Dredd Blu-Ray Review; Dredd 3-D, while flawed, is a vast improvement over Stallone’s clunker… [rating=3] I wrote awhile back how Sylvester Stallone’s Judge Dredd was one of the worst comic book movies ever made. It missed everything that made the character great; dark satire, absurdist violence and the cardinal rule; Dredd doesn’t take his helmet off! After it’s release […]

Frankenweenie Review: Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie Gets An Undead Lease On Life on Blu-ray, with stellar results. [rating=4] Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie was a box office disappointment. That’s unfortunate, as it’s Burton’s best movie since Ed Wood (Which was sadly also a box office flop upon it’s release). Perhaps it’s the black and white cinematography or out of […]
Lost Sirens, New Order’s long-awaited release of unused tracks from 2005’s Waiting For The Siren’s Call is finally here. Was it worth the wait?
