A+ 93% Marvel's The Avengers (2012) " Since Best Picture Oscars are awarded to Producers then the Producers of Marvel's The Avengers deserve a best picture Oscar just for pulling this off. The fact that the movie is freaking amazing is just icing on the cake!" — Eclipse Magazine
Posted May 4, 2012
A+ 89% The Lion King (2011) " This is my first experience with The Lion King it is a surprisingly dark, deep and more complex movie than I thought it would be. There's a reason why everyone loves it. One of the best animated films of all time and amazing 3D." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Apr 22, 2012
A+ 60% Real Steel (2011) " Love this movie and the Blu-ray contains a flawless transfer. I wish they did a bit more with the features, but what's here is decent. This isn't "reference" quality work, but the movie is one everyone should see. " — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Apr 22, 2012
A 60% Real Steel (2011) " Wow, they actually made Rock Em Sock Em Robots - The Movie! Even more surprising is how amazing this movie is. Filled to the brim with heart, soul, grit, and fun. One of the best movies of 2011." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Apr 22, 2012
A+ 93% West Side Story (1961) " Let's stand up and applaud everyone involved in this Blu-ray project, from the stunning transfer to the great set of extras, they did an excellent job with this Blu-ray set and produced reference quality work." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Apr 22, 2012
A 89% Lady and the Tramp (1955) " I liked this movie a lot, the Blu-ray does it justice, but the extras while full featured - are from the DVD, which always feels a bit "lazy" to me when they don't produce, new material specifically for Blu-ray. " — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Apr 22, 2012
A 89% Lady and the Tramp (1955) " I just love hand drawn animation, it really brings to life all the characters in a very expressive way. The imperfections doing it by hand give everything a rougher edge but more heart." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Apr 22, 2012
A 77% War Horse (2011) " This movie holds up remarkably well and gets better with each successive viewing and works even better on a home theater system. The Blu-ray transfer is beautiful and it has enough extras to hold your interest." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Apr 22, 2012
A 96% The Muppets (2011) " Everything here just works. Its weird, colorful world is breath of cinema fresh air. The Muppets is a world where you just have to believe that these "muppets" are real and not question the whys and how of it." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Mar 28, 2012
A 85% Chronicle (2012) " Takes all the standard Super Hero movie cliches dresses it up with an interesting "documentary" style approach that makes the movie seem fresher than it actually ends up being. " — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Feb 5, 2012
A 77% War Horse (2011) " If there was a way to nominate a horse for best Actor, Joey "The Forrest Gump" of horses would get it. The most touching horse bromance I've seen all year." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Dec 24, 2011
A+ 94% Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol (2011) " The skyscraper scene in iMax is worth the price of admission. One of the most exhilarating movie experiences of the last few years." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Dec 18, 2011
A 96% Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 (2011) " The movie still looks drab, dark and blah but Yates has finally made a Harry Potter movie fans can be proud of and sends this Franchise off on a high note." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Jul 17, 2011
A 94% The Town (2010) " The Town isn't original in any sense of the word, but Affleck does a marvelous job executing all of the pieces and is easily one of the best films of 2010." — Eclipse Magazine

A 18% Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) Eclipse Magazine
Posted Jan 25, 2011
A 40% The Expendables (2010) " This movie isn't for everyone, Stallone knows his audience - it does not try to push the envelope, doesn't use cgi tricks - this movie is strictly for fans of old school action movies" — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Dec 24, 2010
A 91% The Fighter (2010) " I'm a sucker for a good sports movie, add Christin Bale in a Oscar worthy performance, Amy Adams and Mark Wahlberg and you can't go wrong. Great cast, good story makes it one of the year's best." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Dec 19, 2010
A 50% Tron Legacy (2010) " The "Youngification" of Jeff Bridges is downright creepy, but groundbreaking. Hedlund does a great job of being the emotional center of this movie. Great visuals are matched by a good story." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Dec 19, 2010
A+ 76% Kick-Ass (2010) " This movie has everything I love, Comedy, Elvis, Heroes, and Over the top Action all executed perfectly. I left the theater giddy with happiness. Best movie of the year." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Apr 17, 2010
A 88% Inglourious Basterds (2009) " In this year of bland, boring, vision-less studio films Ingourious Basterds is a fun, inventive breath of fresh air that I just wanted to keep breathing in and hold as if my life depended on it." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Aug 21, 2009
A 95% Star Trek (2009) " Star Trek is a truly good, dare I say great movie. But I don't think it has a lot of re-watchabilty and not in the league of The Dark Knight"." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted May 8, 2009

Posted Apr 20, 2009
A 94% Slumdog Millionaire (2008) " Director Danny Boyle has crafted one of the best and most surprising films of the year. Slumdog Millionaire is a dour film to watch but somehow manages to maintain a heart." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Dec 7, 2008
A 84% King Kong (2005) " Kong is not without its flaws, but sometimes you just have to throw your hands up in the air, wave them like you just don't care, scream at the top of your lungs and just go with the rollercoaster ride, that's what this film is." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Oct 18, 2008
A+ 94% The Dark Knight (2008) " Nolan and company did such an incredible job with this and tied up all the loose ends so well, that it's hard to fathom what they could do and where they could go with a 3rd film.

Posted Jul 22, 2008

Posted Jul 22, 2005
A 85% Batman Begins (2005) " This film is serious, real, and most of all BELIEVABLE. This is both why it's amazing and fails to elicit a "strong" emotional attachment. Almost too serious." — Eclipse Magazine
Posted Jun 15, 2005
A 91% Shaun of the Dead (2004) " Shaun's dry wit, and humor is why it succeeds where most Zombie film's fail. It's the funniest movie of the year." — Eclipse Magazine
