I have honestly not tried to make a big deal out of this more publicly, but my interest in Star Trek as a franchise is almost non-existent. Do I respect what it has brought to the world? Sure. Do I enjoy the work of many involved in the making of this newest entry? Of course. […]
Being a huge Star Wars fan all my life who frequently has called Star Trek boring, dull and lifeless with the exception of The Next Generation episodes Ashley Judd appeared in, I was astonished by how much fun I had with J.J. Abrams fresh take on the franchise back in 2009. In my opinion, he […]

Hailed as “brilliant” and “the best family film of the year” (Joel Amos, MovieFanatic.com) with “spellbinding power” (James Verniere, Boston Herald) and […]
This would seem like the perfect time for a movie like Rise of the Guardians to come out. It arrives in theaters in the same year that audiences around the globe have already witnessed the ultimate superhero mash-up film, The Avengers, watched the end of Batman’s journey in The Dark Knight Rises, and are preparing […]
This is certain to excite a few people. While I am a Star Wars guy through and through, I certainly cannot deny that Star Trek is one of the things that will get the masses excited, especially now that J.J. Abrams had a hand in reinvigorating the franchise with his 2009 reboot. So for anyone […]
I really don’t have anything against this movie for what it tries to be. Given that someone already went ahead and called pull quote credit by proclaiming People Like Us as “The feel good movie of the summer,” I get the feeling that anyone that is going into this movie will probably have a good […]

Greetings. Welcome to my 105th professional Blu-ray review. In today’s review, I contemplate my childhood. Growing up, I remember being “madly” enamored by Mad magazine, particularly one regular strip in particular, Spy vs. Spy. Do you remember those? Those black and white characters had me in stitches every time I read their strip and I […]
It’s spy vs. spy in the ultimate battle for one woman’s affection this May the action packed comedy, This Means War, dukes it out on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download May 22nd. Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine and Tom Hardy form the perfect love triangle in this psuedo adventure-comedic love story. I didn’t think I would […]
Growing up, I remember being enamored by Mad magazine, particularly one regular strip in particular, Spy vs. Spy. Do you remember those?

The Captains, is a feature-length documentary that “boldly goes where no man has gone before,” giving viewers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at one of the most durable and profitable franchises in entertainment history, and the men and women who made the Star Trek brand an international phenomenon since 1966. Written and directed by William Shatner, […]
Taking a look at Director Tony Scott’s filmography, it’s easy to see that he loves movies about vehicles and that he has a deep appreciation for speed. Top Gun, Days of Thunder, Crimson Tide, and The Taking of Pelham 123, represent just a few of his earlier efforts. Now he’s back with another train movie […]
Tony Scott’s UNSTOPPABLE arrives this Frbruary 15th and I’m excited to see it since I missed it in the theaters. If you’d like, you can read Aaron Neuwirth’s review for the movie here. Tony Scott usually delivers the goods, but I wish he would try something other than his usual hyper-kinetic style of shooting although […]
Unstoppable is the new action thriller from director Tony Scott and star Denzel Washington and presumably the second part of their “Train Trilogy,” which began with the tepid The Taking of Pelham 123, and will hopefully conclude with an adaptation of red-light/green-light taking place on a monorail and reuniting Denzel with his Man on Fire […]
