Razer BlackWidow Ultimate (Keyboard)

  This is a beast of a keyboard. The construction is incredibly durable, with the decision to include mechanical keys ensuring that ME3 players can beat the hell out of it without utterly trashing it. The ability to create and store macros on-keyboard will ratchet up a player’s ability, and has been implemented in a way that is simple and intuitive. Razer has included a number of aesthetic additions that…

Kate & Leopold (Blu-Ray)

With each month, it seems like more classic films are receiving a Blu-Ray release. Kate & Leopold is a 2001 film featuring Hugh Jackman and Meg Ryan, and has been mastered wonderfully for the new format. The juxtaposition of different moralities possessed by these two time-crossed lovers makes for interesting interactions, resulting in one of the best Ryan roles outside of You’ve Got Mail. The Blu-Ray version released by Lionsgate…

Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!: A Wuzzleburg Tale (DVD)

I like the fact that Nick Jr. (and releasing company Anchor Bay) have been on point with the timeliness of the Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! releases. There are a number of childrens’ shows that do not receive a DVD release, or get a release years after the show has originally aired. By capturing each collection of episodes soon after they are originally shown, sales will be stronger and more significant interest…

J Duff – The Introduction (CD)

J Duff is one of the few rappers that are on their way to stardom. The 2012 XXL Freshman Class was filled with has-beens and never-weres, leading listeners to find the best new artists. I believe that J Duff is on a path to become a household name, and this is because of his incredible wordplay and punchy beats. His flow comes forth on the disc’s first cut, Can’t Stop…

Trinity Goodheart (DVD)

  Trinity Goodheart is a touching story that is able to bridge the gap between realism and fantasy perfectly. The titular character is on a mission from God; when given a locket that eir mom originally owned, Trinity understands what ey must do. The sheer forces that stack up against this 12 year old are substantial, but it is through eir faith that the title comes to a resolution. The…

Casablanca 70th Anniversary Limited Edition Giftset (Blu-Ray Set)

  Warner Brothers has went alol out in their 70th anniversary boxed set release of Casablanca. The film is provided to viewers in stunning Blu-Ray, which benefits considerably from a remastering of the film that restores it to the quality in which viewers in 1942 originally watched. This is just the beginning; the company has provided so many different bells and whistles to this set that viewers will literally take…

The All-American Rejects – Kids in the Street: Deluxe Edition (CD)

  There is such a sense that The All-American Rejects would struggle to create an identify for themselves separate from the singles that they have already released. A number of bands have not been able to follow up on their largest successes, but I feel that Kids in the Street is an essential title for establishing the band’s new style. Sure, there are overtures to their previous work (Gonzo and…
