THE INCREDIBLE HULK
(Available as single-disc and 3-Disc Special Editions)
Any movie that’s single greatest moment comes during a scene where a massive green [...]

MONGOL: THE RISE OF GENGHIS KHAN
Planned to be the first in a trilogy about Genghis Khan’s life (with Mongol focusing on his younger years), this film was nominated in 2007 for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The movie has received mostly rave reviews (currently holding an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes), and though I haven’t seen it yet, I’m definitely looking forward to doing so as it’s been said to very gracefully combine family drama and romance with [...]

30 ROCK (SEASON 2)
I plan on one day marrying Tina Fey. I don’t care that she’s already married, or that she’s twice as old as me, or that she’s a Hollywood celebrity who I’ll probably never even meet, or that she would immediately reject me even if we did meet. Things like that don’t matter when you have love on your side. And when it comes to Tina Fey, what’s not to love? She’s beautiful, smart, funny as hell, [...]

IRON MAN
(Available as single-disc and Ultimate 2-Disc Editions)
While every other comic book movie keeps on edging closer and closer into “dark and gloomy” territory, Iron Man is here to maintain that there’s still some good old-fashioned fun to be had with the superheroes of the cinema world. It’s not flawless by any means, but it is incredibly entertaining, in many ways even exceeding the source material. Plus, Robert Downey, Jr. is such an unconventional casting choice for a superhero that [...]

THE GODFATHER COLLECTION (THE COPPOLA RESORATION)
(Available as separate 2-Disc releases for each film, or together as a 5-disc Giftset)
As much as I adore The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II, I’ve always been bothered by the crummy video quality on their DVD releases. It’s something that I notice every time I watch them, always acting as a nagging reminder that these classics were made in the ’70s and in turn making them feel more dated than the timeless storytelling and [...]

SPEED RACER
A film that has earned equal shares vehement hatred and unabashed praise, Speed Racer has proven itself one of the most divisive films to come out in a long while. This fact was made very clear when the movie only earned back $40 million of its $120 million budget. Even so, I have to admit to being one of the supporters for the film, as once I got past my initial nausea in reaction to the film’s over-stylized [...]

IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADEPLHIA (SEASON 3)
This may just be one of the most profane, crass, disgusting, and downright twisted shows to ever air on television. Those are just a few of its praise-worthy traits. It’s also gut-achingly hilarious. A live action equivalent of an R-rated cartoon, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia follows five ignorant, self-centered, arrogant douchebags who own a bar but rarely work in it, opting instead to find tasteless new hijinks to engage in on a daily [...]

THE OFFICE (SEASON 4)
Season Four of The Office may not be the best display of episodes the show has to offer, but it’s still a great season all the same. The most notable issue is that the story arc isn’t quite as well-rounded this go around, which is due in large part to the season being truncated to 14 episodes (thanks writer’s strike!). That’s not to say there haven’t been some interesting developments. For one, Jim and Pam are officially [...]

HEROES (SEASON 2)
There’s no question about it, Volume 2 of Heroes offered a major decline in quality compared to the show’s kickass first season. Combining weak new characters (Maya & Alejandro spring to mind) and lackluster plot progressions (such as Sylar losing his powers), the series seemed to be losing its touch all too quickly. Luckily, creator Tim Kring and company took notice of all of the internet backlash, and the second half of the season managed to bring [...]

SOUTH PARK (SEASON 11)
South Park has become almost run-of-the-mill in its episodic delivery of insanity these past few years, losing a little bit of that hilarious edge and non-stop creativity that made it once so very special. Even so, it remains above and beyond one of the best comedic shows on television, and there is always at least a couple great moments per episode. This includes everything from Randy incorrectly filling in the word “N_ggers” on national television to terrorists [...]
