 The
Dark Knight- Blu-Ray (5 out of 5 stars)
Warner/ December 9, 2008
What It’s About: This one? It’s all about the
Joker, aka Heath Ledger. It’s all anyone talked about with
this movie and he is indeed brilliant in it. I also love Maggie
Gyllenhaal in here, she’s hot stuff and waaaaay better than
Katie Holmes.
Technical Stuff: Fan-freaking-tastic. Blu-ray looks
and sounds brilliant.
Synopsis: The follow-up to Batman Begins, The Dark
Knight reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale,
who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in his continuing war
on crime. With the help of Lt. Jim Gordon and District Attorney
Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham
for good. The triumvirate proves effective, but soon find themselves
prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker, who thrusts
Gotham into anarchy and forces Batman closer to crossing the fine
line between hero and vigilante. Heath Ledger stars as archvillain
The Joker, and Aaron Eckhart plays Dent. Maggie Gyllenhaal joins
the cast as Rachel Dawes. Returning from Batman Begins are Gary
Oldman as Gordon, Michael Caine as Alfred and Morgan Freeman as
Lucius Fox.

 Horton
Hears a Who! (4 out of 5 stars)
Fox/ December 9, 2008
What
It’s About:
An adorable retelling of the Dr. Seuss classic with a lovely message:
A person’s a person, no matter how small. Featuring the voices
of Jim Carrey and Steve Carell, this animated flick oozes charm.
The animation is gorg and the story is funny and endearing. There
is something for the adults and the kiddies here—the best
kind of animated flick.
Technical Stuff: I am so spoiled now that I have
Blu-Ray and regular dvds just don’t look that purty, especially
the Fox screeners. It looks decent and sounds decent and I’m
sure the final copy is even better but I say get the Blu-Ray.
Synopsis: One of Dr. Seuss' most beloved stories
roars to life as never before in this enormous animated adventure
that proves "a person's a person no matter how small."
A playful pachyderm named Horton becomes a reluctant hero when he
discovers the microscopic city of Who-ville on a floating speck
of dust and embarks on a hilarious adventure to save the town from
the dangers of the jungle. Featuring a who's who of superstar voice
talent, including Jim Carrey, Steve Carell and Carol Burnett, this
heartwarming hit comedy delivers loads of laughs and tons of fun
for the whole family!

 Lost:
Season Four- Blu-Ray (4 out of 5 stars)
Buena Vista/ December 9, 2008
What
It’s About:
Thank God it got back on track. This is one exhausting show to watch.
Now that we know it’s ending in 2010, there is a light at
the end of the tunnel so to speak. Sure, you still don’t really
learn anything new and there are too many flashbacks and flash forwards
to count, but at least it’s not like it was in Season Two,
which was BORING. Season Four was fascinating and I can’t
wait for Season 5. Please don’t buy this for someone who isn’t
a fan, the must start from Season One. No question.
Technical Stuff: Wow. This show looks amazing in
Blu-Ray. It also sounds killer. I’m seriously impressed.
Synopsis: Immerse yourself in the boldest show
on television with every mysterious twist and turn of Lost's addictive
Fourth Season. Exploding with excitement and never-before-seen extras,
Lost reaches new heights on Blu-ray. More than three months after
their fateful crash, the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 will discover
that the only thing more dangerous than the island might be the
people who have come to rescue them. Dive deep into this captivating
5-disc Blu-ray box set, complete with original flashbacks, mind-bending
flash-forwards and an astonishing world of exclusive bonus features.
Experience one of the most groundbreaking shows in television history
and "let Lost remind you of how spectacular scripted network
programming can be," says USA Today.
Includes all 13 episodes from The Complete Fourth Season of Lost!

