04/19/09

This Spike Lee joint doesn't stray far from his cultural norm, but it shouldn't have strayed from WWII either.

Zodiac Blu-ray Review

04/07/09

This good looking and great sounding film may not solve the mystery, but it makes for a must-own Disc.

The grimacing game character comes to HD life, but not even Mark Wahlberg can save this one.

01/20/09

A beautiful film and transfer, but the number of bonus features and their standard-def presentation is disappointing.

The HD extras are great, but the romantic comedy structure is insanely predictable, even for the genre.

01/12/09

Fun action is undone by some rather "out there" elements, and the audio and video are only so so.

01/05/09

Heath Ledger's Joker magic hits Blu-ray in spectacular fashion, but the bonuses could've been beefier.

01/04/09

A great show is presented with generally great video and audio, although a few broadcast inconsistencies arise.

12/22/08

A fantasy film for which the Blu-ray bonus features and production qualities fulfill just as many fantasies.

It's got a metric ton of bonus features, but you've got to be a huge fan of Will Ferrell to want this.

Wanted Blu-ray Review

12/02/08

This stylized action film is a must-own for anyone interested in powerful tales and HD video.

Universal Soldier Blu-ray Review

11/26/08

Dolph Lundgren saves the movie from disaster, while the 1080p transfer saves the Blu-ray transfer.

11/21/08

This heartwarming if predictable story is presented perfectly on Blu-ray, with incredible visuals and audio.

The Ultimate Matrix Collection Blu-ray Review

11/14/08

The anti-hero bits are funny, but the movie is quite schizophrenic, and its bonus features are a let down.

Romancing the Stone Blu-ray Review

11/14/08

Still entertaining after more than 20 years with a nice video presentation, but the extras aren't well rounded.

11/12/08

U-571 Blu-ray Review

10/08/08

Great audio and good video make for a nice showpiece, not necessarily a great movie experience.

Grey's Anatomy: Season Four Expanded Blu-ray Review

10/08/08

If you're looking forward to season five, the doctor is definitely "in" with this new release.

10/07/08

The least impressive Indy Jones film delivers on Blu-ray, with a massive feature list and good A/V.

09/23/08

Jerry Maguire Blu-ray Review

09/23/08

09/19/08

The audio has gotten a nice upgrade, but the video ends up being too crisp for its own good.

Heroes: Season 1 Blu-ray Review

09/16/08

It's a great season and has some great audio upgrades, but the video noise is troubling, and the set's rather spendy.

The Forbidden Kingdom Blu-ray Review

09/13/08

Jackie Chan and Jet Li could've created a martial-arts masterpiece, but their deference undermines the experience.

Made of Honor Blu-ray Review

09/13/08

Amazingly, this romantic comedy is made with men in mind. No, you didn't mis-read that.

08/30/08

One of the best westerns ever made comes to Blu-ray, but its A/V aspects are only hit and miss.

Smart People Blu-ray Disc Review

08/28/08

"Depressing romantic comedy" is an intriguing but odd combination, and the A/V aspects are lacking.

Great A/V aspects complement a great story, but weak extras don't do justice to the movie's depth.

Redbelt Blu-ray Disc Review

Not one of Mamet's best works, but an intriguing look at the business side of Hollywood and Jiu-jitsu.

08/18/08

The Holocaust story may have won an Oscar, but its Blu-ray appearance isn't nearly as astounding.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose (Unrated) Blu-ray Review

08/04/08

The mix of courtroom drama and horror film is surprisingly good, and the A/V aspects hold up well.

Batman: Gotham Knight Blu-ray Review

08/04/08

Its six episodes are too disparate, too short and animated too differently for a truly compelling experience.

The Ruins Unrated Version Blu-ray Disc Review

08/03/08

It's got all the stereotypical teens and blood you need, but it starts too slowly and has serious plot deficiencies.

Earth: The Biography Blu-ray Review

08/01/08

The BBC once again strikes documentary gold, but a thesis and A/V issues seem more like iron pyrite.

Stargate Continuum Blu-ray Disc Review

07/31/08

The cast reunion is nice and story is good, but a few plot holes and inconsistent VFX are disappointing.

Point Break Blu-ray Disc Review

07/28/08

Keanu's wooden and the plot's predictable, but the film's still fun, and its multimedia has aged well.

Batman Begins Limited Edition Blu-ray Review

07/24/08

With Batman fever gripping the nation, this outstanding Blu-ray Disc couldn't be better timed.

Batman: The Movie Blu-ray Review

07/08/08

The original 1960s phenom makes a good Blu-ray debut, but some aspects should return to the Bat Cave.

