Blu-Ray Review: Liam Neeson Kicks Butt, Takes Names in ‘Unknown’
Submitted by mattmovieman on June 29, 2011 - 7:23amCHICAGO – For audiences seeking a casually entertaining thriller that doesn’t require a great deal of thought, “Unknown” amounts to an enjoyable couple of hours. Skeptics are advised to steer clear.

Blu-Ray Review: ‘Green Lantern: Emerald Knights’ Explores DC Universe
Submitted by mattmovieman on June 14, 2011 - 7:46amCHICAGO – Superheroes may appear relatively sure-footed, but they are on shaky ground with modern audiences. The sense of awe evoked so effortlessly in Richard Donner’s 1978 classic “Superman” is practically impossible to pull off these days. Comic book adaptations have to be entrenched in realism (as in “The Dark Knight”) to truly wow audiences. Fantastical superpowers and pure-hearted morality just seem so passé.
