DVD Review:  Hesher – Joseph Gordon-Levitt & Natalie Portman

DVD Review: Hesher – Joseph Gordon-Levitt & Natalie Portman

87532418426511101174 DVD Review:  Hesher   Joseph Gordon Levitt & Natalie Portman

Ever heard of Pollyanna?  Pollyanna was a story about a young girl who shows up in town and changes everyone’s lives with her refreshing outlook.  Well, Hesher is a Pollyanna story but with a twist.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt portrays “Hesher” who is a caricature of a brash, heavy metal guy.  His name sort of plays into this idea that he is not really a person but more of a force of nature who plows through the lives of this just barely teenage boy, his dad, and a girl the boy crushes on (Natalie Portman) and changes them forever.

Chocolate is a Thai movie directed by Prachya Pinkaew (who directed the groundbreaking Tony Jaa vehicle Ong-Bak Thai Warrior) about an autistic girl who can absorb martial arts abilities by watching them either  on TV or in person.   The girl named Zen (played by JeeJa Yanin) is the love child of two butt kickers who are forced to split by a jealous mob boss.  The mom takes Zen and disappears and eventually this young girl starts to exhibit innate hand-eye coordination abilities which go beyond what the average little girl can do.  Her only drawbacks are that she is …

Sega to Release Hatsune Miku AX Show on CD/DVD and Blu-Ray

Sega to Release Hatsune Miku AX Show on CD/DVD and Blu-Ray

In case you missed the Anime Expo 2011 in Los Angeles, fans of the virtual idol Hatsune Miku will still get to experience her live performance there when Sega releases the CD and DVD on December 21.  According to ANN, 5000 fans attended the concert and also got to see Miku’s buddies Kagamine Len & Rin and Megurine Luka.  I’m surprised Black Rock Shooter didn’t make an appearance.  I’m sure she would’ve been a huge hit.

DVD Review: Batman – The Brave And The Bold Season 2 Part 1

DVD Review: Batman – The Brave And The Bold Season 2 Part 1

batman11 DVD Review: Batman   The Brave And The Bold Season 2 Part 1

I always visualize Batman as a creature of the night and being a loner.  In the animated show, Batman: The Brave And The Bold, it’s the exact opposite.  He teams up with mostly B and C-list superheroes to defeat the bad guys.  The Caped Crusader also likes to run around during the daytime beating up enemies like Rha’s Al Ghul, Mongol and of course, the Joker.  It reminded me of the original 60’s Batman show with Adam West.  The stories are a bit too simple for my taste but I like the interactions with the characters.  While most of the stories …

Netflix Price Going Up – Redbox Anyone?

Netflix Price Going Up – Redbox Anyone?

I’ve been a Netflix fan but I just can’t support their latest price increase.  Starting today (September for current members), they have a new price structure.  Pretty much what it comes down to is that it’ll be a $3- $5 increase if you get both streaming and movies delivered to your home.  They’ll also be charged separately with unlimited streaming at $7.99 and also $7.99 for 1 movie at a time.  The total would be $15.98.  Before this it was only $9.99 for both services. 

Right now I have the 2 movies unlimited + blu-ray (extra $3 per month) and I …

The Adjustment Bureau DVD Debuts at #1

the adjustment bureau04 The Adjustment Bureau DVD Debuts at #1

This film is based on a short story about two star-crossed lovers who keep making their way back to each other despite reluctance on the part of the “Adjustment Bureau” to let them be together.  Playing off the same idea as we’ve seen in films like The Truman Show, Dark City and even the Matrix, the bureau is a group of guys in business attire who have these little notebooks which contain the maps for people’s lives and magic hats that help them transcend different planes of reality.  The maps inside their notebooks change according to the way things …

DVD Review:  Chuck Norris – Karate Kommandos

DVD Review: Chuck Norris – Karate Kommandos

chuck norris DVD Review:  Chuck Norris   Karate Kommandos

Chuck Norris had a cartoon show in 1986 that was short lived.  The series only lasted 5 episodes but it has been released on DVD.  The show had Chuck Norris team up with several martial arts characters as they fight an evil organization, led by Klaw.  It’s not really explained why Klaw is the bad guy, he just is.  They always try to get a super weapon and Chuck Norris and his crew try to stop them. 

To enjoy this show, you can’t take it seriously.  Watch it when you’re with friends so you guys can laugh at the bad guys …

DVD Review – Batman: The Brave And The Bold Season One Part Two

batmanbb DVD Review   Batman: The Brave And The Bold Season One Part Two

Batman: Brave and the Bold is the new cartoon from WB and the art design is totally opposite from Batman: The Animated Series which aired in the 90’s.  While the 90’s cartoon was dark and made Batman a loner, Brave and the Bold has a more colorful palette and the Caped Crusader teams up with a superhero/partner in every episode.  While not all of the episodes in ‘Bold’ are fun, the majority are entertaining.  Batman teams up with unorthodox characters like Jonah Hex and  Bat Mite and it makes for an unpredictable show.  I like how the creators focused more on …
