American Horror Story: Asylum Blu-Ray Review


 Synopsis: Step inside a madhouse of horror and experience the chilling new incarnation of TV's most daringly provocative series. The sins of the past haunt the present at the notorious Briarcliff home for the criminally insane, ruled with an iron fist by Sister Jude. Forbidden desire and terrifying evil lurk around every corner...from alien abduction to demonic possession to a skin-wearing psychopath known as Bloody Face. Emmyr winner JESSICA LANGE leads an exceptional ensemble cast, including ZACHARY QUINTO, JAMES CROMWELL and SARAH PAULSON. 'It's genuinely, unrelentingly horrific and creepy' (Time Magazine) and a 'totally addictive' (The Washington Post) show.

 Review: One thing that I'll give American Horror Story is that you'd never know it was produced by the same people that bring us Glee, its legitmately shocking.  The second season of the show, dubbed Asylum, features most of the same cast in new roles, telling a new story that is just as wicked and twisted as the first.  This is without a doubt the most edgy show on television today.    This one pushes the envelope even more with a dark asylum, twisted nuns, nazis and psychopaths.  This one is certainly disturbing and NOT for children!  But definately for the adult looking for something dark this Halloween season.

The Big Parade Blu-Ray Book Review



Synopsis: The highest-grossing silent film of all time, as well as the first realistic war drama, tells the harrowing story of a young man's (John Gilbert) front-line experiences in World War I. Year: 1927 Director: King Vidor Starring: John Gilbert, Renee Adoree, Claire Adams, Hobart Bosworth, Karl Dane

Review: I love vintage film.  Even further I love silent films.  I mostly watched the comedies, but this was a wonderful treat.  A World War I war love epic.  The movie looks fantastic on blu-ray, which is kind of a nice surprise.  The action sequences are dynamic and full of drama.  It was a wonderful treat to experience this film and I'm pleased to have it in my home library!

Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel DVD Review



Synopsis: Excelsior! The fathttp://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7228112976095767#editor/target=post;postID=3919798443888813805;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=2;src=linke of the Tri-State area – and the world – hangs in the balance as Agent P and Danville's most dynamic duo team up with four of Marvel's greatest Super Heroes in one awesome full-length adventure.

It's thwarted-business-as-usual for Dr. Doofenshmirtz – until a blast from his "Power-Drain-Inator" ricochets off of Phineas and Ferb's space station, hitting Spider-Man, Iron Man, the Hulk and Thor. Now the kids must restore the Super Heroes' lost powers before a group of dastardly super-villains destroy the planet! Fortunately, Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. are also on the case, together with O.W.C.A.'s top agent, Perry the Platypus. Aren't Phineas and Ferb a little young to help avert a potential disaster? Yes. Yes they are! Bursting with original songs and six additional episodes, Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel is a must-own, action-packed event of heroic proportions.

Review: When Disney purchased Marvel recently we knew that things were going to start to happen.  This is the perfect example of why I and my kids were very excited at this development.   This great new cartoon mash-up features the gang from Phineas and Ferb teaming with Spiderman, Iron Man, Hulk and Thor to battle Red Skull, Venom, Whiplash and Modok...not to mention their usual nemesis, Dr. Doofenshmirtz!   This feature is nothing but fun!  My kids from ages three to eleven all enjoyed this one!

This new DVD comes with a packed-in comic book and a huge pull-out poster of the cover of the DVD!  These two small additions make all the difference in the world to a kid.  My kids went nuts over them!  The special features includes bonus episodes of Phineas and Ferb: BONUS ADVENTURES: "Fly On The Wall"; "Sidetracked, Parts 1 & 2"; "Primal Perry, Parts 1 & 2"; "Backyard Hodge Podge"; "Knot My Problem"; "Mind Share"

New Girl: The Complete Second Season DVD Review
 


 Synopsis: The romantic tension between Jess (Emmyr Nominee Zooey Deschanel) and Nick (Jake Johnson) escalates in the hilarious, quirky second season of New Girl - but will they ever hook up? Meanwhile, Schmidt fails to be hip, Winston isn't "prepared" for a hot date, and Nick faces a death in his dysfunctional family. While Jess does her best to replace Cece on a modeling job and a drunk Elvis impersonator at a funeral, Schmidt and Winston hope to rearrange Cece's arranged marriage. Relive all 25 outrageous episodes featuring guest stars like Jamie Lee Curtis, Rob Reiner and Dennis Farina, and enjoy fun bonus material - including the extended version of the hugely popular Virgins episode - only available on the DVD.

