DVD Round Up

 Time to get through a pile of DVDs that have collected here at Penguin Comics Central. Pay attention there are lots of goodies in here.

Really?? Corey Feldman needs to fins something else to do. He should be playing people's fathers by now.

I like this Doctor. Sure, he reminds me a little of Gordon Ramsey, but I look past that at a really great storyline. Oh and about that. It doesn't always need to be an epic storyline. They could just do little stories of The Doctor like in the old days. It doesn't all have to tie into something. And Miss Amy Pond is smoking hot. Probably the hottest of the bunch, but I still like Martha Jones more.

This just seemed dark. And by dark I mean poorly lit. And don't hookers get naked. I'm pretty sure they do. Megan Fox will go down in history as the most clothed prostitute in all of film history. Bleh!

Yeah, I watched the original back in the day when there wasn't a lot of choices in TV land. It rocked. This seemed, well forced at best.

The BBC version always seems more concerned with staying true to the text and not as flashy as the Disney productions. My question is why doesn't anyone ever adapt The Magician's Nephew? That's my favorite book of the bunch.

I thought I should end this column on a high note. Classic Scooby with my favorite episode of the haunted airport with the creepy skull guy in the spacesuit. This is the one that creeped me out as a little kid and it still carries some emotional weight to this day.



Well, there ya go. If one of these reviews has tempted you to buy something then by all means use the handy dandy buttons I supplied at the end of each little review.
Have an excellent day!

Psycho Pumpkins

Happy Halloween!

A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)

Five teenage friends living on one street all dream of a sinister man with a disfigured face, a frightening voice and a gardener’s glove with knives for fingers. But when one among them dies, they soon realize that what happens in their dreams happens for real and the only way to stay alive is to stay awake. Buried in their past is a debt that has just come due. To save themselves, they must plunge into the mind of the most twisted nightmare of all: Freddy Krueger. Jackie Earle Haley plays the legendary evildoer in this contemporary reimagining of the seminal horror classic.

Yeah, no way I was watching this one. Being a true fan of the original films I knew they would ruin it. Since I have yet to receive the screener, I'll stick with that opinion.

Splice Blu Ray Combo Pack

Superstar genetic engineers Clive (Adrien Brody) and Elsa (Sarah Polley) specialize in splicing DNA from different animals to create incredible new hybrids. Now they want to use human DNA in a hybrid that could revolutionize science and medicine. But when the pharmaceutical company that funds their research forbids it, they secretly take their experiment underground – risking their careers to push the boundaries of science and serve their own curiosity and ambition. The result is Dren, an amazing, strangely beautiful creature of uncommon intelligence and unexpected physical developments. At first, Dren exceeds their wildest dreams. But as she grows and learns at an accelerated rate, her existence threatens to become their worst nightmare.

Isn't this just Species? And the girl was cuter in Species.

Human Target Season 1 on DVD and Blu Ray

DC Comics can give us normal chracters right next to the ones who wear capes and fly around for a living. One such charcater who has been a part of the DC roster for decades is Christopher Chance, also known as The Human Target. If someone is after you Chance is your man to make sure you are taken out of harm's way. With his support crew, Ops manager Winston (Chi McBride) and techno genius Guerrero (Jackie Earle Haley) The bad guys do not stand a chance against The Human Target.

Two and a Half Men The Complete Seveth Season

I have to admit that I rarely catch this show and when I do, it's usually on syndication. Now in it's seventh season with a child actor who makes quite a bit of bank, it is still a really funny show. Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer have amazing Chemistry together. From what I understand this one will be around for quite some time.
