Synopsis: Disney's legendary adventure is better than ever as TARZAN bursts onto Blu-ray for the first time ever with spectacular picture and amazing sound. Filled with thrills, laughs, and Academy Award(R)-winning music (Best Music, Original Song, "You'll Be In My Heart," 1999), this family favorite will make you go wild. Disney's magnificent adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' story begins deep within the jungle when baby Tarzan is adopted by a family of gorillas. But his "Two Worlds" collide with the arrival of humans, forcing Tarzan to choose between a "civilized" life with the beautiful Jane and the life he shares with his fun-loving friends and his gorilla family. Enjoy this wild and wonderful adventure in a whole new way on Disney Blu-ray!

Review:  I remember when Tarzan hit theaters back in the day.  My wife and I loved it then and we love it now.  Its such a joy to share this one with our kids, and in high-definition no less!   The film has never looked better, literally.  The color really pops, the sound is amazing and the movie still holds up as being delightful and fun.  This one is a no brainer...everyone MUST own!

Synopsis: The Devil's Cauldron - a city of depravity and violence, where only the lethal survive. Two hit men rule these streets, feared by all but loyal to one another. When a beautiful woman seduces them both, they turn on each other, igniting an epic battle that may bring the city to the brink of destruction.

Review: I've seen my fair share of asian action films.  In fact, I've seen a few people's shares!  There are few films that have the outright violence and carnage that Dragonwolf brings to the screen.   There is a great mixture of grindhouse violence and love drama.  Its really one of the finest films I've seen in a long time.  It has just enough of everything to keep my attention.  This one is must-see!

Synopsis: An ordinary LEGO minifigure, mistakenly thought to be the extraordinary MasterBuilder, is recruited to join a quest to stop an evil LEGO tyrant from gluing the universe together. Includes 3D blu-ray, 2D blu-ray, 2D DVD, digital HD ultraviolet and exclusive minifigurine.

Review: There are few things as glorious as a Lego feature film.  If you follow animation you know that there have been a few great Lego releases, including Star Wars and Dc Comics.  These are really fun, but very brief mini-releases.  This full length film is a win for adults and kids alike.  This set comes with the DVD, 2D Blu-Ray and even the 3D version of the film!  Also, a great Lego minifigure of the movie character Vitruvius!  This is the ultimate edition of the film, to be sure!  The movie itself is a great mixture of fun, adventure and feeling.  Everyone in our household adores it, from ages 4 all the way to 34!  This one is a great buy for the entire family and a must-have for fun summertime watching!  Fair warning, the song "Everything is Awesome" will be stuck in your head from then on.

Review: This is the sequel to the hit adventure fantasy film 300.  I actually enjoyed this film more than the first one, for a few reasons.  Firstly, a new director...I'm not a Zack Snyder fan whatsoever.  Next, the effects were toned down a bit from the first one.  The story in this one is a little prequel and a also some events that happen at the same time as the events in 300.  This was surprisingly fun for a sequel and I would actually recommend it to anyone!

Synopsis: Trapped on Earth, far from home and living in disguise, the brave Autobots must protect the ancient, all-powerful AllSpark from getting into the hands of the malevolent Decepticons. As if their task weren’t difficult enough, the team (led by the honor-bound Optimus Prime and including Bulkhead, Prowl, Ratchet and Bumblebee) must also protect Earth from its own nefarious super villains! Can this mere maintenance team live up to the highest standard of what it truly means to be Autobots?

Finally, you can own the complete Transformers Animated series, including the never-before-released third season, right here in one exciting collection!

Review: I was a fan of the generation one Transformers cartoon as a kid, so when this cartoon debuted back in 2007 I was really excited, because my son was about the same age then that I was when I started watching the original show.  He loved it when it was on the air, but hadn't seen it in years.  Now, with the release of the complete series, including the never before released on DVD third season, we got the chance to watch it again!  He's almost 12 now and this DVD set has re-invigorated his enjoyment of not only this series, but the entire franchise.  This show sports a fantastic new art design and an excellent serialized storyline that gives this show a depth that many toons don't offer anymore.  I cannot recommend this one enough.

Synopsis: Celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Alexander! Collectible 10th-anniversary edition includes the never-before-seen Ultimate Cut, The Art of Alexander photo book and insightful filmmaker correspondence. Based on the life of Alexander the Great, the epic historical drama is directed by Oliver Stone and features Colin Farrell in the title role. Two versions of the film will be included in this release – the theatrical cut and the forthcoming “Ultimate Cut.” Also included is the brand New documentary The Real Alexander and the World He Made which reveals how Alexander the Great’s vision of uniting East and West helped shape our modern world, and illuminates how different our lives might have been had his empire not fractured upon his untimely death at the age of 32. 

