I loved WALL-E! It was visual feast for the eyes. A cinematic masterpiece. A prime example of creative ingenuity and technological genius. Why is it so good? There are many reasons, and I will share them after the jump. Continue reading “WALL-E: One of the Most Awesomest Animated Movie Ever!”
All right lets cut the obvious, if you haven’t seen Tropic Thunder yet you missed out on one of the greatest summer comedies since Superbad. HOWEVER unlike Superbad this DVD does give you a chance to redeem your self.
If you buy purchasing the Director’s Cut DVD you will get about 30 minutes more footage than the theatrical “R” rated version. You also get access to an entire separate disk of bonus material with sweet featurettes like how they blew stuff up, extended and deleted scenes; and of course an alternate ending.
You also can see the entire “Rain Of Madness” series, that is the fake documentary about Tropic Thunder. Most of the episodes never made it on to iTunes, but it’s definitely worth a look if you enjoyed the movie or you simply have some time to spend laughing.
To keep it simple, this DVD is a great delight to a hysterical summer blockbuster. If you saw the movie over the summer, and laughed; pick up the DVD and get ready to hold your guts in, before you explode of laughter. If you never went out to see what the Thunder was all about, you owe it to yourself to quickly buy the DVD and experience this great satire!

Blue Dragon began as a video game for the Xbox 360 that was supposed to usher in Japanese gamers to the console. The franchise has now expanded to a TV show with characters designed by Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon-Ball Z.
The story follows a group of six friends as they attempt to stop an evil entity using their new ally, a legendary shadow monster- the Blue Dragon.
This disc is volume one in the series, and contains the first five episodes. Thankfully it has an MSRP price of $14.99 because there isn’t anything else on these discs.
If you’re a fan of the video game or of anime, I would definitely give Blue Dragon a look-see. However if you’re not, don’t bother.
All that he is, is awesome. The Popeye cartoons have always made for great fun since their days in the dawn of animation. Most stories are heroic narratives- personally, I know many a screenwriting professors who have been known to show their students a Popeye cartoon as an example of an excellent narrative.
This is a nostalgia DVD collection, and great fun for those of us who grew up with Popeye. It features 32 memorable cartoons.
And if you want to introduce the children in your life to ol’ Popeye, I think this DVD would do the trick, hands down. Despite the fact that these early features are in black and white, they are packed with so much action and adventure that kids will see past it.
So get ready to set sail with the world’s most famous sailor who isn’t a duck, and check out Popeye today.
I give this dvd set five out of five Cans of Vegetables.
