The Berlin File DVD Review


Synopsis: Exposed during an illegal arms trade gone wrong in Berlin, a North Korean "ghost" agent finds himself in the cross-hairs of an international manhunt. Was he betrayed by his wife or his country?

Review: The Berlin File is a great new South Korean action epic by director Seung-wan Ryoo.  You may know Ryoo from his other greats like City of Violence and Crying Fist.  This one has everything...betrayl, guns, action..and of course intense chase scenes!  The action is over the top in that fantastic Korean style.  I'm really happy this one was imported over, it was a great watch.

The Lone Ranger (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy) Review



Synopsis: Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer star in THE LONE RANGER, from Jerry Bruckheimer Films and Director Gore Verbinski. It's a wild ride of high-velocity action, explosions and gunfights that brings the famed masked legend to life through brand-new eyes. The Lone Ranger (Hammer), the last of his kind, teams with Tonto (Depp), a dark and mysterious vigilante, to seek vengeance after justice has failed them. It's a runaway train of epic surprises, as these two unlikely heroes must learn to work together before the ultimate showdown between good and evil explodes.

Review: I remember as a kid playing with Lone Ranger toys.  I saw some re-runs of the old show and I dug it a little, but I was never a hardcore fan, by any means.  Then, I saw that Johnny Depp was going to star in this remake and that it was being done by Disney....that sold me immediately.  I knew that he would make it fantastic, and true to form, he's done just that!   The film is funny, action packed and a wonderful adventure.  Our entire family enjoyed the heck out of it!  I highly recommend this one!

WWE: Goldberg - The Ultimate Collection DVD Review

WWE: Goldberg - The Ultimate Collection DVD Review
 

Synopsis: Goldberg was one of the most dominant and talented individuals ever witnessed in sports entertainment, exploding onto the scene by amassing an epic win streak of 173 matches. Throughout his WCW career he defeated legends such as Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash and Diamond Dallas Page. As he crossed over to the WWE, this powerhouse continued his dominance taking on such Superstars as The Rock, Triple H, and Brock Lesnar among others. This 3-disc compilation features some of the biggest matches in Goldberg's impressive career and showcases why his legacy will forever be cemented in sports entertainment.

Review: In the late 1990s I had long been done watching wrestling.  What drew me back in was the NWO and Hollywood Hogan over at WCW...and what kept me there was a rookie that was flattening everything in his path.  Bill Goldberg.  Goldberg was instantly a favorite of mine from the first time I saw him flatten an opponent.  Eventually, the powers that be would ruin his character's run in the WCW by letting Kevin Nash dominate him, but it was quite a ride!  This DVD set has a great documentary and some fantastic key matches in Goldberg's WCW and WWE career.  I certainly hope he can return again, I'd love to see another run from him.

The Wolverine Blu-Ray / DVD Combo Review

The Wolverine Blu-Ray / DVD Combo Review


Synopsis: Hugh Jackman returns as The Wolverine and faces his ultimate nemesis in an action packed life-or-death battle that takes him to modern day Japan. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his limits, Logan confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality; an epic fight that will leave him forever changed.

Review: I'm a huge fan of the X-Men and of course Wolverine.  I know that the first Wolverine film got a lot of heat from fans, but I thought it was an okay watch.  This one, however, got a lot more scrutiny from me, because I'm a HUGE fan of the original Frank Miller Wolverine comic book mini-series on which this is based.   The film features Hugh Jackman doing a fantastic job as the Wolverine.  He has really  nailed this character to the point where it feels effortless.  He just melts right into the mystique (no pun intended).  The film does a pretty good job of adapting certain parts of the comic book, while changing enough to update it and make it more Hollywood.  There is some great dark humor and good action scenes.  This one is a great comic book film and sure to please any fan of Wolverine!

The special features include: 

Disc 1: Blu-ray
  • Theatrical Film
  • Doc: Path of the Ronin
  • Alt Ending
  • DOFP Set Tour
  • Second Screen
  • Marvel Infinite Comic

Synopsis: The Autobots and their human comrades have been separated, following the destruction of their headquarters, and Optimus Prime badly injured. Unfortunately, this is just the beginning of their troubles, as the powerful Decepticon Shockwave has come to Earth with his newest weapon a clone of one of Cybertron's most ancient and fearsome beasts Predaking. Now it's up the Autobots and their allies both old and new to reunite and protect the world from evil one last time. The epic conclusion to the acclaimed series Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters is now available in one breathtaking two-disc collection!

