Blu-Ray Review: ‘I Love You, Beth Cooper’ Inspires Nothing But Hate
Submitted by BrianTT on November 16, 2009 - 11:08amCHICAGO – Chris Columbus is not a filmmaker renowned for his use of subtlety. He seems incapable of telling a relatable human story without relying on his trademark brand of sophomoric slapstick.

With releases like the great one for “WALL-E” and now this gorgeous transfer for “A Bug’s Life,” Disney/Pixar produces HD video clarity that really must be seen to be believed.
