Blu-ray Review: Stargate Universe- 1.0
Every so often when a franchise has been around for a long time you start to see it stagger. From rehashing old ideas and plots, retconning several facts or events to becoming too weighted down by the past canonized events of itself, all in the name of trying to keep the series going and pushing forwards. We have seen this happen to many sci-fi series through the years such as Star Trek, Star Wars, Red Dwarf and most recently the Stargate series, which has just recently passed its 15th anniversary.
DVD Review: Sinbad: Where U Been?
The rumors and Wikipedia are wrong! Sinbad didn’t retire, die, or join a band. In fact, he just got done pulling off the best stand-up show of his career. Nothing about Sinbad: Where U Been? is ordinary and all of it kicks a stage full of ass. Fans of stand-up comedy are in for a treat; if you can’t walk away from this laughing, you may need to check your pulse.

There is a convoluted connection between Rasetsu and Yako, and now complications are developing with Kuryu Iwatsuki, another psychic at the agency.
Blu-ray Review: Women in Trouble
For 2009's Women in Trouble, director Sebastian Gutierrez took several actresses we're used to seeing in bland supporting roles – the type where you know you recognize her but cannot remember from where – and pushed them into starring roles in a Ritchie-esque ensemble cast. The result is an unexpectedly entertaining work complete with mile high clubs, coked out musicians, attempted kidnappings, ass-less spandex pants, hilarious confessions and some genuine, if not slightly campy, heart in between all that lingerie.
Movie Review: Shutter Island
(This is a joint movie review by julie and sarahh)
Eddie Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) is not comfortable on the water, to the point where he gets more than queasy – he is downright nauseous. But it's the price he pays in order for him and his partner, fellow U.S. Marshal Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), to use the ferry which takes them to Shutter Island, situated in Boston Harbor, on official business. A prisoner of the facility there has escaped. This is no ordinary facility, but an insane asylum for the criminally insane – in other words, whackjobs with issues and a penchant for violence. Great combination. And on top of that, Eddie can't find his smokes.
