Synopsis: Set in the near future where robot boxing is a top sport a struggling promoter feels hes found a champion in a discarded robot. During his hopeful rise to the top he discovers he has an 11-year-old son who wants to know his father

Review: Real Steel isn't a new and fresh film. The plots and character motivations are in no way original..in fact they're even cliche. Thats not to say that this isn't a great movie....because actually it is! The fact that you add in boxing Robots and the great Hugh Jackman didn't hurt, but this one is so finely polished and so well executed that its an absolute joy to experience. My 9 year old son LOVED this one, and I found myself very much into it, as well. Its the old underdog story with a new twist, and defiantely a great family film.

Synopsis: Academy Award(R) Winners Rachel Weisz and Vanessa Redgrave head a powerful cast that includes Oscar(R) Nominee David Strathairn in writer-director Larysa Kondracki's harrowing dramatic thriller. When Nebraska cop Kathryn Bolkovac (Weisz) accepts a U.N. peacekeeper position in post-war Bosnia, she discovers a deadly sex trafficking ring. Risking her own life to save the lives of others, she uncovers an international conspiracy that is determined to stop her, no matter the cost. With masterful acting and a heart-racing plot, "The Whistleblower" is an acclaimed film inspired by actual events.

Review: The Whistleblower is an inspiring, dramatic and terrifying real-life tale. This film stars the beautiful and talented Rachel Weisz, who brilliantly portrays Kathryn Bolkovac, does a phenominal job in this one portraying the horror, shock and focused anger of someone that discovers a sex-trade ring on a UN peacekeeping mission! This is a pretty heavy film, so viewer beware...the subject matter is pretty intense, having been based on a true story.

Synopsis: Ambition seduces and power corrupts in a nerve-wracking thriller from Academy Award® nominated director George Clooney (Good Night, and Good Luck). Idealistic campaign worker Stephen Meyers (Ryan Gosling) has sworn to give all for Governor Mike Morris (Clooney), a wild card presidential candidate whose groundbreaking ideas could change the political landscape. However, a brutal Ohio primary threatens to test Morris's integrity. Stephen gets trapped in the down-and-dirty battle and finds himself caught up in a scandal where the only path to survival is to play both sides. The all-star cast includes Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood.

Review: For our money there is no better actor in our times than George Clooney. He has that old Hollywood feel about him that oozes likability and integrity. He is joined in this politicial drama by an outstanding supporting cast that includes Philip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei and Paul Giamatti. Gosling is alright, but I'm not really a fan. This one is well-written, smooth and an easy watch. Its a complete win and I recommend it to all audiences!

Synopsis: When Roman's girlfriend disappears, he expects to find her in the arms of another man. Instead he finds her held captive by a pair of elderly and unstable political radicals armed with cases of decades-old and highly explosive dynamite. The villainous duo has been conducting illicit experiments on young girls lured to their home via the internet, and unless Roman can free his young love from their clutches, she's likely to end up in pieces due to a generous slathering of nitroglycerin. A delirious old school horror picture with the most memorable villains in years at its core, Adrian Garcia Bogliano's "Cold Sweat" is an unforgettable shocker loaded with wildly imaginative and stylish action.

Review: I'm not really into horror, but Cold Sweat took me my surprise. It plays more like an intense thriller with some brutal action. The film is very modern, in that the victims are lured via the internet. The motivations of the villains isn't quite clear at all times, but their banter is darkly hilarious. This one is definately worth the watch.

Synopsis: Bucky [Nick Swarsdon] is a small town grocery bagger, going nowhere in life until he discovers that his conservative parents were once adult film stars! Armed with the belief that he has found his destiny, Bucky packs up and heads out to LA, hoping to follow in his parents footsteps. Also starring Christina Ricci, Don Johnson and Stephen Dorff.

Review: Bucky Larson is an interesting film, because its almost immediately a parody of itself. I don't know if they made this as a cheeky joke or if they really are so out of touch that they think this kind of cliche storytelling is what the public puts up with anymore. I tend to think its a bit of a satire, and in the case the movie is genius. Nick Swardson is a funny guy and he does a nice job of building the ackward and bizarre looking character of Bucky Larson and there are some laughs to pull out of this one, but beware!

The special features on this DVD include: Laughter Is Contagious, Behind The Teeth, Gary: Tough Customer and Bucky Sparkles.

Synopsis: Set during the opening days of World War II on the Eastern Front. Its main cast is a group of Soviet teenagers with extraordinary abilities; the teenagers have been drafted to form a special unit to fight the invading German army. They are opposed by a Schutzstaffel (SS) officer who is attempting to raise from the dead a supernatural army of crusaders from the 12th-century Order of the Sacred Cross and enlist them in the Nazi cause.

