Captain Phillips a Film About Courage and Heroism (Film Review)

 

Gripping, disturbing and suspenseful the movie Captain Phillips depicts a story from the headlines that have captivated Americans with concern.  The well crafted, strongly detailed and stunningly acted true story will have you on the edge of your seat.  I found myself mesmerized by the astounding facts behind the takeover of a huge container craft by four Somali Pirates. If you want the best effect of the film, do not look up the true event before going to see this Oscar worthy film.

Robot Chicken Season 6 (Blu-ray Review)

Robot Chicken -Season 6

Robot Chicken -Season 6

As a dad, I love infusing my kids with pop-culture, especially people, places, things and events of my day, my youth…because…well it was cool. So of course besides letting my kids occasionally play with some of my vintage collectible toys and action figure figures, I expose them to classic television shows I grew up on as a kid. Now all this is well and fine and natural…what’s not sane for any father to do is to let your kids (6 and under) watch the hilarious Emmy® Award-Winning Stop-Motion Parodies from the New Adult Swim Blu-ray™ and DVD of Robot Chicken Season 6. This is where I made my mistake. Thinking what could it hurt…I opened up a Pandora’s box of chaos in my house.

For Adults…I can’t tell you enough how essential this video is to making you laugh and connecting your toys and nostalgia together for hours of entertainment. Just getting your children unhooked from it will be the challenge. Click ahead for my review and be sure to add to your collection the latest installment of the Animated Series that lampoons Pop Culture Icons! Now on Blu-ray and DVD in Bonus Feature-Heavy Home Video Release!

Chucky BOXART

Chucky’s a Chiller (Video Review)

 

Putting another stunner on the home screen, Curse of Chucky gets released on Blu-ray/DVD + Digital combo pack just in time for the horror season.  Packed with the kind of biting power needed to provide chills and thrills, the sixth of the Child’s Play films changes it up a bit giving viewers a blast to the past.  Could this 25th anniversary of the beginning be the last of the Chucky doll rampages? I think not.
