‘The Incredible Burt Wonderstone’: Illusionist Or One-Trick Pony? (Movie Review)
March 15th, 2013 by Aaron Neuwirth
Here is a movie that has a promising premise that could have been better pulled off if it was either structured differently or came out a decade earlier. The idea of competing magicians in Las Vegas is a good one, but The Incredible Burt Wonderstone does not quite have a script to really pull off [...]

November 27th, 2012 by Blu-ray Brian
Although I’m not a huge fan of animated films or of Adam Sandler comedies in general, I couldn’t resist the bite of Hotel Transylvania. I loved it! It was what they would refer to as a ghoulishly good time. And now I get to relive it all over again next January. Isn’t life good? Sure [...]

For a Ghoulishly Good Time: Hotel Transylvania (Movie Review)
September 27th, 2012 by Brian White
This is going to be a very easy review for me to blow through simply because both the monster horror fan AND the kid in me had an absolute ghoulishly good time with this one. Of course I’m referring to the 3-D computer animated comedy from Sony Pictures Animation, Hotel Transylvania, hitting theaters this Friday, [...]

Rampart (Movie Review)
March 1st, 2012 by Scott Wampler
If you’re going to make a movie about cops, you’ve got a few templates to choose from: you can do the “Rookie Story”, where you follow an up-and-comer through the ranks as he achieves his goal of becoming a decorated police officer; you can go the “Grizzled Detective” route, and put an embittered, brilliant detective [...]

From Terence Winter, Emmy Award-winning writer of The Sopranos, and executive producer Martin Scorsese, comes the lavish and addictive HBO drama Boardwalk Empire that re-creates the glitter and decadence of 1920′s Atlantic City at a time when Prohibition proved to be a major catalyst in the rise of organized crime in America.

Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams (Blu-ray Review)
August 17th, 2011 by Aaron Neuwirth
I am a big fan of filmmaker Robert Rodriguez; however, I never quite made the plunge to go and see his “kids” films. While Rodriguez has made some pretty hard R-rated features in his time (Desperado, From Dusk til Dawn, Sin City), he has also let his wild imagination carve himself out a niche in [...]

From the Academy Award-winning Coen brothers, The Big Lebowski is a hilariously quirky comedy about bowling, a [...]
The Island (Blu-ray Review)
June 13th, 2011 by Gerard Iribe
The Island was a bit of a surprise, because I wasn’t really expecting it when it arrived. I’m not complaining, mind you. The Island is a futuristic science fiction film directed by Michael Bay. Yes, that Michael Bay. The guy that directed Bad Boys, Transformers, The Rock, etc. I missed it in theaters upon release. [...]
The Big Lebowski Limited Edition Blu-ray is Coming August 16!
May 24th, 2011 by Sean Ferguson
From the Academy Award-winning Coen brothers, The Big Lebowski is a hilariously quirky comedy about bowling, a severed toe, White Russians and a guy named…The Dude. Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski doesn’t want any drama in his life…heck, he can’t even be bothered with a job. But, he must embark on a quest with his [...]
‘The Island’ Debuts on Blu-ray June 21st
April 5th, 2011 by Gerard Iribe
Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson star in The Island, Michael Bay’s take on a dystopian future. The inhabitants of the island think that they live on it due to the rest of the planet being uninhabitable. It’s much more than that. The Island marked Michael Bay’s first project that was not produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. [...]
El Mariachi/Desperado (Blu-ray Review)
January 13th, 2011 by Gerard Iribe
The Robert Rodriguez library on Blu-ray continues to expand. Columbia Pictures proudly present: the first two films in the Robert Rodriguez “Mexican” trilogy. It’s only fitting that a real Mexican was tasked with (okay I volunteered) to review the Rodriguez Mariachi series on Blu-ray. Once again, this will be a cumulative review, but I will [...]

You read about it in Rebel Without A Crew and now for the first time EVER, Robert Rodriguez’s El Mariachi comes home to the Blu-ray format on January 4th. Actually, all three movies in the trilogy will see a same day Blu-ray release. Exciting, huh?! I have been waiting a long time to see El [...]
