Rent It The Movie: The first feature film directed by Joe Dante in some time, 2009’s The Hole makes a slightly late debut on Blu-ray, but better late than never. If this isn’t his best movie, and few would argue that it is, it’s still a good time at the movies, a nice mix of the type of fantasy and light horror that have made a lot of Dante’s earlier pictures so much fun – but it doesn’t offer …

If you have yet to decide if purchasing Star Trek: The Next Generation Season One on Blu-ray is worth the expense, let me calmly tell you, You need to purchase it. NOW!
Highly Recommended THE FILM: Please Note: The images used here are taken from promotional materials and a prior review of the Blu-ray by DVD Savant , not the Blu-ray disc under review. More gripping, succinct, and troubling than almost any picture made in the Hollywood studios’ golden age, Fred Zinnemann’s 1952 Western High Noon is a starker, more thoughtful example of the genre than many of its …
Rent It The Movie: Having just seen The American President recently on Blu-ray, it did make me remember that it has been awhile since I had seen the Presidential comedy Dave . I am not entirely sure why I have skipped this over the years, maybe it was the concept behind the story or the story itself
