Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Disney, Adventure, Animation, Classics, Family, DVD Reviews, Short FilmCrunch, Videocasts,

Neil Estep and Veronica Santiago review the Limited Edition Platinum DVD release of The Little Mermaid in this episode of FilmCrunch, the animated screen version of Hans Christian Andersen’s story of a mermaid named Ariel, who falls in love with an earthly prince. We were glad to see this one come out of the infamous vault, as it’s a classic. And hey - it even comes with an uber chic bracelet! Can’t go wrong with this one, folks.

FilmCrunch 021: Infernal Affairs DVD Review

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Foreign, DVD Reviews, Short FilmCrunch, Videocasts,

Neil Estep reviews the DVD release of Infernal Affairs in this episode of FilmCrunch.

A cop goes undercover as a gangster while, simultaneously, a gangster infiltrates the police force, pretending to be a cop. These two sleeper agents live underground for a decade before a series of mistakes clues in all the wrong people as to what’s going on and each mole is ordered to root out the double agent—which in both cases happens to be themselves. Torn between conflicting father figures—an avuncular, paranoid gang boss and a morally comprised police superintendent—the two moles slowly feel the net tighten like an icy hand around their necks. Juggling identies, always one mistake from a bullet in their head, and seduced by the attractions of their cover identies, both men slowly unravel, battering themselves bloody against the bars of their own personal hells, while their souls ice over.

FilmCrunch 020: Click DVD Review

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Columbia Pictures, Family, Comedy, DVD Reviews, Short FilmCrunch, Videocasts,

Veronica Santiago and Neil Estep review the DVD release of Click in this episode of FilmCrunch.

Michael Newman is married to the beautiful Donna and they have two terrific kids, Ben and Samantha. But he doesn’t get to see them much because he’s putting in long, hard hours at his architectural firm in the elusive hope that his ungrateful boss will one day recognize his invaluable contribution and make him a partner. After staying up all night to work, a tired Michael becomes frustrated because he can’t even figure out which of his remotes will turn on the TV. Michael sets out to find the perfect device to operate all his electronic equipment and stumbles into the back room of a Bed, Bath & Beyond, where an eccentric employee, Morty, gives him an experimental one-of-a-kind souped-up gadget guaranteed to change his life. Soon Michael is master of his domain, turning on every appliance with the click of a button. But the device has more startling functions. It can somehow muffle the barking of Sundance, the family dog—and even more astoundingly, fast forward through an annoying quarrel with his wife. Michael is fascinated by his new toy and a little freaked out as well…
