The latest entertainment news in Blu-ray, movies, games, comics and more…
To me, 2011 was a pretty unusual year. I say that because I found there to be an unusual amount of great films that came out in both the realm of mainstream feature films and the realm of art house and independent features. This year, like any year, had its share of duds as well, [...]
Buckle up for thrilling edge-of-your-seat action and laugh-out-loud fun in Disney’s G-Force as this elite team of highly trained guinea pigs leaps off the screen and right into your living room. Just as the G-Force is about to save the world, the F.B.I. shuts the secret unit down. But these next-generation action heroes won’t be [...]
James Caan (The Godfather), Nicolas Cage (Face/Off) and Sarah Jessica Parker (“Sex in the City”) are three sides of a deliriously funny triangle that gambles with an off beat premise and hits the jackpot with big laughs! Jack Singer (Cage) is terrified of commitment but even more terrified of losing his beautiful school teacher fiancée [...]
Among the biggest things at San Diego Comic Con this year, people were heavily anticipating panels for Spielberg and The Adventures of Tintin, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and of course Twilight. Another widely anticipated event would be the reveal of new footage from the upcoming Spider-Man film. During the Sony Pictures panel on [...]
I was recently disappointed in Nicolas Cage after viewing Drive Angry. That combined with a growing history of dissatisfying films like Ghost Rider made me think that Nicolas Cage just doesn’t turn down movie roles anymore. This makes me sad to say because I’ve been a fan of Cage for a long time. When I [...]
Drive Angry has made this Nicolas Cage fan very angry. I’m angry at Nicolas Cage for seemingly being unable or unwilling to turn down a movie role. Listening to the audio commentary, the director says Nicolas Cage read the script and said “I have to do this movie.” Saturday Night Live (SNL) does a skit [...]
Wow, two seriously messed up relationship films in a row for this humble reviewer must be a record! (Betty Blue would be the other one) That’s okay, because when it comes to Blu-ray my gluttonous tendencies know no bounds. Years before he would actually be considered insane in some circles Nicolas Cage was out there [...]
Norman Jewison’s Moonstruck paved the way for other culturally focused comedies like My Big Fat Greek Wedding where the story revolves around a large family who loves, fights, and eats together. In this case, the movie is about the Castorini family, an Italian brood that sticks together despite some problems which include infidelity, curses, and [...]
This is strange, but I am going to have to both judge this movie, while defending Piranha 3D. I think Piranha was the kind of film where I could have written the exact same review and assign it either a 1 star or a 4 star rating (which is what I ended up doing). That [...]
The calendar year of 2010 started off a little rough, in my opinion, for the world of movies. It was a little too rough, if you don’t mind me saying. Anyway, it was not until the month of March that I saw the first film I deemed worthy of even talking about, Shutter Island. Needless [...]
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’m finally scraping the bottom of the barrel with all my Comic-Con 2010 coverage, but that doesn’t mean the following stories are any less important than the others. I usually save some of the best for last. Usually. Drive Angry 3D is a hard R-rated action/adventure that was filmed in Real 3D and proudly features [...]
To say that I was not looking forward to the April 16th theatrical release date of Kick-Ass would be like saying that I would rather watch a DVD of my favorite film over its superior Blu-ray counterpart. It’s just not going to happen. And now that my number four film of the year is coming [...]
I cannot wait for August 3rd, despite hating wishing the summer away, for Kick-Ass to arrive on the Blu-ray format. Currently my #4 movie of the year, I have no doubt that Kick-Ass will deliver a powerful punch on the Blu-ray format. I received an email last week on behalf of Lionsgate promoting a clip [...]
Can you believe it? We are now almost 3 months away from one of the biggest movies that will drop this year…KICK-ASS! Yes, Avatar and Iron Man 2 may have been the talk of the town during Comic-Con 2009, but the real hidden gem that made it’s presence known with ferocity and comedic genius was [...]
