Blu-ray Review: Rocky: The Undisputed Collection
Now Available to OwnAmazonPhoto SlideshowBeing nicknamed "The Italian Stallion" was one thing but had Rocky creator Sylvester Stallone been so inclined, he could've taken a cue from Italian filmmakers Federico Fellini or Michelangelo Antonioni and simply opted for a vague or allegorical ending for all six of his movies. To the audience and regardless of the fact that the ultimate bouts of the films were always expertly choreographed and staged with authentic precision, essentially the movies ... Read Full Story
Blu-ray Review: Angels & Demons (2009)
Now Available to OwnPhoto SlideshowAs Robin said in the gleefully campy original '66 Batman, “some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.” However, what Boy Wonder failed to realize was that the best solution to the bomb problem was to simply let it explode... or attach it to yet another bomb. And sure enough, by adding a bomb to the plot of Angels & Demons, Ron Howard's contractually obligated sequel to the dead-on-arrival cinematic bomb that was The Da Vinci Code explodes into a plot l...

Music DVD & CD Review: Paul McCartney: Good Evening New York City
Photo SlideshowNow AvailableSince at first it was difficult to discern which one was in fact the DVD as it was inconspicuously included in the set of 3-discs that all resembled baseballs signed by Paul McCartney, I wasn't expecting all that much from the CD's concert disc. This being said, of course McCartney's name promises quality, innovation and showmanship, considering the length and evolution of his career with The Beatles, Wings, or alone.

Their mission is above all to follow-the-script, avoid musical doorbells in favor of a knock, forgo a standard greeting or introduction, and speak only to the NOK in delivering... Read Full Story
