New on blu-ray is the entertaining documentary Skull World. The film focuses on a 30-something man named Greg Sommer, who is better known by his alterego of Skull Man. The film follows Sommer as he tries to develop the Canadian chapter of Box Wars, which is a form of LARPing, that originated in Australia, which…
I made the switch to Blu-Ray a couple months ago, however all the discs I purchased so far only had standard DVD features (except in high definition). However, with the Cop Out Blu-Ray, I finally get a special feature that is truly special with the Maximum Movie Comedy Mode. This mode has already been on previous Warner…
For an independent film, I thought that Moon has a very decent DVD release. The special features on the disc are small in number, but big in quality. There is are usually featurettes, which include a 16 minute “Making Of” documentary, along with a 11 minute feature on the visual effects. Those are OK for…
It’s obvious that distributors and retailers are trying to phase out standard-format DVDs. It’s already been established that the Blu-Ray release of films now tend to have more features and I’ve now started to notice that less standard 2-Disc DVDs are being stocked in the shelves (making the search for a decent release all the…
The first noticeable thing about the DVD for Drag Me to Hell is how both the theatrical and unrated versions both have the exact same running length (you would expect an “unrated” version of a film to be long, since it would involve the adding of new scenes). However, the only real noticeable change is…
This DVD review will be quite short, since Trick ‘r Treat follows the growing trend of the bulk of the special features being placed on the Blu-Ray release. As such, with this standard DVD release I get to miss out on all the traditional DVD features, such as a Behind the Scenes featurette, and Deleted…
In my last DVD review, I complained about the Blu-Ray release having exclusive features that you can’t get on the standard review. That is somewhat the case with Watchmen, though I can’t say that I was disappointed with this standard version. The main highlight is that the film is 24 minutes than the theatrical release…
The biggest message I am receiving from the standard DVD release of Friday the 13th is “Why didn’t you get the Blu-Ray?” First, a quick overview: This extended cut is nine minutes longer than the theatrical version. There is nothing much that is noticeably different and my best guest is that there is probably just…
These days when a disc labeled “2-Disc Special Edition” comes out, it can be hard to tell if it will be worth the extra money, since more often than not the extra disc only contains the film on Digital Copy. That is the case with Valkyrie, however the features that are included are pretty decent….
AKA The Case of the Mass DVD Screw-Up. This will be a very short DVD review, since there were no special features on the DVD, even though the box says so. I did a search and apparently this was because of a shipping error. It is possible to call Fox and get a replacement disc,…
