 Directv, Verizon and The NFL Sunday Ticket? Blu-Ray Review- South Pacific Thursday, May 7, 2009 I read a very interesting piece the other day on Yahoo News regarding the merger of Direct TV and Liberty Media. The link is here: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/DirecTV-Gains-Content-zacks-15124240.html?.v=1. I found the article to be interesting in that it notes that the merger could be a precursor to a possible sale of Directv to Verizon Communications or AT&T. While I acknowledge that Verizon read more... | Comments   Blu-Ray Reviews: Quantum of Solace and Slumdog Millionaire Friday, April 24, 2009 QUANTUM OF SOLACE THE MOVIE- 1.5 stars out of 5 While watching this film, I kept asking myself, “What have they done with the real James Bond?” While I appreciated the updating of the Bond character in Casino Royale, the Bond portrayed by Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace lost me completely. Gone is the wit, charm and humor that we associated with ole’ 007 as portrayed by Sean read more... | Comments   Blu-Ray Reviews- Changeling and Beverly Hills Chihuahua Tuesday, February 24, 2009 For today’s reviews, I thought I would go with two films on the opposite ends of the spectrum, a depressing real life story and a fun family film featuring live action animation. CHANGELING THE MOVIE- 2.5 stars out of 5 Man, is this a depressing film. It stars Angelina Jolie in her Oscar nominated role as Christine Collins, a mother living in Los Angelos in the late 1920’s whose 9 read more... | Comments   Blu-Ray Review- Madagascar 2- Escape to Africa Saturday, February 21, 2009 THE FILM- 3.5 stars out of 5 The gang from Madagascar all return for this sequel, which finds our “heroes” looking to leave Madagascar and return to New York on an airplane built by the penguins that were the highlight of the original film. All the same actors return here to do the voices, namely Ben Stiller as the Lion, Chris Rock as the Zebra, Jada Pinkett Smith as the read more... | Comments   The Rock Collection on Blu-Ray: Doom, The Rundown/The Scorpion King Tuesday, February 17, 2009 DOOM THE MOVIE- 1.5 stars out of 5 Doom has to be my least favorite film starring The Rock. It is definitely the weakest of the three films included in this collection. The film is based on the popular video game of the same name. About a decade or so prior to the beginning of the film, a gate was discovered buried in the Nevada desert that is able to transport people read more... | Comments   Blu-Ray Reviews: 13 Going on 30/Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist Wednesday, February 4, 2009 13 Going On 30 THE MOVIE- 2 1/2 stars out of 5 13 Going On 30 stars Jennifer Garner and involves a tale that is a twist on the Tom Hanks film Big. Here, the story centers around a pre-teen named Jenna Rick who is unhappy about her popularity at school. She schedules a party to celebrate her 13th birthday and invites all the popular kids at school as well as her best read more... | Comments   Blu-Ray Reviews: RocknRolla Appaloosa Zodiac Thursday, January 29, 2009 RocknRolla THE MOVIE- 2 stars out of 5 Directed by Madonna’s ex, RocknRolla is a real mishmash of a film. The film takes place in London and involves a Russian mobster who comes to London to build a building that is prohibited by London’s building code. He hires a local mobster, Lenny Cole (Tom Wilkinson), to persuade the lawmakers and zoning officers to approve the read more... | Comments   Blu-Ray Review- Max Payne/Pride and Glory/In the Name of the King A Dungeon Siege Tale Tuesday, January 27, 2009 Back from a trip and it is now time to clear up some titles sent in for review. I thought an action suspense triple header was in order. MAX PAYNE THE MOVIE- 1 1/2 stars out of 5 Max Payne stars Mark Wahlberg in an adaption based on the popular video game of the same name. Max Payne is a New York City cop whose wife and child were brutally murdered in their home just before he read more... | Comments   Blu-Ray Review- The Pink Panther Friday, January 23, 2009 Having just returned from a vacation in Paris, it seemed appropriate that my first review after my return would be The Pink Panther set in, where else, Paris. THE MOVIE- 2 stars out of 5 The Pink Panther is based on the original films from the 1960’s and 1970’s starring Peter Sellers as the incompetent and bumbling but lovable Inspector Clouseau. However, lovable is not the word read more... | Comments   Blu-Ray Review- King Kong Wednesday, January 14, 2009 THE MOVIE- 2 1/2 stars out of 5 This film is the remake of the original 1930’s classic starring Naomi Watts, Jack Black and Adrien Brody and is written and directed by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame. Set during the depression, the film opens around a down and out actress (Watts) looking to find work so that she can eat who crosses paths with a con artist of a read more... | Comments  http://finance.yahoo.com/news/DirecTV-Gains-Content-zacks-15124240.html?.v=1EB32BC46-4E80-4E1D-9729-74FE4DF6CC28.htmlEB32BC46-4E80-4E1D-9729-74FE4DF6CC28.html#comment_layer6F49E2C6-1D76-435A-8523-D9270AD12165.html6F49E2C6-1D76-435A-8523-D9270AD12165.html#comment_layer9076C2A2-F559-4C37-A004-1A750A680C45.html9076C2A2-F559-4C37-A004-1A750A680C45.html#comment_layerC2F11894-9DE8-4346-A5CD-972A0086EBAA.htmlC2F11894-9DE8-4346-A5CD-972A0086EBAA.html#comment_layer7ABF68DE-916A-462E-AD67-75189A20FA5F.html7ABF68DE-916A-462E-AD67-75189A20FA5F.html#comment_layer494EF37F-3E66-4A49-9D12-452422BCF622.html494EF37F-3E66-4A49-9D12-452422BCF622.html#comment_layer1B56BCBC-247F-49F2-8E2B-FBCA33C1494E.html1B56BCBC-247F-49F2-8E2B-FBCA33C1494E.html#comment_layer93FDA585-49B0-40A5-AD61-F49CBD2E7CFA.html93FDA585-49B0-40A5-AD61-F49CBD2E7CFA.html#comment_layer86477929-8F5C-45C6-B9E4-0186CE01235F.html86477929-8F5C-45C6-B9E4-0186CE01235F.html#comment_layerEC64B861-3869-4B88-A289-4A49CBA25CE0.htmlEC64B861-3869-4B88-A289-4A49CBA25CE0.html#comment_layershapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2shapeimage_2_link_3shapeimage_2_link_4shapeimage_2_link_5shapeimage_2_link_6shapeimage_2_link_7shapeimage_2_link_8shapeimage_2_link_9shapeimage_2_link_10shapeimage_2_link_11shapeimage_2_link_12shapeimage_2_link_13shapeimage_2_link_14shapeimage_2_link_15shapeimage_2_link_16shapeimage_2_link_17shapeimage_2_link_18shapeimage_2_link_19shapeimage_2_link_20
