Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Quest for the Crystal Mickey DVD Review
click the title above to read the full review...
Synopsis: There's no time to lose after greedy Plunderin' Pete snatches the legendary Crystal Mickey statue from the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Without this sparkly statue's magic, the Clubhouse will disappear forever! Can the world's most extraordinary hero, Mickey, get the magical statue back in time?
Only with your help - and the right Mouseketools - can Mickey journey across the Sandy Desert, brave the Rushing River and make his way through the Hidden Jungle. But watch out for Pete's trickiest traps!
Review: I remember a time, not too long ago, when I thought that the Mickey character was dead in the water. He wasn't really used anymore and was more of an aged symbol of the Disney brand. Then, something magical happened...the Disney Channel started airing Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, a CGI based cartoon, and all of a sudden Mickey and friends gained new legs! My three year old is Mickey CRAZY. This DVD features the great Quest for the Crystal Mickey feature and an additional four episodes. This one is wildly entertaining, fun and kid friendly. We cannot recommend it enough!
Includes the additional episodes "Donald Of The Desert," "Donald The Genie," "Goofy's Coconutty Monkey," and "Goofy's Giant Adventure."

Review: No one does Japanese anime like Miyazaki. Fortunately, thanks to John Lasseter being the head of Disney animation they are importing Miyazaki's fantastic and moving films. This is the debut of Howl's Moving Castle on blu-ray high-definition! The film, at it's heart, is a love story. Its extremely dynamic and visually stunning. We cannot recommend it enough.

Review: I had no idea what was going on with this film. My sister brought it over ages ago and introduced my daughter to it. Since then, she has raved about Totoro. She even has a Totoro themed hat that she wears in the winter! I'd heard that he was kind of like a Japanese Winnie the Pooh, but I felt like this new release was a great time to see what all the fuss is about!
The film is very fanciful and interesting. Not surprising for a Miyazaki anime. It centers around these two sisters, who are very close. Their mother is in the hospital, so their dad takes them to this new home. There, they meet the spirit of the forest, Totoro. He takes them on magical journies and cares for them while their mother is away. Its a very touching and wonderful story.
The film is finally available on blu-ray, which will please anime fans! The movie looks amazing in high-definition. This one is a great addition to your collection!

Stand-Up Guys Blu-Ray Review
Synopsis: STAND UP GUYS stars Academy Award winners Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin as retired gangsters who reunite for one epic last night. But one of the friends is keeping a dangerous secret - he has to kill his friend, and his time to find an acceptable alternative is running out. As the sun rises on the guys' reunion, their position becomes more and more desperate and they finally confront their pasts once and for all.
Review: If you're looking for a film that has three legendary actors..this one is for you! This film is half life drama and half dark comedy. The film is dominated by Walken and Pacino, who both do great, but the real highlight of the film is Alan Arkin, who is a favorite of mine. The film is a great aftermath to the criminal buddy flick..we get to see what happens to aging criminals, with a very gratifying conclusion. I highly recommend this one!

Captain America: Collector's Edition Blu-Ray Review
click the title above to read the full review...
Synopsis: Long ago, Steve Rogers (Matt Salinger) was a true American hero, a brave super soldier created by scientists to help the Allied Forces fight for freedom in World War II. But during a battle with the sinister Red Skull (Scott Paulin), he was lost, entombed in ice. Decades later, his body has been found and revived and Steve must again don the mantle of Captain America to help save the President of the United States (Ronny Cox) , and the world, from his arch-nemesis once and for all.
For the first time, director Albert Pyun’s cult classic is presented in widescreen and in astonishing high-definition!
Review: This is what Shout Factory does best. They bring us things sometimes forgotten...sometimes for the better, but to many of us b-movie enthusiasts films like this are the best! Think back to a time before the X-Men films..before Spiderman..the Dark Knight..The Avengers..remember when comic book movies were awful more often than not? Captain America falls into this category. Its 1990s comic book movie at its worst. That being said, its also a huge guilty pleasure, and I honestly think Red Skull looks better in this version than the modern one! This is a must have for any comic book or b-movie fan. The movie looks great in high-definition for the first time! This release also includes a

LEGO Batman: The Movie - DC Super Heroes Unite Blu-Ray / DVD Review
LEGO Batman: The Movie - DC Super Heroes Unite Blu-Ray / DVD Review
Synopsis:
When Bruce Wayne receives the man of the year award, fellow billionaire Lex
Luthor becomes jealous and decides to run for President. To create the
atmosphere for his type of fear-based politics Lex recruits the Joker to perfect
a Black LEGO Destructor Ray which wreaks havoc on Gotham. As Lex destroys
Batman's tech, Batman reluctantly turns to Superman for help.
Review: The first thing to note is that this comes in a blu-ray /
DVD combo pack, which is fantastic as a parent and collector. I keep
the blu-ray and the kids can borrow the DVD. It works out great. The
box set also includes an exclusive Clark Kent Lego mini-figure! A great
bonus....although I'd rather have had a Bruce Wayne personally.
Whats Good About this Film
The film credits open with Danny Elfman's classic Batman theme from 1989 and a mimic of the opening credits, with the Batman symobol forming out of Lego. Definately a good move and a great way to get fans into the mood! Batman and Superman continue their long time rivalry. Supes shows up in the nick of time to the tune of his classic John Williams composed movie theme. The typical arrogant boyscout, his every word and movement annoys Batman to the upteenth degree. The entire Justice League gets involved in the film, along with a huge portion of Batman's rogues gallery.
Whats GREAT About this Film
The voice cast is full of experienced voice actors of the highest quality, including two classic Ninja Turtles alum, Townsend Coleman and Rob Paulsen. The highlight, however, is Clancy Brown reprising his long-time role as Lex Luthor. He brings a dignity and presence to the character that is unmatched.
What to watch for
The film is full of a fantastic mixture of action and humor. The tongue in cheek comedy is one of the best parts of the Lego films, from Star Wars to Batman. The film even ends with the hint of a sequel, which would be wonderful in this reviewer's opinion!
Bonus Features
This set includes some great bonus features, including a fun feature about the Lego stop motion animator bringing some kids into his studio and teaching them about animation. Also, we get a few episodes of Brave and the Bold and a Teen Titans episode to watch. Then, we get the finalists from the Batman Lego stop motion animation contest. Tons of fun stuff to watch.