Review: New Girl was the best new comedy of the last few years.  This DVD release collects all 25 episodes of the second season of the show.  Now that it has hit a great stride, the story is leaning towards the pending romance beteween roommates Jess and Nick.  This show reminds of past efforts like SCRUBS and FRIENDS, because the casting and the characters are so well done that each episode is constant laughs.  The cast delivers the hilarity with ease.  This one is a great showcase show for the adorable Zooey Deschanel.  If you haven't seen the show, pick this one and season one up today!  If you have seen the show, then you already know why you need this!

House of Wax 3D Blu-Ray Review!


 Synopsis: In the wicked performance that crowned him the movie's master of the macabre, Vincent Price plays a renowned wax sculptor plunged into madness when an arsonist destroys his life's work. Unable to use his flame-scarred hands, he devises a new - and murderous - way of restocking his House of Wax.

 Review: I'm a sucker for vintage film..especially vintage horror.  Especially vintage horror with Vincent Price at the helm!  House of Wax is a wonderful classic film that has been brought to high-definition 3D!  They did a great job of putting this one out so that we could enjoy it with our 3D TVs!  The depth is fantastic and the dimensions are great.  This one was meant to be on 3D!  Its crisp, full of color, not to mention a great classic horror film.  This one must be a part of any serious collection!

Leverage: The 5th Season DVD Review


 Synopsis: Leverage focuses on a team led by former insurance investigator turned thief, Nate Ford (Hutton). Together, they try to level the playing field for people whose lives have been destroyed by the rich and powerful. In the final season of Leverage, the team will be forced to face changing personal dynamics as the relationship between Parker (Riesgraf) and Hardison (Hodge) heats up, and Nate continues to struggle with inner demons. Among their upcoming jobs, they will target a conniving shipping executive (guest star Cary Elwes); weathly scientist; an ex-hockey-player-turned-team-owner (guest star Treat Williams); a corrupt restaurateur; and a corrupt businessman (guest star Matthew Lillard). In addition, the team will once again face their nemesis, insurance-investigator-turned Interpol-agent Jim Sterling (guest star Mark Sheppard).

Review: Leverage was a wonderful show that aired on TNT.  This DVD set represents the fifth and final season of the show, all 15 episodes.  This show has some of the best developed characters with fantastic chemistry.  It just flows so well.  The episodes managed to be full of action, intrigue and fun without ever delving into the vulgar or hypersexualized themes that so many other shows do.  The only thing that this show suffered from was poor scheduling by the network.  The airings became irregular at best and seasons were poorly promoted by TNT.  We're lucky to have gotten five seasons considering.  This show is like an ongoing Oceans 11 meets Sneakers.  Its phenominal in every way.  This DVD and the previous seasons are a must-have!

Modern Family: The Complete Fourth Season Blu-Ray Review


 Synopsis: The laughs - and the awards - just keep on coming for the #1-rated Modern Family, winner of three consecutive Emmyr Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series! With Jay and Gloria's baby on the way and Haley going off to college, the entire Pritchett/Dunphy clan faces some major surprises as they bicker and bond over house-flipping headaches, unwanted play dates, and everything from hot-tempered hormones to in utero karaoke. Featuring a stellar array of guest stars including Matthew Broderick, Shelley Long and Elizabeth Banks, Season Four takes a heartfelt and laugh-out-loud hilarious look at what it means to be a Modern Family.

Review: Network television is plagued with cliche sit-coms that just don't cut it in the modern era.  Modern Family is one of the first exceptions to this rule in a long time.  The mockumentary-style made famous in the USA by the Office is handled masterfully here.  The dynamite cast plays perfectly off each other and by this fourth season you know them all so well that the jokes flow with ease.  This is a rare enjoyable network show and definately one to own, it holds up well with multiple views.

South Park: The Sixteenth Season Blu-Ray Review


 Synopsis: All fourteen episodes from South Park's legendary 16th season are jam-packed into this exclusive three-disc DVD set and 2-disc Blu-ray set. Join Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny as they hunt down the mythical Jewpacabra, `sketti wrestle with reality stars, and go jackin' it in San Diego. Pile on never-before-seen deleted scenes and a healthy dose of cat breading, and you've got a box set that could just "raise the bar".

Review: I don't care what adult animation shows come down the pike, South Park is still the reigning champion and always will be!  Every year I look desperately forward to the new seasons to see what pop culture they're going to dismantle!  Season 16 was fantastic!  It aired in 2012.  We got everything from the TSA and Taylor Swifting to spoofs of Honey Boo Boo.  This was a fantastic season, full of inappropriate laughs!  A MUST have!  You can pick it up on blu-ray or DVD!

