New Moon is a better film than Twilight in every single way and the Blu-ray shows Summit knows what they’re doing. The only downfall is the lack of extras, mainly to appease retailers who want to earn business by offering up store exclusives.
Greed is the root to all evil. That’s the basic premise to Armored, an old-school heist movie that doesn’t pretend to be anything else. The film is only 88-minutes long (including end credits) and it’s only about the half-way point where the movie really kicks in.
I don’t even know where to begin with Did You Hear About the Morgans? Well, for starters, I don’t find Hugh Grant the least bit entertaining. The same goes for Sarah Jessica Parker, yeah okay I watched “Sex in the City,” yeah okay I watched every episode because I was forced to, and it was a decent show.
Before I begin this review, let me preface it by saying I was a huge fan of the first The Boondock Saints. Now that I’ve said that, let me say that the sequel, Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day is nowhere near to the caliber of the first flick in any way shape or form.
Who in the world thought that making Where the Wild Things Are into a movie from a book should be banished from the creative field forever. The movie isn’t kid or adult friendly in the slightest, as I would think that kids would be bored and adults… well the same thing.
Although the studio behind Planet 51 isn’t anywhere near the big boys club of Pixar and DreamWorks both in terms of animation and story [...], when you just take it on its own merits, the movie isn’t half bad. There’s some fun jokes for the adults but will still keep younger kids entertained.
Overall, Old Dogs might not be the best comedy and is in fact pretty damn lazy writing in terms of plot, but I managed to laugh a few times times throughout. I’m in no way giving this a whole-hearted recommendation, but I thought it was far better than I had expected it to be.
As you may (or probably have not) noticed, Movieman’s Guide to the Movies now has 1080p screen captures and will be slowly adding more in the coming months. You can see what’s available within the main menu under “BD Screen Caps”. Enjoy!
This is just a quick head’s up, I have finally updated the Blu-ray and DVD release schedules.
A year after already releasing Grumpy Old Men on the Blu-ray format, they are re-releasing it again this time with the underrated sequel, Grumpier Old Men. Most of the time this would anger me, but given the low SRP ($24.98 at the time of this writing), if the price gets low enough (~$12), it will be worth picking up just for the sequel.
