Encapsulated Movie Reviews – Eight 2018 Retro-Recommended Titles

After recovering from the onslaught of flicks that unspooled at the recent Dances With Films Festival 2018, this movie geek needed a little break.  (New Indie titles will be popping up soon!)

The Emoji Movie (4K UHD Blu-ray Review)

Bad ideas, bad ideas, bad ideas. Phil Lord and Chris Miller are the guys who tend to take bad ideas and make them into great things. Though, with their firing from Solo: A Star Wars Story, I’m not so sure of even that any more. They had nothing to do with The Emoji Movie, but […]

To save what you love, you must become what you fear when “Keanu” arrives onto Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD.

‘Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2’ Is Not Simply Overdone Leftovers (Movie Review)

Four years ago I was delighted to walk out of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs with a giant grin on my face.  I went into that film not knowing what to expect and was overjoyed to find that it was this wonderful animated comedy, complete with great imagination, animation, a sense of irreverence that […]

Comic-Con 2013: Sony & Screen Gems Panel

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 […]

The Dictator: Banned & Unrated (Blu-ray Review)

Up next is a film that warms the spirit and enlightens the soul. Scratch that. It’s Sacha Baron Cohen’s new film The Dictator. I remember when I saw the trailers for the film and they didn’t really do anything for me, but as they kept drilling the promotional materials deep into my skull I slowly […]

‘The Dictator’ Seizes Comedy, Whether You Like It Or Not

I am really looking forward to seeing Sacha Baron Cohen tackle more serious and dramatic work.  I saw a hint of it in Hugo and, as is generally the case, comedic actors seem work just as well in a dramatic environment.  I start out this way because I like Sacha Baron Cohen in general, but […]

Scary Movie 3 (Blu-ray Review)

There are countless reasons why I should think of this movie as low-brow, stupid, and idiotic attempt at a spoof film. However, I found myself laughing out loud throughout the entire movie, from the side-splittingly hilarious opening titles to the “twist” ending. Along with being a major improvement over the painful Scary Movie and Scary […]

Scary Movie 2 (Blu-ray Review)

Wes Craven’s Scream— with a script by Kevin Williamson– was supposed to be a snarky take on the then-stale horror genre (note: the horror genre has since slipped back into stale-ness, thanks to the “torture porn” subgenre, the “found footage” subgenre, and the rise of “Sparkling, Ladyboy Vampire” films), a scary movie for people who’d […]

Blu-ray’s Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel

This one is for all the kiddies out there, especially my nephew, Kasey, whose parents better buy this Blu-ray for him on Day #1.  And yes I said the Blu-ray edition…Cheryl!  Don’t worry.  It comes with a bonus “who cares” DVD.  The blockbuster Alvin and the Chipmunks: the Squeakquel arrives on Blu-ray with over an […]