 The
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian- Blu-Ray (2 out of 5 stars)
Disney/ December 2, 2008
What It’s About:
Holy moly, is this movie ever dark. What happened to having a funny
animal sidekick? In this sequel to The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe,
the kids are a little older but Narnia has seen hundreds of years
pass by. The animals aren’t cute and fluffy, they all want
to kill you!
It’s not very fun and doesn’t even seem very epic (just
very long). Although the technicals kept me entertained, the film
sadly, did not. I wonder if the third will be any better?
Technical Stuff: This is why I love Blu-Ray. It’s
all phenomenal. The colours are amazing and the detail is extraordinary.
Synopsis: The magical world of C.S. Lewis' beloved
fantasy comes to life once again in Prince Caspian, the second installment
of The Chronicles of Narnia series. Join Peter, Susan, Edmund, Lucy,
the mighty and majestic Aslan, friendly new Narnian creatures and
Prince Caspian as they lead the Narnians on a remarkable journey
to restore peace and glory to their enchanted land. Continuing the
adventure of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe with more magic
and a brand-new hero, Prince Caspian is a triumph of imagination,
courage, love, joy and humor your whole family will want to watch
again and again.
Extras? Blu-ray Disc Features: Anamorphic Widescreen

it’s just nowhere as good as the first movie was.

 The
Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2 (4 out of 5 stars)
Warner Bros/ November 18, 2008
What It’s About: The
first Sisterhood movie was great. And as with most sequels, the
second isn’t as good. But it’s still surprisingly enjoyable.
I think what causes it to suffer is that the girls aren’t
actually together. They’re split up and have few scenes together.
It was the chemistry of the cast that worked so well in the first
place.
The last bit of the film, when they’re reunited is fun. And
it’s really hard to watch Blake Lively and not see Serena
now. Just a thought. My fave is Alexis Bledel but America Ferrera
won me over big-time in this movie. Sure, it’s a bit of a
cheese-fest, but bring on part 3—I’ll watch it.
Technical Stuff: Beautiful picture and good sound.
The scenes in Santorini in particular make me drool.
Synopsis: Join the four best friends as they finish
their first year at college and dive into a summer of excitement.
Bridget (Blake Lively) journeys to Turkey on an archeological dig.
Carmen (America Ferrera) plugs into the hectic, creative world of
summer theater in Vermont. Lena (Alexis Bledel) discovers new love
and old heartbreak at the Rhode Island School of Design. And in
the Big Apple, Tibby (Amber Tamblyn) takes a big step in her relationship
with Brian.
Romance, laughs, tears and that pair of jeans that keeps the girls
together even when they're far apart -- all are here in a heart-lifting
second film based on Ann Brashares' bestsellers. It's a perfect
fit!
Extras? Go Jump Off a Cliff: How
the Exhilarating Final Sequence - Not Originally in the script -was
inspired by fan reaction to the first movie; ; Additional scenes;
Gag reel: On-set bloopers and Jokes
Final Verdict: Not as fun as the original but still
very enjoyable.

 Beverly
Hills 90210: The Sixth Season (4 out of 5 stars)
Paramount/ November 25, 2008
What It’s About: 90210
started to g downhill after Season Five, not that that would have
stopped me or other die-hard fans from tuning in every week. The
sixth season is best-known for being the one where Kelly gets hooked
on drugs (oh no!)
The other major storylines here are Donna (who is looking like she
was ridden hard and put away wet) gets abused by Ray and Dylan has
a fake marriage. Oh, and a porno is filmed at Brandon’s house
(tee-hee). It’s still a satisfying season to watch although
the changed music still bugs me. And why no extras? They’re
going to make me buy all the season on Blu-Ray in a couple of years,
aren’t they?
Technical Stuff: Not bad, not fab. It’s full
screen with English Stereo sound but what did you want from 1995?
Synopsis: The friends of Beverly Hills, 90210 are
just getting warmed up! Join Brandon (Jason Priestley), Dylan (Luke
Perry), Kelly (Jennie Garth), Donna (Tori Spelling), David (Brian
Austin Green), Steve (Ian Ziering), Val (Tiffani-Amber Thiessen),
and Clare (Kathleen Robertson) as they discover new love, battle
addictions, and test the waters outside the college campus in all
31 sizzling episode of 1995-6's Season 6. Witness Kelly's terrifying
descent into drugs; Dylan's unlikely marriage proposal; and a porno
that is filmed at Brandon's house! As their lives twist, turn, and
bend in different directions, it's the bonds of friendship that
will never break.
Extras? none
Final Verdict: Still a fun season, even if just
to make fun of…

