Eagle Eye review

I got to see Eagle Eye tonight. I really liked it. It was pretty intense, especially the idea. It is definitely something that I recommend. Plenty of action and suspense. Highly recommended.

Also today, I received my copy of Iron Man, the 2 disc Ultimate Edition. I watched a couple of extra features on the second disc, a screen test of Robert Downey Jr., and a little video on Robert Downey Jr. and Jeff Bridges rehearsing for a scene. I will be looking at the making of documentary soon. Recommend you go out and buy it.

Dark Knight DVD, plus Paul Newman passes away

First of all, The Dark Knight has been confirmed to arrive on DVD and Blu Ray December 9. There are plenty of features for the 2 disc DVD edition and the Blu Ray. My hope is some features on transforming Heath Ledger into the Joker and how he was able to pull off such an amazing performance. As well, they are selling single disc editions, both widescreen and full screen separately. I wonder why they are still selling full screen editions. They are working on trying to sell more HDTVs and trying to get ride of square TVs. I am surprised. How many still buy full screen editions.


As well, you may have heard that Paul Newman passed away yesterday, after battling cancer. This really wasn't a surprise because there have been reports for a while that he wasn't doing well. This is sad news, even though I haven't seen many of his movies, but I did like him in The Sting and Cars. He will be missed.

More DVD announcements

Okay, I just learned of this today, so I thought I let you know, as I said that I plan to let you know about the main DVDs coming out in the next few months. Well, expect Get Smart to arrive on DVD and Blu Ray on November 4. Something for sure to look forward to. If you missed it in theaters, I definitely recommend checking it out on DVD, it is really funny. I agree with anyone that said that there were a few things that could have been left out, but nonetheless I laughed really hard during the movie.

Oh yeah, expect Hellboy 2 to arrive on DVD November 11. I will keep you posted on more DVD announcements as I hear them. As well, I will give you a quick review of the Iron Man DVD set when it arrives.

This weekend!

This weekend will see the release of the movie Eagle Eye. I am really looking forward to it, I don't know too much about the plot but I recommend checking out the trailer. I don't know exactly when I will check out the movie, probably opening night, but we will see. As always, once I see it, I will let you know what I think.

As for DVDs, there are a few releases this week, nothing I wanted to get my hands on, but there might be something for you. There is Sex and the City and Leatherheads, and also Paramount rereleased the Godfather movies. Next week, Iron Man!!! I am so excited. May not be too much in selection next week, but Iron Man, come on?

As well, check for good sales like at Best Buy, there is always great movies at very low prices.

DVDs coming out

I just found out the other day a few DVDs that are coming out soon. On October 28, look for the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth on DVD and Blu-Ray, as well expect them to come with 3D glasses for anyone that wants to watch it in 3D, and for anyone who doesn't, there is the option to watch it normal. I wasn't a huge fan on the 3D part, but I think that's pretty cool.

As well, expect Hancock on November 25. Speaking of Hancock, Will Smith's movie last year I Am Legend is being rereleased on DVD December 9 as an Ultimate Collector's Edition, it should be packed with plenty of goodies. Funny, around that time last year was when it arrived in theaters and became a legend at the box office.

There is a lot to come out within the next few months on DVD. Iron Man arrives on September 30, I am excited for that. There is plenty to look forward to.

DVD updates

Like I said, I would let you know on any confirmations concerning DVD releases. Here are some of the updates that are coming through. The first one really shocks me, Kung Fu Panda will be released on November 9, and if you look on your calendar it is a Sunday, that's right, a Sunday! There is also a direct to video release on the same day called Secrets of the Furious Five. Other news is that The X-Files: I Want to Believe will be released on December 2. Oh yeah, all of these dates include the Blu Ray version. There will also be a Blu Ray release of the first X-Files movie that day as well. There is also a rumor that The Rocker will be released on DVD October 14, if true, that is a really quick trip from the theaters to DVD.

As for this week, there are plenty of releases. Two of the movies are the blockbuster bombs of the summer, Speed Racer and The Love Guru. Speed Racer in my opinion was enjoyable, there were a lot of cool visuals and was a fun movie to watch, I think anyone that wants to check it out should. Love Guru, haven't seen it and don't care to. There is also a release of a Deluxe Edition of Beetlejuice. Many other releases like Avatar: The Last Airbender Book 3, Made of Honor, 88 Minutes, and many others.

Computers have changed since 1983

I recently watched the movie War Games. That movie was made back in 1983 and the big thing that I noticed was that the computers have changed so much since then. They seemed so much simpler in what they could do then, and now we can do so much more now. I also noticed how young Matthew Broderick is. If anyone hasn't checked the movie out before, I recommend checking it out, it was a fun movie to watch.

Quantum of Solace trailer

Yes, there is a new trailer for the new James Bond movie, "Quantum of Solace". It looks like it should be very good. I am really excited. I liked Casino Royale, Daniel Craig did a good job last time as James Bond. Exciting. Check out the trailer on movies.yahoo.com


Being Tuesday, there are a bunch of new DVDs released today. The main ones are Baby Mama and The Forbidden Kingdom. I haven't seen Baby Mama, some said it was pretty funny, but it isn't anything on the top of my list. The Forbidden Kingdom was something I saw before the summer started and I liked it, it is a fun movie with plenty of action, lots of beautiful scenery, and nice to see Jackie Chan and Jet Li together.

I don't know what will come this weekend at the movies, nothing seems that exciting. Things really slow down for movies in the Fall, hopefully there are some good offerings here and there. The one movie I am looking forward to this month is Eagle Eye. Check out the trailer if you haven't seen one yet.

Box Office Update

Box office for Labor Day weekend saw The Dark Knight cross $500 million in total domestic earnings, and saw Tropic Thunder stay on top of the charts even with new movies out. Babylon AD was in the number two spot, The Dark Knight in number three, House Bunny in number four, and Traitor in number five. Not too bad.

I ended up watching the movie King Arthur the other day and it was pretty good. It was a movie released in 2004 but wasn't entirely successful. I rented it off iTunes and watched it, and it was pretty good. There were some really cool battle sequences near the end. I definitely recommend checking it out at least once. It's funny that there is a lot of great stuff that comes out to the theaters, but there are also a lot of stuff on DVD that is worth checking out, whether it is old or new. Speaking of DVDs, The Office season 4 came out yesterday, and Transformers arrived on Blu-Ray.
