The Wuthering Heights Blu-ray Review

The Wuthering Heights is one of many Emily Bronte adaptations and this one is finely acted by Timothy Dalton and Anna Calder-Marshall. The Blu-ray release is basic with so-so video and audio transfers while the features are light.

Review: Penny Dreadful: The Complete Series BD + Screen Caps

I don’t think Penny Dreadful quite met up to its potential but with a fine cast headlined by Timothy Dalton, Eva Green and Josh Hartnett, to go along with impressive set and costume designs, it’s certainly more than watchable. This Complete Series set is very much for those who don’t already own the individual releases and it is at a reasonable price.

Review: Toy Story That Time Forgot BD + Screen Caps

Toy Story That Time Forgot isn’t as good as Toy Story of Terror but it’s still a fun little short special where you get to see our old friends together again with a nicely constructed story and good voice work, in particular Kevin McKidd.

What stands out from the others even in the pay television venue is the performances from a cast of who’s who including Timothy Dalton, Josh Hartnett and Eva Green, the latter whom well deserving of a Golden Globe nomination.

Toy Story of Terror Blu-ray Review

Toy Story of Terror is another solid entry in the franchise with some great humor and some decent, kid-friendly, terror. It’s also wonderful that they manage to get the cast back even in limited roles rather than go the cheaper/easier route with voice imitators.

Secret of the Wings Blu-ray Review

Disney’s latest installment in the Tinker Bell Faries line, Secret of the Wings, is a nice little movie that the entire family can watch, though it is still geared towards younger children – and Disney fans of all ages.
