This Oscar-nominated feature from Argentina is an anthology film that has one writer/director (Damian Szifron) allowing audiences to have a look inside his mind, as he uses his talents to deliver 6 different stories, all of which serving as darkly comedic looks at how the notion of revenge and challenging societal norms in some manner can take a turn for the worse (or the better, depending on interpretation). The film is funny, maddening, sad, bizarre, and very entertaining. Now the Blu-ray is available for all to enjoy.

The Spy Who Loved Me is one of my favorite James Bond movies. It is easily the best of the Roger Moore entries, but also a fine example of how strong the more cinematically over-the-top versions of the world famous British spy can be. Kingsman: The Secret Service essentially functions as one of the more outlandish James Bond entries, albeit made up of different characters and stemming from a graphic novel world, with a style and tone fitting of the millennial age. Director Matthew Vaughn, along with his screenwriting partner Jane Goldman, clearly had fun developing and filming the sort of R-rated madness taking place in this self-aware action-comedy, but it also has some of the dry British humor and sensibilities that make it more than just a new take on the ‘spy spoof’ for regular movie goers and a series of in-jokes for the filmmakers and movie geeks invested in the entertaining work of filmmakers like Vaughn.

Let’s look a bit closer into this matter, shall we? Read on! Continue reading ‘A Quick Look At The Best Casino Movies Now on Blu-ray’

Finally delivering on the promise of John Hammond, Jurassic World is a theme park we’ve all dreamed of. A place where people can ride a Triceratops. A place where you can roam in the middle of a Stegosaurus herd in a gyro sphere. Where you can take a boat tour down the river, and travel from attraction to attraction on a high tech monorail. It’s fully functional, with enough inspiration for ten parks.

When Jurassic Park came out back in 1993 we (at least here in the United States) got some big time dinosaur fever. Open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur style. Exhibits, educational adventures, books, movies, television was all focused on learning more about our prehistoric Earthly inhabitants. This time around with the return in Jurassic World, I’m not really sure that’s the case. However, it makes for the perfectly timed release of this little animated film Back To The Jurassic on Blu-ray. I’m not sure if it came to theaters at all or if this is intended straight to video. There really isn’t a whole lot of information available regarding it. The film features the voice talents of Jane Lynch, Melanie Griffith, Rob Schneider and not just one but two Baldwins, Stephen and William. Continue reading ‘Back To The Jurassic (Blu-ray Review)’