Review: We've seen a lot of anime here at the Legion, but none quite so unique as First Squad! This unusual anime is centered around a group of superpowered teens during WWII Russia. The enemy? The Nazi SS, who just so happen to be raising the dead. Does it get cooler than this? Hell no! The animation is great and the story is phenominal. We cannot recommend this one enough for anime and non-anime fans alike!

Synopsis: Private Kang (Jang Dong-kun) monitors a stretch of the South Korean coast lined with barbed-wire fencing. Driven by the belief that killing a spy is the highest honor, Kang eagerly awaits a chance to prove his worth as a soldier. One night, he mistakes a promiscuous couple for North Korean spies and shoots without hesitation. Despite receiving honors, he slowly begins to unravel under the grief of his actions. As he loses his grip on reality, tensions and paranoia escalate and further tragedy becomes unavoidable. The Coast Guard won acclaimed director Kim Ki-Duk a FIPRESCI Prize for its strong and innovative depiction of the illusion of power which destroys humanity on both sides of the fence. Blu Ray + DVD combo pack

Review: The Coast Guard is a fantastic cautionary tale of the power of authority gone wrong. The gung-ho war hero attitude can be quite dangerous in real life situations. After a private shoots an innocent couple, he begins to fall apart, and rightfully so. This film is emotional and sends a fantastic message, while taking the viewer on a great journey. This one is an excellent watch.

Synopsis: Action-packed British thriller based on the real-life events of Ian Fleming's 30 Commando during World War II - the template for the modern day SAS. Sean Bean and Danny Dyer star in an adrenalin-fuelled action-adventure which takes our heroes from the edge of defeat on the beaches of Dunkirk to the mountains of Norway on a search-and-destroy mission behind enemy lines that, if successful, would change the course of the war.

Review: Sean Bean is a great actor. We saw him featured in the Lord of the Rings trilogy portraying a character that died off quickly. Then, we see him in Game of Thrones kicking ass and again...dies off. This time, we get him as a British spy in the Ian Fleming tradition. This one is full of old school style action with flair! We recommend this for anyone looking for a nice throwback to the spy films of the 1950s.

Review: Dirty Girl is a risque new comedy/drama about a young girl and her journey to come of age. When her mother marries a crazy mormon she escapes to California to meet her real father, along with her new guy friend, a gay outcast. This film is an interesting blend of genres that moves from one type of film to another, in fact you get about three films in one by the end. There are a few "dirty" situations, particularly in the beginning, but as the film goes on you get some comedy and them some family drama. This is a charming film and is definately worth the watch.

Synopsis: "Redline" is about the biggest and most deadly racing tournament in the universe. Only held once every five years, everyone wants to stake their claim to fame, including JP, a reckless dare-devil driver oblivious to speed limits with his ultra-customized car - all the while, organized crime and militaristic governments want to leverage the race to their own ends. Amongst the other elite rival drivers in the tournament, JP falls for the alluring Sonoshee - but will she prove his undoing, or can a high speed romance survive a mass destruction race?

Review: We have seen a lot of anime here at the Legion...but none quite like Redline. The show is featured around the deadliest and most dangerous race in the world. This anime doesn't have the trappings of some similar features with the cheesy lines, the pervy situations and cooky characters. This one really takes animated storytelling seriously with great action and a wonderful story. We recommend this one to any serious anime fan.

Division III: Football's Finest Blu-Ray Review

Synopsis: Comedy mad man Andy Dick (Old School) leads a winning ensemble cast in this outrageous comedy in the no holds barred tradition of Bad Santa and Bad Teacher. Meet bad coach Rick Vice, a redneck psycho with a suspect record (the attempted murder of a Pee Wee football team). When the Pulham Blue Cocks coach drops dead on the sidelines, Vice is the last resort to turn around the worst team in college football's worst division (it's one step up from Nerf). Marshall Cook costars as Mitch, the slacker second-string quarterback who butts helmets with Vice, his worst nightmare, but maybe Vice's demented methods will be just the spark to turn Mitch and the Blue Cocks into winners. Adam Corolla (The Man Show) and MadTV veterans Will Sasso, Debra Wilson, Mo Collins and Bryan Callen go the extra yard in this comedy that will blindside you.

Review: Its a rare bird that really "gets" Andy Dick. He is kind of a maniac, after all. I am one of those rare birds, though. I think he's hilarious. This film is the best example of his work that I've seen in years. If this one can catch on, he just might be looking at a comeback. The comedy is well structured and outrageous and definately a good time for those that enjoy extreme comedy.

Synopsis: In this hilarious series Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, co-creators of The Office and Extras, send their friend Karl Pilkington (The Ricky Gervais Show) around the world...against his will! Karl thinks he’s visiting the "Seven Wonders" but along the way the “Little Englander” must endure camel rides, jungle treks, tribal customs and local oddballs while dining on toads and testicles... and searching for a clean bathroom. How does a man who prefers vacationing via camper cope with being an idiot abroad?

