My favorite movie of the year comes out on December 4th on blu-ray/dvd/download and WB just released a pretty cool highlight reel.

The movie wasn’t perfect.  There was plenty of WTF moments but I can’t deny the epic scope of this movie.…

Coming to DVD on October 16th 2012 is Big Bad Beetleborgs. A Saban series from the 90’s from SHOUT! Factory that takes older Japanese footage and mixes it with original footage from the 90’s series.

VERY cheesy and aimed at children with physical slap-stick comedy (which can be funny) and the stiff action that resembles Power Rangers and VR Troopers. Beetleborgs is filmed in such a way that it appears to be a living comic book by having impact effects pop onto the screen during battle as they did in the Batman series of the 1960’s (biff, bam pow)!…

The latest of the DC Animated films has arrived! And it is an adaptation of one the comic book industries biggest game changers (along with Watchmen), The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. This is a legendary story that pretty much setup modern day comic books thanks to its dark themes and mature story line. Now Ive never been a big fan of the graphic novel, I do enjoy reading it from time to time.  It just always seemed like something that would work better as a movie , rather than a comic book.Well DC gave me the animated version of

Coming to DVD on October 2nd 2012 is Saban’s VR Troopers. This SHOUT! Factory DVD features 26 episodes on three DVDs.

The following is a synopsis:

A very popular show when it aired in the mid 90’s VR Troopers rode on the popularity of Power Rangers until it was ultimately cancelled in favor of Big Bad Beetleborgs. Thanks to syndication, this mishmash of …

A sad day for us guys (AKA me) that wanted too see an even longer version of TDKR, Nolan has confirmed that there will NOT be such a version of the film either this December or right before Man of Steel.

While this is isn’t a shock for some, it leaves in question as to what is going to happen with the Bane origin that was reportedly cut out of the film, will it be a deleted scene? Doubtful too since Nolan isn’t big on deleted scenes either, so we may never see Bane’s true origin….…

Coming soon to DVD is Volume One of Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. Featuring 13 episodes of the live action series on two disks and brought to you by SHOUT Factory.

Ninja Turtles is a very weird show; made by Saban who brought us Power Rangers. I’d go on to say that it’s cheesy and such, but I think that is obvious just by the DVD box art.

Ninja Turtles is filmed in Canada and features a vast selection of Canadian voice actors who are in the cast of many cartoons and the voices are very recognizable. The characters–in …

From Cartoon Network is The Amazing World of Gumball, a mixed media cartoon starring a blue cat and goldfish with legs. I was very put off by this cartoon because of the advertisements and the fact that it is created with mixed media. However, it seems that watching the commercial free DVD has found me a new show to enjoy!

The Amazing World of Gumball is very funny and features some good messages for the kids, it is comedy based so it is full of slapstick—falling on their faces and other bruising impacts for these poor characters.

The main character …
