The first clue is a curl of shed snakeskin. A detail that shouldn’t exist in a city that has spent a century pretending reptiles don’t belong inside its borders. The mystery coils into a story of who gets to write history and who gets written out. Nine years is a long time to wait for […]
Join the fun and rewatch the wild, witty and award-winning Zootopia 2 when the film hops onto Disney+ March 11. Rookie cops Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde team up for a hiss-terical undercover escapade, taking audiences deep into hidden corners of the animal metropolis. In the real world, Zootopia 2 received the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Feature, […]
I’ll admit it — when I first heard Zootopia 2 was finally happening almost a decade after the original, I wondered if lightning could strike twice. But from the moment the bright, bustling streets of Zootopia filled the screen again, it became clear this isn’t just a sequel for the sake of nostalgia. It’s a story with […]
Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are back on the case for a witty, wildly comic adventure that takes them to unexpected new parts of the animal metropolis when Disney’s Zootopia 2 arrives on Digital platforms January 27, including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. The im-paw-fect partners’ undercover escapades continue with the […]
And with that, another year of cinema has come to a close. As always, there were standouts, letdowns, pleasant surprises, and your generally fun popcorn films. Reflective of 2023’s greatest pictures, the award ceremonies should be interesting in early 2024. Just when you thought Cillian Murphy was a shoe-in for a Best Actor Oscar, here […]
Amid the triumphant box office phenomenon that was Black Panther, we witnessed many would-be blockbusters falter of produce average/underwhelming results. However, there were some solid counter-programming hits during that run. One of those was the R-rated adult comedy-mystery Game Night. Taking the silver to Black Panther its opening weekend, the film made a solid run […]
Laugh from beginning to end when “Game Night” arrives on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital. The Blu-ray Combo Pack features a Blu-ray disc with the film in high definition, a Blu-ray disc with the special features in high definition, a DVD with the film in standard definition, and a Digital version of the movie. “Game Night” will […]
There seems to be a brand of studio comedies in the 2010s that do enough to hold you in place for 90-100 minutes and then instantly evaporate afterward. It’s not unlike other decades, but there’s the addition of flashy direction that makes me think the film was at least trying hard. That’s the sort of […]
Teen Wolf had a brief run in the 1980s where it was a very big deal, with plenty of stuff for it to market on. The first film was a big hit that had a superstar in Michael J. Fox. That film then spawned a cartoon series for Saturday mornings that ran for a couple […]
Hooooooooooooooowl! On August 8, 2017, Scream Factory will present two classic films from the 1980’s, Teen Wolf (Collector’s Editon), starring Michael J Fox, and Teen Wolf Too (Collector’s Edition), starring Jason Bateman, the latter on Blu-ray™ for the first time. In addition, the Saturday morning kids show Teen Wolf: The Complete Animated Series will get […]
While I didn’t make it to the theater to see it, Office Christmas Party had my interest and attention. You put Kate McKinnon in something and you’ve immediately got that from me, but the movie looked like a little bit of escapism lunacy that would probably be a fun time. It opened the weekend right […]
Party like your job depends on it when the “hilarious” (Neil Genzlinger, New York Times) and “raucous” (Frank Lovece, Film Journal) OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY arrives in a new unrated cut on Blu-ray Combo Pack April 4, 2017 from Paramount Home Media Distribution. Get the unrated version two weeks early on Digital HD March 21. When […]
The end of 2016 means an end to another year of great cinema. I had a tough time putting together this final list of films, as there was a strong selection to go through. Having watched over 175 films theatrically this year, it was fun to narrow things down to a final list of ten […]
As always when I do these “Best” lists, I ask two things of you, the reader. Take the words best or top and replace it with “favorite”. And importantly, number or ranking doesn’t matter, what is included does. 2016 was an interesting year for me, in that I feel a hair underqualified, but still, this […]
For those seeking the holiday film that dials down the action and isn’t trying to make you cry, Office Christmas Party delivers on what you’d expect in a good way. It may not go down as a great comedy or even a great Christmas comedy, but it has a lot of funny people being consistently […]
Central Intelligence is a movie that came and went theatrically that I cared nothing about. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to see it, but I just didn’t want to see it theatrically if that makes any sense. I believed Central Intelligence to just be one of those throwaway films that we merely deem mediocre or passable. I […]
