DVD Talk Collector Series Content: I was primarily an anime fan back in the mid 90's to the early 2000's, watching titles like Cowboy Bebop, Dragon Ball Z, The Big O and Trigun .
Recommended The Film: As some modern movie adaptations of popular young-adult books elevate expectations of what they're capable of, there are a slate of recent others — from The Mortal Instruments to The Host and Percy Jackson — that serve as a reminder of the turbulence still plaguing the subgenre. Despite Hollywood's progress in the halls of Hogwarts and the districts of Panem, there's …
Highly Recommended THE FILM: Click an image to view Blu-ray screenshot with 1080p resolution. One of only a small handful of good werewolf horror films, Ginger Snaps upends tradition with its two strong female leads and atypical character interactions

Highly Recommended It's hardly just another movie. Parts like the leading role of Audra come around once in a lifetime, and that's if you're lucky.
