The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
Following The Mist, I was also able to attend another very entertaining scheduled event at the Hero Complex Film Festival, a back-to-back screening of the The Devil’s Backbone and Pan’s Labyrinth. Both are films written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, who provided an hour-long Q&A in between features. For anyone who is familiar with […]
Universal’s Mama was a film I purposely missed when I had a chance to attend the press screening for it up in Cleveland. The movie’s trailer did not sell me and quite frankly, it looked God awful to me. I had already suffered through a Guillermo del Toro produced film before and I did not […]
Saturday was considered the most important day for WonderCon, at least as far as movie geeks were concerned, but the presentation for the new film from director Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth), the giant robots versus giant monsters movie known as Pacific Rim, was easily one of the most anticipated events of the whole […]
Here’s probably one of the only movies this year I am upset about that I missed out in the theater and I’m looking forward with much anticipation to checking this one out in the privacy of my own home this May courtesy of Universal Studios Home Entertainment (one of my favorite Blu-ray studios BTW). Mama […]
Between the Marvel Studios panel and the presentation that Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures had lined up for Hall H on Saturday at Comic Con, fans were in for all sorts of greatness to be shown to them, given that they were able to get into the very packed room. All the waiting done by […]
Acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and novelist Chuck Hogan bring their New York Times best-selling series of novels, the Strain Trilogy, to Dark Horse Comics with an ongoing adventure that takes a terrifying spin on the vampire genre. Renowned comics creator David Lapham (Stray Bullets, Silverfish) and artist Mike Huddleston (The Coffin, Butcher Baker) join […]
It’s been about three years or so since Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark began principle photography. All was fun and games until Miramax was bought out by Disney and several films in the Miramax slate were shelved. Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark was one of these films. At long last the film saw […]

Katie Holmes (Batman Begins, Jack and Jill), Guy Pearce (The King’s Speech, HBO’s “Mildred Pierce”) and Bailee Madison (Just Go With It) star in Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, the frightening horror film from Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy) debuting on Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital January 3rd from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. When she moves in […]
The haunted house horror subgenre has seen resurgence lately; with films like Paranormal Activity and Insidious providing fresh and clever takes on material that has been done quite a bit in the past. Hell, even last week’s Fright Night, a vampire film, managed to provide a house of horrors for its characters. Don’t be Afraid […]
In all honesty, I am afraid of the dark. Let’s just get it all out there. I am a perfect candidate to assess the sinister atmosphere of a movie and be successfully disturbed, because a lot of things scare me. I am a baby, I have no shame. I had no idea what to expect […]
Comic-Con started with a bang this year. Twilight was the first panel to headline the coveted Hall H lineup. Believe it or not, there were fans standing in line outside the convention center for over a week waiting to get in. Now that’s devotion! Our own Mary Welms will have full coverage of that panel […]

This is one film that I thought I would never have the pleasure of reviewing on the Blu-ray format. I’m glad to be mistaken. Why? Simply put, the more I have distanced myself from my summertime theatrical experience of Splice, the more I want to see it again. You know that old saying; absence makes […]
And I thought I had seen it all… Ah, Splice, words can’t even describe the disturbing visions I still have floating around in my head. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I’m not sure yet. I guess I need to let Tuesday night’s viewing experience sink in some more, cultivate and see […]