Gangs of New York Blu-ray Disc Review

07/02/08

Scorsese's 2002 epic is a great film, but its Blu-ray appearance doesn't match that quality.

06/24/08

Clint Eastwood's classic cop goes HD, and it makes us feel lucky.

Men in Black Blu-ray Disc Review

06/19/08

This is still a great film, and its Blu-ray presentation thrives on excluive features and functionality.

ZZ Top Live From Texas Blu-ray Review

06/17/08

The classic '80s band is still going strong, as is the A/V presentation on this disc.

Jumper Blu-ray Disc Review

06/11/08

A fantastic premise is undone by lazy filmmaking that hopes special effects can carry the load.

Patton Blu-ray Review

06/10/08

The General has never looked, sounded or performed better than in this high-definition call to duty.

Rambo III Blu-ray Review

06/04/08

Rambo 3 was generally disowned as part of the series, a fact that this Blu-ray won't easily overcome.

Space Ace Blu-ray Disc Review

05/30/08

At one point in time, Dragon's Lair and Space Ace were the epitome of quality. That time has passed.

Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe Blu-ray Review

05/28/08

Whether you think it's got religious undertones or not, this film's two-disk Blu-ray set is very well produced.

05/27/08

Say what you will about the film, but this Blu-ray release is the best the movie has ever looked.

Youth Without Youth Blu-ray Review

05/26/08

Coppola may be tangentially associated with this film, but it's a blemish on his tangential resume.

Semi-Pro Unrated Edition Blu-ray Review

05/19/08

Will Ferrell looks an awful lot like Bill Walton, but his acting is far worse. Good thing he's funny.

Indiana Jones: The Adventure Collection DVD Review

Next Blu-ray Disc Review

05/16/08

One of Paramount's holdovers from the HD-VD stint makes its Blu-ray debut. Biel in HD is the best part.

The Orphanage Blu-ray Review

05/13/08

The sound design is incredible, and the orphaned ghosts are just plain spooky in this great thriller.

Untraceable Blu-ray Review

05/01/08

Cyber-crime fighters is a hard job to translate to the big screen, and this film suffers accordingly.

A Passage to India Blu-ray Review

04/29/08

The characters and plot make for a compelling historical story, although an arguably fringe one.

National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets Blu-ray Review

04/26/08

Nicolas Cage rocks Mount Rushmore, and the movie itself is rockin' too.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen Blu-ray Review

04/22/08

This movie was obscure in the 1980s, and it's even more so today. And Lord help us if we don't love it.

Predator Blu-ray Disc Review

04/15/08

Arnold and Jesse kicked alien butt 20 years ago, and it still looks incredible in 1080p.

Juno Blu-ray Disc Review

04/11/08

There's a reason this indie film won over moviegoers nationwide. It'll do the same with Blu-ray owners too.

No Country for Old Men Blu-ray Disc Review

04/08/08

In an era of big-budget action films, this movie's plot and audio are awesome, especially on Blu-ray.

Commando Blu-ray Disc Review

04/06/08

Way before Alyssa Milano was trying to save baseball, Ah-nuld was trying to save her from terrorists.

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem Unrated Blu-ray Review

04/01/08

After the first AvP film bombed, expectations were low for this one. But how's the Blu-ray Disc stack up?

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium Blu-ray Review

03/25/08

Dustin Hoffman is good at playing a quirky old coot, but even a nice performance can't save the film.

I Am Legend Blu-ray Disc Review

03/12/08

Will Smith finally brings this tale to life, but the solitary setting is quite different for the Fresh Prince.

Hitman (Unrated) Blu-ray Review

03/11/08

The Blu-ray presentation holds up well from an audio and visual standpoint, but the film itself stinks.

Dan In Real Life Blu-ray Review

03/10/08

What happens when The 40 Year Old Virgin becomes the father of three? Good things, theatrically.

The Brave One Blu-ray Disc Review

02/27/08

You don't often encounter a film that conflicts viewers almost as much as its main character.

Life of Brian: The Immaculate Edition Blu-ray Review

02/21/08

Monty Python is the originator of all things polarizing, as this film shows under no uncertain terms.

The Assassination of Jesse James... Blu-ray Disc Review

02/20/08

Jesse James, always a hot commodity in American lore, comes to Blu-ray with largely mixed results.

The Game Plan Blu-ray Disc Review

02/05/08

Playing a football player is a natural role for The Rock. Romantic comedy? That's a new one entirely.

3:10 to Yuma Blu-ray Disc Review

01/30/08

Western movies are an inconsistent bunch, but this is perhaps the best Western in a decade.

