Wall-E (Three-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray] + Digital Copy
Monday, September 22, 2008
WALL-E DVD The highly acclaimed director of FINDING NEMO and the creative storytellers behind CARS and RATATOUILLE transport you to a galaxy not so far away for a new cosmic comedy adventure about a determined robot named WALL-E. After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, the curious and lovable WALL-E discovers a new purpose in life when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. Join them and a hilarious cast of characters on a fantastic journey across the universe. Transport yourself to a fascinating new world with Disney-Pixar's latest adventure, now even more astonishing on DVD and loaded with bonus features, including the exclusive animated short film BURN-E. WALL-E is a film your family will want to enjoy over and over again.
Another great Pixar film
Pixar has done it again. Wall-E, Pixar's 9th feature film, is another great one. It has a terrific storyline that is both funny and heartfelt.
Wall-E, which stands for Waste Allocator Load Lifter - Earth Class, is a lonely robot that has been on Earth for hundreds of years, programmed to clean up the mess humans left behind. It got so bad that humans actually had to leave the planet. One day a spacecraft lands and a robot named EVE starts to explore Earth. Wall-E is immediately smitten with her. When the spacecraft comes back to get her, Wall-E follows along, and unwittingly becomes involved in an exciting adventure.
You may have heard that large portions of the film do not have human dialogue in them, but please don't let that discourage you from seeing the film. The lack of dialogue really works and some of the best scenes do not contain human dialogue. There are some messages in the movie involving such things as environmentalism, global warming, and what could happen to our planet if we continue down our current path. A small percentage of people didn't seem to like that, but the overwhelming majority of people will enjoy this film regardless.
This film is entertaining for both adults and children, which explains its widespread appeal. It's good enough to watch multiple times. One of the better films of 2008, Wall-E is definitely worth checking out.
Wall-E is rated G and runs for 98 minutes.

The Forbidden Kingdom (2-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray] Homage to Kung Fu films of yesterday
Growing up watching Shaw Brother films, cartoons and stories told of the monkey king, drunken kung fu, tiger claw, bride with white hair, and so forth. This film does a nice job of westernizing and paying homage to these type of films. The action was non-stop. Good chemistry among Jackie and Jet. Michael Angarano know to me as Elliot on Wil and Grace did a superb job. Pretty girl Sparrow (I never saw her in any films before) you know she's an upcoming actress. Did I mention Woo Ping choreographed too?
DVD wise -- colorful characters, colors are vivid. Nice special features.

HULK SMASHED THE BOXOFFICE
This movie was epic, out of all comic book movies this one is my favorite. The blu-ray version shall be perfection!
They Got It Right This Time!
Being a huge fan of the tv series, and not a huge fan of the first one, I have to admit I was skeptical. After seeing this in the theater, I was not disappointed! It feels a lot more like the tv series, which I love. The big green guy definitely delivers this time with the action scenes, which were probably the best of the superhero flicks this year (school yard scene was incredible!).
Edward Norton was great also, although I'm very interested in seeing what his version would have been. His dialog does seem stripped down for the first half hour, which definitely has that "Bourne" feel to it. I think if they would have met somewhere in the middle on this section of the movie it would have been perfect.
The blu-ray on this release is a must have with all the features that are going to be included, and the limited ed. "green-ray" box art. IMO, 2nd best movie of the summer behind The Dark Knight.

Sex and the City - The Movie (Special Edition) Confidence is the New Black
Three hundred costume changes over two and a half hours. And that was just me figuring out what to wear.
We are celebrating chickdom here, guys. We are coming out of our respective closets, whether they're walk-in, hole-in-the-wall, or fab-fantastical Carrie's, and we are holding the supreme estro-fest. I could not find a single heterosexual guy brave enough to see it with me. It's ok that you don't get it. Go watch Indiana Jones again. In other words..... shoo! Or perhaps, shoe!
That's the nice thing about the Internet, isn't it guys? You wouldn't be caught dead at the movie, but you can peek at this Barbie-pink review and no one will be the wiser. Tsk, tsk. Smooch. Buy it and watch it at home. I promise I won't tell.
This is an event first and a movie second, so my primary concern was, of course, what to wear. The stiletto cam at the premiere screamed designer heels. Sadly, my Manolo Blahniks were in the shop. Someone else's shop. But as a loyal fan, I buffed my spike heels and blinged my body to go sit in a dark theater with my sisters. Did I look great? Yes. Could anyone see me? No. Do I feel the need to explain why I did that? Puh-lease.
As an event, it is all about the fun, the fashion, the fling. That's the level at which I took the movie, and

Every episode tops the previous.
Heroes started at 10/10, and it only went upwards from there. Season 1 was amazing, and Season 2 started where S1 left off and kept improving. This Bluray was a sure buy and I look forward to watching it in full 1080p/DTS this weekend, counting the days until 22 Sept...

James Bond - England's 007
If you a James Bond fan then this is for you. I have never really enjoyed James Bond until I got older and joined the military. However now that I have gotten older I really have enjoyed the character. I know it is a lot of money at first but if you buy the complete set then you are paying an extremely low price than buying each of them individually. If you go to the Used section you can find this set even cheaper. I have never had a problem with buying this way and I purchased the set brand new from an individual dealer at about 30.00 dollars less than through Amazon directly. I usually look for those individuals with a credit rating of 95 to 100. If you have an issue then Amazon will help you out. I have never lost money this way. So, If you are a James Bond fan then don't wait. This takes you from the beginning of the James Bond Films to the Last one that hit the theaters not that long ago.
