Blu-ray Review: Stargate Ark of Truth
For ten amazing years viewers had the privilege of watching the adventures of the military team known as SG-1 travel through the Stargate and travel to new worlds. Then, during the filming of their 200th episode, the staff was notified that the show would not be returning for an 11th year. That would have been good to have known earlier because the team on the show had introduce a new villain called the Ori who were more powerful than any other villain Earth had faced. In order to finish the story and continue the adventures of SG-1 MGM and Fox did the only thing they could: Make a movie! Stargate: The Ark of Truth was released last year as a Direct to DVD feature length film and has finally made its way to Blu-ray!

Blu-ray and DVD Review: Hulk Vs!
Lighting strikes twice with the new dual disc DVD and Blu-ray releases of Hulk Vs. Marvel is kind enough to give us not one, but two different battles featuring the Hulk Vs Wolverine and the Hulk Vs Thor!
Hulk Vs Wolverine
Based on the trailer that Lionsgate released, we were lead to believe that this movie would focus on the original story of Hulk Vs Wolverine from Hulk 181 (which was Wolverine’s first appearance). In reality, the film is a great fight between the two character but has a different focus:
DVD And Blu-Ray Review: Babylon A.D. Raw And Uncut 2 Disc Special Edition
It’s twenty years in the future and the U.S.S.R. is in political and economic turmoil and the United States is automated and sterile. This is the setting of the movie, based on the Maurice G. Dantec novel Babylon Babies, Babylon A.D.
Blu-ray Review: Resident Evil Degeneration
Video games as movies have never done very well in both the eyes of the public or the fans of those games. At best they end up becoming bearable or merely plain “good” and at worst we get anything by Uwe Boll. The Resident Evil movie series so far has had its own share of ups and downs. Based around the game series of the same name, the RE movie series have been about an evil virus making corporation known as “Umbrella” and their plan to make all the world their bitch by turning people into zombies and weird monsters. A group of people find out and attempt to stop them by fighting all the evil monsters that have been unleashed upon the world. The RE movies so far have very very loosely followed the game series storyline with random cameos from game characters and have pretty much failed to win over the fans of the game or movie critics despite Milla Jovovich wearing less and less clothes in each one.
Blu-ray Review: Dexter: The First Season
Dexter has finally come to Blu-ray Disc and now is the perfect time. Showtime has aired three cable-length seasons of this razor-sharp yet frighteningly inviting series about Dexter Morgan, Miami PD forensic blood-spatter specialist by day and bloodletting vigilante by night, and they’ve finally teased us with DVD releases long enough and have finally put out the story arc that started it all in sharper-than-ever 1080p high definition Blu-ray with 5.1 Dolby TrueHD audio.

Blu-ray Review: Ghost Town
Ricky Gervais from the original UK version of The Office finally settled down and stopped being annoying long enough to make a movie where he doesn’t act like a complete twat (to use Brit vernacular). While his character in Ghost Town, Dr. Bertram Pincus, DDS, is like his Office character David Brent in that he’s someone who starts out as someone you would never want to be around, unlike Brent, Pincus doesn’t have to hit bottom before he acts like a human.

Blu-ray Review: Eagle Eye

Blu-ray Review: Serenity
Etta Courum Nas Mehkh!*
Good, now that you’ve calmed down, it’s time to talk about Serenity. Once upon a time there was a little show called Firefly. It was conceived, written and directed by Joss Whedon, who you may remember had a similar relationship with another little multi-media franchise that included Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Angel spinoff. In the Fall of 2002, Joss brought one of the best shows ever written back to the same network that he had brought so much awesomeness to with the Buffy-verse. To show their appreciation, FOX executives in charge of television scheduling that year** did everything in their power to bury, bugger, and bomb this glorious show that was the best of all things Sci-Fi, Western, Action, and Comedy, and was simultaneously all heart.
Blu-ray Review: The X-Files: I Want to Believe
After five years since the television series concluded, The X-Files finally returns with their second cinematic adventure, The X-Files: I Want to Believe
Like many other reviewers I’ve read since the cinematic debut of this film, I wasn’t initially particularly thrilled with the story, but I was very much thrilled to see Mulder and Scully back together again after all these years. This film doesn’t completely fill in the blank since they left the FBI, but it gives you a pretty strong idea as to what’s been going on the whole time.
Blu-ray Review: Tommy Boy Holy Schnike Edition
I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bulls ass, but I‘d rather take the butchers word for it.
Blu-ray Review: Death Race
Congratulations on joining the Death Race, where Terminal convicts get a chance to race for their very lives! If you can win (and survive) 5 races then you win your freedom. Don’t worry, you won’t be driving a regular race-car. You get to drive totally tricked out cars complete with bullet-proof windows, machine guns, napalm, spikes, and more! Oh and if you decide to compete in the Death Race you get your very own extremely hot navigator from a Women’s Prison! She will help you make your way through the course and avoid the other racers. Good luck!
Now you too can join in the excitement that is Death Race because it is available on Blu-ray and DVD! This movie was brought to you from the team of Director Paul W.S. Anderson and Producer Jeremy Bolt that made the 90’s thriller Event Horizon.
Blu-ray Review: Supertroopers
Dear Fox,
I hope you are doing well. I am fine. I wanted to write to say thank you for releasing Supertroopers, one of my favorite comedies, on Blu-ray. It is really great. That was very nice of you. Tell everyone I said hi.
Love,
Matt
