Introducing The DVD Shelf Mini Reviews!

I hope you’ve all been enjoying my first 13 episodes of The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews so far.  It’s been a blast making them, but I do realize that they tend to run a bit long.  20-30 minutes can be an eternity when it comes to sitting at your computer watching an internet show.  So, for those of you without much time to spare, welcome to The DVD Shelf Mini Reviews, where I review a movie’s DVD or Blu-Ray in just 90 seconds.  In this premiere episode, I won’t be reviewing a movie, but I will be taking 90 seconds to give a little introduction to my new series, then I’ll begin reviewing films starting with episode 2.  Don’t worry, though, because my next full-length DVD Shelf Movie Review is also on its way!

The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews: Christopher Nolan's Following

In this episode, we’ll be taking a look at the very first film from director Christopher Nolan, Following – a black and white thriller that set the stage for his later hit films including Memento, The Dark Knight, and Inception.  And if this episode seems a little bizarre, don’t adjust your monitors - I’ve just barrowed some of Nolan’s signature time manipulation tricks to help tell his story.  The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews is hosted by David Rose.  All this and more at your online destination where movies are celebrated, not incinerated!

Help prevent the passing of the SOPA and PIPA laws!

Like millions of others around the web, I'm fully against the passing of these two ridiculous laws, since like many others, they will affect this site, throwing away the hours upon hours I've spent putting together the content. It's no mystery that my videos and art incorporate many already existing properties of which I'm a fan.  And there's no harm in what I do.  I don't pirate movies or music.  I incorporate them into a movie review web series I work incredibly hard on that devotes itself to promote all the movies I review! People watch my videos and I recommend good films. It's a win/win for me and the movie studios! But these laws could possibly end all that, putting tons of folks who make a living on the web, out of work.  I never get political, but follow the link HERE and sign a petition to help protect our constitutional rights and HappyDragonPictures.com!

The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews: The Great Outdoors

With the holidays behind us, all we have now is cold weather and snow to deal with.  Thanks, January!  So, in the midst of fighting a pulverizing head cold, I shake off the snow and ice by looking at the classic 1988 summer vacation comedy, The Great Outdoors, starring Dan Aykroyd and John Candy.  We’ll also take brief glimpses into the careers of both Aykroyd and Candy, along with the film’s screenwriter – legendary writer-producer-director, John Hughes.  All this and more at your online destination where movies are celebrated, not incinerated!

Batman: The Animated Series Intro in HD

For all of you fans out there of my other HD remakes of other classic franchises, here is the mother-load. The original opening title sequence for the 1992 Batman animated series is perfect, simple as that.  But, still, there is always some fun experimentation to be had when re-creating that kind of perfection to HD. So, for now, here is a video exclusive to the Happy Dragon Pictures website.  You won't find this on YouTube until Episode 10 of The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews is completed (wink, wink).

The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews: After Hours

Griffin Dunne plays Paul, a normal guy who is having the worst night of his life. We'll look at how this little cult film revitalized Martin Scorsese's career as a director and then we'll look at the film's DVD and bonus features.
