The Smurfs and Kung-Fu Panda 2 on Blu-Ray and DVD

I had the opportunity to watch The Smurfs and Kung-Fu Panda 2 over the weekend.

Even though The Smurfs was made to appeal to a younger audience, I find that older viewers may still be somewhat captivated by the animation. This movie does a great job of mixing the animated characters with the human characters. Hank Azaria also does a fantastic job of playing Gargamel; very funny.

Kung-Fu Panda 2 was also a movie tailored towards a younger audience, but unlike The Smurfs, I found both the story and the animation to be quite captivating. The graphics are awesome -- period. The plot was also exotic, which made the movie interesting.

The Smurfs and Kung-Fu Panda 2 are both available at Redbox, Amazon, and Blockbuster.

Vampires in Vegas: Fright Night (2011) on Blu-Ray and DVD

Fright Night (2011) was released on Blu-ray and DVD on December 13. Even though, this movie is a remake of the the original Fright Night film that came out in 1985, you should not let that discourage you from seeing it. The movie was awesome! Colin Farrell did a good job of being creepy; so did Christopher Mintz-Plasse (very convincing). Anton Yelchin, who you may recognize from other movies such as Charlie Bartlett, Terminator Salvation, or The Beaver, also did a good job with his character. The plot moves along seamlessly from beginning to end as there is no mystery to who the antagonist is. The special effects and make-up are also done well. I cannot believe Dreamworks didn't release this movie closer to Halloween and try to set records at the box office.

Fright Night is available at Redbox, Blockbuster, and Amazon.

Sweet Smell, Hard Sell

I came across this story about a company who is working on an ingested perfume/fragrance. Their name is Swallowable Parfume.

I'm curious about how well this product will do. When I think about someone trying to sell me ingested perfume the only thing that comes to mind is this: Landry Bender sprays Jonah Hill in the mouth with perfume @ 0:55 (she hates him). However LOL is what comes to mind when I think about Jonah Hill. What comes to your mind?

The Sitter will be released into U.S. theaters on Dec. 9, 2011.

Bomb-Ass Pizza: Part 2

Get your high fives ready for Danny Mc Bride because he's the man... kind of. If this was not a comedy Danny Mc Bride would be one sinister dude. In my opinion 30 Minutes or Less did not disappoint. Aside from a little raunchiness (actually, a lot of raunchiness) this movie was fun to watch. Note: Like some of the other blockbusters released this summer 30 Minutes or Less also has a prolonged ending after the credits roll. Make sure you don't miss it.
