Now that the X-Men animated series is fully released on DVD, Buena Vista has released the complete animated series of Iron Man, also from the mid-90s. This was a short-lived but good while it lasted animated series.
Of all the cartoons from this time period, this is perhaps the most forgettable. Chalk it up to the fact that Iron Man is not the most prevalent comic book hero when standing against Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, et al.
With the release of "Iron Man 2" in theaters, it is obvious that Buena Vista timed this release to coincide.
As for the series itself, it is a half-in-half cartoon. The first half is simply terrible. The story and animation is horrendous at times. But then there is the second half of the series that is incredible. Unlike the other cartoon series, Iron Man consists of many ...

It is finally here. The final volume of the greatest animated X-Men cartoon. Volume 5 contains the fifth and final season of the mid-90s cartoon. For a while I was worried that the final volume would never come. Season four was supposed to be the final season. It was concluded with a 4-part episode that wrapped things up better than most cartoons.
However, Fox decided to add a fifth season. This season brings several changes. These changes include different voices for several characters and a new animation studio. These changes make it difficult at a glance to realize this season belongs with the first four seasons.
The animation has changed quite a bit, separating it from the first part of the series, and from all the other animated cartoons of the era. It also takes a little while to get used to ...

“Wizards of Waverly Place” is one of Disney’s most successful television programs in the past decade. The shelf of these shows is relatively short, corresponding with the generation currently in the age bracket. There was nothing wrong with “Lizzie McGuire” and yet that show was canceled after only two seasons and 65 episodes. That being said, “Wizards of Waverly Place” has already gone its two seasons and is in the midst of its third. The show has won several awards, which is probably what is keeping it alive.
The success of the program has led to a made-for-TV movie starring the whole of the original cast plus a couple newcomers.
In the film, the Russo family is preparing for a trip to the Caribbean, one of the most magical places on the planet. However, ma and pa Russo are heading there to ...

“World’s Greatest Dad” is another one of the hyped movies on the premium movie channels. While I don’t believed it lived up to the hype, it is certainly an original film presentation. With Robin Williams as the lead star, one would expect this to be a ridiculously funny movie. However, much to the contrary, it is a rather dark and disturbing movie with a comical undertone.
Robin Williams is a high school English teach by day and a wannabe, unpublished writer by night. He lives with his teenage son, who is probably the biggest pervert and jerk in the entire world. I don’t find this behavior highly realistic, but just go with it.
Now, I debated on whether or not to disclose this fact, but the second and third acts of the film are all based on it so I have no ...

How many romantic comedies do you think are out there? Probably too many. So what makes “The Proposal” different from all the others? Well, in all honesty, not much. Still, “The Proposal” is more entertaining than I would have expected. I enjoyed the chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, but the film suffers from too many of the pitfalls of romantic comedies.
“The Proposal” ultimate downfall is that the ending is unresolved, at least for my tastes. The ending is the same as every romantic comedy. It ends with the audience wanting to know what transpires next. We already knew from the beginning that they are going to end up together, but what happens to their jobs and lives after that. That, to me is more interesting than the journey to how they end up together.
The promos for the DVD ...
