The Wolverine Collection

The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. 

On October 14, 2014, Shout! Factory is proud to present Marvel Knights: The Wolverine Collection, with five complete Marvel Knights Animation releases, together in one collection for the first time. The 5-DVD set features Wolverine: Origin, Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk, Wolverine vs. Sabretooth, Wolverine vs. Sabretooth: Reborn and Wolverine Weapon X: Tomorrow Dies Today, brought together to tell the story of one of the most significant characters in the Marvel Universe.

Marvel Knights Animation remains true to the heritage of panel-by-panel graphic storytelling, boasting groundbreaking illustrations, sensational soundscapes, and of course, the explosiveness of the Mighty Marvel Universe. Behind every image and every word lies the genius of Marvel’s celebrated creators.

MY THOUGHTS

I love Marvel so I couldn't wait to watch this.  I am not a fan of this panel-by-panel graphic dvds but the story was good. It isn't something I personally would watch again but I know that my husband will most likely like this so I think I will be giving it to him.

If you have someone on your list that enjoys graphic novels and are fans of Marvel, I think this would be a great gift to give them.

MY THOUGHTS

OK don't yell at me but I am not a fan of Star Wars and never have been. Every time my husband and I sit to watch the movies I fall asleep but surprisingly enough I really like this cartoon. We have all the other Clone Wars cartoons and I watch it on Teletoon whenever I remember to watch it.

I personally thing STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS: THE LOST MISSIONS is a good cartoon to watch with your children.  It is one of those cartoons that is enjoyable either if you are young or old. It is very well written and keeps me entertained. 

This is a fantastic  gift to give for a Star Wars fan.

MY THOUGHTS

As a child I did like Transformers cartoons but that was back in the 1980's so I was interested in seeing this cartoon .

It is very well done and I was a little bit entertained but it isn't something I would watch again in the future .  Not sure if those die hard Transformers fans will enjoy it better than I did but I think children will enjoy this more so I am planning on giving this to one of my nephews because I know he will enjoy it more than I did.  
It is good but I found it is just not for me.  

If you have a child who loves Transformers cartoons they will most likely enjoy this one. It makes a great holiday gift.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy Review

The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. 


 From DreamWorks Animation, the studio that brought you “Shrek,” “Kung Fu Panda” and “The Croods,” comes the highly anticipated sequel to the Academy Award®-nominated HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, based on the children’s book series by Cressida Cowell. In the thrilling second chapter of the epic trilogy, five years have passed since the heroic young Viking Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) befriended an injured dragon and forever changed the way the residents of Berk interact with the fire-breathers. Now, Vikings and dragons live side-by-side in peace on the fantastical isle that has been transformed into a dragon’s paradise.
But when grown-up responsibilities loom on the horizon, Hiccup and his faithful dragon Toothless take to the skies in search of answers. It’s much more than he bargained for, though, when Hiccup discovers that a mysterious dragon rider is really his long-lost mother Valka (Academy Award®-winning actress Cate Blanchett) and that the peace between dragons and Vikings is threatened by the power-hungry Drago (Academy Award-nominated actor Djimon Hounsou) with help from the dragon trapper Eret, son of Eret (“Game of Thrones” actor Kit Harington).
As Astrid (America Ferrera), Gobber (Craig Ferguson) and Viking friends Snotlout (Jonah Hill), Fishlegs (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and twins Ruffnut (Kristen Wiig) and Tuffnut (T.J. Miller), lend their support, Hiccup, his mother and tribal chief father Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), must work together to protect the dragons they have grown to love. In the process, Hiccup finds the answers he has been looking for in ways he could never have imagined.
DreamWorks Animation SKG proudly presents HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2, featuring the voices of Jay Baruchel, Cate Blanchett, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, Kristen Wiig, Djimon Hounsou and Kit Harington. The film is written and directed by Dean DeBlois (“How to Train Your Dragon,” “Lilo & Stitch”). It is produced by Bonnie Arnold (“How to Train Your Dragon,” “Over the Hedge,” “Tarzan”). The executive producers are Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders (“The Croods,” “How to Train Your Dragon,” “Lilo & Stitch”). The music is by John Powell. This film is rated PG for adventure action and some mild rude humor.

MY THOUGHTS

I loved the first movie and I love the show as well so it was a no brainer that I would want to review How To Train Your Dragon 2.

I couldn't wait to watch it so I popped it in the dvd player yesterday pretty much as soon as I got up.  

This one is just as good as the first movie and as the show. I love that this is a animated movie that everyone can watch and the even adults can enjoy.  It is very well done and I did have a few moments where I did laugh and I was entertained.    

I highly recommend this . 

I give this 5 out of 5

It is fun with challenging puzzles and it has different levels of difficulty so if you aren't really very good at video games or if you don't play video games much it will not be too difficult for you.

I played for a few hours since I have received this game and I did enjoy it. I loved the puzzles, the graphics are pretty good and voice acting is good too (better than some other games I have played).

I give this 4 out of 5
