The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
I feel like this film and I have a lot in connection whereas this flick had setback after setback getting made, I had nothing but difficulties trying to see this one theatrically. Fellow WSB reviewer Aaron Neuwirth can attest to the fact that I did get to catch the first twenty minutes of the feature […]
Did the world really need this? Is the world even ready for this? Wasn’t 10+ hours of theatrical cuts (and even more with the extended editions) enough to sit through back in the day and again on Blu-ray? Are we ready for three more consecutive years of a tale that’s mainly self-contained in one book […]
Although Fox never listed what was going to be covered during their Comic-Con panel this year, I knew I had to be there because I was pretty sure that The Wolverine would be included and I had a sneaky suspicion that we might get to see some X-Men: Days of Future Past footage. I was […]
Warner Brothers is celebrating its landmark 90th anniversary with a year-long initiative to release seven new major home entertainment collections. The campaign’s flagship release, The Best of Warner Bros. 100 Film DVD Collection, showcases 100 movies from the studio’s historic, hallowed archives — the largest film library in the world. The limited and numbered box […]
Brenna, Salim and Aaron review the long awaited return to “Middle-Earth” from director Peter Jackson. Starring Brenna Smith, Aaron Fink and Salim Lemelle. Directed by Liz Manashil. Synopsis: Bilbo leads a peaceful life until Gandalf knocks on his door. He enlists Bilbo to join a band of dwarves and reclaim their long-forgotten city. Together, they venture to […]
And so it begins; another tale of perilous, fantastical traveling. I think it is funny that I went into The Hobbit knowing incredibly little about the actual plot, only to find that there was not a whole lot to learn. I have not read any of J.R.R. Tolkien’s books and have only seen trailers for […]
Did the world really need this? Is the world even ready for this? Wasn’t 10+ hours of theatrical cuts enough to sit through back in the day and again on Blu-ray? Are we ready for three more consecutive years of a tale that’s mainly self-contained in one book and a few appendices? Of course we […]
The Hobbit is coming and not all at once! Greg is not happy. Starring Greg Karber. Directed by Amy Taylor. WATCH US ON PBS SOCAL Saturdays at 6PM or pbssocal.org/justseenit
It was indeed a giant block of presentations for Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures. Taking up over two and a half hours in Hall H on Saturday at Comic Con, they had plenty of amazing things they were prepared to show audiences. Following a look at what Legendary had to offer, it then became Warner […]
How would you like some acting lessons from such dramatic heavyweights as Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Judi Dench, Ben Kingsley, and David Suchet? As impossible as that may seem, that’s exactly what you get when you watch Playing Shakespeare since each of these performers are on hand to assist Royal Shakespeare Company’s Associate Director John […]
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” – Edmund Burke At last, we sadly come to the end. Third acts in movie franchises have historically been weaker than the movies that preceded them. There are rare exceptions to that but if you think about movies like […]
After the critical and commercial success of The Fellowship of the Ring, the expectations were higher for The Two Towers. For Peter Jackson and crew, The Two Towers was the hardest movie to make out of the three because when their script was changed from two movies (as originally intended) to three, some major changes […]
The greatest and most ambitious series of fantasy movies has finally come to Blu-ray! The Lord of the Rings trilogy represents one of the biggest gambles in modern film history as all three films were filmed at once with a director who was better known for small horror movies, not to mention the fact that […]
It’s hard to believe but we are one month away from what will be the biggest Blu-ray release of all-time… The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (Theatrical Editions) on Blu-ray. The Warner Bros./New Line release will hit retail shelves nationwide on April 6th. I suggest pre-ordering now to avoid any shortages at […]
