Top 5 Blu-Ray DVDs to Buy

Here is a current list of top Blu-Ray DVDs to Buy.

1. Transformers:
Nothing speaks more Hi-Def then Michael Bay’s robot warriors going at it. Not only does the CGI and visuals come out crisp and clean, the Blu-Ray comes with a 2nd DVD that is packed with great behind the scenes footage and segments.

2. Beowulf:
Angela Jolie. Naked. In CGI. That enough has made the Robert Zemeckis’ CGI re-telling of the myth a big seller on the Blu-Ray listings. But looking besides that point, the movie, like most CGI films, look great on Blu-Ray and Robert Zemeckis happens to be an actually great storyteller (um, Forest Gump anyone? The movie that got him the Oscar for best director?). So buy this great movie, pop it in, and be dazzled by the details Blu-Ray captures. Or, and yes, it comes in an ‘unrated’ version only….whatever that means.

3. Black Hawk Down:
Ridley Scott’s adaption of the book based on the failed mission in Somali, to capture the Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid. This also depicts the Battle of Mogadishu, the raid integral to the United States’ effort to capture Aidid. Starring an all-star cast including Josh Hartnett, Eric Bana, Ewan McGregor and Tom Sizemore, the movie is a symphony for the eyes and ears, as you feel so much part of the action. This Blu-Ray really brings in the visceral environment Ridley wanted for his audience.

4. Sin City:
A great fun, action packed movie for all you Frank Miller fans, but its also a great flix to see on Blu-Ray due to the wonderful real actors/CGI/green-screen effects that director Robert Rodriguez put together, with a little help from his friends Frank and Quentin.

5. Collateral:
Ok, maybe you’re not a Tom Cruise fan, but this instant classic is a great piece of filming from Michael Mann, who directed everything with HD cameras. This allows the picture on the Blu-Ray to be outstanding – crisp, clear and details even in the darkness. Yes, Mann did the same with Miami Vice and Public Enemy, but we liked the storyline in this movie better – sans Tom Cruise of course.

YouTube Classics

Here are our fave youtube videos, the ones that never get old. These hardly need an introduction.

  1. And the whistles go Wooo Woooo
    The headline is “noisy cars” amazing.
  2. Leprechaun in mobile Alabama
    Proof that the media is willing to bravely report on tree climbing leprechauns
  3. The zombie kid likes turtles
    Funny, we always thought zombies liked people
  4. Grape lady falls
    This lady from Fox news is pretty pissy to begin with, then she gets into stomping the grapes, then she tries to cheat, then falls out of her grape bucket, then she moans like really strangely
  5. Requisite Cat Video
    The cat videos abound, here is one that claims to be an authority
  6. Chocolate Rain
    This might have been an honest attempt at making music, we sure hope not
  7. Miss South Carolina
    Watch as this coherent, beautiful young lady confirms all of our suspicions about contestants in beauty pageants
  8. Star Wars Kid
    This works on so many levels, of course this kid is obsessed with Star Wars, but swinging around a golf ball retriever (yea that is what that is) is almost too much really. We are so not worthy Star Wars kid
  9. Panda Sneeze
    Adorable
  10. Charlie Bit Me
    Even my mom has seen this one

Best Celeb Performance Failures

F Grade


What is it about seeing a super star fall flat on their famous butt? Maybe the reason we can’t look away from these performances that went wrong is because when celebs fall it is from so high up.

  1. J-Lo at Amas
    J-Lo stars in a series of unfortunate judgment calls. Let’s all for a minute forget she is 40 and singing about Loubotins — who thought this human stair case was a good idea? And really, did nobody realize the dancers would be sweaty…bravo.
  2. Beyonce falling down a flight of stairs
    Beyonce prooves that head banging is not for everyone nor flights of stairs apparently. Still kind of awesome how she gets right up and keeps spasmodically flipping that weave/wig thing.
  3. Ashlee Simpson gives a lemon at the Orange Bowl
    I mean the song says it all “you make me wanna scream”. If you watch from 2:38-2:48 you just have to feel bad for her.
  4. Miss South Carolina makes a name for herself
    Who says no one listens to a beauty queen? Miss South Carolina gained instant fame when her attempt to answer a question about education made a real life example of how school systems fail. For those of you that have seen this a thousand times the above video has subtitles.
  5. Bret Michaels loses his head
    At the Tony Awards, Bret Michaels receives a near coup de grace. The smug has-been can’t seem to take a hint even when it nearly takes his head off — dude it’s curtains for you.

Celebs — Bad Bromance

Isn't it bromantic?

Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr.

We’ve all seen it, the co-dependent male celeb relationship or as the press likes to call it Bromance. But sometimes, celeb couples get a little to close for comfort and then we get caught in Bad Bromance — here are our top five

  1. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck
    The boys that do everything together including work on their acting chops. Nobody is mad at you guys for Good Will Hunting but seriously, you seem to be getting a bit too cuddley, maybe take a quick break.
  2. Tobey Maguire Leonardo Dicaprio
    Here are Leo and Tobey in their official B’nai (co-Bar) Mitzvah video. Bonus points if you can spot – Leo wearing a Leonardo Davinci shirt, the dude from scrubs and Tobey Maguire looking like he desperately needs a razor.
  3. Sherlock Holmes and Watson are the bromance that started it all. This dynamic crime fighting duo used their combined powers to creatively solve crime and entertain generations. Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. were channeling their roles at the premiere of their movie, apparently they couldn’t keep their hands off each other.
  4. Jason Segal and Paul Rudd satire the idea of Bromance in their movie I Love you Man but we all know the truth, that secretly they were feeling these roles.
  5. Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick — their burgeoning bromance has the paparrzzi all aflutter. So cute together now but we are pretty sure that sometime soon we will get enough of these two pretty boys.
