DVD Reviews: Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the Beast (Three-Disc Diamond Edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo in Blu-ray Packaging)“Guys go for looks / Girls go for status” The Hold SteadyI begin this review wanting to tear this film a new one (I know, making a statement like this in a review for what most consider the most perfect children’s film ever made). Maybe it’s the few dark 'n stormy’s that I had at a company party before I started writing, maybe it’s the pact I just made with Pixar, or maybe it's the counter culture music I’m ... continue reading...

DVD Reviews: When in Rome

When in Rome [Blu-ray]When I receive a movie like this I say “oh shoot, not another prepackaged rom-com.” Also, as usual the viewer has two very likable actors, and in the first act they make a connection, and in the third act they make some romance. Along the way there are usual speed bumps. Here comes the oddity - I really do enjoy both of the starring actors in this film, especially rom-coms Bell who was successful in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Duhamel, who was great in Win A Date With ... continue reading...
