The sale at Teefury began at midnight EST (November 13, 2010) and will continue for 24 hours, but once it's over, it's gone forever, so grab it now if you want it.

| Flashback Movie Review: In America Posted: 12 Nov 2010 01:30 PM PST  In America DVD Directed by Jim Sheridan Starring Sarah Bolger, Emma Bolger, Paddy Considine, Djimon Hounsou, Samantha Morton 2003 A little girl by the name of Christy (Sarah Bolger) comes to America, Manhattan specifically, from Ireland and captures everything on her little red camcorder. She tapes anything she finds interesting, and that can be a lot. This camcorder sees everything from normal people walking the streets of Manhattan, a little girl beautifully singing Desperado, and even the end of days for two people she dearly loves. She lies on the top bunk, younger sister Ariel (Emma Bolger) on the bottom, and replays these happenings every night on her little video screen. Some movies shake our emotions, others give us goosebumps, others even make us feel an overwhelming sense of joy but it's a rarity that one single movie can possess all three of these golden qualities. In America (2003) is that rarity. It works mainly because of the performances but mostly due to the fact that director Jim Sheridan (My Left Foot) handles the movie with such delicacy and care because he dedicates this film to his younger brother Frankie who went through a battle with cancer. With that said he creates a realm of reality so personal that the least this movie can do to the human body is to resonate through its soul [...]      |
| ‘Call Of Duty: Black Ops’ Out Sells ‘Modern Warfare 2′ On Its First Day Posted: 12 Nov 2010 10:17 AM PST  Activision, the publisher behind the Call of Duty franchise, has released sales data for the newest entry in the series, Call of Duty: Black Ops, which was released on November 9, 2010. This sales data covers the first 24 hours that Call of Duty: Black Ops was on sale, and only in North America and the United Kingdom. In 24 hours, in just those two areas, this game sold 5.6 million copies, earning about $360 million in profit for the developers. To put it in context, last year, when Modern Warfare 2 was released, Activision made a huge deal about its sales numbers. Black Ops sold almost a million more units on day one. These are astounding figures, and I can't wait to see the first week's numbers, which should come out on Monday [...]      |
| DVD Review: Until The Light Takes Us Posted: 12 Nov 2010 09:36 AM PST  Until The Light Takes Us DVD | 2-Disc DVD | Blu-Ray Directed by Aaron Aites and Audrey Ewell Starring Gylve "Fenriz" Nagell, Varg Vikernes, Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Blomberg, Kjetil "Frost" Haraldstad Factory 25 Released: October 19, 2010 It was the early 1990s, and for metalheads, change was in the air. "Alternative" was the buzz word being bandied about by music marketing, Grunge had taken over the charts, new bands and new sounds were coming... but among metal fans there was a desire to search and find something new and something different -- and many were looking for more extreme and brutal movements. Enter the Norwegian Black Metal movement. A lot of metal fans were first introduced to this scene when news hit international media of Varg Vikernes (Burzum) being arrested and tried for burning a number of churches across Norway. The media across the world had a field day with the story, labeling the initially underground movement of Black Metal being driven by "Satanic" influences. The crimes, the deaths, and the church burnings quickly became identifiable with the Black Metal movement from Norway; but it opened up a new surge of followers that established the sound of Norwegian Black Metal as an integral and significant part of the history of metal in general [...]      |
| Blu-ray Review: ‘Back To The Future’ 25th Anniversary Trilogy Posted: 12 Nov 2010 07:26 AM PST  Back To The Future 25th Anniversary Trilogy Blu-ray Edition Directed by Robert Zemeckis Starring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover, Mary Steenburgen, Thomas F. Wilson, Elisabeth Shue Universal Studios Home Entertainment Release Date: October 26, 2010 Every decade there is a movie or a series of movies that just blow us away. One set of films in the 80s did just that and became the greatest time travel trilogy ever. We are talking about Back To The Future directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg. I am a huge fan of this trilogy. While Part II is not the best of the bunch, my favorite movie would have to be the first one. It's my favorite because of how original the concept is. What would it be like to travel back in time and run into your parents when they are just teenagers? I think it would be fun to see my dad owning people in football like he did when he was younger. I would also like to see what it was like for my mom to be raised by my grandma. This first film opens up the thoughts of what would you do if you did run into your parents? What would you say? I love all the jokes in this film and how real these characters are. But, my favorite character in the entire trilogy is the time-travel machine, the DeLorean, because it truly does take on a life of its own. For those of you not familiar with the trilogy, here's a rundown of what each film is about [...]      |
