 Despite a slew of bad reviews, I'm still excited to see what Tim Burton has in store for the great character of Barnabas Collins. At worst, it sure looks like Depp is having a blast with the role.     Read More...  I'm a huge fan of a handful of Adult Swim shows, but this is one I've yet to see even a single episode of. What better excuse to finally do so than via Warner's fifth DVD collection.   Read More... THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS (BLU-RAY)  The holiday season is right around the corner, and what better way to kick them off then an animated classic...and on Blu-ray no less. Read More... NIGHT COURT: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON  Thanks to Warner Home Video, I'm pumped to revisit Season 4 of my favorite sit com of the 80's. There's still nothing in the way of extra features here, but having each and every episode is good enough. Read More... LOONEY TUNES SUPER STARS: DAFFY DUCK FRUSTRATED FOWL  You simply can never go wrong with anything Looney Tunes-related, so this is sure to be another excellent DVD collection of cartoon classics.  Read More...  After going my whole life without seeing this Best Picture Oscar winner, it took Warner's Blu-ray release for me to finally give it a chance. Read More... PLASTIC MAN: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION  Finally, this wonderful animated series that I grew up on is now available on DVD! Having every episode in one, comprehensive collection only adds to this release's appeal. Read More... A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS (BLU-RAY)  Of all the releases of A Charlie Brown Christmas, this one's the Charlie Browniest. Of course. It is in HD. Read More... NIP/TUCK: SEASON FIVE, PART TWO  The last eight episodes of Season 5 of one of the best shows on TV make their way to DVD just in time for the Season 6 premiere...office visits to McNamara/Troy have never been better. Read More...  Maybe I'm just jaded, but I didn't find this overhyped horror flick to be as "shocking" or "unsettling" as suggested. That said, there's enough to appreciate to warrant a viewing. Read More... SMALLVILLE: THE COMPLETE EIGHTH SEASON  Smallville. Season eight. Yeah, I'm as shocked as you are. More so that the show seems to have improved somewhat despite the departure of about half the original cast. Read More... ONE TREE HILL: THE COMPLETE SIXTH SEASON  Love it or hate it, the show is increasing in popularity. There is a big risk to its continuance with the significant cast changes in store for the next season. The DVD provides the nice "soap-opera-on-disc" continuity that allows the viewer to blend the episodes together and find new levels of continuity that are not available in the weekly, commercial interrupted versions. Read More...  The umpteenth repackaging of the popular Peanuts TV specials includes a few that are new to DVD and a great documentary on composer Vince Guaraldi. Read More... SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS 1960S VOLUME 1  A nostalgic set of cartoon fun from the 1960s, one can find a lot entertainment in these old-school cartoons starring The Flintstones, QuickDraw McGraw, Space Ghost, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and more. Read More... TOM AND JERRY: THE CHUCK JONES COLLECTION  Although these cartoons are available in other DVD collections, it's nice to have them all in one nice package. Read More...  Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson decide to do a bunch of things before they die while Rob Reiner directs them.
Read More...  Don't let the presence of Richard Gere and Diane Lane fool you, this is a dull and manipulative drama that falls woefully short of its potential. Read More... FORBIDDEN HOLLYWOOD COLLECTION, VOLUME THREE  Six films' worth of pre-Code goodness, from the TCM Archives. Read More...  The title might make you assume the worst, but this low-budget horror trip is a solid little movie that's worth a glance. Read More... AN AMERICAN IN PARIS (BLU-RAY)  It's hard to imagine a picture that features a ton of George Gershwin music, Gene Kelly dancing and striking Technicolor photography being messed up, but the grossly-overrated 1951 Oscar-winner for Best Picture certainly does what it can to be appalling, grating and tedious all at once. Dragged down by a moronic plot, lack of chemistry between the leads, excruciating casting, and shockingly poor integration of the music into the story, it's unfathomable how this movie retains its reputation. Read More...  Jim Carrey is back and very nearly in full, legendary comedic form with Yes Man. This romantic comedy riff on self-help gurus smartly avoids the huge mistakes that the similar-themed The Love Guru made, and Carrey exhibits the comedic timing that he often showcased during his heyday. Warner's Blu-ray is a great disc, complete with wonderful extras, including some HD exclusives. Read More...
