News reviews, plus catching up on some Disney history! |
|
Super Friends: The Lost Episodes
These episodes saw the last of ther Wonder Twins, and a lot of cheesy plots. But darned if I wasn’t entertained. |
|
Race To Witch Mountain
Disney’s modern update of its own 1975 thriller isn’t as shameless as it might have been, providing the same kind of thrills for today’s audience that the original did back in original release, but the discs are very poor in terms of supplements, making this Race a rental at best. |

|
Green Lantern: First Flight
DC Comics’ Emerald Warrior gets his own exciting, visually impressive movie. The extras are plentiful even if they don’t address the movie too much. But comic fans especially will enjoy everything. |

Who's watching the Watchmen?
Who’s watching the Watchmen? Well it seems, after a somewhat lacklustre theatrical outing earlier this year, that many of you are, since it’s been topping the DVD and Blu-ray sales and rental charts. It’s the kind of film that, as I say in my review for the Watchmen: Director’s Cut on Blu-ray Disc, is more […] |
|
Watchmen: Director’s Cut
Love it or hate it, director Zack Snyder’s immensely intricate translation of Moore/Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is an impressive achievement, and this more cohesive Director’s Cut is stunningly served in a high definition set. |

Tom and Jerry’s Greatest Chases: Volume 2
After trying their luck with three “Spotlight” collection releases of the classic shorts (all three with some flaws, editing among them), and a recent Chuck Jones release for the duo, Warner has finally reverted back to the original release format – Greatest Chases, first used in their 2000 release Tom and Jerry’s Greatest Chases. |
|
Peanuts: 1960’s Collection
All six classic specials come in a nifty little package. Putting them accross two discs is a bit of a joke, but the contents are still golden. Great Vince Guaraldi profile, too! |
|

Chuck Jones’ continuation of the cat and mouse’s antics make for quite contemporary viewing and, while they won’t replace the traditional classics, remain a decent series in their own right. |
 |
