Believe it or not, I’ve been looking forward to this one, as its been getting some good acclaim and buzz from people I do trust. It’s Jean Claude Van Damme in an adventure comedy, and after that car commercial where he did the splits, what wrong can this man do? It also boasts Adam Brody, Dennis Haysbert and the always great to see in things Rob Huebel (except SHIELD which totally wasted him). Universal is bringing this one to glorious Blu-ray on March 25th. Here’s hoping for some good laughs and kick ass throwback pure action! You can read more about this release below, as well as pre-order it to make sure your JCVD Blu-ray collection is complete and up to date (btw, can we get a US Hard Target release please? Thanks)!

I have been a huge fan of HBO’s comedy series Eastbound & Down and its ridiculous, foul-mouthed anti-hero character Kenny Powers since the beginning. I know some people are not big on Danny McBride, but I find him hilarious and this show, which he is heavily involved the production of, was a perfect way to harness his comedic energy over the years. The fourth season was an unexpected one, given the finality of its third, but dammit if McBride and co-creator Jody Hill didn’t find a way to make a truly glorious final season for the series. This series was always the story of a former baseball player and all-around horrible guy coming to terms with evolving for the better as a person, but in the craziest ways possible, making it plenty entertaining. On May 13th, everyone will have the chance to see how the sage of Kenny Powers comes to a close. Read on to learn more about this upcoming release.

This week’s entry of my wishlist is definitely inspired by tomorrow’s holiday. And the film is also one I enjoy a lot more than most. It’s got plenty of visible faults, but I don’t think the movie is as vile as some have made its reputation out to be. If anything, it may be one that is benefited by looking at it years removed with maybe more forgiving or understanding eyes. Today’s film bolsters the tremendous scores of 8% (Rotten Tomatoes), 4.6 (IMDB), 18 (Metacritic), made 9 million shy of its low budget at the box office and doesn’t even show up on the pull down when you type it in on the IMDB search bar.

There is a reason why robots, cyborgs, and similar devices have gotten a lot of attention in science fiction over the years. The idea of man creating a machine and what that could mean for life is an intriguing concept that can play on both the positives and negatives of the scenario. Taking it further and creating a cyborg who is also a law enforcement officer is one way to emphasize the debate of whether it should be done. If handled properly, a story can flourish by developing those ideas, building a world around why this concept should happen and what the ramifications could be were it to actually happen. Along with many other main reasons, Robocop fails to embrace the strong ideas that could make it work, in favor of being a noisy and messy action film.

First-time writer/director Herschel Faber assembles an engaging cast of young Hollywood up-and-comers for the testosterone-fueled rom-com CAVEMEN, debuting on Blu-ray™ and DVD April 8th from Well Go USA Entertainment. Skylar Astin (Pitch Perfect, TV’s “Ground Floor”), Camilla Belle (10,000 BC), Chad Michael Murray (TV’s “One Tree Hill”), Dayo Okeniyi (Spectacular Now, The Hunger Games), Kenny Wormald (Footloose) and Alexis Knapp (Pitch Perfect, TV’s “Ground Floor”) headline the cast.

Going into this screening last night I was fearful of only one thing. Please God! Don’t let this be a horrible remake like 2012’s Total Recall. Despite the beauty of Kate Beckinsale in it, life is too precious and short for something of that immeasurable quality. So here we are and there’s really no way around it. The twelfth of February 2014 is happening whether we like it or not. We are living in it and because we are we have a modern day PG-13 remake of the 1987 hard-R Robocop to discuss here. And guess what? It’s only been off and on and delayed since it was announced way back in 2005. How bad can this really be? Sometimes, as we seen last year with World War Z, not all delays are bad. Let’s give it the benefit of the doubt at least. So as the poster tagline for Robocop reads, “Crime Has A New Enemy,” I’m hoping by the crime they are talking about 2012’s Total Recall being made and that this film is the enemy attempting to kick its a$$! Come on! You have to be a little curious, don’t you? Read on! Continue reading ‘Good Cop, Bad Cop(s), Robocop (Movie Review)’

More clips today, folks. This time its from the upcoming film IN FEAR from Anchor Bay. It’s been getting a lot of buzz leading up to its small theatrical run and Blu-ray debut coming in March (the 7th and 11th to be precise). It stars Alice Englert who I enjoyed a lot in Beautiful Creatures last year and Iain De Caestecker most know for Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. which I, like I’m sure many others, am still torturing myself with and at this point I really don’t know why. It’s directed by Jeremy Lovering, who appears to have made his career in directing a lot of BBC stuff. I’m pretty excited for this one, so let’s take a look at this clip sent to us from our wonderful friends over at Anchor Bay/Starz!

DreamWorks Pictures’ “Need for Speed” marks an exciting return to the great car culture films of the 1960s and ’70s, when the authenticity of the world brought a new level of intensity to the action on-screen. Tapping into what makes the American myth of the open road so appealing, the story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country journey for our heroes — one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption. Based on the most successful racing video game franchise ever with over 140 million copies sold, “Need for Speed” captures the freedom and excitement of the game in a real-world setting, while bringing to life the passion for the road that has made our love of cars so timeless.

I generally save the trailer posts for more high profile films, but Under The Skin seems very intriguing to me. The film first caught my attention during its run at various film festivals last year, where I kept hearing about the film and its lead performance from Scarlett Johansson. Some comparisons to Kubrick were being made with this latest film from Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast, Birth), which is a bit strong, but certainly gets my attention. Regardless, there is now a new trailer and poster available to view and it continues to make me excited to see the film. Continue on to view the trailer.

Only six weeks left! Over two seasons, this series has taken cringe-worthy jokes and biting satire to a whole new level.

Adding to the laughs are an array of deleted scenes and cast/crew commentaries that somehow make “one of the funniest shows on television” (The Wrap) even more enjoyable.
