Titanic (4K UHD Blu-ray Review)

It feels a movie of Titanic’s fame, fortune and history would be a title that releases quicker to each new home video format. However, they come from a filmmaker who cares about his home video releases and its gotta go by him when he’s ready and free. That filmmaker is James Cameron who has been […]

My Best Friend Is A Vampire – Collector’s Series (Blu-ray Review)

The Vestron Video Collector’s Series is one that pops up with a surprise throughout the year then vanishes. There are leaks with them, but nothing the likes of some of the boutique labels can have. A lot of this series has tickled my fancy with bringing titles that I remember VHS boxes at the rental […]

Straight Time (Blu-ray Review)

The 1970s were not short on films serving as character studies of some of the more ruthless individuals. The anti-heroes as we like to call them. 1978 saw Dustin Hoffman playing an ex-con freshly released from prison who just couldn’t keep away from the people and the life in Straight Time. As heralded as the […]

‘Richard Jewell’ The Nation Finds You… (Movie Review)

So I went to see Richard Jewell (2019) earlier this week. I remember seeing the trailer a month ago or so and being pretty intrigued by the premise of the film. What attracted me the most was the fact that the film was based on a true story… A true story I was unaware of, […]

Richard Jewell Is Bare Bones Reporting (Movie Review)

Clint Eastwood’s latest film to tackle a hero who was unfairly scrutinized in the public eye is, for better or worse, exactly what you think it is. The story of a would-be lawman whose instincts to be overly cautious led to the discovery of a bomb that could have killed hundreds at a music fest […]

‘Come Back To The 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean’ [Eureka! Masters of Cinema] on Blu-ray & DVD July 22, 2019!

Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean is one of the wonderful highlights of an under-appreciated chapter of director Robert Altman’s career. Between the box office disappointment of Popeye (1980) and the explosive comeback of The Player (1992), Altman returned to lower-budgeted, independent filmmaking, often boldly experimenting with how theatre work […]

Bad Santa 2 – Unrated (4K UHD Blu-ray Review)

Bad Santa has been a Christmas tradition in my family since 2004.  You see we don’t have any kids of my own and nor do I want any.  We have three dogs and they are enough work, bills and responsibility.  The best kind of kids in my opinion are other peoples’ kids, but I digress.  My […]

American Horror Story: Freak Show (Blu-ray Review)

I’ve seen a few episodes of the first season and I gotta admit I really wasn’t impressed.  The whole over-the-top concept seemed really silly to me. There were also a few story-lines in the first season that seemed rather forced and generic. But I feel like this go-round they’re really trying to develop and endear you […]

Tammy (Blu-ray Review)

If there is one film that deservingly has the right and proudly should be able to give the middle finger write at box office pundits (that don’t write for Forbes), its Tammy.  This $20 million budgeted “one for me” film opening with a good $21 million opening weekend over 4th of July and because it […]

Tammy Is Sad, Messy, and Occasionally Endearing (Movie Review)

It is unfortunate that Tammy does not quite work overall.  Here we have a character-based, R-rated comedy, featuring a large number of female characters, with ideas that extend beyond big-budgeted set pieces, and it is arriving in theaters just in time for the Fourth of July.  Melissa McCarthy fans may certainly enjoy the opportunity given […]

Titanic (Blu-ray Review)

Boy, does time fly when you’re reviewing anything and everything in between. It’s only been 15 years since Titanic opened in theaters to critical and box-office acclaim cementing  the careers of a certain director (not that it hadn’t already been cemented in place, but carte blanche would be given for every project thereafter) and a […]