 Tropic
Thunder: Director’s Cut (4 out of 5 stars)
Paramount/ November 18, 2008
What
It’s About:
From the moment I first saw the trailers for this movie I was excited.
I love Robert Downey JR. and Ben Stiller makes me giggle. They don’t
disappoint in this comedy about a big-budget war movie gone wrong.
But I have to admit the person I loved most in the film who I hate
in everything else ever, was Tom Cruise. Seriously.
It’s probably
because he’s almost unrecognizable. But he is freaking hilarious.
The entire movie is a blast. You all know the premise by now and
of course RDJ is great as the white actor playing a black man, and
Stiller does what he does best. Weak link? I’d go with Jack
Black who just isn’t the same calibre as his castmates but
still worth a snort or two. This is one I’m putting aside
for when I go into labour and need those endorphins. And that high
praise indeed.
Technical Stuff: Both sound and picture are solid
although some of the night scenes had minor noise. Dialogue and
loud effects are both crystal.
Synopsis: Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey
Jr. lead an ensemble cast in Tropic Thunder, an action comedy about
a group of self-absorbed actors who set out to make the most expensive
war film. After ballooning costs force the studio to cancel the
movie, the frustrated director refuses to stop shooting, leading
his cast into the jungles of Southeast Asia, where they enoucter
real bad guys.
Extras? Closed Caption; ; Disc 1 - Filmmaker and
Cast Commentaries; ; Disc 2 - Before the Thunder; The Hot LZ; Blowing
S#%t Up; Designing the Thunder; The Cast of Tropic Thunder; Rain
of Madness; Dispatches from the Edge of Madness; Deleted and Extended
Scenes; Alternate Ending; MTV Movie Awards - Tropic Thunder; Full
Mags; Video Rehearsals
Final Verdict: Really funny and quite smart. Rare
combo in a comedy.

 Band
of Brothers: Blu-Ray (5 out of 5 stars)
Warner Bros/ November 11, 2008
What
It’s About:
Every year, November 11th hits and I feel like I can’t do
enough to say thank you to our veterans and those currently keeping
peace. Then I watch something like this series and feel even more
inadequate. As you watch Band of Brothers, please keep in mind that
people actually went thought this, lived through this. It’s
just incredible. As is this box set.
This is simply an amazing series. HBO has bragged that this was
their best selling TV series on DVD and I have a feeling it’s
about to get even better with this stunning set. It’s packed
and even those of you that bought the original—if you have
Blu-Ray, I say it’s worth the upgrade.
Technical Stuff: The picture is simply astounding.
The clarity is what Blu-Ray is all about. The detail will blow your
mind. The sound is DTS HD and also is incredible. You feel like
you’re in the middle of the action which is pretty frightening
and powerful.
Synopsis: Based on the bestseller by Stephen E.
Ambrose, Band of Brothers tells the story of Easy Company, 506th
Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Drawn from interviews
with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and
letters, Band of Brothers chronicles the experiences of these men
who knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear. They were
an elite rifle company parachuting into France early on D-Day morning,
fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and capturing Hitler's Eagle's
Nest at Berchtesgaden. They were also a unit that suffered 150 percent
causalities, and whose lives became legend.
Extras? Closed Caption; Dynamic, optional picture-in-picture
commentary by the Easy Company veterans titled In the Words of Easy
Company; Interactive field guide, featuring timelines, maps, soldier
profiles and much more titled In the Field With the Men of Easy
Company 80-minute documentary "We Stand Alone Together: The
Men of Easy Company"; 30-minute "Making of Band of Brothers"
featurette; The Premiere in Normandy
Final Verdict: I know a few people who would love
to get this for Christmas. The package is amazing and the show is
even better.

