David O. Russell returned to theaters back in October with the star heavy cast ensemble film Amsterdam. This marked his first film since 2015’s Joy. Leading the charge of this one were Margot Robbie, John David Washington and Christian Bale. This “don’t make them like they used to” type movie didn’t really sizzle at the […]
Eddie Murphy’s 1992 romantic dramedy film Boomerang is one I’ve been eagerly awaiting a Blu-ray debut for over the years. Its pretty star studded and one of his best “I’m kind of the straight man now, no longer the goofball” movies of his that he would go on to do throughout the 90s. Paramount is […]
Both the Saw franchise and Fast and Furious franchises landed on their ninth installments here in 2021, originally meant for 2020 (Give or take Hobbes and Shaw. And I’ve seen where this new one being the ninth in the Saw storyline is debatable. Overcomplicated narratives is par for the course on screen and offscreen for […]
The terrifying new chapter in the book of Saw comes home when Spiral arrives on Digital July 13 and on 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack (plus Blu-ray and Digital), Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital), DVD, and On Demand July 20 from Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures. Spiral: From the Book of Saw is directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II, Repo! The […]
Yes, I’m in the same boat as you. Why is this not a 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray release, Paramount? Us collectors don’t care for your boasting of 4K Ultra-HD streams to “own”. At least the new transfers are being used for the Blu-rays on this new set that also includes some “new” extras for the taking […]
I missed all things Encapsulated last week so this time out I’m cinematically super sizing it! That’s right film fans, I’m checking out a record twelve flicks and from genre to ratings it’s a big old mixed bag. Gals with deadly gifts, romance amidst tragedy, proms and being shielded from the sun, stand up dissections, […]
Top Five is Chris Rock’s third go-around as writer/director of a feature film. His first film(s) were Head of State, and I Think I Love My Wife. I have not seen those two but was really anxious to see his latest film Top Five. The buzz surrounding Top Five was favorable and the trailers and promotional materials were pretty funny, so it […]
Infused with Chris Rock’s razor-sharp comedic edge, the “dazzlingly, uproariously funny” (Sam Lansky, Time) TOP FIVE debuts on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and VOD March 17, 2015 from Paramount Home Media Distribution. The film arrives two weeks early on Digital HD March 3. Hailed by critics as “authentically hilarious” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) and “fast and blisteringly funny” (Manohla Dargis, New […]
I am a fan of seeing live standup comedy. Something I have observed in that setting is what people can get away with. Something about the standup environment allows comedians and audiences (within reason) to joke and laugh about things they would otherwise consider too much of a taboo. With Top Five, Chris Rock has […]
Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo, and Melman the Giraffe are still fighting to get home to their beloved Big Apple and of course, King Julien, Maurice and the Penguins are all along for the comedic adventure. Their journey takes them through Europe where they find the perfect cover: a traveling circus, […]
It’s been 25 years since the action buddy film, Lethal Weapon, became a phenomenon in its genre and spawned a legacy of films on the heels of its success. Now Warner Home Video has debuted the ultimate Lethal Weapon Collection as a 5-Disc gift-set containing all four original theatrical releases in the series (Lethal Weapon, Lethal Weapon 2, Lethal Weapon 3 and Lethal Weapon […]
This animated action adventure Madagascar 3, the third movie in the series, is by far my favorite. It manages to effectively deliver laughs and enough exciting adventures to keep all the little ones entertained and giggling throughout its 95-minute run time. What a fun 3D summer movie for the whole family to see! I would […]
Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman are still trying to get back to their home in the Big Apple. But they must first go to Monte Carlo to track down the pesky penguins. Together with their friends, they navigate Europe as a travelling circus. This animated comedy stars the voices of Ben Stiller, Jada Pinkett Smith and Chris Rock […]

But as the magical day arrives, they rejoice in the miracle of new life. This ensemble romantic comedy stars Cameron Diaz, Matthew Morrison, Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock, Jennifer Lopez and […]
Some boys will be boys longer than others. The $208 million worldwide box-office smash, Grown Ups, starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider will arrive on Blu-ray Combo Pack and Single Disc Blu-ray on November 9th. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will be packing the Blu-ray release full of multiple blooper […]
What are up with these mega all-star cast films nowadays? Seems like we just can’t get enough of them no matter how bad they are. Hollywood studios slap a label on a one-sheet poster with five or more big box-office stars and all they have to do is sit back on their laurels and count […]
Martin Lawrence, Tracy Morgan, Zoe Saldana and Chris Rock lead an all-star cast in one of this year’s most outrageous comedies… Death at A Funeral. And now you can die laughing all over again (see my full theatrical review here) on August 10th when the Blu-ray hits retail shelves everywhere. The Blu-ray is loaded with deadly […]
I went into Wednesday night’s screening of Death at a Funeral with a bad attitude. My day was lackluster. It was one of those days you just simply eek through life and would rather forget. So long story short, I went into the preview screening already expecting to hate it. That’s always a bad thing […]
