Memory on this one is very hazy. It was many many moons and video store trips ago that I saw this. But, what attracted me to this one was that it had Robert England and was from the director of Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers (Dwight H. Little). This version of Phantom Of The Opera also employs one of my all time favorite scream queens in Jill Schoelen. You might remember her from stuff like The Stepfather, Cutting Class or Popcorn. One of the best things going for this Phantom Of The Opera is that it does not feature Gerard Butler singing! Scream Factory is putting it out with an all new behind the scenes featurette, which I always really enjoy digging into those. Especially this one will have a lot of the major players brought back. Its coming out on February 17th (Originally planned for January for those who don’t follow Scream Factory), and today we have details and a pre-order available!

Truth be told I wanted nothing to do with The Equalizer when it came out theatrically. I even went as far as to not make any plans to attend the press screening of it when it dropped in my area. What kind of reviewer does that? I can tell you. It’s a bad one. I guess it all harkens back to the fact that whenever I heard this film being tossed around while in production my mind instantly drifted to an elder white man (Edward Woodard) from the television series back in the mid 80’s, not the bada$$ that Academy Award winner Denzel Washington really could be circa his Oscar-winning Training Day era. If it wasn’t for a bad day this past November, which resulted in a trip to the cinema to see The Equalizer, I may not have reviewed this Blu-ray, but instead passed it along to another reviewer to cover because of my stupid arrogance and ignorance. It’s funny how fate works in mysterious ways. Continue reading ‘The Equalizer (Blu-ray Review)’

mean jerk time, “one of the longest and finest dick jokes in TV history” (EW.com)? Or perhaps you didn’t hear the Vice President offer to use tampons to fix a nose bleed in a public bathroom? Find out what all the funny is about when

Veep: The Complete Third Season debut on Blu-ray and DVD March 31, 2015 (both are currently available on Digital HD now). One of the breakout comedies of the year,

King of the Hill, the show features a top-notch cast and is packed with laughs from start to finish. Season 3 of
VEEP finds Vice President Selina Meyer (Emmy® Award winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus) stumping for an autobiography she didn’t write, traveling abroad to strengthen her foreign policy experience, and proving that – without a doubt – she is not anti-gun.

When I think back to joys of my childhood some of my earliest thoughts of happiness revolve around family and sports, but quite honestly movies and comics. Yep! As a child, I had one wild imagination growing up and with no nearby childhood friends to play with I had to find ways to occupy my time and keep myself busy. I swear I rehearsed that lightsaber duel as Luke Skywalker against Darth Vader in the Empire Strikes Back almost daily. However, I digress because we are not here to talk Star Wars, but that of Ninja Turtles. So remember, just five sentences ago I mentioned the word comics? Yes! Besides Groo, I can still remember those rated-R, crisp, black and white pages of those early Mirage Studios issues of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That was 1984! A lot has happened in the world of the four turtles since then, but possibly none more revolutionary than the casting of Megan Fox as April O’Neil in this newest onscreen reboot by Michael Bay’s production company, Platinum Dunes.

A little movie with a fun cast and it is described as a neo-noir thriller? That all sounds good to me.

Call me crazy (no pun intended), but every time I look at the title of this film, its poster art and the fact that it stars Ben Kingsley, I just get Shutter Island on the brain. Is that fair to typecast this film instantly like that? I don’t think it is, but I can’t help the way my brain thinks sometimes. There are two reasons why I really wanted to see Stonehearst Asylum and was overjoyed when I learned I’d be reviewing it on the Blu-ray format. The first reason is obvious. It stars one of my favorite actresses, the forever beautiful Kate Beckinsale. And second, this film comes highly recommended from a co-worker of mine so I’m glad if nothing else that I’m finally having my first viewing of it on my favorite HD home media format, Blu-ray. So let’s talk some Stonehearst Asylum now! Continue reading ‘Stonehearst Asylum (Blu-ray Review)’
