People said it shouldn’t be done. They said it would ruin the TV show. They said it’s going to suck like hell. I say SHUT UP, NERDS! The Simpsons Movie is just what it is: a movie done, Simpsons style! OK, that didn’t make sense, so let’s just talk about it here, the fourth and penultimate chapter of DVD Week.
So far on DVD Week, we’ve seen a wall-crawling super-hero and swashbuckling bloody pirates. Today, the spotlight goes to a rat who wants to be a chef in Paris. Ratatouille is brought to us by my favorite creative tandems, Pixar and Brad frickin’ Bird. The Incredibles is still superior, but this baby is a close second.
It’s the second swashbuckling day of DVD Week, and today, it’s all about the third movie in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise: At World’s End. I actually lost interest in the franchise when I heard the reviews on Dead Man’s Chest. I didn’t see it when it hit theaters. Same thing with At World’s End, but when I heard about Chow Yun Fat joining the cast in the third installment, I thought there will be some Kung Fu pirate action involved, but sadly, there were none. =(
We’ll kick off DVD Week with the DVD that completed my Spider-Man Trilogy collection: Spider-Man 3 2-Disc Special Edition! I was psyched to see the movie in a theater, but I was most excited to own it on DVD. I mean, come on, a Spider-Man Trilogy movie marathon on a lazy Sunday afternoon? Geekgasm galore.
Although I hate Bryan Singer (don’t ask), I love documentaries. Especially if it’s about comics. I thought long and hard about getting this documentary about Superman, and I finally gave in. I mean, come on. It’s Superman.