Review: As if horror films weren't scary enough.  As if we didn't have enough right now with the Halloween holiday coming up, the original comes back to haunt us in a great collectible blu-ray book form!  Michael Myers is back with the original Halloween, 35th anniversary edition and in high definition!  The film looks amazing on blu-ray and is still the best!  The blu-ray book edition includes a nice attached booklet on the movie.  This one is an absolute must-have for any horror fan!

Co-starring P.J. Soles (Carrie, Stripes, Rock 'n Roll High School), Kyle Richards (The Watcher in the Woods, Eaten Alive), Nancy Loomis (Carpenter's Assault On Precinct 13, The Fog), Charles Cyphers (Escape From New York, The Fog) and Brian Andrews (The Great Santini, Three O'Clock High), Halloween also cemented the careers of many behind the camera including Carpenter, Cundey, producer Debra Hill and film editor/production designer Tommy Lee Wallace (Halloween III: Season of the Witch, ''It'').

V/H/S/2 Blu-Ray Review

 Synopsis: From the innovative minds that brought you last year's V/H/S comes V/H/S/2, an all-new anthology of dread, madness, and gore. Searching for a missing student, two private investigators break into his abandoned house and find a collection of mysterious VHS tapes. In viewing the horrific contents of each cassette, they realize there may be terrifying motives behind the student's disappearance.

 Review:The original V/H/S was a fantastic horror flick, so when I heard about the sequel, it was a no brainer to check it out!  What really appeals to me about these films is that they're off of the standard horror genre template!  The found footage genre has some great movies and these are two of them!  This one is all about the mystery, so be sure not to spoil yourself in advance and try to guess whats going on with the video tapes!  Heres to hoping we get a V/H/S 3!

Dean Martin Celebrity Roast-Collectors Edition DVD Review



Synopsis: THE DEAN MARTIN CELEBRITY ROASTS were a fixture on NBC s Thursday night lineup from 1973 to 1984. In those 11 years, Dean and his panel of pals successfully ridiculed, embarrassed and made fun of legendary stars like Johnny Carson, Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason, Don Rickles and Dean Martin himself, to name a few, and America loved it!

It s a fun walk down memory lane.

Review: The Comedy Central roasts are so highly anticipated that millions tune in to view celebrities ripping on each other...but the roasts were first made famous back in the day with Dean Martin helming the show and tons of the famous people of the day taking cracks at each other.  Famous names like Jack Benny, Milton Berle and Jimmy Stewart!  These are such a joy to watch.  This is when comedians were comedians!  This fantastic DVD set includes 12 complete roasts and tons of interesting bonus features!  This one is a must have for anyone that enjoys classic actors and good old-fashioned comedy!

Arrow: The Complete First Season Blu-Ray Review

Synopsis: Based on DC Comics, Green Arrow superhero comic book series, Arrow has been reinvented for a modern day audience and comes to DVD and BD for the first time. After being marooned for five years on a remote island, billionaire Oliver Queen returns home with a mysterious agenda and a lethal set of new skills that he uses in a war on crime in this hard-hitting action series. After suffering unimaginable ordeals on the island, the Oliver returns to Starling City a new man -- determined to right the wrongs of his father and sworn to bring justice to those who've corrupted his city. But Oliver finds his crusade complicated by his friends and family who are all affected by his return.

Review: Superhero shows have a long history of being awful.  The first one to really break this ground was Smallville.  They seemed to do a great job of making the genre more serious on television, but many fans still complained about the level of cheese and teen romance, not to mention a distinct lack of super costume!  Arrow comes to the CW network and it completely blew me away.  I was looking for something the quality of Smallville, and what I got was a show worthy of cable TV.  The lead actor, Stephen Amell defintes the role of Oliver Queen and really demands respect in a way that TV heroes haven't done in the past.  This show has it all, a great serialized storyline, backstory, flashbacks, romance, action and more!  Arrow is the best new show on TV.

 Synopsis: America's favorite pastime - talking smack to your buddies and making their lives miserable - is elevated to hilarious new heights in the uproarious Season Four of The League. This season kicks off with the arrival of Kevin and Jenny's baby...and the race to the Shiva Bowl is on! As Taco tangles with Chicago Bears great Jim McMahon and Andre's tailgating plans go horribly awry, the rest of the guys contend with dirty trades, circumcision debates, breast-a-lyzers and blackmail. Make these outrageously funny Season Four episodes of The League your number-one draft pick!

Review: The League season four is finally out on DVD!  This is one of those great comedy shows that airs on FX, alongside Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia.  That is the "league" that its in.  The characters on this show hit stride right away, to the point that its almost a non-stop laugh and season four was no exception!  There is a misconception that you have to be into football or sports to "get" this show, and thats just not the case.  I hate sports and I love this show.  Its simply a backdrop to the comedy.  We cannot recommend this one enough!

