Synopsis: THREE DANCE CREWS PREPARE TO DO BATTLE AT THE INTERNATIONAL BEAT THE WORLD COMPETITION IN DETROIT. IN THE FINAL SHOWDOWN TO BECOME WORLD CHAMPIONS LIFELONG HOPES, DREAMS AND EVEN LIVES, ARE AT STAKE.

Review: This sequel to "You Got Served" is very much in line with the original film.  It involves a group of youth that are going to a dance battle in Detroit.  The movie is full of hip-hop music and very elaborate and well-choreographed dance moves.  If you enjoyed the first film in the series, then this one shouldn't disappoint.

Synopsis: Sam Davis (Michael Angarano) convinces his former best friend to spend a weekend with him to rekindle their friendship at an elegant beachside estate owned by a famous documentary filmmaker (Lee Pace). However, it soon becomes clear that Sam is secretly infatuated with his ex, Zoe (Uma Thurman), who is now the filmmaker's fiancée, and that his true intention is to thwart their impending nuptials. As Sam's plan begins to unravel, he is forced to realize how complicated love and friendship can be.

Review: This quirky little romantic comedy is the latest feature for Uma Thurman. Thurman is one of the most underrated and talented, not to mention attractive, actresses of our day.  This film is full of ackward obsession and interesting takes on the complications of love and marriage in modern times.  Its a great watch and definately something different.

Synopsis: The star of Taken and The A-Team jumps back into action with brute force! Liam Neeson plays Dr. Martin Harris, who awakens after a car accident in Berlin to discover that his wife (January Jones) suddenly doesn’t recognize him and another man (Aidan Quinn) has assumed his identity.

Aided by an unlikely ally (Diane Kruger), Harris plunges into a deadly mystery forcing him to question his sanity, his identity and just how far he’s willing to go to uncover the truth.

Review: Unknown is the latest action thriller starring Liam Neeson.  This mystery film involves a man waking from a coma to find that someone as assumed his identity.  Neeson, who has recently re-invented himself as an action hero of sorts, takes a very Fugitive-esque role on in Unknown as the doctor that is trying to discover the truth about his now very twisted life.  Its a fun ride and full of great intrigue. 

The special features on this set include: "Liam Neeson: Known Action Hero" and "Unknown: What is Known?"

Synopsis: What’s a pregnant porn goddess to do? Well, if you’re legendary adult film star Elektra Luxx (Carla Gugino), you decide to quit the industry, take a job as a “sexology” instructor at the community college and look forward to your new life with your baby. Except, that may not happen quite yet – not until she wrestles with a solicitous bride-to-be, an obsessed web streamer, a studly private investigator, a clothing –challenged neighbor, a criminal twin sister and even the Virgin Mary. It’s one hysterical ride with plenty of uninhibited comedy along the way.

Review: This film switches gears a few times from comedy into life drama, but its a fun ride.  Carla Gugino is the star and she definately carries the film.  The synopsis says it all.  Joseph Gordon-Levitt is an actor that I've gotten quite attached to in recent years and its fun to see him in this film taking on a different type of role (porn blogger).  This one was definately unique with the ex-porn star twist and is a fun watch.

Synopsis: TIM LIPPE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE'S IN FOR WHEN HE'S SENT TO CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA TO REPRESENT HIS COMPANY AT AN ANNUAL INSURANCE CONVENTION, WHERE HE SOON FINDS HIMSELF UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THREE CONVENTION VETERANS.

Review: Ed Helms has really endeared himself to me in recent years, between the Office and the Hangover he is most certainly in my tops when it comes to comedic actors....especially ackward and uncomfortable comedy.  Helms takes on a slightly different role, one a bit more like his persona on the Office, in Cedar Rapids.  He's a bit of a naive man-boy insurance agent that goes to a "big" convention.  Hilarity ensues, but instead of being a weak comedy this one pulls it through and becomes a very honest and real film.

Synopsis: From the uproariously unrestrained mind of comedian Louis C.K. comes the year’s most outrageously original comedy! As a newly-divorced, well-meaning father raising two young daughters, Louie struggles to cope with his strenuous mid-life shake-up, and his stand-up comedy provides a gleefully warped reflection of his hectic, everyday reality. There are disastrous first dates, indecent proposals, high school bullies, booze-addled play dates—and more. Featuring stellar guest stars such as Matthew Broderick and Ricky Gervais, Louie is unfiltered, off-kilter, and hilarious!

