Confidential), Brad Pitt (Mr. & Mrs. Smith), and Gabriel Byrne (The Usual Suspects). This hybrid animated/live-action dark comedy creates a fantasy […]
This was an entirely fitting choice. Miller’s Crossing is one of the ultimate kinds of Criterion films in many ways. It’s a neo-noir, low-budget yet heavy on style and influence, one of the early efforts from the Coen brothers, a cult favorite for audiences, despite receiving plenty of acclaim at the time from critics then […]
Well, 2002’s Ghost Ship is now worthy of the Scream Factory Collector’s Edition, eh? All right. Time to revisit it, then. At the very least, new interviews and bonus features can paint an entertaining story about a film I’m pretty sure most people thought was a disappointment. I think the popular word on this one […]

Fans who order […]
I’m not last, but posting the day after Aaron Neuwirth is a tough act to follow. He’s the most informed of us here and is able to see an impressive amount of films released in a given year. For me personally, 2018 felt like I didn’t see as much as I would have liked to […]
In the first quarter of 1998, Titanic ruled the box office. Week in and week out, James Cameron’s film could not be stopped (Until Lost In Space finally overtook it). It was a phenomenon. One of its biggest challengers came in the form of the next movie that had the same star. DiCaprio vs DiCaprio […]
For the honor of the crown and the destiny of a country, four heroes must reassemble for one last epic battle in the cult film classic, THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK. Directed by Randall Wallace (We Were Soldiers, Pearl Harbor), Leonardo DiCaprio (The Revenant) leads a phenomenal cast, including Jeremy Irons (Red Sparrow), John Malkovich (Bullet […]
A family’s darkest secrets surface when Hereditary arrives on 4K Ultra HD™ Combo Pack (plus Blu-ray and Digital), Blu-ray™ Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital), and DVD September 4 from Lionsgate. Academy Award® nominee Toni Collette “is raw, almost feral, making us feel in our marrow what it’s like to be a mother losing control of her family and […]
Even in the midst of a major film festival the Indie outing dissections just keep on coming from yours truly. (Whew!) In any case flicks all over the map this week to add a little lesser-known film joy to the movie going experience. Tales of complicated family woes, docs on decent dudes and old film […]
Last January, the Vestron Video Collector’s Series added the film Lair Of The White Worm to their growing library. It was their first venture in the catalog of the fabled director, Ken Russell. Now, one year later, they are taking on his 1986 film Gothic. Its a significant little tale as it attempts to recount […]

Featuring performances from Patricia Arquette (TV’sMedium, Boyhood) and Gabriel Byrne (The Usual Suspects) with a cutting -edge score by Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins and Elia Cmiral, the visceral thriller Stigmata will make its blu-ray debut […]
More 90s horror from Scream Factory. Here’s another more recent cult classic, the Patricia Arquette-starring Stigmata. I remember this one being pretty popular amongst us “alternative” kids back in the day for some reason. While I never owned it, I do remember renting it a few times VHS. It’ll be interesting to revisit the film […]
Vampire Academy seems like it could have been a fun mix of meta-humor surrounding the recent wave of vampire and young adult novel themed-culture and satire dealing with high school drama. Unfortunately, this new film based on a young adult, paranormal romance book series (which I assume is a best-seller, because they all seem to […]
Bringing viewers deeper into the process of psychotherapy than perhaps any previous show, In Treatment: The Complete Third Season picks up as Dr. Paul Weston (Golden Globe winner Gabriel Byrne, The Usual Suspects) continues to struggle with the aftermath of his recent divorce as well as his move to Brooklyn where he now practices. In […]
The Usual Suspects was released May 10th as a Blu-ray Book. I haven’t yet made up my mind about this new case, which is basically a book with a slot in the back to stick the Blu-ray disc in. As our movies shelves are beyond capacity I like the idea that these digibooks are thinner […]
MGM is preparing the Musketeers for for a Blu-ray release on May 11th. Of course I am talking about the greatest Musketeer movie ever made…The Man in the Iron Mask. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, John Malkovich, Gabriel Byrne, Jeremy Irons, and Gerard Depardieu. This is a favorite of mine so I am welcoming it […]
