Toga! Toga! Ok, so Animal House has been released on DVD and Blu-Ray a rack of times before, but when you're the greatest frathouse comedy of all-time this is the treatment you get. And besides, it never gets tiresome listening to John Belushi's Bluto give his rousing speech.
In the mid to late 90s, you couldn't throw a kernal of popcorn without hitting some new disaster flick. If it wasn't rampaging dinosaurs, it was apocalyptic meteor showers. If it wasn't meteors, it was volcanoes. While the most widely recognized of those films was Volcano, starring Tommy Lee Jones, Dante's Peak has always been my personal favorite. If it's on TV, I'm not turning away. Period. Pierce Brosnan stars as a volanologist who heads to a small town and hooks up with the mayor, a hot single mom played by Linda Hamilton, just before the area turns into a modern day Pompeii.
Duncan Jones follows his stylish, cerebral sci-fi debut, Moon, with a clear cut crowd pleaser. A blend of Hitchcockian elements with technological wonders, Source Code is the thinking man's summer blockbuster, only a few months earlier. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as soldier who finds himself in the midst of a top secret experiment where his consciousness is sent into the last 8 minutes of another person's life, in hopes of discovering the culprit responsible for a terrible terrorist attack. He's forced to repeat those last few minutes until he succeeds. That's the simplest way to explain it, but there's a lot more to it than that. Think of as a science fiction version of Groundhog Day
