I don’t think The Warrior’s Way is a particularly bad film but it is one that was done a bit amateurishly despite the acting talents of Geoffrey Rush and Danny Huston. In regards to the Blu-ray, the features are forgettable but the audio and video transfers are both excellent so the few fans there are for the film, and they are fairly vocal, will certainly enjoy the experience.
“White Collar” The Complete Second Season once again features a fun dynamic with its cast to go along with a season-long story arc intermixed with a few stand alone stories, making it a good combo for both camps. The DVD has a decent amount of special features with the episode commentaries making the highlight reel while the video and audio transfers are adequate all things considered.
I don’t think Sucker Punch is a movie one should be dismissive of. Yes, an argument can be made that this is basically CGI porn and the story can be nonsensical but I think somewhere in here there is a compelling movie, it just gets lost in the CG and fantasy worlds. The Blu-ray itself has decent features and solid audio and video transfers making this a good purchase for fans, though be forewarned, I’m certain a director’s cut will be released at some point down the line.
Unknown isn’t a particularly special film and it’s nowhere near as great or suspenseful as Taken, but on its own, this is a well developed picture that Neeson fans and those who enjoy a simple mystery will find this to be a fine way to spend two hours on a movie night. The Blu-ray has good video and audio transfers but the features are few and far between, unfortunately.
Beastly is a bad movie, of course “I’ve seen worse.” It’s a film that never quite comes together with a laughable story and one-dimensional characters which seem to come straight from a WB television series. The female teen audience I’m sure will eat every bit of this up, for anybody older though, it’s a meandering tale and a film that was only made to cash in on the Twilight craze.
Like him or not, Uwe Boll lives on churning out one crap movie after another, and BloodRayne 3 is no different. Obviously the man has the personality, ego and I guess enough charm to get the financing for his films and this latest, while not completely awful, still wasn’t a good movie at all.
Look, Hall Pass not the best comedy of the year, but it’s definitely one that I think many people will skip over. At least give this one a rent if you’re a fan of The Hangover. Since the special features are pretty much non-existent, and the audio is nothing special, this is a tough sell.
Blood Night: The Legend of Mary Hatchet is a tolerable enough film but it’s definitely one made for the slasher crowd than just the general audience. The acting isn’t the best, though Danielle Harris makes due with what she had, and the kills, while gruesome, aren’t anything memorable.
If you’ve never seen “Supernatural”, give it a shot, especially since every season is finally available on Blu-ray. Overall, this is a worthy package with good audio and video transfers, an OK array of features and since the MSRP is low, I’d say upgrade your DVD copy!
Happythankyoumoreplease does have some clichés but thanks to the writing, directing and performance by Josh Radnor, it stands above the rest making it more memorable than most indie flicks. As far as the Blu-ray is concerned, the video and audio are both alright, although the video transfer could’ve been a heck lot better and there isn’t a whole lot in terms of features.
