Here’s a simple claim right off the bat – Zootopia is a true triumph for Disney. The animation studio has had something of a resurgence in recent years with films such as Frozen and Big Hero 6, but Zootopia feels like an actual classic. That is high praise for the Mouse House, but the balance […]
Watching the first 99% of Second Coming is a somewhat pleasant experience. The cinematography is beautiful, with some excellent, tense long takes and a tight, cramped focus in a small apartment that accentuates the intensity of the lives of the three main characters. The performances are strong and full of passion or subtle and full […]
From the director of Taken comes The Gunman, a pulse pounding action thriller starring two-time Academy Award winner Sean Penn. It’s been eight years since Jim Terrier (Penn) worked as a black ops assassin and now someone from his old organization wants him dead. Pursued across Africa and Europe by elite hit men, Terrier is dragged back into […]
The acclaimed HBO crime drama The Wire is now on Blu-ray in its entirety. Yes, there has been a level of controversy surrounding the widescreen remaster for the series, but the fact is – The Wire can now be seen in HD and it is glorious. David Simon’s fantastic series presents five seasons worth of story […]
Do my words here really even matter? In all honesty, it makes no difference if I write this Avengers: Age of Ultron review lazily or as proper and refined as I possibly can. You want to know why? It’s because regardless of what I conjure up here, you’re still all going to put your money down at the ticket window this […]
Two-time Academy Award® winner Sean Penn (Milk, Mystic River) is the object of a deadly international manhunt in the pulse-pounding thriller The Gunman, coming to Digital HD on June 16, 2015 and on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD as well as On Demand on June 30, 2015 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. The latest nail-biting adventure from director Pierre […]
The poster for this dull home invasion thriller states, “From the Producers of Obsessed,” which gives a pretty good idea of what anyone is getting into with No Good Deed. I say that meaning the viewer is either aware Obsessed was a really bad, trashy-type thriller or that they don’t even know the movie being […]
Well this took me by surprise. Sean Penn has decided to join Liam Neeson and Denzel Washington in the realm of ‘high class’ actors doing crazy, B-level action movies. It helps that Penn is aided by a strong supporting cast. Check this out: Open Road Films is proud to share the OFFICIAL TRAILER for the new […]
One of the best shows…well, ever, is coming to Blu-ray. The Wire is both one of the greatest TV shows of all time and also one of the least represented when it comes to all the Emmys and Golden Globes it should have won. With that in mind, the expansion of HBO’s availability at least […]
Remember when this movie happened? Golden Globe® winner Idris Elba (Best Actor in a Mini-Series, TV’s “Luther”, 2012) and Academy Award® nominee Taraji P. Henson (Best Supporting Actress, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, 2008) headline the hair-raising thriller NO GOOD DEED, coming to Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital HD on Jan. 6 from Sony Pictures Home […]

Both are over 50% off, making for some great deals. Anyone that is a Predator fan can […]
It is always very difficult to put together a biopic based on the story of individuals who were able to accomplish so much and live such large lives. Steven Spielberg figured out a way to do it with his take on Abraham Lincoln, in Lincoln, as he focused on a very specific time frame. Clint […]
Here is a clip from a new deleted scene from Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World, one of two new deleted scenes now available exclusively on Disney Movies Anywhere. Disney Movies Anywhere is Disney’s all-new, cloud-based digital movie service that enables consumers to discover, purchase, and watch movies from Disney, Pixar, and Marvel. Don’t forget, THOR: […]
The second film in Marvel’s “Phase 2”, Thor: The Dark World, is coming your way on Blu-ray. I was a bigger fan than most on the original Thor, and I really think that film was a good set up with the characters and introduction to the Thor-verse to take it to another level with this […]
While it did not end up as a favorite of the year for me, Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom was a commendable effort, thanks to the very good performances from both Idris Elba and Naomie Harris. Now the film will be available for all, come March 18th. Here’s some official info: Nelson Mandela’s extraordinary journey […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
