Video: Widescreen 1.85:1 Audio: English: DTS-HD Master Audio: Mono, Spanish: Dolby Digital: Mono, French: Dolby Digital: Mono Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Stars:Michael J. Fox as Scott Howard James Hampton as Harold Howard Susan Ursitti as Boof Jerry Levine as Stiles Matt Adler as Lewis Lorie Griffin as Pamela Plot:What's a high school kid got to do to be popular? Just let down his hair and howl! Starring Michael J. Fox (Back to the Future), Teen Wolf is an outrageous comedy about a shy teenager with more than a changing voice to contend with...he's a budding young werewolf! And when his newfound powers help him score at basketball — and with the popular girls — he has some pretty hairy decisions to make. Extras:Scene Access Feature Trailers Sneak Peek at "Teen Wolf" TV Series My Thoughts: OK... lets face it... Teen Wolf is far from award winning entertainment. But what it is... is good cheesy fun. Something to watch when you just want to sit back and enjoy. It is a real twist on the coming of age story. I think the whole werewolf idea is why I enjoy it so much... I definitely enjoy the monster movies... whether you can classify them as horror or not. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5

And it was nice to see Tom Cruise in something different. And let me just say that Emily Blunt did pretty good in this one too. And she looked hot as always. Its recommanded. My Rating: 5/6 |

Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Slettede scener Dokumentar Interviews Outtakes/Bloopers My Thoughts: Well, i was in the mood for some silly and stupid action before work yesterday. So i decided to check this out again, since i havent watched it since it came out in 2010. And it is a great action movie. Its a movie where you dont have to think much or pay close attention to whats going on. It is just alot of fighting, shooting, killings and ofc some explotions trough out. And that makes for some good entertainment for me. If you are in the mood for some silly action, this is it. My Rating: 5/6 |

But when federal agent Tobin Keller (Penn) investigates her claim and digs deeper into Silvia's dangerous past, he begins to question whether she is a victim - or a suspect. A riveting, edge-of-your-seat story of international intrigue from Oscar-winning director Sydney Pollack. Extras:Scenevalg Feature Trailers My Thoughts: Well, i have been wanted to see this one for a long time now. And i finally got around to checking out. And going in to this one i guess i had somewhat high expactations for it. But for me the movie delivered. I'm not sure if i will call this a spy thriller. But something in between i think. You get the 'spy' feel. A real intense and suspencefull thriller. They make you guess what will happen next, and who did what. I really enjoyed this one. My Rating: 5/6 |

Rentilly of MensHealth.com calls "a high-octane adventure with non-stop action!" The team signs on for a mission that looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But things quickly go wrong, and one of their own is killed by a psychotic terrorist-for-hire. Hell-bent on payback, they cut a swath of destruction through enemy territory and wreak havoc upon their opponents. In the midst of the mayhem, they must also shut down an unexpected threat in the nick of time — preventing five tons of weapons-grade plutonium from falling into the wrong hands. Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Bonus Trailers Slettede scener Dokumentar Outtakes/Bloopers Digital Copy My Thoughts: Well, i had to rewatch the 2nd movie since i just watched the first one again. And once again the big names reunite, and this time they have even added a few more big names to the movie. And again there are some great scenes here and there. Its actually a good follow up to the first one. But still a silly actionflick (in a good way ofc) if you want to watch a movie without too much thinking or anything check it out. My Rating: 4.5/6 |

Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Slettede scener Dokumentar Production Notes BD-Live My Thoughts: I was in the mood for a spy movie. And i've had this one in my unwatched pile for ever, so i decided to finally check it out. And it was a very different movie then i expected really. It had it moments here and there, but the movie was a slow and nothing much really happened for me. Its not the worst movie i've seen, but not the best either. My Rating: 3/6 |

Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Dokumentar Gallery Interviews Radio Spots My Thoughts: Well, i've wanted to check out this Bond movie for a while. I dont remember if i've seen it before or not. Thats one of the reasons i wanted to see it. And i'm not saying Roger Moore is a bad James Bond, not at all. But not the best either. And this movie wasnt the best Bond movie i've seen either. The case or story didnt give me the real "Bond feeling" but it was still an ok movie tho. I guess i'm picky when it comes to James Bond..