The Pianist HD-DVD Review

01/22/08

The downbeat subject makes the film a tough watch, but one can not help but feel uplifted by the extraordinary fight for survival.

Come see what happens when Denzel plays a cop on the edge, complete in 1080p Blu-ray glory.

Good Luck Chuck (Unrated Version) Blu-ray Disc Review

01/15/08

Raunchy comedies are a dime a dozen, but this one is a surprisingly good "me-too."

RENT Blu-ray Disc Review

01/14/08

The Blu-ray audio is perfect for this musical film driven by a great story, but the imagery is way off.

Sunshine Blu-ray Disc Review

01/08/08

Danny Boyle attempts outer-space horror, and the result is a remarkable film with a bad ending.

The Kingdom HD-DVD Review

01/08/08

High-def aficionados need to set aside their stringent presentation beliefs and enjoy a compelling two hours of film.

LOST: Season 3 Blu-ray Disc Review

01/03/08

Seldom do TV shows release on disc with this high a quality.

High School Musical 2: Extended Edition Blu-ray Disc Review

12/31/07

Musicals come and go, but this one's got an army of fans behind it, and some surprisingly good music.

The Simpsons Movie Blu-ray Disc Review

12/24/07

The irreverent mix of political satire, potty humor and skewed family values never looked better.

Dragon Wars Blu-ray Disc Review

12/24/07

Korea's most expensive film was marketed as a complex special-effects masterpiece. Well, it's not.

Balls of Fury HD-DVD Review

12/21/07

Kung fu invaded the world of ping pong, and it works. You could do worse with the Karate Kid sequels.

Shakira: Oral Fixation Tour Blu-ray Disc Review

12/19/07

Most Americans know Shakira for her Colombian hip-swinging. This disc shows she's more than that.

Battlestar Galactica: Season One HD-DVD Review

12/12/07

Despite miscues, this is still the new Battlestar Galactica in high definition, and it still rocks.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 Blu-ray Disc Review

12/10/07

Even a huge Disney fan can't overlook the meandering plot and complete bonus feature snafus.

The Santa Clause 3 Blu-ray Disc Review

12/10/07

The subtitle "escape clause" might actually be what people will look for with this Blu-ray release.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 DVD Review

12/09/07

The movie itself may be lacking, but there's very little to complain about with the DVD presentation.

I Know Who Killed Me Blu-ray Disc Review

12/05/07

Sometimes, hearing a film is crap makes it intriguing. Not here. We want our 106 minutes back.

Ocean's Thirteen Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD Review

11/29/07

As the third film in the reborn series, we shouldn't have expected anything new. And there wasn't.

Die Hard Blu-ray Disc Review

11/28/07

One of the 1980s' most classic action films makes its appearance on Blu-ray with aplomb.

Shrek The Third HD-DVD Review

11/23/07

A fantastic video transfer and great bonus features are hampered a bit by a not-so-magic movie and an audio track that just gets 'er done.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind Blu-ray Disc Review

11/21/07

With a Blu-ray transfer this good, it makes you wonder why other archived movies can't achieve it.

Star Trek: The Original Series Season One HD-DVD Review

11/16/07

The 10-disc Combo Format HD-DVD set is here. Is it just as cool inside the case as it is outside?

Disney/Pixar's Cars Blu-ray Disc Review

11/15/07

This is one of three titles celebrating Pixar's Blu-ray debut, and it impresses in every way.

Ocean's Thirteen DVD Review

11/15/07

As the third film in the reborn series, we shouldn't have expected anything new. And there wasn't.

11/13/07

Kevin Costner actually proves he can act in this film, with a plot and character that suit him well.

Hairspray Blu-ray Disc Review

11/13/07

Why would New Line make this remade musical its Blu-ray debut? Other than pretty colors, we don't know.

11/13/07

The living dead begin to populate the next-generation DVD format, with flesh-eating in 1080p.

Pixar Shorts Collection Vol. 1 Blu-ray Disc Review

11/07/07

Joining Ratatouille and Cars, this collection of shorts has never looked as good as it does in 1080p.

Meet the Robinsons DVD Review

11/05/07

DIsney's latest in-house CGI film comes to home video, doing a decent job on all fronts but not nailing any.

Transformers HD-DVD Review

11/02/07

Back in the mid 1980s, when I was a teenager, I knew very little about the toy/cartoon phenomenon that was The Transformers. I never saw the cartoon; never had the toys and I definitely did not see the 1986 animated feature. In fact, the only thing I really knew about it were two things: one was that the feature film was the one in which the late Orson Wells played a planet. The other was that the God-awful '80s song "The Touch"....

