The Incredible Hulk has been tearing a line across the Canadian wilderness, leaving a swath of destruction in his wake. He has to be stopped, and there’s only one man up to the job. He’s the best at what he does, but what he does isn’t very nice. He’s Wolverine, an elite agent of Canada’s top secret Department H, and he’s been put on Hulk’s trail with a single objective: stop the green goliath…at all costs. Hulk and Wolverine are about to enter the fiercest battle of their lives.

It’s gods versus monsters in this epic forty-five minute movie. For ages, Loki the trickster has sought a way to bring defeat to his accursed stepbrother, Thor. But for all the battles Thor has fought, in all the nine realms, only one creature has ever been able to match his strength—a mortal beast of Midgard known as The Incredible Hulk. Now, with Odin the king of the gods deep in a regenerative sleep, and the forces protecting Asgard at their weakest, Loki is finally ready to spring his trap. In a classic battle that will test a hero’s limits more than ever before, only the mighty Thor can hope to prevail.

The Truth

You’ve probably heard of the movie Caligula if you are over the age of 30, but if you are like me you really never watched it. You may have seen some of the famous sex scenes, heard of them… but until you’ve really watched this movie you’ll never really get the full grasp of how good this film really is.

Deemed as a “porn” in the late 70’s, the truth is… Caligula is so timid compared to the typical movie these days, its almost comical. I remember looking at the movie cover in the old Beta Video rental store years ago, and everyone said it was a porno, so I couldn’t watch it. My how times have changed, Caligula is really mild.. our standards have really dropped in the last 20 years about what is acceptable and what isn’t.

You can kill hundreds in your movie, thats ok… rape..torture..murder..thats fine.. but have a couple filmed orgys and you get a bad name that lasts till this day.

Caligula is a very entertaining and moving story of Gaius Germanicus Caligula, and the struggles of maintaining an empire. Its incredibly well done, a must see film. Malcolm McDowell is awesome as Caligula, Peter O’Toole is wonderful as Tiberius.. two legendary performances you shouldn’t miss.

The Action

Caligula isn’t an action film, its more of a Drama. If you want Action, rent Gladiator, if you want a more detailed portrait of the life and times of ancient Rome, watch Caligula.

What’s good about it?

Sex, and lots of it. Although the film isn’t entirely about sex, I found it amazing how they could tie it all so seemlessly together in the film. BluRay! My copy of Caligula was HD, so it was an incredible experience to see this film in all its High Definition glory!

What’s bad about it?

Nothing!

The Ble-Ray release

The two disc set includes the uncensored theatrical cut of the film and hours of bonus material. The decadent side of high definition! Before Rome… Before Gladiator… The most controversial film of all time as you’ve never experienced it before!

Please note that this DVD contains explicit adult content!

SPECIAL FEATURES:

* Three revealing audio commentaries with stars Malcolm McDowell, Helen Mirren and on-set writer Ernest Volkman
* Video interviews with director Tinto Brass and actors John Steiner and Lori Wagner
* Hours of deleted and alternate scenes and behind-the-scenes footage
* Hundreds of astonishing, never-before-seen photographs from the set
* Theatrical trailers
* DVD-Rom extras including Gore Vidal’s original screenplay, three Penthouse magazine features, an interview with Bob Guccione, press kit notes, cast and crew bios and filmographies and more!

The Verdict

The DVD comes with hours of bonus features and content, the film is a wonderful production and loaded with tons of sexy moments. How can you now love Caligula, its a legendary film worth of all its mention, even after all these years.

Get this DVD into your collection now!

The Truth

Spin City is a hilarious sitcom, season one is fantastic from start to finish. The critically acclaimed and award-winning television series Spin City draws back the curtain of this dysfunctional City Hall in the biggest city in America and provides a smart and comic take on how much it takes to keep the well-meaning but bumbling Mayor looking good.

Season One of Spin City boasts a pedigreed ensemble cast including Michael J. Fox, Carla Gugino (Chicago Hope, Karen Sisco), Barry Bostwick (Law & Order: SVU), Richard Kind (Mad About You, Scrubs), Alan Ruck (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off), Michael Boatman (Law & Order), Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights), and Alexander Chaplin (Scrubs), alongside notable guest stars Stephen Colbert, Jennifer Garner, Woody Harrelson, Marlee Matlin, Gretchen Mol, Amanda Peet, Luke Perry, George Stephanopoulos, Courtney Thorne-Smith, George Wendt, among others.

