On Blu-Ray: Toy Story 3, 4 Disc Combo Pack

Directed by Lee Unkrich
Starring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Ned Beatty, Don Rickles, Michael Keaton, John Morris

Toy Story 3 was sort of like the Star Wars prequels when it was first announced.  The first two films were some of the best films, not just animated films, but family films in general ever made. Would a third film be a misstep and screw up a near flawless franchise? Pixar doesn’t do much wrong, but there’s always a first time.

On Blu-Ray: Mirrors 2

Directed by Victor Garcia

“It is the city of mirrors, the city of mirages, at once solid and liquid, at once air and stone.”

Erica Jong

When Mirrors (2008), starring Kiefer Sutherland was released, it didn’t make a big impact. I am sure the film had its fans, but I don’t recall it making any critics top ten film lists for the year. So, what is the scoop on the “straight to DVD” release of Mirrors 2? …continue reading
