Immortals Blu-Ray DVD Review

March 19, 2012 by Eddy 1 Comment

For pure entertainment value Immortals Blu-Ray DVD fits the bill. The movie is huge and bombastic and relies on the type of visuals that just pop on your brand new HD TV screen. For the most part, the story falls in the same trap that Clash of the Titans does, investing more in the visual than with the premise. Though that isn’t a bad thing in this case, sometimes you want to read a beach book and not War and Peace if you get my meaning. The movie provides you with all the fighting/action all in a plot that doesn’t really strain your resources to understand. For me this is a perfect movie to watch in a Home Theater (now I just have to figure out how to buy one for myself!). The story follows the journey of Theseus (Henry Cavill, our new Superman) as he tries to thwart King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) from releasing the Titans who will then procedure to destroy the gods ie. Zeus, Apollo, Poseidon etcetera. To do this, he basically kills everyone in sight, makes a … [Read more...]

Thor Movie Review

By Eddy Not bad Marvel, not bad at all. Considering all that could have gone wrong (ala Wolverine) along with a director not experienced with Large popcorn action flicks (ala Ang Lee with Hulk) Thor rise the ranks of the comic book movie Patheon to arrive somewhere below the first Spiderman and above the second Iron Man. Both movies were well received and in the case of Spiderman broke records, but when taken in full perspective of all the movies out there fails to reach the lofty heights of Spiderman 2 and both new Batman movies, rarified air to say the least. Though I wouldn’t complain there are a ton of films that fall in the same plateau as Thor, the X-Men movies, Superman Returns and the various indie movies from the Crow to Kick Ass. Each one was fun to watch, but never really took the next step to make it a truly great film. In this case, it could be the subject matter that was its downfall. In the scheme of things, Thor isn’t really a fan favorite nor really … [Read more...]

Mattel Green Lantern Party

May 6, 2011 by Divina Rodriguez 3 Comments

By Eddy Armed with our power ring, Big Bro and I decided to go out in the vast reaches of Westchester County (also known as the final frontier) and recruit a couple of brave souls to join us in the Green Lantern Corps! To join us on journey was our trusty sidekick Mommy! and the newest trainee to the Corps, Baby Brother. Check out pictures of our fantastic adventure below: The kids loved the toys so much they forgot about the party sweets to just play. In all seriousness, when Mattel asked us to sponsor a Green Lantern party for the upcoming feature film (out in theaters on June 17th, 2011) how could we say no, especially with all the cool stuff all the kids got during the party. Along with sample of their new line of action figures that haven’t been released to the public, everyone got a full size glowing power ring as well as a graphic novel retelling the origin of the Green Lantern. Each action figure comes with a transformation toy that allows the toy to … [Read more...]
