Not your father’s BondBlu-ray Review: Doctor Who Series 5
“Geronimo!!”
The longest ongoing Sci-Fi series returns yet again as the newly regenerated good Doctor prepares to make more house calls across all of time and space with the brand new season of Doctor Who!
Fresh off Russel T. Davies’s 5 year run rebooting the classic series into modern times and bringing with it a host of amazing quality and timeless stories, Doctor Who is back at the front of the Sci-Fi pack bringing in thousands of new fans making The Doctor a household name once again. Now RTD has passed on the torch to the fan favorite Steven Moffat, who has given us some of the best episodes of the recent reboot such as “Blink”, “The Girl in The Fireplace”, and “Silence in the Library”, to head up the next chapter in the Doctor’s life. With Moffat comes a brand new Doctor, played by newcomer Matt Smith, to take up the Timelord mantle. The question is, how do they fare?
DVD Review: Legends of the Superheroes
Biff!
Holy Pop Icons, Batman!
In 1966 Adam West and Burt Ward began their 120 episodes of Batman on television. Cancelled after only three seasons, Batman became an icon whose camp pop culture has still not lost its lustre even now over forty years later. From the Batusi to “Holy [something], Batman!” the show’s tropes will live forever.
Getting the show on disc has proved problematic, as legal troubles have thus far prevented a DVD release. We can get the Batman Movie from 1966 on DVD, but that’s all the 60s Batman we could get. …Until Now.
Blu-ray Review: Scott Pilgrim VS the World
Scott Pilgrim VS the World is spectacular. The action scenes are great. The rest is clever, hip, and hysterically funny. They are amazingly faithful to the comics. Overall, it is just plain fun.

DVD Review: Lost Boys: The Thirst
“The Black Dalai Lama? Never heard of him. We’re keeping the cover.”
Lost Boys: The Thirst looks better than any straight to DVD movie I have ever seen. The few special effects worked, looked like a theatrically released movie and didn’t add to any cheesiness. The lighting, quality and all other visual components far exceeded my expectations. If you randomly walked in on any scene you wouldn’t get the “oh, I must have passed out watching the Twilight Zone and woke up during a Bruce Campbell-less SyFy original movie” feeling.
