The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
What a time to be alive when it comes to kaiju cinema these days. Godzilla, in particular, can now be referred to as the Oscar-winning King of the Monsters after smash hit Godzilla Minus One managed to go the distance (one step closer to EGOT, I say!). With that in mind, the MonsterVerse has once […]

Back in March, far too many fans of the King of the Monsters and the Big Ape didn’t have the opportunity to experience their epic brawl, Godzilla Vs. Kong on IMAX (or any traditional theater, really) because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most, if not everyone I knew in Los Angeles, avoided the big screens unless […]
On June 15, “Godzilla vs. Kong” will be available on 4K, Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD. “Godzilla vs. Kong” will also continue to be available to own in high definition and standard definition from participating digital retailers. Witness a spectacular battle for the ages when “Godzilla vs. Kong” arrives for Premium Digital Ownership at home on May […]
An interesting mix of smaller movie notables this time out (T2-3D aside!) with a few films from previous weeks that I just saw in my humble effort to keep the all ardent cinefiles up to date. (Plus the empty month of August sure has some slim pickins!) Killer robots from the future now in 4K […]
I’m curious to see how fans react to Death Note, the Netflix adaptation of the popular manga coming out on August 25th. Director Adam Wingard stated that while the film is faithful, it is through his own unique vision. Surprisingly, it wasn’t approached as a straight horror film, which was apparent in the clip that was […]
Nearly two decades after documentary filmmakers vanished in the groundbreaking film The Blair Witch Project, an investigative team searches for them and the truth behind their disappearance in Blair Witch, arriving on Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital HD), DVD, Digital HD, and On Demand January 3 from Lionsgate. From acclaimed filmmakers Adam Wingard […]
Following You’re Next and The Guest, two thrillers that received solid acclaim (but sadly not higher profits), director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett are back with the surprise that is Blair Witch. This will be mere trivia in years to come, but the film that was originally known as The Woods is actually a […]
Well another year has come and gone, leaving in its dust quite a year in Hollywood. We had the tragic and shocking deaths of Philip Seymour Hoffman and the beloved Robin Williams. Sony released, pulled and re-released the controversial film, The Interview, due to cyber threats and their systems getting hacked by North Korea. This […]
You know that expression that says “you had me at hello”? Well the same train of thought can be applied here with this title, The Guest, because it is billed as “from the creators of You’re Next.” They really did have me at hello there – hook, line and sinker. Even though I have never […]
You know that expression that says “you had me at hello”? Well the same train of thought can be applied here when this title, The Guest, because it is billed as “from the creators of You’re Next.” They really did have me at hello there. Even though I have not seen The Guest yet, that […]
It is great to go retro, when being guided by filmmakers who know what they are doing. Director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett clearly have plenty of retro inspirations for their films. Having found success in the realm of genre filmmaking, particularly with their previous collaboration, You’re Next, playing as a slasher film with […]
The award winning and critically acclaimed home invasion thriller, You’re Next, arrives on Blu-ray (plus Digital HD Ultraviolet) and DVD (plus Digital Ultraviolet) January 14 (with an early Digital HD and Video on Demand window beginning December 27) from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. AND I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER about this news!!! To say I loved this […]
I was just talking about the effectiveness of simplicity in another review and now we have a simple and efficiently made horror flick, titled You’re Next. Despite having been lingering around for a couple years, this is a horror flick that has maintained its positive buzz since debuting at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival […]
So here’s a title that I profess to know nothing about going into the press screening last Thursday night at the brand new Alamo Drafthouse Lakeline here in Austin, TX. Now come on, how can one turn that offer down? I said the BRAND NEW Alamo Drafthouse! I’m probably only the 100th person to have […]
A horror anthology is one of the easiest types of films to see as hit or miss. Not only can some of the segments either be good, bad, or just okay, but the film itself can drag depending on how many short films we are watching and whether or not the connective tissue between each […]
