DVD Review: Archer Season 1

Within the past decade or so, the amount of animated shows for mature audiences has been on the rise. Shows like Family Guy, Futurama, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Space Ghost: Coast to Coast have gained much popularity for pushing the envelope from what people are normally use to seeing and experiencing in animated tv series. It helps that Cartoon Network developed their own sub-channel, Adult Swim, dedicated entirely to such adult programming. Adam Reed who got his start working for Adult Swim and Williams Street creating and writing such shows as SeaLab 2021, Frisky Dingo and the aforementioned Space Ghost: Coast to Coast captured people’s attentions with his fast paced, Arrested Development style writing and brand of off-beat quirky humor and quickly gained himself a small cult following of fans for it. His newest show, Archer, continues in his previous shows footsteps and yet greatly surpasses all of them in numerous ways. Now you can own Archer Season 1 on DVD!

Blu-ray Review: Wall Street – Money Never Sleeps

In 1986, the economy was strong. It was the “Me” Decade, and Wall Street was thriving. The brokerage firms of Wall Street had just gone through the insider trading scandals just a few years before, and confidence of the market had been shaken just a bit. The time was ripe to make a movie about Wall Street, and the excesses of those who worked there.  That year, Oliver Stone released the movie Wall Street, where he villainizes the corporate raiders of the film and the greed-filled society where everyone lived in a way that actually glamorized them, and created the current markets and the people who run them. In 2010, twenty-three years later Oliver Stone decided to revisit that world, and bring along one of the characters of the original film, Gordon Gekko, the Villain that everyone seemed to love, and wanted to imitate. In the sequel, Stone treads the waters of the market a couple of years back, during the recent financial collapse.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps follows the stories of both Gordon Gekko as he navigates the current economic market, and Jake Moore in his current life as a stockbroker, and his relationship with Winnie (Gordon’s daughter).

Now you can own Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps on Blu-ray!
