Drop Dead Gorgeous (Blu-ray Review)

When I saw the trailer for Drop Dead Gorgeous and then once the film released in 1999, later on home video, I just poked my nose up and said “nah!” and carried on. Young, adolescent, ignorant and stupid as I was in my youth as a “film lover” and one studying the art. I had […]

The Cobbler (Blu-ray Review)

The Cobbler is the latest film from writer/director Tom McCarthy (The Station Agent, The Visitor, Win Win). It stars Adam Sandler as a shoemaker who acquires magical powers. Yes, that makes it sound like something fairly dim and fitting of Sandler’s more outlandish crop of films, but this is not a Happy Madison production. As […]

Eddie And The Cruisers / Eddie And The Cruisers II: Eddie Lives! – Double Feature (Blu-ray Review)

Prior to this review, I don’t have any history with the Eddie And The Cruisers duology.  I know the first film was a $5.99 – $9.99 bargain bin/sale rack staple back when it was on DVD.  It was a about a band, but other than that I was clueless.  There was also the surprise that […]

Johnny Handsome (Blu-ray Review)

When this movie was released in 1989 it I don’t remember hearing about it and I’d never seen it until now.  At the time of this movie’s release, Mickey Rourke was near the beginning of his career freefall after a decade of hits.  After this movie failed, his rollercoaster career began which is a shame […]