Review: Everyone knows someone that is a complete idiot..but none are quite so funny as the dopey, but lovable pal of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant...Karl Pilkington! Ricky and Stephen are, of course, the gents responsible for the Office TV show, amongst other things. This time around, they are sending Karl to see the seven wonders of the world, so that he experience other cultures and perhaps broaden his little mind. The great bit is that they get him in tons of situations that are culturally bizarre to him, so his extreme reactions are priceless. He rides bulls, eats the tequila work and runs from bees in Mexico...he gets painted in colored powders in India..he has to stay the night in a cave and ride a camel through the desert for eight hours in Jordan. There are other highlights, like watching Karl mock the Peruvian tribeschildren for not being able to figure out his travel edition of Connect Four. We cannot say enough good things about this show, its an absolute blast!

This DVD set includes the entire first season of the show, as a second season has already aired overseas and is underway here in America. There are seven episodes, one for each wonder of the world, and one recap episode with Ricky, Stephen and Karl and a ton of unseen footage! Ths one is an absolute must-have!

Synopsis: This special collection features four specials, each examining a different aspect of the Ice Age. It s a remarkable journey from the primitive man who inhabited the planet to a volcanic eruption and its devastating impact, to a fascinating look at a changing world and the cost of survival, to an exploration into the possibilities of another Ice Age.

We start with Clash of the Cavemen, which compares the Neanderthals with the Cro-Magnons and follows them through a bone-chilling Ice Age winter, ending with the extinction of one species. Next, Volcanic Winter goes back 75,000 years to trace the impact of a volcanic eruption how it may have pushed the planet into an ice age and how it could have brought humanity to the edge of extinction. Then, take a Journey to 10,000 BC for the real story of life on earth during that time to unravel the geologic mystery surrounding the first environmental crisis faced by man. And finally, Mega Freeze asks if an Ice Age could happen again and if, in fact, it may already be too late to prevent a global disaster.

Review: The History Channel makes the best documentaries out there. This new DVD set features a collection of various documentaries on the ice age!

DISC 1: Clash of the Cavemen / Volcanic Winter

DISC 2: Journey to 10,000 BC / Mega Freeze

Synopsis: Dexterous martial arts legend Jackie Chan reaches his 100th film milestone with this historical drama set in the year 1911, as the Chinese public begins to revolt against the Qing Dynasty that has ruled the country for 250 years. As the child emperor takes the throne and his mother, Empress Dowager Longyu (Joan Chen), clings to power, famine sweeps the land and warring factions clash in battle. Meanwhile, the "New Army" beings targeting rebels and the desperate leaders of the Qing Dynasty begin putting the country's future at risk through rampant trading with foreign countries. When Huang Xing (Jackie Chan) returns home from studying modern warfare in Japan, he finds his homeland consumed by strife. Realizing that the only hope for the future is for China to take up arms and topple the Qing Dynasty, Huang enters into an epic battle that threatens devastating consequences for the common people. Bing Bing Lee, Jaycee Chan, and Winston Chao co-star

Review: This movie represents the landmark 100th film for Jackie Chan. The historical drama is a rare look into China's past. Chan plays an unlikely role as a revolutionary that helps to create an environment of revolt. The Qing Dynasty may fall, but the consequences for the citizens could be deadly. This one is full of drama, political action and intrigue. Its a fantastic example of Chinese cinema at its finest.

Review: We hadn't heard of this one before it arrived at our doorstep, but Sinners and Saints is one of the coolest action movies we've seen in awhile. The basic story here is about a cop hunting down a brutal killer that may be one of his childhood friends! What is remarkable about this film is the absolute thrilling action and violence involved in the journey as more and more layers get piled on this low budget action flick. This one is definately fun and we highly recommend checking it out.

Synopsis: For centuries, the adventures of King Arthur and his fabled court of heroes, the Knights of the Round Table, have dominated the imagination of the western world. This special collection presents five original specials that will help separate fact from fiction.

Quest for King Arthur examines the tantalizing historical facts behind the story of King Arthur and his band of deathless heroes and illuminates the contemporary quest by researchers to establish if the 6th-century warlord truly existed.

King Arthur: His Life and Legends offers stunning recreations and abundant images from centuries past, to explore the social, political and emotional factors that have made Arthur's story so dear to Western culture.

Ancient Mysteries: Camelot takes the viewer on a magical quest through England and Wales in search of Lancelot, Guinevere, Merlin, and Excalibur in an attempt to uncover evidence that Arthur s battles really took place.

Knights and Armor traces the history of arms and armor with an up-close look at the world-famous Graz collection of Armor in Austria and recaptures the chivalry and grandeur of a legendary, by-gone age.

Quest for the Holy Grail wonders if it is possible this sacred relic has survived as a hidden treasure or could it be one of the ancient vessels displayed in museums throughout the world.

Review: The History Channel is known for releasing some of the best documentaries out there and this set on King Arthur is no exception!