Review: Transformers is a franchise that has stood the test of decades and is still going strong with kids and adults alike with Transformers: Prime!   The third season of the show, Beast Hunters,takes the action and the story arcs to a whole new level!  I was really hoping that this series would keep going with a season four, but it has been announced that this is the end of Transformers: Prime and a new series is coming in 2014!  This one starts out with everything looking bleak and just when the chips are down, sworn enemies have to team together to fight an even greater and more ancient evil from their own alien planet!  This series never disappointed and this is a must have for any fan!

There’s no place like home…for bloodcurdling horror! For George and Kathy Lutz from The Amityville Horror, the colonial house on the river’s edge seemed ideal: quaint, spacious and amazingly affordable. Of course, six brutal murders had taken place there just a year before, but houses don’t have memories…or do they? Soon the Lutz dream house becomes a hellish nightmare, as walls begin to drip blood and satanic forces threaten to destroy them. Now the family must try to escape or forfeit their lives – and their souls! One of the most talked-about haunted house stories of all time, The Amityville Horror is a spine-tingling tale of a house possessed by unspeakable evil.



Classic film aficionados, horror fans and collectors will relish the 4-Disc Blu-ray release of The Vincent Price Collection from Scream Factory.  An essential collection for every home entertainment library, this extraordinary collector’s set brings together six Vincent Price masterpiece classics, featuring the first-ever Blu-ray movie presentation of Fall of the Hose of Usher (1960), The Haunted Palace (1963), The Masque of Red Death (1964), The Pit and the Pendulum (1961Witchfinder General (1968) and The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971). Brimming with a bevy of chilling bonus content including interviews with producer/director Roger Corman, audio commentaries, original theatrical trailers, still galleries and archival materials, this Blu-ray collection also includes a 24-page Collector’s book.


From the director of Poltergeist and the co-writer of Alien comes a thrilling sci-fi adventure of explosive action and pulse-pounding suspense! A mission to investigate Halley's Comet discovers an even stranger phenomenon: an alien spacecraft! Following a deadly confrontation, the aliens arrive on Earth, where their seductive leader begins a terrifying campaign to drain the lifeforce of everyone she encounters. Her victims, in turn, continue the cycle, and soon the entire planet is in mortal danger. And when the mission's sole survivor (Steve Railsback – The Stunt Man) sets out to destroy her, he comes face to face with the most charming - and horrifying – being he's ever known. Will he be able to destroy the lovely vampiress...or will he become yet another victim of her fatal charm?



A weather beaten old fisherman tells an ancient tale of betrayal and death to fascinated children as they huddle together by their campfire. As a piece of driftwood in a child’s hands glows with spectral light an eerie fog envelops the bay and from it’s midst emerge dripping demonic victims of a century old shipwreck… seeking revenge.



In this the third film in the continuing saga of the undead from writer/director George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead, Survival of the Dead), a small group of scientists and soldiers have taken refuge in an underground missile silo where they struggle to control the flesh-eating horror that walks the earth above. But will the final battle for the future of the human race be fought among the living or have they forever unleashed the hunger of the dead? Lori Cardille, Joe Pilato and Richard Liberty star in this controversial classic with groundbreaking gore effects by Tom Savini.


From the producer of HALLOWEEN comes a new force of evil…
Creedmore Prison becomes a supernatural battleground when the specter of Charlie Forsythe, a man executed for murder, returns seeking vengeance from the brutal guard, Ethan Sharpe, who was aware of his innocence. The lives of the inmates hang in the balance as Forsythe and Sharpe lock in demonic combat. Directed by Renny Harlin (Cliffhanger, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, Deep Blue Sea). Starring Viggo Mortensen (A History Of Violence, Eastern Promises), Chelsea Field (Dust Devil, The Dark Half) and Lane Smith (Red Dawn).

Review: The Simpsons is without a doubt the greatest animated show of all time.  Its certainly the longest running!  Fortunately, we're now getting season releases on blu-ray, as well as DVD.  This season sixteen set has 21 episodes of the series.  Season 16 originally aired during the 2004-2005 season.  Highlight episodes include "Thanks God, It's Doomsday", which was an instant classic, and the "Treehouse of Horror XV", which opens the season with a bang.  This is a must have blu-ray for any fan of the show.  The series looks amazing in high-def and hopefully they'll speed up these releases and go back to give us blu-ray of the first seasons, as well!