Video: Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: Engelsk: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1, Spansk: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Fransk: DTS: 5.1 Subtitles: Engelsk, Spansk Stars:Daniel Craig Eva Green Mads Mikkelsen Judi Dench Jeffrey Wright Giancarlo Giannini Plot:CASINO ROYALE introduces JAMES BOND (Daniel Craig) before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to "00" status. "M" (Judi Dench), head of the British Secret Service, sends the newly promoted 007 on his first mission that takes him to Madagascar, the Bahamas and eventually leads him to Montenegro to face Le Chiffre, a ruthless terrorist financier, in a high stakes poker game at the Casino Royale. "M" places Bond under the watchful eye of the Treasury official Vesper Lynd (Eva Green). At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre. The marathon poker game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax. Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Slettede scener Dokumentar Musikkvideo(er) My Thoughts: After watching 'The Spy Who Loved Me' i was in the mood for some more Bond, and i have wanted to see Casino Royal for a while now. Havent seen it since it came out i think. Atleast a few years since i saw it. And it is maby the best (behind Skyfall) "newer" Bond movies. In this you really got back that "oldschool" feeling from when Sean Connery was James Bond. And the bluray was amazing. Picture and sound was amazing aswell. For me it was perfect. I forgot how good it actually was! And ofc a ton with cool extras. My Rating: 6/6 |

When Bond uncovers a conspiracy to take control of one of the world's most important natural resources, he must navigate minefield of treachery, deception and murder to neutralise Quantum before it's too late! Extras:Scenevalg Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Dokumentar Musikkvideo(er) My Thoughts: Ofcourse i had to continue. And i dont know what to think about this one really. For me this was more of a sequel of Casino Royale. For me this was more of a action movie than a James Bond movie. Not a bad movie, but not a great James Bond movie either. But i guess i expect just a bit more when it comes to James Bond. Now i'm looking forward to check out 'Skyfall' when i got some extra time. I think Daniel Craig is doing a good job as James Bond so far. My Rating: 4/6 |

His busy parents forgot to buy his present, his talented brothers outshine him, the neighboring bullies target him for snowball practice, and his grandfather fights with his dad.

Stuck repeating the day over and over, Pete panics at first, but slowly realizes that he can take advantage of this mysterious gift and enjoy the ultimate family Christmas. Extras:Scene Access Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Digital Copy My Thoughts: For some reason going into this one I really wasn't expecting too much. I guess because I never heard of it... and first time I ever notice it I find it in a discount pile... only $5 for the blu-ray/dvd combo pack. After watching it I find I enjoyed it. Definitely seen better but it is good enough that I can see myself watching it every year around this time. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5

Extras:Scene Access Deleted Scenes Featurettes Outtakes/Bloopers BD-Live Digital Copy My Thoughts: Before the movie I watched the trailer. And to be honest didn't know what to think... could have been good... could have been bad. So I went into it a little hesitant. While I found it to be entertaining... it was no more then an average film. There is so many better Christmas films out there that I would recommend seeing before this one. While I feel Reese Witherspoon did a fine job... I didn't feel quite the same way with Vince Vaughn as his seemed overly stiff and forced. Even for the character that he was playing. I really did like the premise of the film... just that the outcome should have been better. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5

D. Robb as Schwartz Plot:The Christmas spirit isn't served up with more heartfelt warmth or observant hilarity than in this beloved adaptation of Jean Shepherd's holiday story. In 1940s Indiana, nine year old Ralphie (Peter Billingsly) dreams of his ideal Christmas gift: a genuine Red Ryder 200-shot Carbine Action Air Rifle. But when gruff dad (Darren McGavin) and doting mom (Melinda Dillon) regularly respond with "You'll shoot your eye out!" Ralphie mounts a full-scale, hint-dropping, Santa-begging campaign. He also endures a slew of calamities from snowsuit paralysis to the yellow-eyed Scotty Farkus affair to the dreaded tongue-on-a-frozen-flagpole gambit. We triple-dog-dare you to unwrap a more welcome Yuletide classic! Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Featurettes Production Notes My Thoughts: This one is a fun movie... I definitely enjoyed it. The film has some decent laughs in it. OMG... that terrible gift from his aunt... the bunny pajamas... and the fact that his mother liked it so much was scary as well. I do think the story was over exaggerated... but I believe that was on purpose. After all it was supposed to be a guy telling the story about a childhood Christmas. This movie is a must see during the holidays. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5

On the way, the two find song, dance, and the true spirit of Christmas. And they just might meet a mythical figure back from the dead: the one, the only...Neil Patrick Harris. Extras:Scene Access Bonus Trailers Deleted Scenes Digital Copy My Thoughts: This is not normally my type of comedy... but I enjoyed it more then I thought I would. Some good comedy... some of the comedy I found to be a little over the top and tasteless. And I probably would have enjoyed this one a little more if I watched the first 2 movies beore this one. But over-all I would say worth the time put in to watch it. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5
