Scooby-Doo and Blue Falcon? I’m so there! I loved both as a kid, so I couldn’t resist the latest direct-to-video “Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon,” which came out last week. Most of these are fairly mediocre and, truth be told, this one isn’t much different. But it’s so imbued with nostalgia, adult fans can … Continue Reading →
It’s time for more “Animaniacs” — finally! They’re sill zany to the max on this three-disc collection that gives us the remaining episodes from one of the greatest cartoon series ever made. It’s a perfect mix of humor, heart, music, slapstick, frivolity, character, “did she really just say that?” madness, and it was a real … Continue Reading →
Remember last week when I joked about getting the flu so I could get caught up on my anime and DVR? Well, it wasn’t the flu, but I was laid up a couple days this week, so the blog suffered a bit. But while I was busy applying bags of frozen peas to my wound … Continue Reading →
Wowsers! I just saw a post at TVShowsonDVD.com about a new “Superman” collection and had to head over to the Warner Bros. press site for the skinny. If you’ve enjoyed the various “Superman” shows over the years but haven’t splurged for the DVDs, this is sounds like a terrific sampler set. The 30-disc set will … Continue Reading →
I missed it in the theaters, so I was glad to get the chance to watch Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight Rises” while I was off last week. But I must say, if it weren’t for Anne Hathaway, the movie would have been a write-off for me. She was the best thing about it and didn’t … Continue Reading →
The trouble with nostalgia titles is that they don’t always live up to childhood memories. While I enjoyed the release of Saturday morning staple “Isis” a while back, the years haven’t been as kind to its one-time partner “Shazam!,” now available from the Warner Bros. Archive Collection. The series aired from 1974-76, and I admit … Continue Reading →
Be vewy, vewy quiet. I’m watching “Looney Tunes Platinum Collection” (vol. 2). Yes, director Chuck Jones’ iconic hunting trilogy, with the iconic lines “Duck Season! Wabbit Season!” and “Shoot him now! Shoot him now!,” are in this three-Blu-ray (or two-DVD) set along with 47 other “Looney Tunes” and “Merrie Melodies,” plus 31 more related shorts … Continue Reading →
UPDATE: Added Warner Bros. movies! I don’t usually post a lot about new acquisitions and announcements of upcoming DVD/Blu-rays — mainly because I just get so many of them. But a few have crossed my desk in the last couple days that I feel deserve some special attention because of the awesomeness involved with the … Continue Reading →
Disney may be known as the “House of Mouse,” but Chuck Jones’ stint at Warner Bros. also gave the rodent a funny face, as evidenced in this week’s new DVD and Blu-ray set “Looney Tunes: The Chuck Jones Collection — Mouse Chronicles.” This two-disc set focuses on two of Jones shorts series featuring mice, with … Continue Reading →
Though it’s been available for PC for a while now, “The Witcher 2″ finally hit Xbox recently. The story follows Geralt of Rivia, one of few witchers left in the world. Despite the name, they don’t hunt just witches, but have been specially enhanced and train to kill monsters of all sorts. As you play … Continue Reading →
