DVD Review COMMANDO

This is Arnold during the peak of his career, meaning a constant mix of bloody action sequences and awesomely horrible one-liners. I'm not sure what extra greatness this "Director's Cut" brings, but here's hoping there's at least something interesting in there.

DVD Review BRAZIL (BLU-RAY)

Without question this is one of my top five favorite films of all time from one of my favorite directors, and Criterion's treatment - now on Blu-Ray - is equally epic.

Highly recommended

DVD Review VISIONS OF ECSTASY

This short, experimental film has been tough to get a hold of for years, thanks, in large part, to it being banned in the UK. Now that such a ban has been lifted, we can see for ourselves what the fuss was all about.

DVD Review ROCK OF AGES (BLU-RAY+DVD COMBO)

One of the most critically lambasted and dumped-on films of 2012 comes to Blu-Ray with an extended edition (not always a good thing) and after sitting through this choreographed lovefest to big-haired 1980s rock music I have come to one conclusion. Rock of Ages - I liked it. I may be in the minority, but damn it I liked it.

Say it loud, say it proud: recommended.

DVD Review SPACEBALLS (BLU-RAY)

As a sci-fi parody this uneven comedy isn't Mel Brooks' finest work, but that's not to say it is not without its pleasantly juvenile merits. Sadly, however, this anniversary packaging doesn't offer much not already presented in the 2009 BD release, making it seem somewhat pointless.

DVD Review GRAY'S ANATOMY (BLU-RAY)

I haven't seen this wonderful film since its first home video release, and I can't wait to relive that experience all over again. Steven Soderbergh has come a long way since, but this is still regarded as one of his best works.
