Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.40:1, Pan & Scan 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround, Spanish: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround, Commentary: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Stars:Cole as The Shaggy Dog Tim Allen as Dave Douglas Kristin Davis as Rebecca Douglas Zena Grey as Carly Douglas Plot:Comedian Tim Allen unleashes all the outrageous fun in this doggone hilarious update of Disney's comedy classic! The adventures begin when workaholic Dave Douglas (Allen) is accidentally transformed into a lovable dog. Now as Dave digs to uncover the mystery, this overworked dad wants nothing more than to stop fetching...and get back to fathering. But before he does, he's about to discover that being man's best friend gives him a curious insight into what it takes to be a great dad! The tail-wagging fun continues with bonus features to howl about including bone-tickling bloopers, deleted scenes, and a special bark-along bone-us feature dogs will love! Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Bonus Trailers Deleted Scenes Featurettes Outtakes/Bloopers Closed Captioned Bark-Along My Thoughts: I went ahead and watched this one last night. I originally seen this one when it was first released... but all I really remembered about it is that I enjoyed it at the time. And I still enjoyed it... it is a fun film even if it can get a little on the silly side at times. Unfortunately I never got to see the original films... so can't do any comparisons. But I found this to be a fun way to waste an hour and a half. It's well worth checking out. My Rating:

Video: Widescreen 1.78:1 Audio: English: DTS-HD Master Audio: 7.1, English: Dolby Digital: Mono, French: Dolby Digital: Mono, German: Dolby Digital: Mono, Italian: Dolby Digital: Mono, Commentary: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo, Commentary: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Spanish, Commentary, Trivia Stars:John Saxon as Lt. Thompson Ronee Blakley as Marge Thompson Heather Langenkamp as Nancy Thompson Amanda Wyss as Tina Gray Jsu Garcia [Nick Corri] as Rod Lane Johnny Depp as Glen Lantz Plot:From modern horror master Wes Craven (Scream, Scream 2) comes a timeless shocker that remains the standard bearer for terror. Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) is having grisly nightmares. Something monstrous wants to kill her. Meanwhile, her high-school friends, who are having the very same dream, are being slaughtered in their sleep by the hideous fiend of their shared nightmare. When the police ignore her explanation, she herself must confront the killer in his shadowy realm. Featuring John Saxon (Enter The Dragon) and Johnny Depp in his first starring role and mind-bending special effects, this horror classic gave birth to one of the most infamous undead villains in cinematic history. Reportedly naming Freddy Krueger after a kid who had bullied him in school, writer-director Craven hatches a shock-fest from hell that "goes straight to the heart of terror" (Seattle Times). Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Deleted Scenes Featurettes My Thoughts: After being given this blu-ray set last night... I felt I just had to watch this, one of my favorites of the '80s horror films. This is the film that started it all. The one where Freddy is actually scary instead of the comedian he becomes in the later films. Don't get me wrong... I really enjoy all the films in the franchise... but this one is easily the best. Robert Englund was fantastic in this one. As was Heather Langenkamp. And of course this is the film Johnny Depp got his start in. At this point I would imagine all horror fans have seen this by now.... but if you haven't... it is a must see... highly recommended! The blu-ray has a nice selection of extras. Multiple commentary tracks... multiple featurettes... multiple alternate endings. Plenty on the disc to keep you busy for quite a while after the film itself. My Rating:

Video: Widescreen 2.35:1 Audio: Norsk: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1, Norsk: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: Norsk Stars:Pål Sverre Hagen Nicolai Cleve Broch Sofia Helin Plot:When the archaeologist Sigurd can't settle on the myth about Ragnarok, the end of the world in Northern mythology, he decides to go on an expedition together with two colleges and his two kids. This adventure leads them to Finnmark in the Northern most part of Norway, and into "No mans land" between Russia and Norway, where no one has been in modern times. Old runes gets new meanings, when they unveil the truth. A truth bigger and more spectacular than you would have dreamed Extras:Trailer Interviews My Thoughts: After been away and too busy the last couple of weeks, i finally got some time to watch a movie. And after all the hype this movie got in the Norwegian media, "The Norwegian National Treasure" etc. And with the cast, i had really high expectations for it. The movie and the story about the 'Myth of Ragnarok' was actually interesting. But they failed bigtime aswell. They could have made it as the Norwegian National Treasure, but instead they made it more like a movie for children. All in all, a interesting movie with a interesting story. But nothing more then a' ok movie. They had the chance here to do something real great, but ended up with just 'ok' IMHO. My Rating: 3/6 |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Parker Year: 2013 Director: Taylor Hackford Rating: Rated R : Strong Violence, Language Throughout and Brief Sexual Content/Nudity Length: 119 Min. Video: Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: Engelsk: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1, Kommentar: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: Engelsk, Spansk, Kommentar Stars:Jason Statham (1972) Jennifer Lopez Michael Chiklis Wendell Pierce Clifton Collins, Jr. [Clifton Collins Jr.] Bobby Cannavale Plot:Parker (Jason Statham) is a professional thief who lives by a personal code of ethics: Don't steal from people who can't afford it and don't hurt people who don't deserve it. But on his latest heist, his crew double-crosses him, steals his stash, and leaves him for dead. Determined to make them regret it, Parker tracks them to Palm Beach – playground of the rich and famous – where the crew is planning their biggest heist ever. Donning the disguise of a rich Texan, Parker takes on an unlikely partner: Leslie (Jennifer Lopez), a savvy insider who's short on cash but big on looks, smarts and ambition. Together, they devise a plan to hijack the score, take everyone down and get away clean. Also starring Michael Chiklis. Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Bonus Trailers Dokumentar Digital Copy My Thoughts: Well, you know what you get with Jason Statham, its nothing different here. He being a big action dude who get in some good fightscenes, and shoot some people. With Statham you get only one kind of character, and thats what we get here aswell. A typical revenge story.. Someone took something from him, and now he's on the hunt for the people who did it. And then you get J.Lo, she doesnt do too much really in this besides being Statham's sidekick. Some good spots here and there, but a bit too slow for me, to say this is a good actionflick. An ok flick, but wouldnt pay full buck for it. My Rating: 3/6 |

