It’s an easy mistake to make since Real Steel, based on a 1956 short story by Richard Matheson, borrows just about everything from the Rocky series. Instead of Rocky you have a robot named Atom

DVD Shopping Bag: 100th Anniversary of Universal Studios
by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(January 30, 2012)
There comes a time when you just have to sit and watch that movie. Perhaps you missed it in the theater. It was always on TV, but for some reason you never got to see it from the beginning. My personal favorite is having a job where you have to watch genre
The Dead Blu-Ray Review
by Tim Janson, Critic
(January 25, 2012)
The zombie genre has become the equivalent of a malfunctioning septic tank in recent years with a lot of crap floating around. However, I am pleased to say that is not the case with The Dead, a film that is perhaps the closest throwback to George Romero
DVD Shopping Bag: Godzilla Criterion Blu-ray
by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(January 24, 2012)
I’ve said it once and I will continue to say it as long as they don’t disappoint me. When you pick up a Criterion Collection Blu-ray/ DVD you have to savor it. Savor it as if it were a fine bottle of wine. Because whatever genre the picture is, it isn
Shark Night 3D Blu-Ray Review
by Tim Janson, Critic
(January 22, 2012)
Shark Night 3D is a brazenly transparent attempt to cash in on the success of 2010’s Piranha 3D. However this film lacks the two elements that made that film a surprise hit: Over-the-top gore and lots of nudity. Shark Night 3D has neither and as such
The Scorpion King 3: The Battle For Redemption
by Tim Janson, Critic
(January 17, 2012)
The Scorpion King 3: The Battle for Redemption is the third film in the Scorpion King franchise although it is the first sequel to the 2002 film as the second film was actually a prequel. With the death of his queen Cassandra, Mathayus, the Scorpion King
DVD Shopping Bag: Real Steel Blu-ray
by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(January 17, 2012)
Over the summer we are shown a lot of trailers for the fall and even a few teasers trailers for the winter movies. The old saying goes, “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, and nothing could be further from the truth than that fi
Killer Elite Blu-Ray Review
by Tim Janson, Critic
(January 14, 2012)
Despite the title, Killer Elite has nothing to do with the 1975 film “The Killer Elite” that starred James Caan and Robert Duvall (and was a far better film by the way) other than the fact that both films deal with private assassins who work for covert

DVD Shopping Bag: The Centurions Power Extreme Mini Series
by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(January 10, 2012)
Once again the Warner Archive has released another eighties cartoon series with The Centurions: Power Extreme (seen here on Warner Archive). This is not a collection of the 65 episodes but a mini-series of the first 5 episodes. As a child of the eighties I
The Lady Vanishes Criterion Blu-ray
by Robert T. Trate, Critic
(January 09, 2012)
The Lady Vanishes (1938) marks a changing point in Alfred Hitchcock’s life. It is the second to last film in his British career. After Jamaica Inn (1939) Hitchcock would be bound for Hollywood and emerge as the King of Suspense.

by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(January 03, 2012)
Say goodbye 2011 and hello to 2012. Already our collective attention is turning to Hobbits, Avengers, a new Batman, and of course Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. Those, of course, are the big screen titles for 2012. This being the DVD Shopping Bag I thought I

DVD Shopping Bag: Apollo 18
by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(December 27, 2011)
Welcome to the final DVD Shopping bag of 2011. When you peruse the list below you’ll find little in the way of must have titles. The title of the week is Apollo 18. It was a film that landed over Labor Day weekend and went nowhere. Though by all accounts
Smallville: The Complete Series DVD Set
by Tim Janson, Critic
(December 24, 2011)
When Smallville premiered in 2001 I think most people gave the show very long odds to have much success. I mean here we had a show about Superman as a teen, set completely in Smallville, and with the infamous ground rules that there would be “no tights

DVD Shopping Bag: Fright Night and 3D Home Movies
by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(December 20, 2011)
Last week, DreamWorks released their remake of Fright Night on Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D. I saw the film back in August as it closed out the summer and thought it was the very horror/ comedy it promised to be. I did see the film in 3D and, despite the obligat
Final Destination 5 Blu-Ray Review
by Tim Janson, Critic
(December 19, 2011)
In my review of the last Final Destination film, I commented how I sincerely hoped it was the last film in the worn out series (which it was supposed to be). But obviously New Line and Warner Brothers thought there was still a bit more to be squeezed out
DVD Shopping Bag: The Rocketeer Blu-ray
by Robert T. Trate, Columnist
(December 13, 2011)
One day in 1991, my Dad took my brother and I to see this new superhero movie called The Rocketeer. This was a pretty big deal because in 1991 I was getting to the age where my Dad rarely took us to the movies. I was 16 and most kids my age would have thou
