Happy 20th anniversary, Wallace and Gromit!

4 November 2009 7:33 PM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »

Tweny years ago today, two clay figures went on a grand day out to get some cheese, so of course they went to the moon to get some. Since then, Aardman Animation's Wallace and Gromit have become two of the most recognizable faces of modern British culture.

The pair have starred in a number of 30-minute films since, including The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave and A Matter of Loaf and Death, and one feature-length film, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, which won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. And today, in England at least, they made a Google doodle to mark the occasion.

As for me, I'm off to have some cheese and cracking good toast to celebrate. »

Wallace & Gromit: The Complete Collection Blu-ray Review

25 October 2009 8:08 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Considering the worldwide phenomenon Wallace and Gromit have become, it’s something of a mystery that the stop-motion duo’s latest adventure, the Hitchcockian “who-donut” A Matter of Loaf and Death, would go straight to home video in the States (as opposed to overseas, where the BBC debuted the film to through-the-roof ratings on Christmas Day). The upside of the arrangement is that it gives American fans an excuse to snag the entire W&G collection on Blu-ray, complete with commentaries, extras and a host of “Cracking Contraptions” shorts.

As it turns out, Loaf and Death is actually something of a letdown, trading the retro-styled charm of their three previous shorts and feature-length adventure Curse of the Were-Rabbit for faster pacing, a fair amount of CG and a bunch of recent blockbuster references (after operating in a 1940s-style time capsule all these years, does the series really need references to Aliens? »

This Week On DVD and Blu-ray: February 10, 2009

9 February 2009 11:38 PM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

DVD Links: DVD News | Release Dates | New Dvds | Reviews | RSS Feed A Time to Kill I really like this film and have been waiting for an opportunity to buy it since the DVD release has always included the first half of the film on one side of the disc and the second half on the other side, easily one of the most annoying ideas to come out of the early days of DVD. However, now that it is on Blu-ray there is finally a version worth buying and you can believe I will be picking this one up. The Rock Collection

The Rundown / Doom / The Scorpion King Last night I popped in Doom and watched about 30 minutes or so of it and one thing I noticed, that I hadn't before, is the high definition picture really made the Rock's back look sort of weird where they tried to cover up all his tats. »
