It didnt exactly set the box-office on fire, so can Green Lantern find its audience on Blu-ray? After signing on for both, the latter was quickly pushed into production to block the first. Was this risk one that really paid off for Reynolds? Straight up, I have say it really wasnt worth the effort.

One of the finest historical epics ever made makes its debut on Blu-ray. Back then, directors had to wrangle thousands of extras and, sometimes, literal armies. It is no surprise that Warner Brothers have pulled out all the stops for the 1959 films Blu-ray debut. It follows Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince who is betrayed by his childhood friend Messala. Heston embodies the part with that sense of drive, hatred and new-found humanity that he is famous for....
Seb delves in to find out… As such, its far less likely to appeal either to curious gamers or to fans of Spielbergs film. The gameplay problems are dealt with more easily.

Jurassic Park: The Gameis available now for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, iPad and Mac. Rating: 2 out of 5
Its Brian De Palmas 1974 musical take on The Phantom Of The Opera, and its quite odd. It was the 1970s, after all. In typical De Palma fashion, this scene is simultaneously played for laughs, horror, and pathos. Leach is resurrected as the Phantom, stalking Swans new rock coliseum, the Paradise. But part of the charm of the movie is admiring how much De Palma has crammed into it. Youve got to respect this movie, even if it aint your bag....
Its as though the horsepower of the N64 has been mated with the stallion that wasSuper Mario Bros 3. Its a full retro trip for longstandingMariofans like myself. On the positive side, it just means weve more time to get on with the game. So is the game any good? Well, its a resounding yes. Graphically, the game is amazing, and as good as anything the Wii has pulled off....
The anti-GTA is back, and its even more absurd than before. Here’s our review of Saints Row The Third… It was an inferior game toGTA, but still attempted to emulate the successful series. The second game was, quite simply, crazy. Want a transsexualIncredible Hulk? Fancy playing as a overweight geisha? Whatever your particular taste, you’re able to probably craft it here. Quickly youll discover some of the games tweaks and refinements, including a tighter and more polished car handling....
I wont mentionWolverine, and what I thought of that, just in case I ever meet Hugh Jackman. James McAvoy is the overly optimistic Charles, and Michael Fassbender is the traumatised and darkly driven Erik. Theyre both brilliant, even if Fassbender gets the choicest scenes and darkest moments to inhabit. In the same vein, January Jones appears as Emma Frost, or is that Emma Peel? In addition to the DTS-HD track, theres also an English descriptive audio in Dolby 5....
Brian De Palma directed one of the finest sequences of his career in The Untouchables. Ad content continues below What follows is the cinematic equivalent of a grand toppling domino display. In a carefully arranged, wide establishing shot, we see Ness and Stone enter the station. Meticulously, De Palma gradually builds up the tension. A young mother appears at the foot of the stairs, pushing a pram while holding two heavy-looking suitcases....
Here are his reasons why you should play it… What elements would the perfect old-school shooter require? A steadily rising challenge? Multiple paths through the game? A smattering of strategy? Go on, then. NamcosGalaga 88, Id argue, contains all those elements, plus a few unique ones of its own. At heart, its little more than left, right, shoot, left, right, shoot. So just what is so special about an ancient arcade game that nobody talks about anymore?...
Well, its anElder Scrollgame, so were used to packing in the quest lines arent we? The world of Skyrim, like Cyrodiil before it, looks great and is truly enormous. As you begin the game you are, in trueElder Scrollstradition, a prisoner. Youre on the way to be executed and during this the game skilfully weaves in the character creation. Now, combat is much more visceral, and has more meat to it....
The biggest release of the year has hit store shelves. Can Modern Warfare 3 win the military FPS showdown? Youd be a fool to bet against it. Ad content continues below The more things change… Despite this, though, I struggled to muster any form of emotion. Theres no faulting the game in this respect. The problem is that itsCoDand its all very predictable and trite. The devs have done exactly what people expected and little more....
Although the trend is changing, too many comics treat their female characters as little more than decoration. Jennie looks at the changing role of women in comics… Its a time of change for comic books. Comics have always had difficulty maintaining not only a female readership but also female characters. The site suggested that women in comics should not be abused, depowered or reduced to plot devices. Such attempts have proven mostly unsuccessful at drawing in readers or preventing critical accusations....
Is director Tarsem Singhs Immortals good enough to earn a place in the pantheon of great mythical epic movies? It kicked off with the double disappointment of Nic Cage starrersSeason Of The WitchandDrive Angry 3D. Jason Statham then failed to brighten things up inKiller Elite. And then theresImmortals, which is arguably the worst of them all. Anyway, as I settled down to watch it, my hopes were high. Then suddenly, there are loud noises....
