The Zombie Apocalypse is coming to your home. World War Z is out on Blu-Ray.

 

World War Z is a triumph after all and a brilliant new addition to the zombie genre. Brad Pitt plays our tour guide in a new world going to undead hell. Pitt’s hero takes us to the darkest depths where life has been forsaken and pockets of humanity where hope desperately tries to remain alive. Pitt plays Gerry Lane, a United Nations investigator who left behind a career traveling to the world’s most dangerous war zones. When the undead attack the living and multiply at an uncontrollable rate Lane gets his family to safety and gets recruited by his former employers to lead a search for the cause and possible cure to the outbreak.

Star Trek Into Darkness is now on Blu-ray. The latest Trek adventure goes boldly with excitement, action and passion! J.J. Abrams and his crew honor the Star Trek legacy while taking it warp drive into new directions. It’s everything you love about Trek yet feels fresh and exciting like a cadet on their first Starfleet mission!

The acting is superb with emotion, humor and power.

The action is relentless. From exotic and horrific alien landscapes to the inner sanctums of Continue reading STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS Review
