Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.78:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital 5.1 Subtitles: English Stars: Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman Tim Daly as Superman Xander Berkeley as Captain Atom Corey Burton as Captain Marvel Star(s) of TV Series: Other then the obvious (Stars of Superman and Batman the Animated Series)...

Only Batman and Superman stand against the new regime - and their disloyalty proves to be exactly what Luthor intended. Using their outcast status to instigate a scandal against Superman, Luthor finally tastes a victory in his vendetta against the Man of Steel. From Executive Producer Bruce Timm and voiced by the cast from both hit Batman and Superman animated TV series including Kevin Conroy, Tim Daly and Clancy Brown, this DC Universe Original Animated Movie based on Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuiness's popular graphic novel seethes with Political intrigue and action-packed battles between heroes all believing they're on the right side of the law. Extras: Bonus Trailers Featurettes Interviews 2 Bonus Cartoons, Digital Copy. My Thoughts: This one was a blind buy. Before watching it I never even seen a trailer for it. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I liked how they had so many heroes and villains from the DC Universe. Some of which I was familiar with... some I was not. I was a little concerned when I read the storyline and seen they made Lex Luthor president. But I found the story to be very entertaining. I am not sure if this one is based on a series of the comic books or not as I don't read comics... so I can't say how or if it compares. But if you like some of the other superhero animated movies out there... I would recommend this one as well. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (From Weekend Movie Marathon: TV Stars in the Movies on March 6th, 2010) The Flesh and Blood Show, a review by JimmyMOVIE / DVD INFO: ![]() Title: The Flesh and Blood Show Year: 1972 Director: Pete Walker Rating: Unrated Length: 1h36 Video: Widescreen 1.85:1 Audio: English mono Subtitles: None Stars: Ray Brooks - Mike Jenny Hanley - Julia Luan Peters - Carol Robin Askwith - Simon Candace Glendenning - Sarah Plot: A group of young actors take a job with a mysterious repertory company to improvise "The Flesh and Blood Show". Their rehearsal space is an abandoned pier where they will live and breathe the theater. But in between impromptu outbursts of acting, some of the cast turns up missing while others turn up dead. There's a maniac on the loose who's out for flesh and blood! Extras: Original Trailer Photo Gallery Pete Walker Trailers Interview with Pete Walker My Thoughts: First, I'm a fan of Pete Walker since I've seen "Die Screaming, Marianne" some years ago and "Cool It Carol!" is one of my favourite exploitation movie. Secondly, the plot description of this movie make me think of "Theatre of blood", a movie starring Vincent Price that I strongly recommand if you're a fan of mr. Price. So it looks like a winner for me, a good horror film with an exploitation taste.It seems that everytime a movie sound great the result is always the same ... it don't work. The movie consist of 80 minutes of talking and nothing really happen. Everybody talk and talk and talk and talk, someone is kill but we don't see it, the others talk and talk and talk (I think that you understand what I want to say). Something finally happen near the end when the killer is reveal and we see in a flasback what is the motivation for is action, but after 80 minutes of nothing I was not interested anymore. Like any other movie by Pete Walker they are a lot of beautifull British girls (Luan Peters is the best looking here) and honestly this is the only good thing in this movie. This movie is one of my bigger DVD deception, a bad script and as much action than a polish black and white movie made 60 years ago. Not recommanded at all. Rating : 2/5 (From My review - unseen and unwatched january marathon on January 17th, 2008) Sliders Marathon, a review by addicted2dvdSeason 1 1. PILOT (Double Length Episode) A physics accident sends student Quinn Mallory and his trio of companions on an interdimensional roller-coaster ride to an apocalyptic San Francisco. After a narrow escape from an icy death, the Sliders find themselves in a Soviet-ruled U.S., where their only hope of escape is to free an imprisoned revolutionary. My Thoughts: This is a very good story. I enjoyed every second of it. It is a good introduction to all the characters. And the ending is well thought out where you think everything is going to be fine... then everything is turned upside down in a shocking and emotional way. My Rating: ![]() 2. FEVER When Wade is infected with a deadly virus on an Earth wracked by an epidemic, Rembrandt and Arturo race to find a cure and free Quinn from a Gestapo-like health agency. My Thoughts: Another good episode... I enjoyed a lot. This one shows that something that is simple and taken for granted can be life changing in one of the alternate universes. My Rating: ![]() 3. LAST DAYS The salvation of a world facing destruction by an asteroid rests in the hands of Arturo and an overzealous young scientist. Meanwhile, Quinn and Wade begin to face their feelings for each other. My Thoughts: Another episode I enjoyed a lot. I always enjoyed the disaster type movies with such storylines... and they did a good job converting it to a TV episode. This episode completes the first disc. The extras on this disc includes previews and a commentary on the pilot episode. My Rating: ![]() (From Sliders Marathon on August 12th, 2009) |
