T.O.S. Violation? ME????

Well folks, I got the dreaded 'T.O.S. Violation' notice today. Looks like I'll be having to re-structure my future reviews a bit as a result.

This is especially irritating, since I JUST finished a special 35-minute Christmas Edition of the Multimedia Chronicles, in which I talk about (and show clips from) some of my favorite Christmas movies as a gift to you all.

Guess I'll just post it on my website, but unfortunately that will now have to be put off until AFTER Christmas... So much for being topical.

Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. I only EVER used clips within the context of my reviews, which are technically NEWS items and thus any clips used within the CONTEXT of that news item falls well within "Fair Use" under U.S. copyright law.

Anyway, this is my quickly thrown-together rant video about it. Beautiful high definition text set to gloomy music by yours truly. Enjoy.

And have yourselves a great holiday! See you all in a few days...

Blackstar Complete Series DVD Review

In many ways, Blackstar was the pre-cursor to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. An under appreciated little gem from Filmation, I've always actually preferred Blackstar over He-Man.

The complete series was recently released on DVD by BCI Eclipse, and for such an obscure series that few people know about, they really gave it the royal treatment! Let's take a closer look, shall we?

Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers Collection DVD Review

Next to Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, this is without a doubt one of the MOST underrated cartoons of the 80's. An epic sci-fi western, it featured some of the finest writing for an animated series of the era.

And at LONG LAST, the complete series is available on DVD in the originally intended viewing order, with all continuity and storylines intact.

Here's my in-depth look at the first of the two DVD sets that make up the full run of the series. Enjoy!