Searching for a missing student, two private investigators break into his abandoned house and find a collection of mysterious VHS tapes. In viewing the horrific contents of each cassette, they realize there may be terrifying motives behind the student's disappearance. Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Dokumentar Gallery My Thoughts: Uhm, that was just weird.. I enjoyed the first V/H/S after a blind buy, when Pete wrote a review about i think it was And when i found this on a sale cheap cheap on one of the local stores i had to get it. (I see now why they sold it to me cheap) Well, the movie had something good going. But after the 30MIN mark, something happended. It just got creepy and very weird (not in a good way) they had some real good moments in the first 30 minutes or so, that reminded me of the first movie. But after that, they hit somekind of a switch, and it just got silly. And wtf was the deal with the zombies?! They just messed up with this really. I'll give them credit for the first 30. But thats it. If you enjoyed the first one, dont check this one out. My Rating: 2/6 |

But now, a new kid on Elm Street is being haunted every night by gruesome visions of the deadly dream stalker. And if his twisted soul takes possession of the boy's body, Freddy will return from the dead to wreak bloody murder and mayhem upon the entire town. When A Nightmare on Elm Street made a killing, horror fans shrieked for more. Soon the diabolic Freddy was resurrected with a vengeance - along with some of the most terrifying special effects ever to splatter the screen. Look for Robert Englund minus his Freddy face in the opening sequence. He's a real scream! Extras:Scene Access Feature Trailers Featurettes My Thoughts: Even though I do still feel this is a decent movie... it is my least favorite of the Elm Street movies. I can't even place my finger on what it is that I don't care for... just something about this one that didn't sit well with me. Freddy Krueger is still played pretty straight in this one. Hmmmm... makes me wonder if they didn't add the comedy to him because of the ratings/reviews that this one got. My Rating:

The last of the Elm Street kids are now at a psychiatric ward where Freddy haunts their dreams with unspeakable horrors. Their only hope is dream researcher and fellow survivor Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp of the original Nightmare), who helps them battle the supernatural psycho on his own hellish turf. Starring Patricia Arquette (Ed Wood, True Romance) and Academy Award®-nominee Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix, Hoodlum) and directed by Chuck Russell (The Mask, Eraser), "Dream Warriors is both a horrific and hysterical trip!" (L.A. Herald-Examiner). Extras:Scene Access Feature Trailers Featurettes Music Videos My Thoughts: This is another of my favorite "Nightmare" movies. I love all the things the kids learned they could do in their dreams. Plus this one has one of my favorite actresses in it... Patricia Arquette. I have been a fan of hers since the first time I saw her TV Series "Medium". This movie is the start of Freddy being more comical. Which I don't mind at all... but I do think I liked how he was in the first part better. But in my honest opinion... this is a must see in the franchise. My Rating:

Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Bonus Trailers Slettede scener Dokumentar My Thoughts: So, this was kind of a blind buy. Saw it on my of the local stores, and i decided to get it, and give it a try. And the movie delivers big time imho. Going in to this one i didnt know what to expect, (didnt see any trailers or anything) But both Mr. Washington and Mr. Wahlberg worked well together, and i liked what they did with the story in this one. And we got some great moments trough out the movie. And even tho it is a actionflick, they had some real funny lines here and there aswell. All in all a great action movie that is highly recommanded for Sunday entertainment. My Rating: 5/6 |

Carroll Josephine Hutchinson Plot:Cary Grant is the screen's supreme man-on-the-run in his fourth and final teaming with Master of Suspense Alfred Hitchcock. He plays a Manhattan adman plunged into a realm of spy (James Mason) and counterspy (Eva Marie Saint) and variously abducted, framed for murder, chased, and in a signature set-piece, crop-dusted. He also hangs for dear life from the facial features of Mount Rushmore's Presidents. Savour one of Hollywood's most enjoyable thrillers ever in this State-of-the-Art Restoration: its Renewed Picture Vitality will leave you just as breathless as the chase itself. Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Dokumentar Gallery My Thoughts: Ah, Alfred Hitchcock did it again. Masterpiece. And this time he takes us on a great ride trough USA. With a innocent man framed for murder. It seems like there is a mixup. But is there mixup in this movie at all? I'm not sure. And we get some great moments trough out the movie, when we're following this great cast. I would say this is a great suspence\thriller. And i really enjoyed what they did with it. This is ofcourse highly recommanded! And this blu-ray set is amazing aswell, and filled with some great extras. My Rating: 5/6 |