Spin City is a smart, sophisticated sitcom about the behind-the-scenes workings of a fictional NYC based City Hall. Workaholic Mike Flaherty (Michael J. Fox) is the Deputy Mayor of New York City, serving as Mayor Randall Winston’s (Barry Bostwick) key strategist and much-needed handler. Mike runs the city with the help of his oddball staff: an anxious and insecure press secretary (Richard Kind); a sexist, boorish chief of staff (Alan Ruck); an impeccably groomed gay activist running minority affairs (Michael Boatman); a sharp and efficient, man-crazy accountant (Connie Britton); and an idealistic young speechwriter (Alexander Chaplin). Like Mike, they are all professionally capable but personally challenged.

You’ll Like It If

If you love Michael J Fox, classic sitcom’s and political humour.. you’ll love the first season box set.

The Box Set

Marking 12 years after Spin City’s initial premiere on network television, Shout! Factory will release Spin City: The Complete First Season DVD box set on November 4, 2008. Season One of the series is available for the first time ever in this 4-DVD box set containing all 24 acclaimed episodes, all-new interviews with Michael J. Fox, the series creators and the ensemble cast, 7 episode commentaries and Highlights of The Paley Center for Media Seminar featuring Gary David Goldberg and Michael J. Fox in 1996.

The Verdict

A must have for any fans of the series!

The Verdict

Live at Sturgis is a really good concert/DVD and production. I really enjoyed the behind the scenes, especially the wild crowd at Sturgis. Also included in my DVD was a 12-page booklet featuring liner notes and photography from the show.

If you enjoy Nickelback as I do, you’ll love Live At Sturgis!

The Scoop

Son of the Beach is a parody of “Baywatch” featuring Malibu Adjacent’s world-famous lifeguard, Notch Johnson. Its a series chalked full of one-liners, and sexy undertones as bikini clad women strut their stuff for the camera.

The Verdict

B.J. Cummings , Notch Johnson! Love the character names and the writing.
The season 1 DVD collection is hilarious and witty, perhaps ahead of its time. Son Of The Beach never took itself seriousl and knew exactly what it was doing when they made this series.

Sexy ladies and really funny one-liners made this a treat to watch over and over again.

If you loved Baywatch and you love comedy.. check out the Son of the Beach season one collection in stores now!

The Truth

Its not that The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior is a terrible movie, its just more of the same thing, only done with less effort. Randy Couture is a terrible actor, but mostly because of how the director encouraged Randy to perform. Perhaps if Couture would have ditched his silly “scary voice” and just spoke with his normal voice, it would have been a little easier to take. Instead we are left cringing every time Couture opens his mouth and forces out this voice that one can only describe as constipation.

Karen David and Michael Copon are actually fairly decent as co-stars and perform pretty well in the action scenes presented to them. Karen’s character Layla is rather sexy in her role as lead vivacios and dangerous female warrior.

The Action

Lots of action to be found in Scorpion King 2, whether you find it enjoyable ,or not, is another topic for discussion. The action is there, its plentiful .. but I found it took away from the story a little too much at times.

The Effects

Rather decent for the budget they worked with. The Minotaur looked pretty good, the environment was great.. the Scorpion was pathetic. Sometimes the CGI gets away from the film a little bit, but the Scorpion that Couture evolves into looks like it was created in the 80’s. The final battle scene looked like one from Jason and the Argonauts.

The Verdict

What sort of review do I give The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior? Obviously a film that goes straight to DVD has a predisposed opinion heading into the film, but lets get past that. Lets get past Couture’s acting performance, and the hilarious scene where he performs an armbar and a little jiujitsu on a fellow oppononet. Let me put aside some really bad effects and dialogue and try and give this movie a fair shake on the rating scale.

The Scorpion King 2 isn’t the worst movie you’ll rent this year, its actually not too terrible bad at all. Just take it for what it is, do not compare it to the Scorpion King.. and you may just enjoy the film. Its a rentable alternative to sitting at home watching reruns of Stargate for one night.

The Truth

3-2-1 Penguins! Save The Planets! is a fun filled adventure, suitable for kids of all ages. The animation is rather clever and clean, and there isn’t any mature undertones which is a treat in this day and age.

Zidgel, Midgel, Fidgel and Kevin travel across the galaxy to solve mysteries and learn important life lessons on the way. The DVD is packed with episodes and special features for the entire family.

The Verdict

3-2-1 Penguins! Save The Planets! is an enjoyable experience for the entire family with lots of valuable lessons to be learned along the way. The review panel consisted of two 3 year olds and a 5 year old, who all gave the film a very high rating!
