I’m going to pull my curmudgeon card out here, so consider yourself warned. I’d venture to guess most of the people reading this review are among our oldest readers, the people who remember Eric Clapton as a guitarist in Cream, not a solo act whose MTV Unplugged single made him a household name for a […]

Concerts on Blu-ray Disc are a hit-and-miss bunch, and since they’re often soft rock or jazz, seeing a Queensryche concert come out on Blu-ray caused my inner skeptic to surface immediately. Fortunately, Mindcrime at the Moore, the Queensryche concert that was filmed live for this release, impressed me in just about every regard, although a

When Star Trek: The Original Series made its remastered way to Blu-ray Disc a few years back, the knowledge that the video had been overhauled and the audio remastered made thousands of franchise diehards cry foul. How could Gene Roddenberry’s titular sci-fi series be tinkered with? Was Paramount going all George Lucas on the Star

Tora! Tora! Tora! is the kind of movie that only a historical film fan could love. It’s not a terrible film by any means, but it’s the kind of movie with a pacing aimed more at delivering historical accuracy than being an exciting thrill-a-minute ride. If you’re looking for an action-packed very-loose interpretation of the

Home to the first press conference of CES 2012, LG Electronics tried to be the pace car for the rest of the day’s (and show’s) proceedings. No matter how hard a slew of bad jokes tried to bring them down, LG largely succeeded with enough innovative products to justifiably own your entire home electronics ecosystem.

As a parent, I find Toy Story 3 to be an incredibly sad movie. Well scripted, meaningful and great, to be sure, but emotional and sad nonetheless. As a so-called graphics whore, I find Toy Story 3 to be one of 2011’s benchmark CG films, with animations and textures so refined they’d make granular sugar

Toy Story has been out on standard Blu-ray for a while, but its 3D appearance presents a whole new
