Video: Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: English: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1 Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Stars:Lauren Cohan Rupert Evans James Russell Jim Norton (1968) Diana Hardcastle Ben Robson Plot:The Boy is a frightening thrill ride directed by William Bell (The Devil Inside) and starring Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead). Greta (Cohan) is a young American woman who takes a job as a nanny in a remote English village. She soon discovers that the family's 8-year-old is a life-sized doll that they care for just like a real boy, as a way to cope with the death of their own 20 years prior. After violating a list of strict rules, a series of disturbing and inexplicable events bring Greta's worst nightmare to life, leading her to believe that the doll is actually alive. Extras:Scene Access Digital Copy My Thoughts: Well, that was kinda interesting. Heard alot of mixed reviews about this one, and i really enjoyed the thrailer too. The movie had a interesting story about a creepy doll. And as the movie goes along we get to know more about the doll and the story about it and the family who lives there. Had some good moments here and there (i dont like dolls at all) so i think that made it a bit better. But, they could have done a bit more with the movie IMHO, the pace was a bit too slow trough-out, could have been a bit more scare moments. But anyways, it wasnt the best flick i've seen, but not the worst either. A decent one, check it out for a cheap penny. My Rating: 4/6 |

Taking her first vacation in years, she becomes embroiled in a web of computer espionage Extras:Featurettes My Thoughts: Well, that was bringing fun memories back! From when Windows 95 ruled the world, and Doom was the only game out there. And floppydisk was the only thing, no cdrooms or anything. So that was fun, going back memorylane. But other than that (for me) the movie was actually a good one. Not a movie for everyone tho. Its a cool movie with a interesting story with a young Sandra Bullock as the lead. Me being a fan of her, i really enjoyed it. If you are a Sandra Bullock fan check it out, if not.. Check out the thrailer first. My Rating: 5/6 |

The Witch is a chilling portrait of a family unravelling within their own fears and anxieties, leaving them prey to an inescapable evil. Extras:Digital Copy My Thoughts: Ever since i saw the thrailer for this one i knew i had to have it. And i finally got around to watch it. And the movie actually delivers (for me that is) big time. The movie have a small cast, with a "typical witch" story. But the cast works well together, and they made the most out of what they had to work with. The movie had some great moments trough-out. And i have to say - yes it is a horror flick. I've seen people been wondering if it is actually a horrorflick or not. And i would have to say yes it is! Just a great flick, recommanded to check it out. My Rating: 5/6 |

Maxwell Writer: Stuart Krieger (Writer), Erich Kästner [Eric Kästner] (Original Material By) Rating: NR Length: 81 Min. Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, English: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround Subtitles: Stars:Hayley Mills as Sharon Ferris/Susan Tom Skerritt as Bill Grand Carrie Kei Heim as Nikki Ferris Bridgette Andersen as Mary Grand Alex Harvey as Brian Gloria Cromwell as Florence Plot:First time on DVD! In the full-length sequel The Parent Trap II, Hayley Mills returns to reprise her roles as identical twins Sharon and Susan. Now all grown up, Sharon is a single mom whose 11-year-old daughter Nikki is just as mischievous as she was! During summer school Nikki and her new friend Mary turn into scheming matchmakers when they try to get Sharon and Mary's widowed father together. Not quite able to make it happen, they turn to the one person who can really help — Sharon's twin Susan! Extras:Scene Access Bonus Trailers Closed Captioned My Thoughts: Going by the plot for this one I will admit I was a bit concerned. But I have to say... I enjoyed every minute of it! I really enjoyed the story... and it had several laugh out loud moments for me. I was glad to see this one being Sharon and Susan grown up and getting involved with switching instead of them trying to do the same (or similar) thing with their kids this time. I also liked that they were able to get the same actress to play Sharon and Susan. I also liked that Tom Skerritt is in this movie. I have slowly become a fan of his over the last few years. It is a pleasant surprise that I liked this one almost... if not as much as the first part. My Rating:

Video: Widescreen 1.85:1 Audio: English: PCM: Mono, Commentary: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: English Stars:Neville Brand Mel Ferrer Carolyn Jones (1930) Marilyn Burns William Finley Stuart Whitman Plot:Nearly a decade before he donned Freddy Krueger's famous red and green sweater, horror icon Robert Englund delivered a supremely sleazy performance in Eaten Alive – another essay in taut Southern terror from Tobe Hooper, director of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Deep in the Louisiana bayou sits the ramshackle Starlight Hotel, destination of choice for those who like to check in but not check out! Bumbling Judd, the patron of this particular establishment, may seem like a good-natured ol' Southern gent – but he has a mean temper on him, and a mighty large scythe to boot... Oozing atmosphere from its every pore (the entire film was shot on a sound-stage which lends it a queasy, claustrophobic feel), Eaten Alive matches The Texas Chain Saw Massacre for sheer insanity – helped in no small part by some marvellous histrionics from Chain Saw star Marilyn Burns and William Finley (Phantom of the Paradise). Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Deleted Scenes Featurettes Gallery Interviews Outtakes/Bloopers Reversible Sleeve, Booklet, Introduction by Hooper, Radio Spots My Thoughts: Havent seen it before, but heard great things tho. So i finally got around to watch it. And the movie isnt that bad actually. Great and twisted story, lot "of dark" moments. Some "wtf" moments here and there. The movie kept me in trough-out. And i have to say that this blurayset delivers great both picture and sound. And there is some great extras too. Recommanded. My Rating: 4.5/6 |

Video: Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: English: DTS-HD Master Audio: 7.1, Audio Descriptive: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: English, Hindi, Polish Stars:Denzel Washington Marton Csokas Chloë Grace Moretz David Harbour Haley Bennett Bill Pullman Plot:McCall (Denzel Washington) has put his mysterious past behind him and is dedicated to living a new, quiet life. But when he meets Teri (Chloe Grace Moretz), a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can't stand idly by. Armed with hidden skills that allow him to serve vengeance against anyone who would brutalize the helpless, McCall comes out of his self-imposed retirement and finds his desire for justice reawakened. If someone has a problem, if the odds are stacked against them, if they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer. Extras:Scene Access Bonus Trailers Featurettes Gallery Digital Copy Vengeance Mode My Thoughts: Well, that wasnt as i expected at all really. But anyways, the movie wasnt bad at all, but the story\plot wasnt what i expected it to be either. But they made it work to a point. Mr.Washington plays somekind of a "different" superhero, he got a normal job at day, but hunts criminals at night. Wich make for a good story, but the movie was a bit too slow paced (for me) to really give it a top score. There was some real cool actionscenes here and there, but there was too few of them. I like that they give us the back story and a reason "why" he does what he does. But they should have showed us a bit more of the actionscenes, it is a action\thriller flick afterall. But it had its moments, not a bad movie at all! But not a perfect one. Still recommanded tho! And this blurayset got some great extras too! My Rating: 4.5/6 |

Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Deleted Scenes Featurettes Gallery Outtakes/Bloopers Digital Copy THX 3 short films My Thoughts: I seen this one several times over the years... but it has been a very long time since I seen it. And is the first time I seen it since upgrading it to Blu-ray. The animation is done very well and where I am a big fan of Superhero movies... I felt the storyline was great too. Not to mention a good cast. Definitely one I would highly recommend for anyone who has never seen it. One that is good for the younger and older crowd alike. My Rating:

Anna Faris, Tom Cavanagh, T.J. Miller and Andrew Daly costar in this wonderful new incarnation of Hanna-Barbera's classic cartoon. Extras:Scene Access Bonus Trailers Featurettes My Thoughts: I used to watch the cartoon as a kid all the time... so this one did bring back some nostalgic memories.Sure its a rather silly film. But it is good to have such a l"leave your brain at the door" silly film in your collection for when the mood hits. Another plus here is that it has Anna Faris in it... who I have grown to like quite a bit. Not to mention Tom Cavanagh who plays Ranger Smith... who went on to currently be playing Dr. Wells in the new Flash series. I would say this one is more for the fans of the cartoon for a little nostalgia and the kiddies. My Rating:

Extras:Scene Access Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Deleted Scenes Featurettes Interactive Games BD-Live My Thoughts: I knew very little of these films before watching this today. And I can not compare this film with the book... but I must say I was pleasantly surprised after watching this one. It really does remind me of the Harry Potter franchise... except this one deals with the Greek mythos...having Gods and Demi-Gods instead of wizards. The story easily kept my attention through-out the film and I liked all the characters. And there was some recognizable faces that appear in small parts of the film such as Uma Thurman as Medusa. I seen some bad reviews of this film... sure there film is no acadamy award winner... but I recommend checking this one out. I found it to be a good pop-corn flick... just leaveyour brain at the door and enjoy. I know I am Looking forward to the next film. My Rating:

Extras:Scene Access Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Featurettes Digital Copy Tyson Motion Comic My Thoughts: While I still enjoyed the film... I found I didn't care for it as much as the first one. First of all I didn;t care for the addition of Tyson... I just couldn't warm up to the character. I just didn't feel like I cared about him much at all. I did however like where the storyline went... though disappointed it was left open for a third one... a third one we will likely never get. But over all... worth the time put in to watch it. But be sure to watch them in order... as it really is a continuing storyline much like the Harry Potter films. My Rating:

Computer hacker David Lightman (Broderick) can bypass the most advanced security systems, break the most intricate secret codes and master even the most difficult computer games. But when he unwittingly taps into the Defense Department's war computer, he initiates a confrontation of global proportions – World War III! Together with his girlfriend (Sheedy) and a wizardly computer genius (Tony Award winner John Wood), David must race against time to outwit his opponent...and prevent a nuclear Armageddon. Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Featurettes Gallery DVD-ROM Content Closed Captioned My Thoughts: This is a film I haven't watched in several years. While the computer equipment really shows the age of this film... it didn't take too much away from the storyline. I never really noticed it when I watched this film when I was younger... but David really knew how to do things that a high school student shouldn't know how to do. So with this one you really have to suspend disbelief... but I still really liked the story line. I also had a little problem with Dabney Coleman... as I never been a fan of his. There is just something about him that rubs me the wrong way. On the other hand I always liked Ally Sheedy so it was fun seeing her in one of her earlier roles again. Anyway I really liked this one... possibly more then I should. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it. My Rating:

Each new and hilarious high-rise experience leads to his eventual conquest over his fear of heights and the apprehension of the culprits behind the plot to destroy him and the asylum. Extras:Scene Access Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Featurettes My Thoughts: While I did enjoy this one... I don't think I was really in the right mood to get full enjoyment from it. I just wasn't in a silly and fun mood. I watched it in hopes of it pulling me out of a bit of a depression. Which didn't seem to work. I do like how they spoof the Hitchcock films here. Unfortunately there is many Hitchcock films I never seen so sure I didn't get all the references... but I seen enough of them to get a lot. Enough to enjoy the movie for what it is meant to be.I would say it is definitely worth the time put in to watch it. And think I would probably enjoy it even more when in the right mood to watch it.

Armed with a fat suit and hidden camera, Aly enrolls at a rival high school and attempts to prove that personality can outshine physical appearance. But her confidence is quickly shattered when she is teased, mocked and harrassed—a harrowing experience that forces her to recognize how intolerant she has been of her own family's weight issues. Extras:Scene Access Closed Captioned My Thoughts: I originally added this one to my collection because I am a fan of Kaley Cuoco. This is a TV movie that originally aired on Lifetime. And is one I really did enjoy a lot. It does have a good message it is trying to get across though I think by the end they lost that message a little. And I think the handling should have ended differently. I never had to deal with being fat in school... I was skinny as a rail... couldn't gain a pound no matter how much I ate. Though I have been fighting obesity as an adult. So I do know how some of this feels. Even though the film seems to loose focus, I still enjoyed it quite a lot... and can see myself watching this one again. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it. My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5