Review: What do you say about Louie?   He is the finest shining example of human waste.  He is downtrodden, miserable, grumpy and bizarre all at once.  This makes, of course, for a hilarious tv show.  Its ackward and dark and certainly odd.  Its honestly the involvement of comedian Ricky Gervais (The Office) that drew me to this series.  He makes a cameo as Louie's doctor and that was enough for me to give it a chance, and I'm glad that I did.  The second season is going strong, so now is a good time to get caught up on the first!  This set offers the complete first season in both DVD and Blu-Ray formats in a nice and compact blu-ray-sized case.

Synopsis: What’s a wallaby to do when he’s surrounded by annoying neighbors, freeloading pals, heaps of laundry and the weight of life in general? Why, turn to his loyal canine, Spunky, and dim-witted best pal, Heffer, to help him confront the trials and tribulations of modern life. Season One tosses Rocko and his pals into the surreal worlds of the DMV, the carnival, health clubs, vacuum cleaners, bath time, trash day and, of course, the ongoing battle with the cruel and petty Ed Bighead. The best part? You can now get all of Rocko’s Season One escapades on two hilarity-packed DVDs!

Review: Rocko's Modern Life is a fantastic vintage Nickelodeon cartoon from the 1990s.  It was a precursor and definately an inspiration for shows like Sponge Bob and even the more adult shows like Futurama and Family Guy!  This new DVD release collects the entire first season.  This is a fantastic blast from the past for anyone that grew up watching this one and a fun delve into animation history if you happened to have missed it.

Synopsis: A MARRIED MAN IS GRANTED THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE AN AFFAIR BY HIS WIFE. JOINED IN THE FUN BY HIS BEST PAL, THINGS GET A OUT OF CONTROL WHEN BOTH WIVES START ENGAGING IN EXTRAMARITAL ACTIVITIES AS WELL.

Review: The Farrelly brothers have done it again.  The only thing is that this time its a bit different from their other films in that it ends with a very warm and bright view of marriage, rather than some crass or absurd ending.  The journey is still very Farrelly with some absolutely insane situations and a great comedy for those of us that have grown with the Farrellys over the years.  This one is a comedy for those in mid-life for once.

There is a cool website for the movie, hallpassmovie.warnerbros.com, where you can create your own Hall Pass and you can upload your own image to make yourself a "10".  Users start by uploading a picture of themselves and then add unattractive elements such as acne, wrinkles, etc to create an “ugly” version of their picture.  Next, they choose from two available templates of ugly and odd-looking people to position around their image.  Just like in the film, two giant hands come into frame and cover up the odd-looking people, then uncover them – the user goes from ‘ugly’ to a ‘10’

Review: Red Riding Hood is a classic fantasy tale brought to life by the director of Twilight...and it shows.  If you're a fan of Twilight and tv series like MTV's Teen Wolf then this one will be right up your alley.  On the surface its a fantastical fantasy tale, but really at it's core its a love story.  In fact, a love triangle.  I personally would pick Peter for Valerie.  You can make your own choice online at www.redridinghoodlovetriangle.com.

Synopsis: Rubber is the story of Robert, an inanimate tire that has been abandoned in the desert and then suddenly and inexplicably comes to life. As Robert roams the bleak landscape, he discovers that he possesses terrifying telepathic powers that give him the ability to destroy anything he wishes. At first content to prey on discarded objects and small desert creatures, his attention soon turns to humans, especially a beautiful and mysterious woman who crosses his path. Leaving a swath of destruction behind, Robert becomes a chaotic force and truly a movie villain for the ages.

Review: Rubber is one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen.  I mean this in the best possible way.  When it comes to original ideas, this one definately has that going for it.  In the tradition of films like Army of Darkness, Rubber is the insane story of a tire that comes to life and develops telepathic powers that enable him to kill!  This one is full of laughs and fun, and is definately worth a watch, especially with friends.

