The Original Christmas Classics Anniversary Collector’s Edition (Blu-ray)

Frankly, I think the title for this collection is a bit on the ridiculous side. Then again, this is the second time this collection has been released on Blu-ray (not to mention the previous DVD releases) so there needed to be some differentiation. I just wish it weren’t in such a cumbersome manner. Getting past…

Sword Coast Legends (PC)

I am struggling with exactly the right tone to strike for this review. On one hand Sword Coast Legends is an incredibly fun game to play. That is perhaps the most important factor. On the other hand, and this bothers me greatly, Sword Coast Legends is not as true to the Dungeons & Dragons rules…

Justice League Unlimited: The Complete Series (Blu-ray)

“Justice League Unlimited” is a continuation of the “Justice League” series that followed the (rightfully) acclaimed DC animated universe titles featuring Batman, Superman and others. Over the course of 39 episodes we get an expanded roster of heroes entering a series of adventures that saw things get… well, the task was to overturn the apple…

Toy Story That Time Forgot (Blu-ray)

Once again the gang faces the familiar conundrum of dealing with toys who forgot they are toys. This time it is a bunch of dinosaurs. While not as fresh in concept there is still plenty of enjoyment to be had here for kids and their parents. The Toy Story franchise is solid, placing these characters…

Automan: The Complete Series (DVD)

Many a series has debuted only to find an audience lacking. With low ratings far too often a series would get canceled before being allowed time to develop and find an audience. Other times a series would just be too expensive to continue being produced. This is the case with the original “Battlestar Galactica” (which…

Manimal: The Complete Series (DVD)

Oh man, that’s Dale Arden!! Alright, so that’s probably not the first reaction Shout Factory wants viewers to have when watching their DVD offering of “Manimal” but I was surprised to see Melody Anderson from the 1980 Flash Gordon film and remake that connection after all these years. Here she stars as Detective McKenzie, a…

Inside Out (Blu-ray)

Pixar has a fabulous track record and this is just another great entry in a long run of hits. What does that mean? It means you can expect a few tears, plenty of character development, solid animation, and a great story. Inside Out is simply a great film, regardless of the style, in this case…

Minecraft: Story Mode – Episode 1 (PS4)

Well, this was unexpected. Three of my kids finished the episode in an afternoon. Fortunately Telltale Games offers four different save slots for the game, which is good because we have in my house four different players who are going to play Minecraft: Story Mode, myself and three of my kids. If you remember, these…

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls 3 Movie Gift Set (DVD)

I have already looked at these movies individually. The question is whether or not you have all of them. If not, do you need this? The short answer is – yes. My Little Pony has become a great franchise with this offshoot starting out as a weird idea and finding a life of its own….