Dont think i've seen it since. so didnt remember much. Let me just say one thing first and thats Ed Norton was just amazing! Brilliant. And the story was interesting too, and kept me glued to the screen trough out, and was wondering 'whats next' and right before the 2 hour mark a real cool twist happens! (Wich i didnt see coming, or remember) wich was amazing! Some cool fightscenes here and there. Some real good performances by the cast! Its just a great actionflick.

But this time, he faces a powerful new adversary! As her friends succumb one by one to Freddy's wrath, telepathically gifted Kristen embarks on a desparate mission to destroy the satanic dream stalker and release the tortured souls of his victims once and for all. Directed by Renny Harlin (The Long Kiss Goodnight, Cliffhanger) and loaded with killer effects and drop-dead humor, this is a "superior horror picture that balances wit and gore with imagination and intelligence" (Los Angeles Times). Extras:Scene Access Feature Trailers Featurettes My Thoughts: While I still enjoyed this one... it wasn't quite as good as the first or third one... but definitely better then the second. Like the rest in the series... it is well worth the time put in to watch it. I was sorry to see them replace the actress playing Kristen... thought that Patricia Arquette was better in the role. But that is just a minor complaint. My Rating:

Along with newcomers Cyborg and teen super hero Shazam, this awesome assembly of the world's finest are prepared to meet evil head-on and offer mankind its only hope, if they don't self-destruct first! Extras:Bonus Trailers Sneak Peek at Son of Batman My Thoughts: I finally got to this one this evening. I been looking forward to it since I got it in my collection a few days ago. But I knew the others in the house wanted to see it as well so waited till we were all able to watch it together. First I must say this animated movie is off the new DC 52 comics so some things are different. Most notibly some of the costumes. Superman's costume I have already gotten used to from the Man of Steel film. But it took quite a bit to get used to the way they did Wonder Woman's costume. And I still prefer the classic costume over this one. And it was also a bit strange seeing her fighting with a sword through-out the whole film. They also made some changes to the look of Cyborg. I missed Flash being the over-confident smart-mouth of the bunch. But at least they still had this fun aspect to one of the heroes... they just switched it over to Green Lantern. The storyline itself was fantastic! I loved every moment of this film! It is just some of the changes to some of the characters that bugged me a little. But if you are a fan of these animated superhero films this one is a must see! And now I am looking forward to checking out the next film coming from the DC Universe... Son of Batman. My Rating:

Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Bonus Trailers Featurettes My Thoughts: I recently got this one at the library... but didn't have the chance to watch it before it was due back. So this is my fist time watching this film. Months ago my brother recommended this movie to me... and I must say he was right. I enjoyed every moment of this movie... well at least until we got to the end of the film. Then it took an unexpected turn... one that I would have preferred not to happen. But it wasn't so bad that it ruined the film for me. Still well worth the time put in to watch it. My Rating:

Written and Directed by Ernesto Diaz Espinoza (Mandrill, Kiltro, and ABC s of Death) Extras:Scenevalg Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Dokumentar My Thoughts: Ehm, this movie i expected it to be something like 'Machete' and man was i wrong. The movie had maby one or two 'ok' moments. But other than that, they failed completely. I see what they tried to do, a hot chick in a bikini, going on a killingspree. GTA style. But the whole thing was just not good. Acting was bad, the cast didnt work well together. Well, i dont have much to say about this really exepct dont use money on it. My Rating: 2/6 |

Video: Widescreen 1.85:1 Audio: Engelsk: DTS-HD Master Audio: Mono, Fransk: DTS: Mono Subtitles: Engelsk, Spansk Stars:Milton Selzer Mariette Hartley Bruce Dern Henry Beckman S.

Her obsessive behavior continues, but when she is pushed to the edge after a terrible accident, Marnie's groom urges her to confront the past in the shattering conclusion of this psychological thriller. Extras:Scenevalg Feature Trailers Dokumentar Gallery My Thoughts: So, i've been watching some Hitchcock movies from the 'Hitchcock' blurayset lately. And this one i've never seen, so i decided to check it out since Sean Connerey was in it. And i dont think i have seen one bad Hitchcock movie yet. And this was just as great. And let me say this 'Tippi Hedren' playing this crazy thief did a great job. Great performance. And ofc, this was a mystery\suspenceful thriller. With a great mix between the suspence and thriller part. Alfred Hitchcock seems to know how to do it, just to make a movie perfect. Not to much, not to little. This a thriller that is ofc recommanded if youre in to old movies, good movies or Hitchock. Check it out. My Rating: 5/6 |