Synopsis: American: The Bill Hicks Story brings to life the amazing true story of one of modern culture’s most iconic figures. Much more than just a comedian, Bill Hicks has become an inspiration to millions around the world. As a rebellious teenager, he discovered that comedy was a way to break all the rules, but then he found it could also open people’s minds. Bill’s comedy challenged the injustices of life head on, but his uncompromising approach met with conflict in America and it was instead on the international stage where he found fame. In 1993, on the verge of wider success, Bill fell ill with terminal cancer, but his timeless material has lived on, revered by comedians and audiences alike as the man who changed comedy forever. Taking documentary to a new level, American uses interviews, archive footage including many unseen performances, and stunning animation to bring Bill’s inspiring story to life, told for the first time by those that knew him best.

Review: Bill Hicks was on fire back in the early 1990s.  The was the edgiest thing since George Carlin and he had a bright future ahead of him.  Tragically, he was struck down with cancer at a young age and though his comedy lives on, his legacy hadn't.  Now, with this documentary, you can see the real story of Bill Hicks.  This is a great insight for any fan and a wonderful introduction for anyone not familiar with his work.

But as the seasons change and another year passes, Tom and Gerri’s support is put to the test in this masterful look at life, love and the meaning of friendship.

Review: Another Year is a film about the complexities of love and why some can find it and some cannot.  Mike Leigh is a fantastic and unique filmmaker who brings his unique view onto the screen.   This married couple is settled in together and quite happy.  Their needy and single friend Mary falls in love with their son and the drama ensues!

Synopsis: Bobby Walker (Ben Affleck) is living the proverbial American dream: great job, beautiful family, shiny Porsche in the garage. When corporate downsizing leaves him and co-workers Phil Woodward (Chris Cooper) and Gene McClary (Tommy Lee Jones) jobless, the three men are forced to re-define their lives as men, husbands and fathers.

Bobby soon finds himself enduring enthusiastic life coaching, a job building houses for his brother-in-law (Kevin Costner) that does not play to his executive skill set, and perhaps -- the realization that there is more to life than chasing the bigger, better deal. With humor, pathos, and keen observation, writer-director John Wells (the creator of "ER") introduces us to the new realities of American life.

Review: The Company Men is a serious and relevant drama.  The cast is all-star from Ben Affleck to Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper and Kevin Costner.  This is a film about those that define themselves by their jobs and the higher-ups that get cocky and bring about their own karma.  A major company lets a series of employees go and we get to see how each of their lives are affected, along with their self-worth and their marriages.  This is a great drama..very timely and certainly something everyone should see.

In 1996 Transformers fans were introduced to this stunning saga created by Hasbro and the studio behind the groundbreaking computer-generated animated series ReBoot. Beast Wars ran for three amazing seasons, won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation and introduced a new generation of fans to the astonishing world of The Transformers! Now you can see the first 26 incredible episodes of this breathtaking animated epic.

Review: The Transformers were off the air for awhile following the Generation One run in the 1980s.  The next show produced was done using the best technology of the time...computer animated graphics.  This was a really new frontier back in 1996 and the show definately reflects that.  A lot of the graphics are basic and stiff, but the storylines are fantastic.  This show is a great piece of animation history, as a pre-pixar era computer animated show became a phenomenon.  

This DVD includes the first 26 episodes of the three season show.  They look absolutely amazing on DVD and are long overdue for fans!  Shout! Factory has another fantastic Transformers release on their hands.

Review: Just Go With It is a new comedy starring Adam Sandler as a well off womanizing plastic surgeon and Jennifer Aniston as his mousey secretary.  Sandler goes around conning women by wearing a fake wedding ring.  One day he meets this great woman, but she sees the ring.  He then convinces Aniston and her children to pose as his fake ex-family to appease the woman into knowing that he isn't cheating.  The entire thing, of course, unravels.  Great supporting appearances by Nick Swardson and Kevin Nealon in this one.  The end is predictable, but the ride is fun.

The transfer into high-definition did these films well!  They all look fanatastic.  Ironically, the best transfer is on the much reviled Superman IV and of course Superman Returns.  These are all great films in their own ways.  This anthology is loaded with tons of extras and commentary.  The only film without commentary is Superman Returns. 

The new Superman franchise will begin in 2012.

