The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
A wonderful, little film: Academy Award® nominee John Lithgow (Best Supporting Actor, Terms of Endearment, 1984) and Alfred Molina (The Normal Heart) star in Sony Pictures Classics’ poignant, modern-day love story, LOVE IS STRANGE, available on Digital HD Jan. 6, and debuting on Blu-ray™ and DVD Jan. 13 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. After nearly […]
I remember it like it was only yesterday. The year was 2006. It was a cold, blistery night in the month of December in Cleveland, OH. I had just taken lunch at my third shift job and ventured out into the tundra to hit up Wal-Mart. I was literally one patron away from scoring a Sony PlayStation […]
I tend to enjoy seeing process be put on display in film. A lot of times that applies to crime dramas or heist films, where you see the way things play out in a wordless manner, involving a lot of the inner workings of certain activities. Love Is Strange, a film that is not remotely close to […]
I don’t know who or what a Justin and the Knights of Valor is. The Blu-ray cover artwork indicates that it’s a CGI animated film and that Antonio Banderas presents it. Upon further inspection I see the voice talents of some of my favorite actors in the mix. Ok, now we’re talking. I decided to review the Blu-ray […]
I have to admit, I was a huge fan of Heavenly Sword back in the early Sony PlayStation 3 days when this game made its debut. The graphics and gameplay were simply amazing and till this day it’s still one of the games I managed to keep in my very small PS3 collection. But low […]

After scaring up big laughs in theaters, the in-home release of Monsters University opens its doors to the movie in stunning high definition Blu-ray, and provides hours of all-new bonus material, in-depth behind the scenes features, deleted scenes, the animated theatrical short “The Blue Umbrella” and much more. Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (voice of […]

I wonder how many of my reviews for Pixar films begin with how I approach their studio with a lot of faith, given their track record. The notion to mention favorites from the beloved animation studio is also a tendency. It really should not matter and maybe in another 5-10 years, they will be just […]
2002’s Frida would be Salma Hayek’s passion project finally come to fruition after so many years of rejections. She obviously had to pay her dues and build herself up as an actress and producer to get this done. Just because you’re hot in this town doesn’t mean you can always get what you want. It […]
Writer/Director Julie Taymor has returned to cinema with her latest visual feast for the eyes and the soul in William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. If you’re not familiar with Ms. Taymor then let me reacquaint you with her style. She had previously written and directed Titus, Frida, and Across the Universe. The Tempest marks her fourth […]
I was very curious about Rango when it hit theaters, but for whatever reason, I was not able to catch it on the big screen. People kept telling me that since I’m a big western film buff that I would love it, because it in fact IS a western. So far, so good! The theatrical […]
Not often can I recommend a movie for the entire family to see together. Many movies are niched to a specific audience and age demographic, and many times parents struggle to find something everyone can enjoy. RANGO fits this bill nicely. Gore Verbinski has assembled a winning team of voices for the animated […]
I recently had the chance to talk about this film with it’s director, Jon Turteltaub which you can read here and now I’ve had the chance to watch his movie on Blu-ray to see the finished result. I wasn’t sure how the movie would turn out as it was based on the most popular cartoon […]
I had the good fortune to be allowed to participate in a round-table discussion with the Director of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (and the National Treasure series) to promote the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD releases of the movie. A lot of times, it’s hard to get a lot of questions answered either due to the quantity […]
I was very happy to get this movie to review as I had missed it in the theaters and I was excited to see what Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney could do after their last swashbuckling effort resulted in the Pirates of the Caribbean series which I loved. You see, I have a serious weakness for […]
I love talking about this film. Anytime I can talk about the lovely Gemma Arterton, I’m a happy man. And she looks absolutely stunning in Disney’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time…and the movie wasn’t bad either (insert smile). So it gives me great pleasure to announce that Disney has set a September 14th […]
