Paramount and Bay have put together an incredible Blu-ray package that delivers on all fronts. »»
When it comes to Michael Bay I think William Shakespeare sums it up best. "It is a tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." »»
Michael Bay delivers action in spades, but again fails at telling a story. »»

This movie should really begin with the disclaimer: "Warning! Those who are not familiar with the Mutant Chronicles role-playing game, please leave now." Or perhaps a little ten-page primer included with the DVD to give viewers a bit of background information needed to understand the movie, because, I have to say that coming in to this cold I felt pretty lost. »»
Understated comedy goes all mushy and soft in The Great Buck Howard, a movie built on a strong cast with a not-quite-as-strong script that nonetheless didn't get nearly the amount of respect it deserved at the box office. »»

The story for Burn After Reading is all over the place but it still flows so well that everything is connected no matter who is on screen.

Following last year's Best Picture winner No Country For Old Men, the Coen Brothers give you Burn After Reading. It's a dark comedy about the memoirs of an ex-CIA analyst (John Malkovich) that fall into the hands of two gym employees (Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt), all the while a Treasury agent (George Clooney), the analyst's wife (Tilda Swinton), and the CIA (headed by J.K. Simmons) get into the mix. Burn After Reading comes to DVD and Blu-ray* December 23rd. »»
Even before The Dark Knight wowed audiences, there was talk of a new film by Clint Eastwood. Considering his track record over the years, it was evident that the Oscar machine was in overdrive trying to generate some early buzz. Starring Angelina Jolie, Burn Notice's Jeffrey Donovan, John Malkovich and Colm Feore, Changeling is a thriller based on actual events. The trailer gives the film hope for Oscar consideration, but the overuse of Audio Machine's "House of Cards" is a bit much. (Besides Gone, Baby Gone, the music already has been used in trailers for this fall's Appaloosa and Pride and Glory). »»
