October 31st, 2024 by Adam Toroni-Byrne
M. Night Shyamalan has attempted since his earlier films to create stories that we haven’t seen before.Even if the premise is like something we’ve seen, the film is almost always unique. This includes films that aren’t necessarily that great, and some really incredible films. Where does Trap lie in his filmography? How unique is the setup of a serial killer seeking escape in the middle of a huge concert? Find out now, and don’t forget to check out recent reviews for The Sixth Sense and Signs too!

I was immediately intrigued about the premise of Blink Twice when the publicity for the film began. The movie offered a psychological thriller, something that has been missing from cinemas a lot of the time recently. Zoë Kravitz in her first film as director took an ambitious story and ran with it. Read more about the Naomi Ackie and Channing Tatum led film and see if the film is worth a watch on Blu-ray!
After The Sixth Sense, I believe that Signs may be M. Night Shyamalan’s biggest success to date. The creepy aliens-on-earth story struck similar emotional chords at The Sixth Sense did and gave Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix some excellent moments of acting. Now the film is 22 years old, so I wonder – Does the film have the same impact that it did in 2002? Read more about Signs in the review and in case you missed it, check out our review of The Sixth Sense 
The first film released in VistaVision and a HUGE spectacle in 1954, White Christmas is undoubtedly a staple in many film fans’ holiday viewing queue. For me, White Christmas started as the movie my mother would show us to make us nod off on Christmas Eve and now is the one I can’t wait to watch as soon as Thanksgiving ends. Now celebrating 70 years, the film has made its way to 4K UHD thanks to Paramount Home Entertainment. Read more on my love of the film below as well as the excellent 4K presentation too!
By no means am I a video game afficionado. I can honestly say the last game I played was Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on a PSII that I HAD to have. I had other games, but I only ever played this one. I wasn’t very good at the game and my attention span for gaming had never been the best. Despite my distaste for gaming, I still am easily aware of video games and Borderlands is a series of games that I know of. Don’t ask me anything about it though, but the title, I know for sure! All kidding aside, I was intrigued when Eli Roth’s film adaptation was announced. With a huge cast of recognizable talent and what seemed like a nice sized budget to make something big and fun for the spring, I was immediately ensconced when I saw the negative press and the abysmal box office returns. Read more about the film below and what happens to be a reference grade 4K Blu-ray!
I don’t know about you, but I really missed Wolverine. I missed that gruff, hard, yet lovable X-man! I was in tears when he met his fate at the end of Logan and thought that was that. When the worlds of Deadpool and Wolverine were to collide in the appropriately titled Deadpool & Wolverine, I was ready to run to the nearest theater to see the film. And then I didn’t. Now, arriving home with a lovely DOLBY VISION 4K UHD Blu-ray from Disney/Sony, I have been able to witness the chaotic wonder of the film. Read about that and more below and be sure to click whichever cover art you want at the end to get your copy today!
Nostalgia abounds when I watch movies from my childhood. The Addams Family and its sequel Addams Family Values are a lot of fun. Macabre and dark but still somehow light and comforting, the films work so well even 30+ years after their release. The 2021 4K release of the first Addams film was wonderful and then collectors waited to see when the second film would receive its inevitable release. Now just in time for Halloween we get it! Read more about the creepy, kooky, ooky family’s second adventure below and as always, the cover art is clickable and takes you to Amazon to get your own copy!
I can’t even begin to tell you about my love for Twister. Well, scratch that – I have! When the original film was released on 4K in July, I got to share my childhood memories and marvel on the excellent A/V presentation too! You can catch up if you haven’t already with that review 
Depending on your tastes you either love or hate Eli Roth films. He’s made some that have held up well. Horror fans love Hostel. He’s also delivered a very underrated family film with The House With the Clock In Its Walls. There are some questionable movies there too. An unnecessary remake, Death Wish (I liked it but I know it’s not very good) and a recent video game adaptation, Borderlands, which for better or worse was an immediate failure. Before this, we got Thanksgiving, which was equal parts scary and funny and now celebrates it’s first year since release with a new 4K UHD Blu-ray, which comes in a great new steelbook! Fans will know all about the film, but for those new to it, read on below! 
Friends is a television show that needs no introduction, but since this is a review I am under an obligation to do so.

Despicable Me is an unstoppable, long loved franchise. Starting off in 2010, the Steve Carell led films have brought joy to fans of animation and family fare. So when the newest entry came out in prime time for moviegoers it of course brought big bucks home to Universal. So how does the newest adventure for Gru and his family, and Minion brood stack up to the rest? Find out more inside the review, and as always, click the cover art at the end to buy yourself a copy! Minions, march!
40 Years is just a trip to even say when I think of A Nightmare On Elm Street. The film was a source of fear for me as a child and even now fully wears its icon status proudly. One of a select few horror films to be in the Library of Congress and rightly so, we are now receiving a 40th Anniversary 4K edition of the classic film! Relive the nightmares with me below, and a special link to a legacy review of the 2010 Blu-ray too, and don’t forget to click the cover art for the standard or Steelbook editions of A Nightmare On Elm Street to order your own copy!
