Something exciting actually happened here this past summer in Austin, TX. Hooray! The pilot episode of The Strain premiered at the ATX Television Festival here in June this year. Now although I wasn’t present for its festival premiere, I was able to catch the pilot episode the night it aired this past July on FX […]
The Nightmare Before Christmas has become a widely loved kids film, when it comes to celebrating Halloween. If things go the way they should, The Book of Life is in a nice position to become the film that represents Dia de los Muertos for kids, let alone brings it further into mainstream prominence. Director Jorge […]
Today’s your lucky day and you just don’t know it yet, but I am going to tell you why. It’s with great enthusiasm and joy that I announce to you that this December 2nd you get to experience the first season of TV’s hottest, most blood-curdling sci-fi series from Executive Producers-Writers Guillermo Del Toro, Carlton […]
Here we go with the whole, “We’re a Blu-ray site thing.” Amazon has a solid Gold Box Deal of the Day – Pick up either the Predator Blu-ray bundle pack or the Pacific Rim Collector’s Edition Blu-ray for a low price. Both are over 50% off, making for some great deals. Anyone that is a Predator fan can […]
What an interesting year we had as it presented us with plenty of ammo at both ends of the quality spectrum. We had the horridness known as Machete Kills, as well as the brilliance of films such as J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek sequel. It was also another year of super heroes. Some arrived from the pages […]
So another year has come and gone way too quickly, bringing with it a long list of great movies as well as some I wish I could get the hours of my life back. So with this being said, if you are anything like me, then you have a hard time choosing which movie to […]
We’ve come to it at last…my Top-10 film list for the year 2013. I’ll be upfront about it and say that I did not see most of the major and non-major films of 2013. I am only listing the films that I saw that made an actual impact in my life, for better or for […]
The calendar year of 2013 was a tough one for me in the film department. However, unlike my recent Top 10 Blu-ray list over here, where I struggled to even find ten Blu-rays that I really really liked in 2013 (only leaving off Cloud Atlas), I find myself faced with a smorgasbord of films that […]
Here we go again. Kicking off my Top 10 year-end lists for 2013, here are my Top 10 Blu-rays. These are films that I have been able to really dig into and see them as easy recommendations for anyone with the greatest home media format currently available. The following list is a set of films […]
It’s my turn! No need for a preamble as to what goes into the generalities of crafting these Top 10 lists as the gents before me all did a fine job of explaining. 2012 provided what seemed like all the remaining “Must Have” box sets, leaving 2013 seeming kind of empty handed on the surface. […]
It’s that time again where we come up with our Top-10 Blu-rays of the year. 2013 has come and almost gone and left a path of high definition destruction in its wake. Coincidentally, my Top-10 list features the work of some epic directors, who had a stellar year on the Blu-ray format as most of […]
There were plenty of great releases that arrived on store shelves this year, but let’s be honest. Will any year really compare to what came out in 2012? I mean, last year for Blu-rays was like what 1939 was for cinemas. It was only twelve months ago when the year’s releases included E.T., Jaws, Singin’ […]
Well, it’s that time of the year again and I have volunteered to go first with my Top 10 list of what I feel are MUST-OWN Blu-rays that were released in the calendar year 2013. Now keep in mind, these are not necessarily my favorite movies of the year listed in order, but instead they […]
When my reviewer Gerard Iribe and Aaron Neuwirth (his Comic-Con 2012 coverage here and WonderCon 2013’s here) first brought Pacific Rim to my attention, I wasn’t sold on it at all. The trailer and its crappy narration just felt way too generic for me and although the concept has never been done in this grand […]
Here’s a question…I wonder what’s BIGGER right now? Pacific Rim being announced for a Blu-ray release date of October 15th or its star Charlie Hunnam being casted as playboy Christian Grey in E L James’ Fifty Shades of Grey? Of course, PACIFIC RIM!!! So I’m pleased to make the follwoing news from Warner Bros. Home […]
Obviously several thoughts come to mind when explaining that Pacific Rim is about giant robots fighting giant aliens, which includes properties like Transformers or Godzilla. More importantly, it would seem that one’s mind is probably already made up in regards to how seriously they want to take said premise. Even if one is unsure, the […]

Following The Mist, I was also able to attend another very entertaining scheduled event at the Hero Complex Film Festival, a back-to-back screening of the The Devil’s Backbone and Pan’s Labyrinth. Both are films written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, who provided an hour-long Q&A in between features. For anyone who is familiar with […]
