Biblical stories were once all the rage in cinema. Grand scale, huge scope and sweeping storytelling kept people coming to the theaters in droves once upon a time. Then, suddenly, there was a very serious drought in the genre. All the stories had been done, and the ones people came up with, especially in recent […]
The Star Trek films have felt like they have had the slowest trudge and bumpy roll out onto the 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray format. The films feel like they should be at the top of the list when format upgrades come, but alas they feel like an afterthought. Odd, especially when they are at the forefront […]
Welp, Disney is at it again, updating their old animated classics and raking in the dough at the box office. The Lion King, the third of four films of such ilk coming from the mouse house this year was a dominant force at the box office. Not quite making that Avengers: Endgame money, but making […]
Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” has conquered both audiences and critics, debuting to $179.1 million—the fifth-biggest domestic opening of all time—and earning a 90% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes. “Captain America: Civil War” is the highest-grossing film of 2016 domestically, internationally and globally, earning more than $1.14 billion at the worldwide box office. It also […]
Movies about people with a compulsion tend to work for me. While it is frustrating to see the lead characters make decisions that you know are going to hurt them in some way, I am compelled to see how they deal with the fallout of their actions. Mississippi Grind is a fine film about two […]

If you take away nothing else from this Blu-ray review, make sure you please engrave that in your memory banks, the non-volatile ones. Annabelle was an evil possessed doll (think Chucky-like) whose first appearance was also […]
This January it’s time to face your absolute worst fears when Annabelle haunts the Blu-ray format in a Combo Pack from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. I don’t know about you but the only thing I’m scare about next year is seeing the Broncos get blown out again, but I digress. The Blu-ray and Digital Download […]
Annabelle is the cinematic equivalent of, “who cares,” which I was tempted to write as the lone words to describe my thoughts on the film. There is nothing offensively bad about this film, but there is really just nothing here. With very few original ideas and the amount of story that could be seen as […]
12 Years A Slave is a truly gripping story that most certainly serves as an unflinching look at a horrible period of a man’s life, within a time period where injustice against man may have been at its peak in America, but does so with a mood that seems to distinguish itself from other period […]
Come this March, the title of the post may need to be altered to “Best Picture Winner”, but regardless, one of the best and most important films of 2013 comes to Blu-ray on February 18th. 12 Years A Slave tells the true story of Solomon Northrup, a man kidnapped and forced into slavery in the […]