 The
L-Word: Five Season Set (5 out of 5 stars)
Showtime/ October 28, 2008
What It’s About: It’s Holiday Gift Guide time!
So here is an awesome idea for someone you really really like (‘cause
it ain’t cheap baby). All five seasons of the super fun lesbian
drama The L-Word. I have no idea where this airs here in Canada
and had never seen an episode but got pretty hooked on this set.
You get all five seasons with all the extras that came along with
them. It retails for about $150 but it’s hours of entertainment.
And this show is much more fun than I ever thought.
I always envisioned it as some sort of super serious drama that
I wouldn’t be able to relate to but found myself enthralled
with the characters and stories. Oh screw it, buy it for yourself!
Technical Stuff: Progressively the picture looks
better and it’s stellar on the fifth season. Most is filmed
in high-def. The sound is a solid 5.1.
Synopsis: "Set in the chic world of Los Angeles,
this humor-laced dramatic series explores the lives of a group of
lesbians, their friends, family and neighbors. The series takes
a smart, sexy and fun look at the hopes, dreams and lives of these
people as they deal with things like career struggles, relationship
issues and the pressures of trying to start a family. The show provides
a fresh look at everyday life, told with passion, frankness and
humor.
This 20 disc collection includes all 62 episodes from the first
five seasons of The L Word!"

 The
Godfather: The Coppola Restoration Blu-Ray (5 out of 5 stars)
Paramount/ September 23, 2008
What It’s About: There really isn’t much I can
say about The Godfather Collection that hasn’t been already
said. It came out on Blu-Ray in September but I’m putting it
in now because it is the ultimate Christmas gift. Seriously. Someone
you know will be getting a Blu-Ray player this year and this is the
best set for a film buff.
It looks amazing and the extras are sick. Seriously, this thing is
packed, yo.
Technical Stuff: The picture is amazing. Blacks are
richer, the grain is as intended, the brownish yellow tones look as
if they came straight from memory. The films come in anamorphic widescreen
(1.78:1) and in their original mono tracks, and a True HD 5.1 surround,
excepting the more modern Part III, which just comes in True HD.
Synopsis: With legendary director Francis Ford Coppola
at the helm and spectacular performers filling every role, THE GODFATHER
series churned out three of the best-loved and most critically-acclaimed
films of all time. THE GODFATHER: THE COPPOLA RESTORATION includes
each of these three masterpieces.
THE GODFATHER: Francis Ford Coppola's epic masterpiece features Marlon
Brando in his Oscar-winning role as the patriarch of the Corleone
family. Director Coppola paints a chilling portrait of the Sicilian
clan's rise and near fall from power in America, masterfully balancing
the story between the Corleone's family life and the ugly crime business
in which they are engaged. Based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel
and featuring career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Caan
and Robert Duvall, this searing and brilliant film garnered ten Academy
Award nominations, and won three including Best Picture of 1972.
THE GODFATHER - PART II: This brilliant companion piece to the original
THE GODFATHER continues the saga of two generations of successive
power within the Corleone family. Director Francis Ford Coppola tells
two stories in PART II: the roots and rise of a young Don Vito, played
with uncanny ability by Robert De Niro, and the ascension of Michael
(Al Pacino) as the new Don. Reassembling many of the talents who helped
make THE GODFATHER, Coppola has produced a movie of staggering magnitude
and vision, and undeniably the best sequel ever made. Robert De Niro
won an Oscar; the film received six Academy Awards, including Best
Picture of 1974.
THE GODFATHER - PART III: One of the greatest sagas in movie history
continues. In this third film in the epic Corleone trilogy, Al Pacino
reprises the role of powerful family leader Michael Corleone. Now
in his 60's, Michael is dominated by two passions: freeing his family
from crime and finding a suitable successor. That successor could
be fiery Vincent (Andy Garcia)...but he may also be the spark that
turns Michael's hope of business legitimacy into an inferno of mob
violence. Francis Ford Coppola directs Pacino, Garcia, Diane Keaton,
Talia Shire, Eli Wallach, Sofia Coppola, Joe Mantegna and others in
this exciting, long-awaited film that masterfully explores the themes
of power, tradition, revenge and love. Seven Academy Award nominations
for 1990 were the result, including Best Picture.