A Room with a View Blu-ray Disc Review

10/31/07

Even a desire to see something other than action films can't inspire me to enjoy this Blu-ray film.

Meet the Robinsons Blu-ray Disc Review

10/30/07

DIsney's latest in-house CGI film hits Blu-ray, doing a decent job on all fronts but not nailing any.

2001: A Space Odyssey HD-DVD Review

10/26/07

For many critics, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey is a boring, drawn out portrait of egotistical filmmaking gone awry. For others, it marks the dawn of a new age of creative photo-realistic special effects and operatic science fiction filmmaking. No matter which side of the fence opinions reside, there's no arguing from either camp that 2001: A Space Odyssey is one of the most beautifully shot films of all time, deserving....

Heroes Season One HD-DVD Review

10/26/07

There's sufficient supplemental material and scores of HD exclusive material to keep everyone happy.

The Reaping Blu-ray Disc Review

10/25/07

As a modern thriller, this film's great. As a Blu-ray Disc, its presentation leaves room to improve.

The Blue Planet: Special Edition DVD Review

10/23/07

Always one for quality "edutainment," the BBC has been on a hot streak since its Planet Earth series and the recent release of Galapagos on Blu-ray Disc. With that as a backdrop, the five-disc special edition DVD of The Blue Planet, a BBC production about life in the ocean, is bound to pique viewers' interest. In some respects this is warranted, as The Blue Planet comes "from the producers of Planet Earth" and includes more than 390 minutes....

Robocop (Unrated) Blu-ray Disc Review

10/19/07

Robocop has been a holy grail of sorts for Blu-ray adopters. Now that we have it, is it any good?

Galapagos Blu-ray Disc Review

10/19/07

It's not only educational, but has one of the best 1080p pictures ever seen on the Blu-ray format.

Halloween (1978) Blu-ray Disc Review

10/18/07

Rob Zombie's remake may be bad, but this original version is still good, even on an updated format.

28 Days Later Blu-ray Disc Review

10/16/07

10/08/07

The TV horror genre is far from dead, as this collection of filmmakers shows in a series of shorts.

Reign Over Me Blu-ray Disc Review

10/08/07

Taking on the subject of a modern war is incredibly sensitive. This failed film shows why.

Jungle Book Platinum Edition DVD Review

10/08/07

With all the attention Disney is paying to the Blu-ray Disc format (hello, Magical Blu-ray Tour), it'd be easy to think the company would forget about the DVD format. But while there's no denying Disney's investment in the Blu-ray format, the company is still standing staunchly behind its DVD releases, as evidenced by the Jungle Book 40th Anniversary Platinum Edition DVD, which boasts one of the best bonus-feature lineups in recent....

Knocked Up HD-DVD Review

10/04/07

The first half of the 2007 summer movie season somewhat...well, sucked. Insufferable cinematic colostomy bags such as Spider-Man 3, Shrek the Third, Ocean's Thirteen and The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer were about as fresh as month-old bread and as entertaining as a tax audit. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End was an enormous mess as well, but it was one you couldn't take your eyes off of. If anything, I....

Day of the Dead Blu-ray Disc Review

10/02/07

Remember to take out your brain for a few hours while you re-live this film, and you'll have a blast.

Bram Stoker's Dracula Blu-ray Disc Review

09/28/07

Numb3rs: The Third Season DVD Review

09/27/07

The third season of Numb3rs ended just four months ago, and already fans can re-live the pivotal third outing with the six-disc Numb3rs: The Third Season DVD collection. Last season covered a lot of ground between the months of September and May, and many fans new to the series will appreciate the quick refresher that this compilation provides. From an agent kidnapping to the investigation of a polygamist cult to a standoff with....

The Last Starfighter HD-DVD Review

09/26/07

Greetings, Starfighter. Those two words from The Last Starfighter perk up the ears of any 30-something privy to the 1980s rash of science fiction films in their heyday. They also recall a historical milestone in filmmaking where a small effects company pioneered the use of computers to create near photo-realistic digital effects in a theatrical picture. No film had attempted the feat prior, not even the original Star Wars trilogy. It was a....

Babel Two-Disc Collector's Edition DVD Review

09/25/07

When Babel hit theaters in 2006, it hit the movie-going world like a surprising and critically acclaimed storm. The movie's three distinct yet connected stories each told an emotional tale that few people saw coming, and the Golden Globes and Academy Awards both recognized the film with a Best Picture award and nomination, respectively.
