Prince Caspian — Blu-ray Review

Gord Lacey — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 18:14:00 -0500

I have a distinct memory of the local librarian leading me over to a wall of books where she pulled The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe from a shelf and handed it to me, saying "Gordon, you'll love this series of books." She was right; I read all the books in The Chronicles of Narnia series over the following months, and the series remains a childhood favorite. I loved the first movie when it came out a couple of years ago, and I was eager to watch Prince Caspian on Blu-ray, since I missed it in the theater. The movie joins Peter, Susan, Lucy and Edmond Pevensie as they return to the land of Narnia only to find it's not quite the place they left behind. The Telmarines have taken over the land, nearly causing the extinction of the Narnians, and now their nation is in a state of upheaval as the heir to the throne, Prince Caspian, has been chased from his throne by his Uncle. The Pevensie siblings battle with the Prince to restore him to the throne, and bring peace back to the land of Narnia.

WALL-E — Blu-ray Review

Gord Lacey — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 19:06:00 -0500

For hundreds of years WALL-E has compacted trash into nice stackable cubes, but one day he receives a visitor, EVE, a beautiful, sleek search robot. Her arrival leads WALL-E on a trip that's out of this world. This is the ninth smash hit for Pixar, and now it's available on DVD and Blu-ray.

I've loved the Pixar movies ever since I caught Luxo Jr and Knick Knack playing in theaters back when I was a 'tween (though we weren't called that yet). The stories are always phenomenal, and the characters are brought to life through the animation. Pixar has always been able to bring such personality and emotion to inanimate objects, whether it's a lamp, or a robot. WALL-E is an excellent example of the emotion Pixar breathes into their characters.

Band of Brothers Blu-ray — Review

Adam Bryant — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 22:51:00 -0500

Band of Brothers Blu-ray" style="margin:0 5px 5px" />

Simply put, one of the finest television events ever to be broadcast is now even finer in this stunningly wonderful Blu-ray version of HBO's gripping Emmy- and Golden Globe- winning World War II miniseries. And while HBO touts the original DVD release as the best-selling TV-on-DVD release of all time, every one of those original buyers should consider the upgrade. Never before has the Tom Hanks- and Steven Spielberg-produced look at the men of Easy Company looked or sounded so amazing (and that's a feat considering the audio on the standard DVD was heads and shoulders above its competitors.) Seriously, if you want to experience this masterpiece in its finest form, look no further.

Packaged in an "ammo box" metal tin like the original release, the six-disc set features

So you have a list of people to buy for and no idea what to get them, right? Been there, suffered through that. And children, I can only offer you two options: piss off a bunch of friends over Thanksgiving so you don't have to get them anything, or head to the DVD section. Because nothing says "I put more thought into this than you deserve" than a movie starring some of their fave TV faces. And they're so easy to wrap!

Fraggle Rock Complete Series Collection — Review

Adam Bryant — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 11:10:00 -0500

It's been 25 years since Jim Henson introduced us to the Fraggles, some of his most psychedelic Muppet creations. And for anyone with fond memories of Red, Mokey, Wembley, Gobo and Boober(!) and all their subterranean friends, this set is sure to put a smile on your face. The 20-disc collection features more than 47 hours of Fraggle fun, including all four seasons of the show. However, the only way to own the fourth and final season is to buy this collection, something that will no doubt upset fans who have bought the first three seasons separately.

In addition to the series, the set features ...

Baraka — Blu-ray Review

Gord Lacey — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 20:05:00 -0500

It's hard to describe Baraka to someone who hasn't seen the movie before because there's no plot to the movie, and no dialog. The title is a Sufi word that translates to "the thread that weaves life together," and Baraka is a movie that connects people, animals and locations together using some of the most amazing visuals you'll find in a movie. The filmmakers journeyed to 24 countries on 6 continents and shot footage using a custom-built, computer-controlled camera (this was back in 1991, amazing!). It's an amazing work of art, and something you'll want to watch over and over.

Adam Bryant — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Bada bing! At long last, the seedy adventures of Tony Soprano & Co. finally arrive on shelves in one complete package. While we could argue about the merits of the show all day (and don't even get us started on that ending), the No. 1 question in every consumer's mind as it relates to this set is the price tag. Is this beautifully and carefully designed package really worth $400 bucks? Like most things in David Chase's world, the answer is a bit complicated ...

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Complete Series — Review

Adam Bryant — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 17:32:00 -0500

James Bond fans, new and old, behold: a TV series (and DVD set) after your own heart. This release, handsomely packaged in an attaché case, features all 105 episodes of the Golden-Globe winning series that combined foreign spying with 1960s cool like no other show. Starring Robert Vaughn and David McCallum (who's still going strong on NCIS), the unlikely partners approached every case and in their own wacky, tongue-in-cheek style, attempted to thwart the plots of THRUSH, both stateside and abroad.
