Rise of the Planet of the Apes (4K UHD Blu-ray Review)

Just what the world needed…another reboot of a legendary franchise.   That was exactly my sentiments when I first learned about the production of Rise of the Planet of the Apes.  I remember watching and enjoying the original films as a kid, but not enough to warrant my full attention to what was going on behind […]

Knight Of Cups (Blu-ray Review)

This Hollywood-based effort from writer/director Terrence Malick seemed to only leave a small impact in the year of its release, but Knight of Cups certainly feels like the director continuing to challenge himself. At the risk of repeating himself to the point of self-parody, one of the most elusive auteur directors made a Los Angeles […]

‘Knight Of Cups’ Is An Auteur In Overdrive (Movie Review)

It may be more worthwhile to examine the ‘what if’ scenario of what a superhero film directed by Terrence Malick would be like, rather than try to decipher his latest feature, Knight of Cups, but I’m going for it anyway.

Bring Caesar Home on Blu-ray

Here’s a movie that my jaw is still laying on the ground over and I STILL find myself grasping at straws when I try to describe just how powerful this film really is.  Never in a million years would I have believed you if you told me in January that Rise of the Planet of […]

Apes Will ‘Rise’, Caesar Will Lead

A world dominated by apes became the fascination of many back in 1968, when the original Planet of the Apes opened.  The sci-fi classic went on to spawn 4 sequels, two television series, and the 2001 re-imagining of the film, directed by Tim Burton.  Regardless of the mixed opinions concerning the most recent entry, 20th […]

Rise of the Planet of the Apes: The 2% Difference

There is only a 2% difference between the human genetic code and an ape.  What makes up that 2% difference is hard to tell, especially when seeing Rise of the Planet Apes.  The relationship between humans and apes, from communicating through sign language to aggressively defending those close to you, provided an almost disturbing yet […]
