Look, I can see that you think you know me. But I don't know who you are. My name is Captain Colter Stevens.Any movie wrought for your own theory usually has potential to become a masterpiece in my eyes, and even though "Source Code" might not be perfect with the little things, its opened-discussion c...more

The things I liked in I Am Number Four, I liked a lot, while the same could be said for the things I disliked. The result is an average-to-decent movie that could have been so much better.I have been a fan of director D.J. Caruso since his first feature, the wonderful and sadly underseen/underrated drama The Salton Sea. I really enjoyed his last feature, Eagle Eye, which was a ...more

Overall, when one considers that this film was viewed as a pariah during the go-go 1980s, it is excellent to see that opinions have swung wildly the other way.On the face of things, Raging Bull tells the story of middleweight boxing champion Jake La Motta. We see him battle various boxers in the ring, win a lot, not go down when the mob wants him to...more

Lois (Princess Leia): Aren't you a little fat to be a stormtrooper? Chris (Luke Skywalker): Well, stay here and rot, you stuck-up bitch!Definitely the first half of this trilogy, meaning all of Blue Harvest, and half of Something, Something, Something Dark Side. It seemed like that was when the best jokes occurred, and didn't fall bac...more

Matthew Vaughn's blood-splattered, super-hero extravaganza "Kick-Ass" will definitely be enjoyed by the film's hardcore fan-base but the film's constant need to exaggerate violence and profanity might be a turn off for newcomers.Audio quality is top notch. A crisp clear sound that can be heard from wherever and should definitely showcase your new audio system. The special features offered on this. Blu-Ray release are interest...more

More so than Cameron's Oscar winning "Tittanic". This Blu-Ray release features both the Blu-Ray disc and the DVD disc which makes it convenient. The video an...more
