The Towering Inferno D-BOX Review

Dragonball, the Towering Inferno, and My Cousin Vinny Blu-ray Reviews

Fox is one of the better companies when it comes to Blu-ray, but they generally don't add much exclusive content to their Blu's. So when they put out an older title, you can expect not much more than what's already been released.

Comox Valley Echo

This vroom-vroom is a little ho-hum

Fast & Furious: They're faster. They're furiouser. Too bad the groin-tingling appeal of the fossil-fuel burning vehicle just feels passe, because for all the pretty cars parading through this fourth gear in the F&F franchise, Fast & Furious feels ridiculously dated and just a little dopey from all the noxious exhaust.
