DVD Verdict: Michael Stailey

Shrek the Musical (Blu-ray)

2013-10-15

Quote: "You could be the grumpiest cuss going in, but by the time it's over I guarantee you'll be smiling from ear-to-ear."

The Little Mermaid 3D (Blu-ray)

2013-10-07

Quote: "The Little Mermaid is a landmark achievement for Disney Feature Animation, not only rescuing an art form many risk-averse Hollywood executives felt was too costly, but catapulting the industry forward and setting a new standard for animated storytelling."

Trek Nation (Special Edition)

2013-08-18

Quote: "A valuable addition to the list of films that pull back the curtain on the entertainment industry to help understand what makes creative people tick...warts and all."

Jack the Giant Slayer (Blu-ray)

2013-06-18

Quote: "Don't judge this fairy tale by its literary lineage or blase box office word of mouth. Jack the Giant Slayer is a respectable epic adventure worthy of an evening's entertainment."

Oz The Great and Powerful (Blu-ray)

2013-06-12

Quote: "Oz The Great and Powerful is The CW version of L. Frank Baum's world, layers of style hiding very little substance."

Warm Bodies (Blu-ray)

2013-06-04

Quote: "Every once in a blue moon, a movie comes along that completely surprises you. In an era where the market has hit zombie saturation, I'm amazed that a sweet simple story in the hands of a talented young director armed with a great cast can spin cinematic gold."

Doctor Who: The Snowmen

2013-06-03

Quote: "Shame on BBC Video for making Whovians purchase this disc separately from Series 7, Part 2. There's no justifiable reason for doing so."

LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out

2013-05-31

Quote: "Watching cut scenes within the context of the game is one thing, but trying to craft a story out of jokes which have most (if not all) been seen or heard before is an exercise in futility."

Doctor Who: Series 7, Part 1

2013-05-27

Quote: "For as much as The Doctor hates endings, we close the book on Matt Smith's first and favorite companions in a manner befitting their existence. Thank you Steven Moffat for the experience."

Up 3D (Blu-ray)

2013-05-26

Quote: "The Pixar clan are still hands down the most impressive storytellers since Bill Shakespeare and the Grimm Brothers."
