The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
Being the Blu-ray snob I have been ever since the fall of 2006, I’d never thought I would ever hear myself mutter the following words. It didn’t dawn on me until my move from Cleveland, OH to Austin, TX just how much cheaper it would have been to transport my 500 HD movies in the […]
Right off the bat, I should say that between the novel by Victor Hugo, the stage play, and previous film adaptations, I am quite familiar with the story of Les Miserables. The idea of a big-budget film musical, with an A-list set of actors, and an Oscar-winning director certainly sounds like a success story in […]
Here’s another one I missed in the theaters. Dammit! But I did hear good things about it. Nevertheless, the action-thriller Man on a Ledge features an all star cast, led by Sam Worthington (Avatar, Clash of the Titans, Terminator: Salvation) as an ex-cop who escapes from prison to plan the ultimate heist: steal a $40 million […]
Every second counts in this sexy, stylish action-thriller starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Syfried. In a future where time is literally money and aging stops at 25, the only way to stay alive is to earn, borrow, steal or inherit more time. But when a poor, working-class man (Timberlake) is falsely accused of murder, he […]
To me, 2011 was a pretty unusual year. I say that because I found there to be an unusual amount of great films that came out in both the realm of mainstream feature films and the realm of art house and independent features. This year, like any year, had its share of duds as well, […]
Let the countdown begin. Leave the existing world behind and enter into a futuristic world where the aging gene is switched off after 25 and time is money, literally, that many can’t afford in the cutting-edge thriller IN TIME, arriving on Blu-ray and DVD January 31 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Featuring an all-star […]

The complete collection includes all […]
I cannot imagine it being at all simple to develop a story set around a future society, with a specific set of rules in place. For all the fun it must be to describe the ways characters must behave and dress and how the look of the world has changed, getting down to the logistics […]
So I somehow managed to double-book myself between press screenings for In Time and The Rum Diaries. Bummer! It was a hard decision to make between which one I would ultimately have to pass on. In Time looked promising in the action department, where as The Rum Diaries features my new favorite, the beautiful Miss […]
Comic-Con started with a bang this year. Twilight was the first panel to headline the coveted Hall H lineup. Believe it or not, there were fans standing in line outside the convention center for over a week waiting to get in. Now that’s devotion! Our own Mary Welms will have full coverage of that panel […]
While walking away from the theater, I was discussing with the person I saw this film with what genre it would be considered. Red Riding Hood is certainly not a scary at all, nor does it have any real tension or suspense. It is not much of a drama, because none of the performers really […]
I originally had my apprehension about this title when it was first announced, but my fears were quickly subdued when I found out that Amanda Seyfried and Gary Oldman’s names were attached to this project. Gary Oldman goes without saying, but my love for Seyfried is brand new and unfamiliar to me. It’s time to […]
Now here’s a film I was intrigued with during its short theatrical run. Due to time restraints, I was unable to make the press screening of this flick, but I was stricken with curiosity about it after seeing the film’s trailer. And now that it’s coming to Blu-ray, I definitely won’t miss it this time […]
YouTube Video reviewer guru Chris Stuckmann is back on the scene with his latest look at the Channing Tatum/Amanda Seyfried romance Dear John, which opened nationwide yesterday. Dear John was directed by Lasse Hallstrom and adpated from the novel written by Nicholas Sparks. Find out why Chris says that Channing Tatum actually stands a chance of […]
I feel the need to get something off my pulmonary cavity before I even begin here. Make no mistake; I am a gargantuan fan of the Diablo Cody horror comedy film Jennifer’s Body. Since owning the Blu-ray disc last Tuesday it has frequented my Blu-ray drive a total of seven majestic times. I just can’t […]
I was having a bad day right up to the moment this announcement sprung up in my email inbox at 4:22 PM. Fox made it official today! The sexy Megan Fox horror comedy Jennifer’s Body will seduce the Blu-ray format on December 29th. I guess I know what I will be watching this New Years […]
Cheerleader Jennifer (Megan Fox) goes from plain bitchy to supernatural evil when she returns from the grave with a thirst for the blood of teenage boys. It’s up to her nerdy best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) to save the day before Jennifer feasts on the town’s entire male population with an eye on Needy’s boyfriend […]
Jennifer’s body was hot. Now that I’ve covered all the good points of the film, you’ll notice I was not talking about the movie as a whole there in all its un-italicized glory. Yes Megan Fox is indeed eye candy and recent interviews quoted her in unhappiness with the self-proclaimed over-glamorizing she endured in both […]