Review:  Alexander is one of my all-time favorite action films.  Its got it all...romance, drama, action.  The film isn't exactly historically accurate, but its damned entertaining!  This ultimate edition is a dream come true!  Not only can I upgrade to the high-definition blu-ray version, but there are tons of special features and a really great art book included with the boxed set!  The special features include: 40-Page Art Book with Concept Drawings, Storyboards and Behind-the-Scenes Photos Collectible Packaging Correspondence Memos Between Oliver Stone and the Cast and Crew New Documentary The Real Alexander and the World He Made The Ultimate Cut Commentary by Oliver Stone Original Theatrical Version and Commentary Sean Stone’s Feature-Length Documentary Fight Against Time: Oliver Stone’s Alexander And much more!  We highly recommend this one!  Anyone would be thrilled to get this one for Father's Day!

Synopsis:  The Adventures of Batman is an American animated television series produced by Lou Schiemer's Filmation Studios, which first broadcast as part of The Batman/Superman Hour in 1968.  Each of the 34 shorts features over-the-top characters and catchy dramatic music cues, giving this version of Batman a realistic look and feel—by cartoon standards of the day. The film’s colors are vibrant, exciting and truly exemplify the character of these original films.

Review: Batman is one of the most popular comic book heroes in the world, so you would assume that all of the animated incarnations were already released on DVD, but that just isn't the case.  Now, with this release, we get a step closer to completion!  This is the first true Batman cartoon.  It was produced by the legendary Filmation studios.  This single DVD represents the complete series, so its a great one-stop buy to help complete your collection.  This cartoon is a lot of fun, as long as you're looking for the 'white knight' version of Batman that we got from the 1966 Batman TV show.  We highly recommend picking this one up, its a must for any real Bat-Fan!

Synopsis: THE NUTTY PROFESSOR is now available on Blu-ray, in a brand-new 50^th Anniversary four-disc Collector’s Edition, including a new featurette called “Jerry Lewis: No Apologies,” an intimate look at “The King of Comedy,” a 48-page book of the film’s original story boards, a 44-page book of excerpts from Jerry’s cutting script with personal notes, and a recreated “Being a Person” book – written exclusive for the film’s crew.  Two other Lewis comedies, Cinderfella and The Errand Boy are included in the set.

Review: The true comedy film is a lost art these days.  I find myself looking back to classics like the Nutty Professor and other Jerry Lewis films, because movies like this are timeless.  This new boxed set brings the classic film to blu-ray in a great collector's edition that is beyond definitive!  The book is a fantastic accompanyment, not to mention the great extras on the blu-ray.  This set also gives us a few other films with Cinderfella and The Errand Boy.  I had seen Cinderfella before, but not The Errand Boy.  I absolutely loved both of them and have already had a really fun viewing night with the family.  These films are great for those with kids that still want to laugh!

Synopsis: The first season of Falling Skies takes place in the aftermath of an alien attack that left Earth a shell of its former self. Led by Tom Mason (Noah Wyle), a history professor, a group of human survivors who call themselves 2nd Massachusetts band together to make a stand against the alien invaders. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Review: There are a lot of great shows on television these days, but very little in the way of sci-fi.  Falling Skies fills a gap that was desperately desired with a science fiction show that can be watched seriously.  No cheese and no camp.  This show is hardcore drama.  Season three of the show really picked up with a whole new angle.  There is yet another alien race that has landed on earth, but these ones are claiming to want to help the humans defeat their wicked invaders.  The question is, do they have other more sinister motives?   There is so much intrigue and action..this one is not to be missed!

Academy Award® winner* Jack Palance stars in this terrifying adaptation of Bram Stoker s classic vampire legend written for the screen by sci-fi/horror master Richard Matheson and produced by the legendary Dan Curtis (Dark Shadows). Palance is Count Dracula, whose centuries-old existence is threatened after he attacks the lovely Lucy Westenra (Fiona Lewis) and her fiancé (Simon Ward, The Tudors) calls in famed vampire hunter Dr. Van Helsing (Nigel Davenport) to investigate.  Filmed on location in England and Yugoslavia, DAN CURTIS DRACULA has been transferred and restored in 2K High Definition from the original 35mm camera negative and presented here on Blu-Ray for the first time!

*Best Supporting Actor 1992  - City Slickers

Special Features: Interviews, Trailer, Alternate Ending

Review: There are so many versions of Dracula spanning so many decades, how do you choose one to watch?  Well, there are the classics, but there is also this fantastic adaptation from 1973 starring Jack Palance as the prince of the undead.   This blu-ray release is a really fun watch and one that I hadn't seen in decades!  It was made by Dan Curtis, of Dark Shadows fame (the show not the Burton film!).  I had all but forgotten this version until this blu-ray came out.  The film looks amazing in high-definition and its a lot spooier than I remember, I was very impressed.  This is a must-have for any horror fan!
