The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
It’s that time of the year again. I generally hate this time of the year not because of the holidays, but because it means nothing but cold and deadness outside and in a reviewer’s world, the dreaded TOP 10 Favorite Films lists as well. Last year there was an influx of good movies released theatrically (IMO) making […]
I’m not sure where I was or what I was doing when I first heard news of a Rocky spinoff, but you better believe my reaction was a series of enthusiastic fist pumps into the air. And for anyone that still has a flip phone, locked up in a house against their will in Cleveland, OH […]
If the entire running time of Fantastic Four was a mess and a slog, it would be much easier to write about. But because the film gets so much right in it’s first 45 minutes, talking about it becomes extremely frustrating. The film is a clear example of project that tragically derailed and no one knew […]
Let’s forget about whether this is a good film or not for a minute. In my opinion, here’s a motion picture that should have never been made. I understand all the reasons why it was made, the rights involved, securing the property and what not, but come on, really. Do the trailers for this new Fantastic […]
When your legacy is more than a name, what do you do? Of course I’m talking about the one and only Rocky Balboa and his arch nemesis in the first two films, Apollo Creed. Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your hats. Rocky is back! Don’t worry. He’s not doing the fighting this time. Haha. It […]
In the age we live in, it is unfortunate that getting a mainstream superhero movie’s trailer less than a year (or at least 9 months) in advance is some sign of trouble. For various reasons, despite the success of director Josh Trank’s Chronicle and the presence of proven acting talents in the form of Miles Teller (Whiplash, […]
A few days ago I was discussing the HBO series Entourage with some friends and going over how it began as a fairly entertaining series, but eventually amounted to some conflict that could be extinguished with the simple mantra of, “Vince and the gang are going to be alright.” The show mainly relied on the […]
It was a big year, but somehow I managed to put together a list of my favorite films of 2013. I have to say that this was once again not the easiest list to put together. Theatrically, I have seen 150+ films this year, so there were a lot of films to consider and figure […]
Let’s get one thing straight. Ordinarily, this is not a film I would watch. Right off the bat it has a couple strikes against as far as movies that I would find appealing. Let’s take this flick’s trailer for instance. Yawn. I was bored out of my mind when I first saw it and I […]
All I know is this movie is supposed to be da bomb! I have yet to see it yet, but all my reviewer friends had nothing but mad praise for this one. So Fruitvale Station is in my future on the Blu-ray format and now it’s in yours too! Every step will bring you closer […]
It must be hard to be so simple. Fruitvale Station has the feel of a very straightforward film, were one to break it down into its basic structure. We follow one man throughout his day. We see where he lives, whom he interacts with, and it all ends on a tragic note. It also happens […]
On July 30th, everyone will get a chance to see an all new DC Universe Animated Original Movie. I already had the chance to see the upcoming Superman: Unbound, which I found to be quite good (Review HERE) and frankly, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has been putting out some quality features in this department for […]
If Superman: The Movie made you believe a man could fly, Chronicle will make you believe that three boys can hold their own up in the air as well. Chronicle is a pretty entertaining story about a group of high school kids that discover superpowers. That the film has the added quality of being shot […]
Besides Cabin in the Woods, the other movie that totally surprised me this year was Chronicle. Even though I’m not a huge fan of these handy cam movies, I have to admit when things are done right, and by golly…Chronicle was done right! Chronicle asks the magic question…what are you capable of? The Blu-ray, featuring […]

George Lucas reinvented the world of science fiction in 1977 with Star Wars Episode IV, spending around $40 million of present-day currency to produce the lucratively profitable space epic. He was 33 when Greedo didn’t shoot first and still a god among geeks. At 30 years and with $30 million, director Neil Blomkamp gave us […]
