DVD Review: The Best of Star Trek – The Original Series
In the last few years, I have become an avid Star Trek fan. Star Trek originally ran for three seasons and eighty episodes, each of which I’ve seen at least twice. It is perhaps unfair to compare my personal Star Trek collection to that of an average consumer, because I have been given review copies […]
DVD Review: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
“I was born under unusual circumstances.” And so begins The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like all of us, who is unable to stop time. Films are a truly fascinating art form; […]
Blu-ray Review: Futurama – Into the Wild Green Yonder
Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder arrives on Blu-ray, the fourth of a planned quartet of direct-to-home-video releases centered on Matt Groening’s (The Simpsons: The Movie) FOX animated television program, Futurama.

Blu-ray Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull marks the fourth installment into one of Hollywood’s most beloved series of films.

Blu-ray Review: Step Up 2: The Streets
Teen Dance movies have been a staple of Hollywood films for a long time. Even before films were referred to as “teen movies,” stars ranging from Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland to John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John to Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer have been out in films laden with the pop music and dance […]
DVD Review: Criminal Minds – The Second Season
CBS is the place to go to fill up on crime drama. In the last seven years or so, Les Moonves and his crew have brought us several flavors of CSI, Without a Trace, and several other crime-related dramas with much success. Criminal Minds, which debuted in 2005, distinguishes itself from the pack with the […]
