DC has released another animated movie and this time, it’s from Jeph Loeb’s, “The Supergirl From Krypton” from the Superman/Batman comic.  The art in the comic was done by the late Michael Turner and it’s a compelling story  I’m probably biased with the story because I attended a Michael Turner seminar at Wizard World as the comic books were being released and he was so enthusiastic about it.  As I was reading the comics, I can tell Turner really had fun with the project.  His artwork was dynamic and amazing, he even went with a darker costume for Batman.   The movie …

Remember in the 90s when FOX aired a show claiming what could be a real Alien autopsy? I do, I remember clearly the buzz behind the footage. They even interviewed “experts” in the medical field, as well as Hollywood’s top special-effects guru such as Stan Winston.

This DVD isn’t necessarily about the actual autopsy, but about how it came into fruition, what lead to the footage and why. Two friends partnered up to market what they’ve claimed to be a real alien autopsy. They end up meeting weird characters along the way, which kept me from turning off my DVD player.…

We’re in the final weekend of September and there’s two major movies coming out, “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” and “Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole.”  Another movie coming out is Ryan Reynold’s low budget, Buried.  There’s also a documentary about our flawed education system called “Waiting For Superman.”  Let’s see if the movies are any good.

“Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” is a sequel to the original “Wall Street” released in 1987.  The sequel still has the main actor and director, Michael Douglas and Oliver Stone.  Added to the …

You might already be familiar with the Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight series currently showing in the US.  Kamen Rider V3 was a live-action, superhero TV show that first came out in the early 70’s, around the same time as Kikaider. (See my Kikaida article for more info).  A guy named Toru Hirayama got together with Ishinomoto, the creator of Kikaider, and put together a TV show based on a guy who wore a mask and costume that somewhat resembled a grasshopper. It was called Kamen Rider (which means “masked rider”). 

The two shows follow a similar formula:  a cyborg …

This alternate opening for Iron Man 2 popped up on youtube.  It shows Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) having a hangover before making a public appearance.  It also shows Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) kissing the mask.  This was shown in the trailer but not in the theatrical cut.  I’m not a big fan of Iron Man 2 so this alternate opening doesn’t do anything for me.  Wait, maybe they should’ve opened with this, then maybe Tony Stark wouldn’t have looked like a total asshole.  It would’ve established that he’s a drunk from the get go.

Ben Affleck’s new movie The Town is a tense, often terrific crime drama taking place on the mean streets of Boston in a tight-knit blue-collar community. Affleck plays the leader (more or less) of an elite team of bank and armed truck robbers whose latest robbery goes awry when a psychotic cohort kidnaps a bank worker, changing the course of all their lives forever. Affleck is on familiar turf here, but he seems to know the turf so well. The macho dialogue has the air of authenticity along with those thick Bohstonnn accents from Affleck and his fine supporting cast. Jeremy …

Okay folks, Supernatural Season 5 is out, and does not disappoint. This is probably the best season to date, pretty much every episode is enjoyable from top to bottom. Okay, there are a few lacklusters, but it’s 22 episodes so it’s only understandable.

Season 5 deals with one major issue, the Apocalypse. Lucifer is loose, and is bent on destroying earth as we know it. Also, the angels are involved, but they are angry as they have been abandoned by their Father, and is set on fighting Lucifer and his crew, even if it means destroying anything that gets in their …

I didn’t think the PS3 was this powerful but Sony’s latest firmware upgrade, 3.5, enables support for 3D for its games and movies.  I’m surprised Sony released this firmware this soon because not many titles are in 3d.  Maybe they get a comission for every PS3 game/Blu Ray 3D title that’s sold.  There’s a drawback to using the 3D feature though, no lossless sound.  Lossless sound will automatically downgrade to either Dolby Digital or DTS.  Now maybe I’ll get the 3-D version of Avatar whenever that’s coming out.

These are some of the Blu-Ray’s available in 3D:
