REVIEW: Muppet Treasure Island & The Great Muppet Caper (Blu-ray)

REVIEW:  Muppet Treasure Island and The Great Muppet Caper (Blu-ray)"A treasure trove of hearty laughs is yours when two of the funniest, most action-packed Muppet movies of all time make their Disney Blu-ray debut in this special star-studded 2-Movie Collection. From the swashbuckling lunacy in Muppet Treasure Island to the jewel-heist hilarity of The Great Muppet Caper, these two classic comedy-adventures are packed with music, mirth, mayhem and, of course, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Animal, Fozzie Bear, the Great Gonzo, and all your Muppet favorites." That's the official description for this Muppet-themed Blu-ray combo pack from Disney.

Basically, these two classic Muppet films have been restored, remastered and transferred to Blu-ray. Similar to what was done with A Muppet Christmas Carol, the Muppet Treasure Island film follows Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale, but of course, with a modern Muppet twist to it. Kermit plays Captain Smollett, Miss Piggy plays Benjamina Gunn (in reference to the original character, Benjamin Gunn), Kevin Bishop plays Jim Hawkins and Tim Curry plays Long John Silver...

REVIEW: The Wolverine (Blu-ray and DVD)

REVIEW: The Wolverine (Blu-ray and DVD)"Hugh Jackman returns as The Wolverine and faces his ultimate nemesis in an action-packed life-or-death battle that takes him to modern-day Japan. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his limits, Logan confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality; an epic fight that will leave him forever changed." That's the official plot for director James Mangold's The Wolverine, now available on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital.

Of course, that description is a bit vague when it comes to what specifically happens in this continuation of the X-Men series of movies. In The Wolverine we are treated to another part of Logan's backstory, although this story actually takes place after the third X-Men movie X-Men: The Last Stand. Devastated by the loss of Jean and his role in her demise, Logan has secluded himself from humanity and now lives alone in the woods. His days of being a hero are over, or so he thinks...
