The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
For those who claim there is a shortage of film releases week to week, the list of flicks below sure puts you to multiple movie shame. There are a whopping twelve releases dissected here and that’s only because I didn’t have time for the rest. (I am only ONE film critic folks!) Docs on imprisonment […]
Writer and director Martin McDonagh has hit big this year with his highly acclaimed and decorated third feature film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. It has been collecting hardware for the overall film as well as the performances of Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell, with Woody Harrelson receiving nominations for his role. Like many others, […]
The ‘ol disaster movies have their respective fans and place in our cinematic calendar year. There are many corner, low budgeted ones that come around in places like the Sci Fi channel much of the time, but almost once every other year, we see one try to grab that success on the big screen. And […]
Much like The Perfect Storm, sometimes a cog in the Hollywood moviemaking machine comes up with a decision to have two reasonably entertaining ideas collide. In the case of Geostorm, to freshen up the idea of a massive storm destroying cities, a convoluted plot to assonate the president by controlling the weather was developed. This […]
This is quite a wonderful week for indie flicks indeed. Not only are there films across all genres, but there are TWO five-star films on the list that are also in full contention for my Top Ten Films of 2017. (Viva the lush The Lure and cool Catfight!) Mermaids with mayhem in mind, gals with […]
It’s the reboot that seemed an interesting but dangerous venture. The original Paul Verhoven classic is damn near as perfect a movie as you can get. As unnecessary as the reboot sounded, interesting names kept popping into it. At the outset, this was a Darren Aronofsky project, but he exited. Even the eventual director Jose […]
Directed by José Padilha, ROBOCOP stars Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley and Samuel L. Jackson. In ROBOCOP, the year is 2028 and OmniCorp – the world’s leader in robot technology – sees a golden opportunity to reap billions for their company. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good […]
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 […]
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 […]
Sony Pictures had a big day on Friday at San Diego Comic Con this year, mainly due to the debut of footage from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and the panel that went along with it (an article on that can be found HERE). With that said, there were plenty of other exciting things going on […]
Wow! What can I say about this flick that hasn’t been said before? It was as the Boss would put it a “Brilliant Disguise.” More importantly, this is the screenwriting flick for all ambitious writers out there to learn, live and study from for all eternity. I really can’t say enough good things about this […]
There is no way around this, so I am just going to get it out of the way now. One, I loved Seven Psychopaths and I believe it to be one of the best films of the year. Two, I can easily see how not everyone will love this movie the same way I do. […]
Wow! What can I possibly say that fellow staffer Aaron Neuwirth is not going to mention in his extensive review of Seven Psychopaths? Well, for starters, this film is brilliant. Pull away the many layers and what you obviously have is a masterfully crafted screenplay by the film’s co-producer and director, Martin McDonagh. I guess […]
On behalf of Anchor Bay Entertainment, we are excited to announce that W.E., the ultimate love story and Madonna-directed drama, will be coming out on Blu-ray and DVD May 1st, 2012! W.E. has received numerous accolades, including a 2011 Academy Award® nomination for Best Achievement in Costume Design, a 2012 Golden Globe® Award for Best […]
Since the film’s theatrical release, it has been very interesting to hear everyone’s thoughts on Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch. I have people in my life that very much opposed the film, going as far to say its subject matter is an abomination of the screenplay format, and others like me who can’t wait to view […]
Leading up to the film’s release it has been very interesting to hear everyone’s thoughts on Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch. I have people in my life that very much oppose the film, going as far to say its subject matter is an abomination of the screenplay format, and others like me who can’t wait to […]
So this movie was a big sandbox of ideas, ambition, and disappointment. In terms of editing, style, and structure, watching Sucker Punch was like watching a day’s worth of programming on MTV, crammed into a long, two hour movie. It begins early with a couple music videos; it then gives us shallow, underdeveloped, yet beautiful […]
Limitless is based around the notion of a myth and a “what if” question. The myth involves the idea that people only use about 10% of their brains. This film asks the question – what if you could take a pill that would open up the rest of your mind. What follows is a story […]