Synopsis: In 1920s China, the nation is divided by infighting. Japan has become the most powerful force in Asia, taking over Northern Shanghai. With the city torn in half by international conflict, the popular nightclub Casablanca has become a hotbed of spies, mobsters, English officials and the Japanese military- all looking to gain control of the country, with little regard for what happens to its citizens. 

Into this den of intrigue enters Chen Zhen, once played by Bruce Lee in FIST OF FURY and Jet Li in FIST OF LEGEND. Chen Zhen (Donnie Yen), has returned to China after fighting alongside the Allied forces in Europe, bringing some dark secrets from his past along with him. During the day, he's known as "Ku", and appears to be just another wealthy playboy. But at night, he takes to the street as a masked warrior, determined to subvert the Japanese invasion while becoming entangled with the sultry Kiki (Shu Qi), who has a dangerous secret of her own. When his past catches up to him, Zhen is faced with near impossible odds- but his skills are formidable, and he's up to the challenge. 

Combining the best of today's martial arts and superhero action with the classic spy thrillers of the past (and a healthy dose of film noir on top), LEGEND OF THE FIST is the rare action film that truly gives the audience something they've never seen before.

Review: The title of this film kind of indicates that its a sequel..this isn't actually the case.   Legend of the Fist stars martial arts great Donnie Yen in the lead.  This film is full of historical drama and fantastic fight scenes.  I was a bit disturbed to find a lot of wires used, rather than old school choreography, since Yen himself has spoken out against wires, but what can you do, right?    This film is great, full of action and looks amazing in high-definition.

The bonus features include: Behind The Scenes, Cast and Crew Interviews, Trailers and Optional English Dub.

Synopsis: Oscar® Winner Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas sizzle in this smoldering tale of passion, deception and danger. A wealthy Cuban merchant (Banderas) only knows his mysterious bride to be (Jolie) through letters, but when he finally meets and marries her, his life takes a deadly turn. With footage too hot for theaters, director’s commentary and more, this unrated Blu-ray is sinfully satisfying.

Review: Original Sin is one of the most dynamic thrillers out there.  It has a very involved and intricate plot, exquisitely purpotrated by both Jolie and Banderas.  The level of sexual chemistry and sensuality, mixed with the deception and lies make a fantastic case for the dangers of blind love.  This film is based on the novel Waltz into Darkness.  Original Sin hits blu-ray for the first time and it looks fantastic.  The colors pop, although much of the film's scenes are shrouded in some level of darkness, there is no grain and it definately pays off.

Synopsis: Let the sunshine in with this memorable musical tribute to the far-out spirit of the ’60s — on Blu-ray for the first time!

Fresh off the farm, Claude Bukowski (John Savage) arrives in New York City to join the army, but he’s quickly swept up in the counterculture when a group of hippies introduce him to their psychedelic world…and a beautiful rich girl named Sheila (Beverly D’Angelo). When the group’s leader (Treat Williams) tries to keep Claude out of Vietnam, the consequences are shocking for everyone involved.

Review: The classic film Hair didn't do so great at the box office.  It was sandwiched between "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Amadeus" for the director and it really didn't have the same impact as the other two.  What it did do is masterfully re-create the look, tone and feel of the 1960s hippie anti-war movement in New York City.  The film is one blu -ray now for the first time and whether you've seen it before or this is your first time, you should definately see this film.  The transfer into high-definition did well for the film!  It looks very smooth and the colors pop well.  The soundtrack is great, primarily set to Aquarius.  All around great release.

As he captures her day and night, the woman's mysterious trysts and illicit behavior send him reeling, forcing him to confront uncomfortable truths about his sex life and his relationship at home.

Review: Monogamy is a fantastic look at the modern relationship and the psyche of the modern male.  The world that tells us how things should be in marriage and in life has passed on and there needs to be new understandings.  This film really touches on these points, while providing a great backdrop of drama.  Monogamy is a fantastic film.

Synopsis: This wonderfully inventive and incomparably funny Australian film about three drag performers braving the vast, rugged outback won the 1994 Academy Award® for Costume Design. Featuring fabulous and heartfelt performances from Terence Stamp (Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace), Hugo Weaving (The Matrix) and Guy Pearce (Memento), this is “one of the wildest movies ever made” (The New York Observer ) and has since become the latest Broadway sensation!

