Superman The Complete Animated Series

A couple years ago the Batman Beyond The Complete Series Bluray was released. Now it’s time to dawn the red cape as Superman The Complete Animated Series Bluray arrives! Coincidently it has been 25 years since the show came out.

All 54 episodes have been fully remastered.  Color correction, dirt and scratch clean up, and adding a grain reduction was all done to the original 35mm Interpositive sources for your improved viewing pleasure. The audio was retransferred from the original audio masters, and the series is presented in its original aspect ratio (4×3).

Also included are a many featurettes with a new one entitled Superman: Timeless Icon, a video commentary episode and three episodes with audio commentaries by the showrunners.

It’s awesome to be able to have Superman finally join the family of DC 90’s cartoon remasters. You can watch it where ever when ever with its Bluray and Digital Code.

The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard

Whether you realize it or not new movies are being released. The first The Hitman’s Bodyguard dropped way back in 2017. The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard finally came out in 2021. Honestly I had no idea they released the sequel. So while I missed it, as I haven’t been to move theaters in years, I can now catch it on Bluray!

Ryan Reynolds + Samuel L. Jackson + explosions makes for a great buddy duo action flick. Add in Salma Hayek, Antonio Banderas, and Morgan Freeman and now you’ve got a party.

The Bluray comes with a DVD and Digital Copy. Special features include Ryan, Sam, Salma: One F’d Up Family – Gone Soft: The New Michael Bryce – Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard: #stuntlife – On the set of Hitman’s Wire’s Bodyguard – Gag reel – and theatrical trailers. It’s a good amount of extras that will make you laugh some more!

Superman: Man Of Tomorrow

Superman: Man Of Tomorrow is an origin story because it starts at the beginning. Don’t we all love origin stories? They’re usually the easiest story to tell because who the hell knows how a fictitious story is going to end. That being said Superman: Man Of Tomorrow ignores the typical Superman origin story and goes straight into the action.

Instead of General Zod or Lex Luthor doing something zany, we’ve got Lobo, an alien Parasite, and Superman figuring out what to wear from his costume. It’s actually nice to see new things happening in an origin story. Many things feel modern such as Clark Kent and Lois Lane being interns at The Daily Planet because as we all know companies don’t just hire unexperienced employees. I wonder if The Daily Planet is paying its interns. If not how is Clark affording to pay his rent?

Thankfully the story doesn’t focus on my questions. Speaking of the artwork and visuals it’s a very pretty animated film. In many ways it seems like it was pulled straight out of the comics.

Fun facts this movie comes in 4K ultra HD, Bluray, and Digital Code. Surprisingly there’s lots of bonus content included such as docs about Lobo and Martian Manhunter, sneak peaks for new animated DC Universe movies, and two episodes of the 90’s Superman cartoon featuring Lobo.

This package is like the ultimate for fans of Lobo.

The Flash: The Complete Second Season – Blu-ray Review

“Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.”

What events from your past do you wish you could change? What would you do differently? How do you think that would affect your life in the present day? For Barry Allen/The Flash (Grant Gustin), this isn’t just wishful thinking; it’s a reality. A reality that has taken him from tragic backstory a happy world with both parents and a positive outlook on life.

Or is it?

After speeding back in time to prevent the murder of his mother by Reverse-Flash (Matt Letscher), Barry finds himself in an alternate timeline known as Flashpoint. Things and people in Flashpoint look the same, but this alternate reality soon begins to affect Barry in strange ways. While he’s happy to have his mom back, was it worth the toll the reversal is taking on him and his powers? And who’s this other guy protecting Central City?

As Barry struggles to maintain familiar-to-him-but-new-to-everyone-else relationships with his friends and colleagues, it soon becomes clear that what he’s done by creating Flashpoint has created implications and complications that he never foresaw. Will his return from Flashpoint reverse all that he’s done? Or has he forever altered the lives and events of everyone and everything in Central City?

The Flash is a fast-paced and fun series that does a great job in the third season expanding Flash’s universe and creating new complications for Barry and his friends. The Flashpoint storyline definitely adds a new layer of complexity to the narrative as Barry’s friends start to feel the effects of the alternate universe even after Barry’s return.

