Africa’s Elephant Kingdom
Africa’s Elephant Kingdom is a glorious example of the wonders of IMAX filmmaking and the Blu-ray format. The stunning picture is larger than life and when projected on the bid screen makes the viewer see the world in a way that they normally wouldn’t. Many of the subjects of these types of movies tend to be natural, that is of the living world, and this is no different. This time the subject is the majestic ...
Things We Lost In The Fire (Blu-ray)
I wasn’t initially interested in Things We Lost in the Fire seeing on the surface another simple drama. Fearing boredom, I passed on it in theaters. Upon watching the DVD a year ago, I realized that indeed my initial fears of the film were well founded - Things We Lost in the Fire is indeed another simple drama meant to tug at the heartstrings. What I wasn’t expecting was that I did not get bored ...

Winning three Academy Awards, including Best Director and Adapted Screenplay usually gives a film a higher profile and these days an inevitable double-dip in home video releases. Previously "quick" released on DVD to capitalize on the Oscar buzz, the film received a "proper" but incomplete release on HD-DVD. Now we get Brokeback Mountain on Blu-ray, and disappointingly it is simply a port of the HD-DVD disc, which admittedly had a lot more special features than ...

Role Models
Role Models is another in a line of what I am seeing as a growing trend in “brat boy” comedies. While not necessarily new, there seems to be a resurgence in the largely male oriented films where the focus is on drinking beer, bedding the ladies and other “guy” things. Paul Ruud and Seann William Scott work for a company that sells energy drinks, touring the schools and trying to help give a message to ...
Going To Japan (part 1)
My friend Stephen and I are “concert buddies” – we usually have similar tastes in music and head out to a number of club shows together. We’ve seen some great shows over the years, and our fair share of ones that we wish we hadn’t paid anywhere near the money for. A couple of years ago he tried to enlist me into going on a road trip to some festival in the Los Angeles area ...

It’s the 1950’s and you need to have an actor portray somebody who is perhaps going mad. Who do you turn to? Richard Burton, of course. The Robe is a fictional account of the Roman Tribune who commanded the unit that oversaw the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. While we don’t really get much about this specific event, it is what happened to the man and his transformation and how it ties into the titular garment ...