They came. They conquered. They looked fabulous! With a contract to perform a drag show way out in the Australian desert, Tick (Weaving), Adam (Pearce) and Bernadette (Stamp) each has his own reason for wanting to leave the safety of Sydney. Christening their battered, pink tour bus “Priscilla,” this wickedly funny and high-drama trio heads for the outback…and into crazy adventures in even crazier outfits. You go, girls!

Review: This Australian film from1994 made a huge splash.  It features 3 drag queens sent off to perform a lip-sync show in the desert, and of course hilarity ensues.  The film cast is fantastic and the actors do a great job of really delivering on the roles.  This one is very similar to the 1995 "Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar" that was released here in the States.  This marks the blu-ray release of the film and its long overdue!  The transfer is really nice.  Most of the scenes are daylight outdoor shots and there is no evident grain.  Definately a must-have.

Synopsis: From acclaimed director Frank Oz (In & Out, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) comes "a fast, furious and riotously funny farce" (Maxim) that'll have you dying with laughter!

As the mourners and guests at a British country manor struggle valiantly to "keep a stiff upper lip," a dignified ceremony devolves into a hilarious, no-holds-barred debacle of misplaced cadavers, indecent exposure, and shocking family secrets. Packed with extras including audio commentaries and an uproarious gag reel, Death at a Funeral blows the lid off the proverbial coffin as "the film's delicious comic flourishes... sight gags, slapstick, flawless timing... are served up by an outstanding cast" (O, The Oprah Magazine).

Review: This is a british comedy directed by the great Frank Oz.  Death at a Funeral is such a great film that it was remade last year in the USA.  This is the original, and far better, british version.  In true brit fashion this film is crazy beyond belief!  Gay midget lovers, drug interactions, trackling corpses..its all here and now in high-definition!  The film looks absolutely fantastic on blu-ray and is a must-have for anyone with a sense of humor!

Review: White Collar's second season was a lot more intense than the first.   Neal, the anti-hero protagonist is trying to deal with his loss, while also still doing his job of helping the FBI investigate other criminals.  The characters stayed very consistant, although Neal does become a bit more somber at times and certainly has struggles dealing with the death of his girlfriend.  This one is a great USA network original.

Naresuan spends almost seven years away from home studying as a novice Buddhist monk.

Review:  This DVD release is part one of the historical asian epic.  The visuals and scenery are epic in nature and well-done.  The film is subtitled in English or Spanish, so be forewarned.  The acting is great and the story is absolutely riveting.  I look forward to checking-out part two, which is also being released at the same time.  Yukol has managed to make a historical drama absolutely spinetingling and fantastic.

Synopsis: Over the summer of 1976, thirty-six bombs detonated in the heart of Cleveland while a turf war raged between Irish mobster Danny Greene (Ray Stevenson) and the Italian mafia. Based on a true story, KILL THE IRISHMAN chronicles Greene's heroic rise from a tough Cleveland neighborhood to become an enforcer in the local mob. Turning the tables on loan shark Shondor Birns (Christopher Walken) and allying himself with gangster John Nardi (Vincent D'Onofrio), Greene stops taking orders from the mafia and pursues his own power. Surviving countless assassination attempts from the mob and killing off anyone who went after him in retaliation, Danny Greene's infamous invincibility and notorious fearlessness eventually led to the collapse of mafia syndicates across the U.S. and also earned him the status of the man the mob couldn't kill.

Review: This film is based on the true story of an Irishman in the 1970s that challenged the Italian mafia in Cleveland.  The Irishman is gritty, and rough around the edges, but tough as nails.  This film is stylized and really gives you the feel for the era with real tv footage and a great backdrop and wardrobe.  Nonetheless, the attitudes and superb acting make this a fantastic and unique mob film.

Written and directed by Jonathan Hensleigh and also starring Val Kilmer, Paul Sorvino and Linda Cardellini, KILL THE IRISHMAN is inspired by Rick Porello's true crime account ''To Kill The Irishman: The War That Crippled The Mafia.''

The special features include: Bonus documentary on the true story of Danny Green, featuring accounts from the real FBI investigators, mobsters, and family members dramatized in the film.
