I haven’t heard of this movie but any movie directed by Peter Weir (Master and Commander) and stars Ed Harris (The Rock), and Colin Farrell (In Bruges) should be pretty good. This is a prison escape movie which I always enjoy so I’m looking forward to seeing this. The movie also has upcoming stars Saoirse Ronan (The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo) and Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe as well. Continue reading ‘The Way Back Comes to Blu-ray April 19’

The idea and powers at work behind Your Highness give the impression of a juicy premise. The film is a different take on fantasy/adventure films, incorporating comedic actors, heavy improvisation, and modern language. It has the right kind of scope and old school style handling of the action and creatures, yet it is also ridiculous, filthy, and very R-rated throughout. Continue reading ‘Go With ‘Your Highness’ On A Raunchy, Fantasy Ride For The Ridiculous’

Not too many Thai films are marketed as action-borderline-science fiction these days. With the exception of the Ong-Bak franchise I can’t really remember any other films to come out of Thailand that were actually memorable or even successful. The makers of Vanquisher were going to change all that. Magnolia Films acquired the home video distribution rights. Did the filmmakers succeed in their quest to crossover? Read our review of Vanquisher on Blu-ray and find out. Continue reading ‘Vanquisher (Blu-ray Review)’

I feel that there may be too little to talk about here, as the film is both fairly self explanatory and only lasts for 40 minutes, but I will try my best. Born to Be Wild 3D is an IMAX nature documentary from Warner Bros. Pictures, which has been shot in 3D, using IMAX and 4K digital cameras. The film is incredibly simplistic, but effective in what it tries to show in such a short span of time. Continue reading ‘‘Born To Be Wild’ Is Both Beautiful and Brief’

Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson star in The Island, Michael Bay’s take on a dystopian future. The inhabitants of the island think that they live on it due to the rest of the planet being uninhabitable. It’s much more than that. The Island marked Michael Bay’s first project that was not produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. How will it hold up on Blu-ray? We’ll see what happens when The Island debuts on Blu-ray June 21st, 2011.

For a couple weeks in Los Angeles, a particular screening has been taking place, which has been feeding the desires of all film geeks who have attended. I am speaking of the original, full cut of Quentin Tarantino’s fourth feature film – Kill Bill. Billed on the marquee as Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, this is the original print of the film, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival back in 2003 (complete with French subtitles).

Disney took a huge gamble in 1982 when they released TRON into the marketplace. It was so unlike anything else, that it never found an audience worthy of its ambition. For most movies, that would have been the end of it, with no chance of redemption or an ongoing franchise. Then a couple of things happened. The world changed and people as a whole became more technologically savvy and open to a film that is so focused on an electronic world.

I had my reservations about going to see Black Swan when it was playing theatrically. I loved the concept, but I hate to admit it, I’m not the biggest Natalie Portman fan. I know she’s a natural beauty and that she can act, but every time I hear her name I tend to cringe and think of her wooden performances in the Star Wars prequels. Don’t get me wrong, I love those films, albeit they will never live up to the originals, and I know the blame should not fall on Portman’s shoulders alone, but on Lucas. However, a film about ballet? That sounded pretty boring to me. How about you? Continue reading ‘Black Swan (Blu-ray Review)’

Gale, Dewey, Cotton, and Sidney have survived both the Woodsboro massacre and the murders at Sidney’s college but now face another killer yet again. While I really enjoyed the writing in Scream and Scream 2, it is a tragedy that Scream 3 was not written by Kevin Williamson since the quality dropped in this one. Aside from the title of Cotton’s TV Show – “100% Cotton” there isn’t much I liked about this one. Continue reading ‘Scream 3 (Blu-ray Review)’

Hammer Films through Image Entertainment has brought us The Resident starring Hillary Swank, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and the great Christopher Lee on Blu-ray. As far as I know The Resident is a direct-to-video affair. Even big name actors have to do these every once in a while, I guess. Hammer Films has been around for years and years and have offered horror and thrillers for the masses since the 30’s. It makes sense that Christopher Lee would partake of The Resident since he’s been in many Hammer Film productions over the years. How does The Resident on Blu-ray stack up to its “thriller” contemporaries out there? Please follow us into the abyss and read for yourself. Continue reading ‘The Resident (Blu-ray Review)’

If Hitchcock, Agatha Christie, and Philip K. Dick walked into a bar, they could come up with the plot for Source Code, a cracking new thriller, starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a time constricted helicopter pilot and directed by Duncan Jones, who previously made the great, sci-fi sleeper – Moon. The film works as a high concept sci-fi film, with some mysterious elements involved in its proceedings. Continue reading ‘Forgive The Logic And Enter The Thrills Of ‘Source Code’’
