Blu-ray Review: Batman Begins – Limited Edition Giftset
As a die-hard Batman fan it was 2005’s Batman Begins that restored my faith in the movie franchise. After things had started out so promising with Tim Burton’s edgy, exciting Batman back in 1989, each successive film seemed to get more ridiculous and channel the campy style of the 1966-68 television series. Co-written and directed […]

Blu-ray Review: There Will Be Blood
Hands down, Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the most talented actors working in films today. He resists the temptation to turn out movie after movie, often taking three, four even five years between big screen performances. However, each time he graces the screen whether he’s playing a man with cerebral palsy in My Left Foot […]
DVD Review: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Sometimes you come across the kind of movie that leaves you completely spent and emotionally drained but glad to have seen it–the film is the kind of movie you’d volunteer to go see over and over again, but you recommend it to all your friends. Schindler’s List did that to me back in 1993, and […]
DVD Review: P.S. I Love You
Hilary Swank’s recent film career is sort of like a championship runner; they either win the gold medal or finish completely out of the top three. In 2000, at the age of 26, Swank won an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Brandon Teena in Boys Don’t Cry. Hilary […]
DVD Review: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark – Special Edition
Snakes. Why’d it have to be snakes? –Indiana Jones On the beaches of Hawaii in the summer of 1977, George Lucas and “director for hire” Steven Spielberg decided to make an adventure movie that hearkened back to the old, cheaply made adventure serials of the 1930’s. George Lucas had a story idea for an adventurous […]
DVD Review: Juno
When Juno was released in December of 2007, I paid very little attention. Knee deep in the throes of yet another Christmas season, a movie about a pregnant teenager wasn’t registering very high on my must-see list. Though I was thoroughly amused by director Jason Reitman’s 2005 film, Thank You For Smoking, I just didn’t […]
DVD Review: Cloverfield
With an aggressive marketing campaign, Cloverfield was poised to make a splash on the theatrical scene. Like The Blair Witch Project and Snakes on a Plane before it, the buzz started in earnest on the internet. For awhile, the film was simply known as 1-18-08 in cyberspace and clues, theories and plot points were showing […]
