Blu-ray Review: Love Actually

Love Actually is a film about… well, love.  More importantly is how love is defined by many different people.  Love Actually follows the stories of several individuals as they search, discover, and escape love.  All of them are very entertaining and all intertwine throughout.  With a cast containing a who’s who of British actors, Love Actually is a great romantic comedy that has a little something for every type of viewer.
 

Blu-ray Review: Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian

Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian is the follow up to Ben Stiller’s 2006 comedy/adventure film Night at the Museum. This sequel comes with a bigger budget, a much larger cast, more special effects, and a lot more adventure. Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian is a very charming, albeit silly movie that everyone in the family will enjoy. 

 

Game Review: Alone in the Dark: Inferno (PS3)

Back at Comic Con 2008, I first heard about a game that was so realistic, and immersive they had done away with the HUD (Heads Up Display). I was told that this game draws you in so close, you can feel the horror. Alone in the Dark: Inferno is that game. This PS3 version is the “fixed” re-release of the game that was originally for XBox 360, PC, and PS2.

Alone in the Dark originated the 3D survival horror genre in 1992, and with this new release to revitalize the dated series. And please, if you’ve seen the film that was loosely based on this series, even though the Christian Slater movie was listed by the Guinness Book as the lowest grossing video game movie of all time, give this new 2008 game a chance.

Blu-ray Review: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Princeis Warner Bros. sixth movie in the HP universe based on the best-selling books.  Continuing the story from Order of the Phoenix, Harry is tasked with finding the reason for Lord Voldemort’s ability to resurrect himself after his repeated defeats.  Half-Blood Prince is by far the funniest of the HP movies and sticks close to its hard bound counterpart save a few liberties taken by the screenplay writers. The Blu-ray version is a welcome addition to any fans collection and is another show case for the house that Sony built.
