The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
I have to be honest with y’all. I’ve been anxiously waiting for this day to come ever since I first saw Mad Max Fury Road this past May. I’ve seen it not once, not twice, not even three times, but five triumphant times in the theater with one of them being a gigantic IMAX screen […]
You read the title of this post, right? Well if you didn’t, let me spell it out for you once again in all CAPITAL letters. STOP EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING AND READ THIS! MAD-MAX FURY ROAD IS COMING TO BLU-RAY IN SEPTEMBER! That historic date in Blu-ray history will be none other than September flipping 1st…ONE […]
Before we even get into chatting about all the reasons why Mad Max Fury Road is “50 Shades of F#%king Awesome” I want to spend a moment reflecting upon the film’s theatrical trailers over the past year. All I can say is F YEAH! You want to know how to do a trailer right and pack […]
While I am sure Aaron Neuwirth will be covering this one in much more depth in his Hall H recap from yesterday, about 3 hours ago Warner Bros. let this Mad Max: Fury Road trailer leak in HD online. I wanted you readers to see it as soon as humanly possible so I dropped everything I […]
The surprising thing about Seth MacFarlane’s A Million Ways to Die in the West is how devoted to the genre it actually is. While I can only think of so many western comedies offhand, there are plenty of ways to turn the genre on its head and have a lot of fun with it. MacFarlane […]
Well it’s about time! As much as I like getting to see big blockbusters on Blu-ray for their awesome sound and video quality, and as much as I like to see old classics get their restored treatment on Blu-ray, there are still a good number of more modern films that have yet to make their […]
This worst-of list will not be as long as my other Top 10 lists due to the fact that some films that were downright unwatchable weren’t even watched all the way through. I decided not to subject myself to them, so some of these selections will probably just get “honorable worst-of” mentions instead, or a […]
It’s that not-so-dreaded time of the year where I unleash my Top 10 Blu-rays of 2012. This year I thought I’d go against the grain the best that I could and just limit myself on picking Blu-rays that actually made a statement in terms of video, audio, and special features, instead of films that were […]
Prometheus, to me, is much like the acquired taste of beer. You may not like it the first time you try it, but the more you give it a chance, it becomes harder and harder to resist and suddenly that raunchy aftertaste becomes a thing of the past as it becomes more socially acceptable in […]
On October 9th, Ridley Scott returns to Blu-ray in the genre he helped define so long ago in PROMETHEUS. Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender lean an all-star cast in the epic, ambitious and bold sic-fi thriller. The Blu-ray contains over seven hours of bonus materials including an alternate opening and ending, deleted and alternate scenes […]
In this spectacular action-adventure, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) is Snow White, the only woman in the land fairer than the evil queen Ravenna (Oscar winner Charlize Theron). Ravenna wants nothing more than to destroy her young rival, but she doesn’t know that Show White has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) […]
It must be difficult to approach a film like this from the perspective of a filmmaker who has done previous, similar work that is now considered a classic. It must also be difficult for someone to go in and see a film like this, knowing what one knows about said classic, the filmmaker, and the […]
If I had to rank my Top 3 “Most Anticipated” Films of 2012, Prometheus would have been a gut wrenching #4 choice. It’s not that I wasn’t really looking forward to it, but nothing will ever top my love for the Nolan’s Batman series, which I considered masterpieces, and Seth Grahame-Smith’s literary mash-up work, Abraham […]

Instead, he trains her to become a warrior who will threaten the queen’s reign. This Dark Fairy Tale Drama stars Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron. it was directed […]
Given the visual wonderment seen throughout this darker take on the Snow White fairy tale, it is too bad there is not more to praise in other regards. Snow White and the Huntsman is a fairly empty film that has plenty to show off on the outside, given the high budget and imaginations at work […]
In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Oscar winner Charlize Theron) out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman […]