It’s a solid season with a solid cast that includes cameos by Green Arrow, Supergirl, and the Legends of Tomorrow in a huge four part cross-over multi-episode event (only part one is featured on The Flash. The other parts can be seen on Supergirl (Season 2), Arrow (Season 5), and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow (Season 2))! And, of course, don’t miss the musical episode, “Duet,” featuring Supergirl and Glee‘s Darren Criss as the Music Meister!

Ash vs Evil Dead: Season 2 – Blu-ray Review

What’s your hometown like? Is it a place filled with happy memories of your childhood? A place where your parents still live and you feel embraced? Is it a place filled with places you used to go with your friends on summer nights? Well, if you’re name is Ash and you fight Deadites for a living – despite your reluctance to do so – you don’t have any of these things. In fact, Ash’s hometown is about to become much more of a nightmare than it was when he left over 30 years before.

Welcome to Season 2 of Ash vs Evil Dead where we find our swaggering one-armed hero (Bruce Campbell) headed back to his hometown if Elk Grove, Michigan to do what he does best; whether he likes it or not. He’s on a mission to once again stop not only Deadites, which have popped up once again despite the truce he a Ruby (Lucy Lawless) made at the end of last season, but her evil children, and host of other demonic creatures as well. Luckliy, Ash has his partners in gore to help him fight the horrors that await them.

Get ready for one bloody, gory, disgusting, and hilarious good time as the one-liners and guts fly with reckless abandon over the course of the season. There’s a reunion of sorts (remember Henrietta Knowby from the first Evil Dead movie?), an evil puppet named Ashy, and a fight in a morgue that is as disturbing as anything I’ve seen on TV in a while (I highly recommend not eating while watching this show).

Watch as Ash, Pablo (Ray Santiago), and Kelly (Dana DeLarenzo) battle for the fate of the Necronomicon and the soul of Elk Grove. Will their efforts pay off? Or will they, too, end up in bloody pieces like so many of their Deadite kills?

There are LOTS of great bonus features to accompany your viewing of Season 2. These include:

Season 2 First Look

Supergirl: The Complete Second Season – Blu-ray Review

“Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.”

Superhero series and films have been a mainstay in our lives for decades. Whether it’s Marvel, DC, or another entity entirely, comic books and graphic novels have offered up a well-spring of material that creatives in Hollywood have adapted into both huge blockbusters and popular series. The vast majority of these properties have revolved around male superheroes; their female counterparts relegated to supporting roles as helpers or mere love interests.

In 2015, Supergirl premiered on TV and suddenly a strong female superhero was on the radar in their own series and saving the world just the guys. The original Wonder Woman (1976-1979) series starring Lynda Carter and 1984’s Supergirl were the last female-driven superhero TV shows prior to 2015’s Supergirl’s debut.

So what took so long?

The huge success of DC’s Wonder Woman at the box office (it’s the second highest-grossing movie domestically for 2017 with $405 million as of this writing), the popularity of the animated DC Superhero Girls franchise, and the increasing popularity of Supergirl show that there is a need for strong female superheroes in film and TV.

I hope this trend continues.

With season two of Supergirl, the adventures of Kara Danvers/Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist) become even more complicated and dangerous as she and her fellow metahumans encounter a whole new host of problems and villainous ne’er do wells that make her life in National City all the more difficult. Throw in her job at CatCo Worldwide media, her search for her father, a new love interest, and teaming up with her cousin (a guy named Superman) and there’s a lot for this Girl of Steel to grapple with.

This is a fun season of Supergirl. Along with all the action and solid effects, there are plenty of cameos from actors who are no strangers to the world of superheroes. Look for Lynda Carter (TV’s Wonder Woman), Teri Hatcher (Lois Lane in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman), Kevin Sorbo (Hercules), and Grant Gustin (The Flash), along with series regular Dean Cain (Clark Kent/Superman in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman).

There’s no limits to what Supergirl can do. She’s a strong and independent woman who is an excellent role model for women of all ages. And while she does face challenges that are much more daunting than what we mere mortals may face, her persistence and strength of character make her a shining example of integrity and courage for all who see her in action.

The Season Two Blu-ray includes the following special features:

Supergirl: Alien Fight Night
Dive into Survivors, where Supergirl and other downtrodden metahumans are forced to compete in Roulette’s Octagon.

Supergirl: 2016 Comic-Con Panel
Cast and executive producers talk up Season Two!

Supergirl: Did You Know?” Facts for Fans

Supergirl: Aliens Among Us
Examine the outsiders from beyond the stars and the visual effects that bring them to life.
