DVD Review: Burn Notice – Season Four

 
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
 
For the past few seasons Burn Notice has been a very entertaining yet very formulaic show. Matt Nix, the mastermind behind the series, noticed that both critics and viewers were becoming a bit bored with the old “Michael takes on a case to help someone from bad people, while slowly piecing together who the main villain of the season is, with a new clue popping up at the end of every episode” dog-and-pony-show. Thus, Season Four set out to change the approach to the show in several ways.

Movie Review: Green Lantern

by Matt Sernaker, Senior Editor

After years of waiting, fans of Green Lantern are finally rewarded with a big screen adaptation of their favorite ring slinging hero. Without any question, this IS a Green Lantern movie. All of the elements that fans would hope to see brought to life now exist on screen for the first time ever. To be a Green Lantern, you must have the ability to overcome fear, and while there was much debate over the final quality of this film (mostly concerning casting choices and CGI), I believe that audiences will be pleasantly surprised by the story of Hal Jordan of Earth.

Have no fear, but beware of minor spoilers!

Blu-ray Review: Superman: The Motion Picture Anthology 1978-2006


Walking is for suckers

by Matt Sernaker, Senior Editor

It’s a bird!
It’s a plane!
It’s the Superman Motion Picture Anthology 1978-2006, now available for you to own on Blu-ray!

Watch as Superman takes on Lex Luthor, General Zod, Lex Luthor, Richard Pryor, Lex Luthor, and….(wait for it…) LEX LUTHOR! Wow…that’s not a lot of variety in the villain department, and really, listing Richard Pryor as the “villain” of Superman III is kind of a stretch. Now fans can witness all of the cinematic adventures of The Man of Steel in glorious high definition in this new 8-disc set.
