The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
Chernobyl made its 4K UHD Blu-ray debut at the beginning of December. However, as Lethal Weapon character Martin Riggs would say “It’s the silly season” and with my day job and other commitments keeping me busy I wasn’t able to watch thee miniseries as quickly as I’d like. But no worry, as I have for […]
The multiple Emmy® and Golden Globe® Award-winning miniseries from HBO, Chernobyl, will be released on 4K Ultra HD Blu-rayTM Combo Pack by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. Available on December 1, 2020, Chernobyl features an ensemble cast that includes Jared Harris (The Crown, Mad Men), Stellan Skarsgård (Melancholia, Good Will Hunting) and Emily Watson (Hillary and […]
Make no mistake about it, Everest is not going to win any feel good movie-of-the-year awards on the new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray format. It’s a very cold and brutal experience to behold especially now that it’s crystal clear and more pronounced than ever on the new home media format. The extra clarity of the […]
I saw this one theatrically and it did not make me miss my hometown of Cleveland, OH one bit. In fact, if I never saw snow again, I’d be alright. With that being said this is a very cold movie. Brr. So here’s the deal. Unbridled ambition, a ferocious storm, and the limits of human […]

In a past time and place, this film would have seemed a kind of shoe-in for Academy Award nominations. It all too much feels like that very safe King’s Speech kind of film. Alas, it barely made […]
It is strange that a film like The Book Thief will likely be facing an uphill battle in its efforts to be regarded as a praise-worthy film, beyond just the idea that sits as pure Oscar bait. Granted, it is a WWII drama, set in Germany, based on a popular novel that deals with a […]
It’s easy to write off sentiment. Having a sweet-natured sensibility is apparently a negative for films that wear their hearts on their sleeves these days. I don’t feel this way when the film is both effective and presents more than just these qualities. Before seeing Spielberg’s beautifully made War Horse, I had recently seen The […]
So finally, after a decade’s worth of film, we have now reached the end of the Harry Potter movie franchise (minus potential spin-offs or whatever). This is a pretty major event as far as large film series go. Never has a major motion picture series managed to maintain all of the key actors for every […]