 Get caught up before season five premieres.  This year the show is moving to the new FXX digital cable network.  Don't have digital cable?  Well, DVDs like this are definately the next best option!

Two and a Half Men: The Complete Tenth Season DVD Review

 Synopsis: The Malibu beach house men have matrimony on the brain in Season Ten. But where the heart (or other body part) is concerned, even the most honorable dude can screw up. Billionaire entrepreneur Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher) extends an extravagant proposal only to indulge in a fling with a stalker before finding true love under an assumed identity. Nebbish housemate Alan Harper (Jon Cryer) decides life with his longtime girlfriend is better with her than without, then gets caught in an internet scandal with his super hot ex-wife. And newly enlisted man Jake (Angus T. Jones) pops the Big Q to a tattoo queen twice his age, then decides he likes her daughter better! It's just what dudes do while under the influence of testosterone, women's wiles, and Berta's occasional pot brownies. Catch the hilarious contact high on all 23 manful episodes. 

Review:  Two and a Half Men has been a HUGE comedy powerhouse for over a decade.   This DVD collection of season ten is the second season that the show has been on the air without Charlie Sheen.  His replacement, TV veteran Ashton Kutcher, has hit a good stride on the show.  His character, although at first a rather unbelievable move, has grown into the groove of the series quite well.  The show is still funny, although I don't know how much longer it has to last, but its still managing to get some laughs and stand its ground as a solid TV sitcom.  This DVD includes all 23 of the season ten episodes.

The Hollow Crown: The Complete Series DVD Review


 Synopsis: From executive producer Sam Mendes (Skyfall, American Beauty) comes a stunning adaptation of four of Shakespeare’s most celebrated history plays: Richard II, Henry IV (Part 1 and Part 2), and Henry V. Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons (The Borgias), Tom Hiddleston (The Avengers), and Ben Whishaw (Skyfall) in his award-winning role as Richard II star in this epic tale of three kings, their battle for survival, and the rise and fall of a dynasty.

Review: If you've ever wondered what a dark, realistic and well set Shakespearean story would look like, its the Hollow Crown series.  This DVD collects Richard III, Henry IV and Henry V.  These epic tellings of the classic Shakespeare plays feature astoundingly fantastic actors.  The production values are extremely high on these and they're so faithful to the source material that no purest can complain.  This is a fantastic and entertaining way to experience Shakespeare that I recommend for anyone from high school age up to adult.

Homeland: The Complete Second Season Blu-Ray Review
 


 Synopsis: Homeland makes its triumphant return after winning six Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Lead Actress for Claire Danes, Outstanding Lead Actor for Damian Lewis and Outstanding Drama Series. Marine Sgt. Nicholas Brody (Lewis) is now a U.S. congressman, and former CIA agent Carrie Mathison (Danes) has returned to civilian life. But when a new and potentially devastating terrorist threat emerges, Brody and Carrie's lives become intertwined once again and they resume their delicate dance of suspicion, deceit and desire. Delve deeper into the edge-of-your-seat excitement with the thrilling second season of this "unmissable and gloriously suspenseful" (USA Today) hit show.

Review: Rarely a new show comes along that instantly captivates audiences like Homeland.  This homeland security based drama had a lot to live up to for season two.   This knockdown, dragout CIA thriller.  The second season, while it did have its differences, was still a must-see.  There are revelations that shake things up early in season two.  We get a great season with romance, vengeance and revenge.  The show stole the Emmy awards away last year and they're nominated for the awards this year, which airs in a few weeks, and they're sure to cash-in yet again!  This drama is like none other on TV. The cast is phenominal, the storylines are consistantly riveting and the action is fantastic.  Get geared up for season three and add this blu-ray to your library!

Superboy: The Complete Third Season DVD Review!



Synopsis: From the producers of the Superman films comes the adventures of a young Man of Steel who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered journalism student at Shuster University, fights a never-ending battle for truth and justice against his archnemesis, Lex Luther, and other supervillains -- all while trying to sweep Lana Lang off her feet.

Review:  Superboy was one of the four live action Superman TV show incarnations.  This one aired back in the late 1980s and early 1990s.  This show was immediately followed-up by the now legendary Lois & Clark and Smallville many years later.   Superboy was a little sillier overall than some of the other Superman shows, but the story arcs were definately there with a lot of nods to some of the classic comic book tales, as well as some modern era.  This season Clark and Lana begin working for the Bureau for Extra-Normal Matters, which is basically an X-Files like brach of the government that is investigating aliens..you know, like Superboy!   This season saw a more serious turn in the show.  Things got a little darker..at least for Superboy.  This is my personal favorite season and the point where I feel the show really picked up!  This DVD is only available online in a manufacture on demand capacity.  You won't find it in retail stores!
