Better Home Equipment One of the bigger selling points to the current 3D movement was that it gave audiences something they couldn’t get at home. A good idea, in theory, but one that ignored a small issue: maybe what’s at home  is better than anything offered at the multiplex. Extra dimensions or not. “I also refuse to pay for 3D now, period,”  wrote commenter Maureen Lucas . “Sadly, I noticed when watching ‘Transformers 3′ on Blu-ray last week that it looked  better on my TV than [when I saw it in] non-3D movie theater.” Ticket prices are high enough as it is without 3D, but paying for something that –  despite James Cameron’s protests — doesn’t really offer anything special to the viewing experience is a turn-off. Especially with home entertainment centers becoming so technically advanced. CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL LIST:

REVIEW: Seth Rogen Meets Brit Fizz in Smart, Saucy Alien Tale Paul

Maybe it’s a Canadian thing. Like his countryman, Kiefer Sutherland, Seth Rogen has a voice that’s 10 years older than he is — a combination of world-weariness and exuberance, an instrument that he’s mastered for specific comic shadings. Sutherland wrings anger and shock from the premature gray in his, and by the time 24 ended, he’d physically caught up with the age emanating from his larynx. In the likable, misfits-on-the road comedy Paul , Rogen’s soulful rustiness is used for the sound of the intergalactic traveler. With it, he lays a claim to being one of the premier vocal talents of his generation.
