Escape (2012) Blu-ray Review
Posted May 11th, 2013 by Brandon A. DuHamel
This Norwegian medieval survival adventure is light on the plot and heavy on the action, with good shots of the Scandinavian scenery. It’s a watch it and forget it popcorn flick for a slow weekend.
Osombie Blu-ray Review
Posted January 30th, 2013 by Brendan Surpless
Osombie is way over-the-top at times, but is still semi-entertaining for a ‘shut your brain’ off afternoon. If you have nothing better to watch, then give this one a spin for some mindless entertainment.

War of the Dead is a wartime horror/thriller that’s as dead as a doornail.
The Lady Blu-ray Review
Posted November 25th, 2012 by Lawrence D. Devoe, MD
Director Luc Besson gives us a moving, well-crafted docudrama about Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. Atmospheric score and cinematography support a powerful performance by Michele Yeoh as The Lady and her struggle to bring democracy to the oppressed people of Burma.

Titanic (2012) Blu-ray Review
Posted April 20th, 2012 by Brandon A. DuHamel
If a lesser version of Downton Abbey set on the water is what you’re looking for, then this melodramatic Titanic mini-series is the right Blu-ray for you.
Age of Heroes Blu-ray Review
Posted January 25th, 2012 by Brandon A. DuHamel
A disappointingly average war film with a middling high definition transfer, Age of Heroes is filled with wasted potential.
