Doctor Strange (Blu-ray Review)

Doctor Strange is a Marvel comics character I was fully aware of, knew what he looked like, kinda understood his powers and the like, but knew not much of and backreading or the details of him.  Couldn’t tell you his villains or allies or big arcs he went through.  I believe I did see that […]

NBFF Reviews: Rushlights And The Hunt

Tuesday night at the 2013 Newport Beach Film Festival was a bit of a dark one, as both films settled into dramatic territory, with one pulling this off way more effectively than the other.  To put it bluntly, on this night I saw both my worst film of the festival so far and my best […]

Up until recently I didn’t know anything about Unknown, but when I saw the movie’s trailer on television, a few weeks back, I instantly took notice.  Why?  Because… A) Liam Neeson stars in it… and B) Liam Neeson is shown in a bada$$ role much like he portrayed in Taken.  And so, with only one […]

The Eclipse (Blu-ray Review)

Continuing the trend of low budget thrillers, we now bring you an entry all the way from Ireland called The Eclipse.  First and foremost, do not confuse this film with that other film involving vampires.  They have nothing to do with each other, so it kind of confuses me as to why Magnolia would release […]
