On DVD: Transformers The Complete First Season
Starring Frank Welker, Peter Cullen, Chris Latta, Dan Gilvezan
Directed by Peter Wallach
Getting to take a trip back in time to this classic bit of pop culture was good and bad. Some things don’t stand up well to the test of time and some things do. Seeing how this show would hold up on its 25th [...]

With Bruce gone and Dick busy in the new Batman and Robin story, it’s time for the girls to come out and play with a double feature. The headlining story starts Batwoman, while Renee Montoya takes the back-up tale. Both stories are each [...]
On Blu-Ray: Friday the 13th Part III 3-D
Starring: Richard Booker, Dana Kimmell, Jeffrey Rogers, Tracie Savage
Directed By Steve Minor
Jason Voorhees always seems like such a tragic character to me. Okay, hear me out. He can’t help who he is in a lot of ways. He was born with “challenges”, neglected at a summer camp and has a mother with issues and now [...]

On Film: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Starring Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox
Directed by Michael Bay
I was a fan of the original Transformers television series. I wasn’t a rabid fan though. So when the first film was announced, I was curious but not as over the moon as some of my friends. That first film was bloated, horribly written, and plotless. On top [...]
On Blu-Ray: Defiance
Starring: Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber
Directed By Edward Zwick
There have been many World War II films over the last several years. On top of that, if you’re a videogame player, the World War II era has been highly overused as well. I believe there are unending stories to be told from that war but at the [...]

This is eighth issue and counting until Brian K. Vaughn ends his drama about Mitchell Hundred’s term as mayor of New York City, struggling with all the problems that entails in addition to his little ability to talk to machines.
The Story

On Blu Ray: Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy
Directed by Greg Colton
Featuring voicework by Alex Borstein, Seth Green, Seth MacFarlane, John Viener
The name Seth MacFarlane either makes you want to check this out immediately or makes you run for the hills. Some of us find Family Guy funny and others simply do not in any way. Personally, I like it so this brightened [...]

On Blu-Ray: Lost The Complete First Season
Created by J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, Carlton Cuse
Starring Mathew Fox, Evangeline Lilly
I was a huge fan of J.J. Abrams after watching Alias. Abrams tends to get things started, get a little bored, and moves on to other projects. His move on to another show was destructive to Alias with the last two seasons falling far [...]