 How
I Met Your Mother: Season Three (4 out of 5 stars)
Sony/ October 7, 2008
What It’s About: Of course the big news with this set
are the episodes with Britney Spears. This was brilliant casting on
both parts and she really did a great job. But what’s most important
is that her appearance probably turned a bunch of people onto the
show who didn’t watch itr before. I used to catch the occasional
episode but this season was pretty hilarious. And it’s not because
of Britney but because of Neil Patrick Harris who is brilliant as
Barney.
This season has some really fun episodes including Barney getting
The Yips and Marshall and Lily buying a crooked apartment. It’s
a really funny show that stands up well to repeated viewing.
Technical Stuff: The picture comes in 1.78:1 ratio
anamorphic widescreen color. The picture quality is average. It has
a relatively clean picture with minor color distortions and noticeable
compression artifacts. The sound comes through in English 5.1 Dolby
digital surround sound. The track is dialogue driven and audible throughout
the presentation. There are also subtitles in English, French, and
Spanish.
Synopsis: Friends minus one. The series is narrated
through flashbacks from the future about the five friends and their
dating misadventures.
This three disc collection includes all 20 episodes from Season Three
of How I Met Your Mother!

 Sleeping
Beauty: Platinum Edition (5 out of 5 stars)
Disney/ October 7, 2008
What It’s About: This was my favourite Disney movie
growing up. I’m not sure what this says about me as it’s
probably the darkest of the princess movies, but I could just watch
it over and over. Everyone knows the story—Princess Aurora is
cursed by the evil Maleficent on her baptism day. One of the good
fairies changes the curse to sleeping instead of dying and a prince
will have to find her and kiss her.
It’s sort of an adult film I think, more than the previous work.
Sure, kids would love it but adults would be able to relate and get
into the story—something that’s continued with other quality
Disney movies.
Technical Stuff: This is the stuff you want to know
about since you probably already own it. This Sleeping Beauty is brighter
and WIDER. That’s right people—we’re getting some
side views we’ve never had before. And it really does add to
the magic. The colour is rich and bold, and you can really see a difference
from the last release.
The sound is a fantastic 5.1 that is way better than the last version
and much clearer and crisper. Of course, there is an original track
for you purists out there (suckers).
Synopsis: Awaken your senses to the majesty of Sleeping
Beauty, Walt Disney's ultimate fairy tale. See more than you've ever
seen before through the magic of state-of-the-art technology and experience
this groundbreaking film restored beyond its original brilliance,
in the way Walt envisioned it -- pristine, beautiful, utterly breathtaking.
From the grand celebration of Princess Aurora's birth to the fateful
day when she pricks her finger on a spinning wheel and falls under
Malificent's evil curse to Prince Philip's courageous battle against
a fire-breathing dragon, the stunning artistry and spine-tingling
sounds will transform your home into a fantastic world. The adventures
continue as you are immersed into a wonderful world of bonus features.
Extras? Sound: 5.1 Disney Enhanced Home Theater Mix
Subtitled: English SDH, Spanish, French
Never-Before-Seen Alternate Opening; All-New Game: "Briar Rose's
Waltz"; All-New Music Video; All-New Making Of Sleeping Beauty
Featurette; Deleted Songs
Final Verdict: Worth the upgrade? Yup.
