Updated HDTV Buying Guide - In this update to our Guide, I'll be explaining Ultra HD TVs and Smart TVs as well as other shifts in the TV marketplace.

Blu-ray Player Buying Guide - A seismic shift in the Blu-ray player market has occurred. It's definitely time to update the Guide to reflect the current trends. And for your convenience, I have assembled a shopping Checklist.

Lincoln - Combat litters the screenplay. Not just the battle of the Union versus the Confederacy or emancipation versus slavery. Northerners and Southerners had their own internal skirmishes. And then there were the political wars inside the White House and domestic wars inside the Lincoln marriage. Add to these the inner conflicts that agonized every conscientious person from the period.

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 - Is this the worst movie of 2012 as awarded by the Razzies or is it the must-see-movie as anointed by screaming teeny-bopping wanna-be-Bellas? I have to side with the juvie vamping vixens. It's definitely not a great movie, but it is the best action movie where both sexes are smart, virile, viral, totally equal and equally exquisite.

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome - This made for television movie,is a prequel to the popular and sorely missed TV series. Blood & Chrome takes us back to when the cocksure Ensign William Adama (Luke Pasqualino) graduates from flight school and is chomping at the bit to battle the Cylons (or Toasters as he calls them).

Death Race 3 - "You have to have four B's in a movie to make it excellent. Bullets, blood, bombs and babes." Explains Danny Trejo, one of the stars. By that standard, the third installment of this movie franchise is ultra-excellent as in ultra-violent.

Brave - Princess Merida is the anti-cupid. She uses the bow and arrow to rebuke and refute romance - not to stoke it. She's a princess by birth, a tomboy at heart, and a rebel by design.
