Hansel & Gretel Slay The Blu-ray Format on June 11th

Honestly, I’m not sure what to expect with Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.  And to be completely honest, I’m only wanting to see it for one exclusive reason…the beautiful Tamara Drewe…oops I mean Gemma Arterton is in it.  Basically…you put her in anything and I will want to watch it.  Even Evil Dead!  Heck…even Famke [...]

This April Schwarzenegger is Back and Better Than Ever In ‘The Last Stand’ On Blu-ray

So this past winter has seen the release of action films from a lot of the action starts, old and new.  I did not expect The Last Stand to be the best of the bunch, but given that A Good Day to Die Hard was a huge bust and Stallone couldn’t quite land a Bullet [...]

Stick Around And Watch Arnold’s ‘Last Stand’ (Movie Review)

In 1993, Hong Kong film director John Woo made his American feature film debut with Hard Target, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme.  That film is not very good as a whole, but the action is solid and one can see Woo’s signature style lurking beneath what is essentially a studio-produced action film, with a bit more [...]

WonderCon 2012: Lockout

Really, this movie should just be called Space Jail, which will probably not be the last time I mention that in writing, as I am kind of excited to see this mindlessly fun-looking sci-fi/action flick.  WonderCon presented a whole panel devoted to the upcoming release from Open Road Films, Lockout, which takes place in the [...]

Henry’s Crime (Blu-ray Review)

I was hoping for more from a little arthouse flick about a bank robbery and the art of theater.  It seemed like a nice change in pace for Keanu Reeves, who can be capable when he isn’t being openly mocked (some would say unfairly).  Plus, Vera Farmiga and James Caan were on hand as co-stars [...]
