The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
So it seems like this past summer had a lot of people heading to the art house theaters to see either Moonrise Kingdom or The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, if not both, which mostly resulted in major praise for either one. I had never got around to seeing the latter and it was because I […]
Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be […]
Be as it may, I tried to sit down this past weekend and for the first time ever watch the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Total Recall. Needless to say, I did not make it all the way through. I know. Boo! I became extremely bored and restless half way through. Like my experience with Serenity, […]
Get your ass to…London? It seemed like it would be easy to constantly compare this remake to Paul Verhoven’s excessive, but entertaining Arnold Schwarzeneggar sci-fi/action flick, Total Recall, but the film has lifted so many different elements from an assortment of other action and sci-fi films that comparing it to just one movie would not […]
It has been a strange series of events that have led to me missing several chances to actually see this movie, while it was in theaters, but it looks like I will finally be able to have the chance to see Best Exotic Marigold Hotel this coming fall, when it arrives on Blu-ray. Given the […]
I guess the world didn’t have enough with the 2010 redux of Clash of the Titans. That’s a good thing in my opinion. In many ways, especially in the visual effects category, I thoroughly enjoyed the remake much more than the 80’s odyssey. I was young and naïve back then. Heck, back then I thought […]
I think there is a certain amount of humor in the fact that Wrath of the Titans is essentially a take-two on this movie series. Wrath was certainly felt in regards to the 2010 film (which was in no way helped by the 3D that was then used as the key example of bad usage […]
Did they really need a sequel to 2010’s remake of the classic Clash of the Titans? Of course they didn’t. But if the success of 2011’s Insidious taught us anything, it’s that any movie that meekly survives to cultivate a profit in this tumulus day and age…well…deserves a sequel. And rightfully so. Why not?! I […]
Buckle up for thrilling edge-of-your-seat action and laugh-out-loud fun in Disney’s G-Force as this elite team of highly trained guinea pigs leaps off the screen and right into your living room. Just as the G-Force is about to save the world, the F.B.I. shuts the secret unit down. But these next-generation action heroes won’t be […]
I was very curious about Rango when it hit theaters, but for whatever reason, I was not able to catch it on the big screen. People kept telling me that since I’m a big western film buff that I would love it, because it in fact IS a western. So far, so good! The theatrical […]
I was really hoping that I would be getting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I to review on Blu-ray because not being the biggest advocate of the franchise these past ten years, I wanted to see whether I still liked the film or if it was an off night for me when I […]
Not often can I recommend a movie for the entire family to see together. Many movies are niched to a specific audience and age demographic, and many times parents struggle to find something everyone can enjoy. RANGO fits this bill nicely. Gore Verbinski has assembled a winning team of voices for the animated […]
I’m gonna start off big with this one partner – Rango is the best film I have seen so far this year. I absolutely loved watching this movie. It is incredibly well crafted, scored, gorgeously animated, funny, and handled wonderfully in its action. It is also quite weird, in a good way. For a major […]
When I first heard of this movie I wanted to see it just for the cast alone. Glorious 39 has Bill Nighy, Julie Christie, Christopher Lee, Jeremy Northam, David Tennant, and that’s a pretty good combination. Plus, it was marketed as a thriller that takes place right before World War II, so between the two […]
I had first seen the trailer for Wild Target almost a year ago as it played in front of my UK import copy of Solomon Kane. It got a laugh out of me, because I liked everyone that was in it. Flash forward almost a year later and I am now reviewing the domestic Blu-ray […]
I don’t know. I think I may becoming an Emily Blunt fan after seeing the trailer for the newest film she is going to be in with Matt Damon, The Adjustment Bureau. Anyway, that’s not the reason we are here. There’s less than one week before you are able to join a star-studded cast in […]
In a game such as Chess, the player progresses through by strategically moving their pieces into specific locations, one by one, hoping to reach a particular attack point. Once all of the pieces are set, a series of actions could take place leading to the end of the game. For this chapter in the Harry […]
Well, I guess I should preface this entire review by saying first and foremost that I am not a Harry Potter fan. I have never read the books, but many have told me that they are fantastic. And no, I have not taken very well to the films so far (#1 and #2 are sure […]
