The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
First off, I wanted to let everyone know that Warner Bros. did not supply this 4K UHD Blu-ray for me to review, but instead I purchased it myself out of my love and affinity for the Rocky franchise, and most recently Creed in this case (as I simply could not resist that gorgeous, awe-inspiring black […]
In a year where four video game adaptations will be coming our way, Ratchet & Clank does not exactly win the gold medal for being the best, but it does do enough to be one of the more sufficient ones. The popular Insomniac Games series has made its way to the big screen and has […]
Good news! There is a very good chance Ratchet & Clank could turn out to be the very best video game adaptation ever. It’s not a high bar to clear, but there does seem to be a lot here that shows a fun movie that easily captures the spirit of the game. A lot of that […]
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 or just […]
Hell yeah! Here we have some Top 10 news! See why your legacy is more than a name when Creed arrives onto Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital HD. From Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema comes award-winning filmmaker Ryan Cooler’s Creed. The film reunites Coogler with his Fruitvale Station star Michael B. Jordan as […]
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 […]

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 […]
Led by a stellar ensemble cast, the inspirational dramedy REACH ME tells interwoven stories from a diverse group of people who are united by one thing a powerful book from an anonymous and reclusive author (Tom Berenger). When the book’s positive message goes viral, a journalist (Kevin Connolly) and his editor (Sylvester Stallone), a former inmate (Kyra Sedgwick), a […]
Way back when I wrote my theatrical review of The Expendables 3 I talked about how I initially promised myself I would have nothing to do with this movie after I learned about the abysmal PG-13 rating the filmmakers trimmed it down to be to comply with requirements of the much feared MPAA in order to get […]
The Expendables 3, the third explosive film in the action-packed franchise, arrives with a never-before-seen Unrated Extended Edition (surprise, surprise) on Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus Digital HD) and On Demand November 25th from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. News flash for the peeps who don’t care about physical possessions in life. The Expendables 3 will be available in Digital HD […]
This is the one movie I promised myself I would have nothing to do with after I learned about the abysmal PG-13 rating the filmmakers trimmed it down to be to comply with requirements of the much feared MPAA in order to get it out to a wider audience (more about that later). If it […]
At this point in the Expendables franchise, it seems apparent that there is little understanding as to how to really deliver on what could make these films true action delights. The story means little to me in these films, the presence of all the big name action heroes is more important than their acting, but […]
Did you miss me? No? Well eff you too, pal! Haha. Like it or not, I’m back. I had only planned to take one week off and it wound up being too (not by design). For the next 5 weeks we’re going to be doing a ‘Countdown To EXPENDABLES III’ with the Wishlist. Each week […]
First you had the team ups of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger and now comes the epic team up of Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro in the comedy-actioner Grudge Match. I missed this in theaters but thought the trailer and marketing materials were hilarious. I was bummed out that it was PG-13 and was even more […]
Honestly, when this came out theatrically last year, I wanted nothing to do with it really. Then, surprisingly, mostly positive reviews poured in. I kind of felt like it’s a spoof on the Rocky franchise as well as Raging Bull, two legendary boxing sagas, so that’s kind of why I avoided it. But that’s childish, right? […]
When I first got word of this new Blu-ray box set, Rocky Heavyweight Collection, and its eligibility up for review, I thought long and hard to myself. Do I have the strength to endure throughout this review, but not only that, can I do the Blu-ray box set justice? The Rocky franchise contains some of […]
We have given away some pretty big Blu-ray prizes here on the site over the years, but nothing compares in my opinion to what’s up for grabs in today’s BIG announcement. When I think of America, pride in my country and the ability to rise up against all odds and become the greatest you possibly […]
