“Camelot” The Complete First Season had plenty of potential but thanks to a few miscasting of roles and poor writing all of it was wasted. Where the series does excel is due to the costume and production designs as well as the performances from Joseph Fiennes and Eva Green but otherwise this is a waste of time.

Despite my criticisms of the directing techniques employed for the film, A Horrible Way to Die is actually not that bad of a film. It is not exactly what I expected, which is a good thing, but it also lacks a certain momentum and is a bit slow to develop and maintain. The acting, mainly by relative unknowns, are all very good and the story itself, when you strip away the unnecessary cutting back and forth in time, is also well done.
Hostage is an effective enough thriller with Willis fitting into his role of a worn out veteran cop like a glove, heck probably better than in Live Free or Die Hard even, but the story itself doesn’t quite past muster despite some decent performances from the supporting cast.
Despite some plot holes, Hanna is an entertaining film with three great performances from Saoirse Ronan, Cate Blanchett and Tom Hollander and a serviceable one from Eric Bana. As for the Blu-ray, the video is fantastic, the audio is bombastic and some of the best lossless audio I’ve experienced in a while and the features are alright if not forgettable.

Prom is a mediocre film, with poor picture quality and a short amount of special features. This won’t be a top buy, but I wouldn’t ignore it completely. I’d say give this one a rent… you might be surprised.
“Justice League” remains one of the best animated series ever made with some great action scenes intermixed with compelling stories and character development rarely seen in the genre. This season is probably the best but the remaining two, under the title “Justice League Unlimited” are still fantastic viewing. With regards to the Blu-ray I’m happy to report we finally got a proper widescreen transfer.
If you’ve stuck with “Gossip Girl” so far, you’re likely going to enjoy Season Four a bit more than Season Three. While it’s nowhere near the awesomeness of Season One, it was still a fun ride. With a huge cast of new characters for season five, and the dropping of 3 original cast members, I look forward to what’s coming up.
Wrecked is the kind of film that excels thanks to a singular performance from Adrien Brody while the screenplay and story doesn’t quite hold up and in fact kind of meanders throughout the 90-minute running time. On the whole, it’s not a bad movie but it’s certainly slow moving and I can’t say I will be revisiting it any time soon.
