Tag: High Definition Optical Discs (Blu-ray and HD DVD)

I was really tempted to pick “Drive Angry” as my pick…and then I watched it, so that was the easiest decision in my life–it feels like Nic Cage is becoming the new Segal, just going from one weird action movie to the next. This one was just boring throughout IMO. Outside of “American Graffiti” there’s not much else that had […]

It only took the company going bankrupt, almost disappearing, and getting bought out by Dish, to FINALLY wake up and smell the coffee that people will not pay $5 to rent the same movie they can rent for $1 ANYWHERE ELSE! Kudos to the Dish management for making this happen quickly, it may very well save what’s left of the […]

Sheesh, what a tough week. I will mention Platoon, which is one of the best Vietnam war movies ever made, I really wanted to make it my pick but figured I should stick to something a bit more recent. But if you have never seen it, what a better way than on its new Blu-ray release. MissingRemote’s Pick of the […]

Decent week of movies this week, actually a fair amount of new ones. Don’t be confused by the B-movie rip-off of Thor, it’s not the real one. The Roomate was absolutely horrendous and I like thrillers. As much as I enjoyed Anthony Hopkins in the real Thor, I couldn’t stand The Rite as it was basically an Exorcist knockoff.

Finally we have a week with lots of good options! I know I’m going to get a ton of grief for not choosing the fantastic Alien Anthology, which was a very close second for the pick. Butch Cassidy is an all time classic western which was entertaining even in present day. Some Like it Hot, another classic older film featuring […]

If you have a bunch of DVDs laying around and don’t want to sell them elsewhere, this actually sounds like a good deal. Just don’t try to remember how much you paid for these movies originally…unless it was via Colombia House, in which case I’m sure you saved a lot. Consumers can bring up to five DVD titles per store […]

These weeks are killing me! Half of these titles I did not even recognize, and while my heart really wanted to pick From Dusk Til Dawn, a classic Robert Rodriguez film featuring George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino, where the plot is literally these bank robbers who go to a bar in Mexico that basically ends up being full of Vampires. […]

I know the list of movies here is long, but at a closer look there’s almost nothing new that actually stands out. The Queen was supposed to be great with Helen Mirren, and while she was hilarious on SNL, I haven’t seen it yet. Lots of good kung-fu releases for you fans, and lots of re-issues on Blu-ray. MissingRemote’s Pick […]

Another week of not a lot of super star picks here. If you like kung fu, Ip Man 2 I’ve heard many good things about. Street Kings 2 has Ray Liotta in it…he was in Goodfellas, so that has to count for something right? Eh…onto the easiest pick of the week EVER… MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week   The King’s […]
