Wicked: For Good takes the politics and emotion of the first film and pushes it into a more confident and satisfying register. The story lands where it’s always been heading, making the whole two-part experiment click into place. Jon M. Chu lets the big musical numbers grow out of character. He’s less interested in turning […]
Walking out of Jon M. Chu’s Wicked: For Good, I didn’t feel like I had watched a sequel — I felt like I had watched the completion of a single, sweeping story. Much like the Broadway musical itself, this film functions as Act II rather than a follow-up designed to escalate spectacle. It’s a continuation in the […]
Just in time for the New Year, fans can rejoycify and return to the Emerald City for the epic conclusion to the untold story of the witches of Oz, now from the comfort of their own home. After debuting at #1 at the global box office earning a thrillifying $223M and surpassing Part One as […]
Wicked: For Good takes the foundation of the first film, from politics, to emotion, to the visual grandeur, and pushes it into a more confident, more unsettling, and ultimately more satisfying register. The story lands where it’s been heading, making the whole two-part experiment click into place. Jon M. Chu lets the big musical numbers […]
Last year’s global cinematic cultural sensation, which became the most successful Broadway film adaptation of all time, now reaches its epic, electrifying, emotional conclusion in Wicked: For Good. Directed once again by award-winning director Jon M. Chu and starring the spectacular returning cast, led by Academy Award® nominated superstars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the final chapter […]
Westerns in the 1980s weren’t exactly dominating the box office, but Silverado came charging in like a breath of fresh desert air. Directed by Lawrence Kasdan, the film set out to be both a love letter to the classic westerns of old and a slick, modern update. Nearly forty years later, it still plays like a sprawling, […]
Silverado, a spirited Western stars Academy Award®-winner Kevin Kline (1988, Best Supporting Actor, A Fish Called Wanda), Scott Glenn, Academy Award®-winner Kevin Costner (1990, Best Picture and Best Director, Dances With Wolves), and Danny Glover as four unwitting heroes who cross paths on their journey to the sleepy town of Silverado. Little do they know […]
Since 1939, The Wizard Of Oz has been a great source of entertainment for filmgoers. Before that the L. Frank Baum novels captured the imaginations of people of all ages too. As a novel, then stage musical, Wicked has been on the minds of pop culture fans for decades now. After a long, and as […]
Ring in the New Year with the grand cinematic triumph WICKED!

The Vestron Video series lives! Continuing to bring films from the obscurities of VHS and DVD to Blu-ray, the line has been both fantastic to see things roll out with superb extras and on the wallet. They really do put these out for a steal on Day 1. The latest serving from them is 1988’s […]
Jurassic World: Dominion sees a conclusion to the Jurassic World series as well as a capper on the Jurassic Park movies as a whole (til someone makes more). Bringing the original cast into the fold to meet the new characters led by Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt, the film was one of the biggest […]
Jurassic World Dominion finally hits IMAX and normal-sized screens after production woes that included multiple shutdowns due to COVID. Like Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, this Colin Trevorrow-directed flick is marketed as an “epic conclusion” to the iconic series that changed VFX forever in 1993 with Spielberg’s top-notch direction. The hook for the third World […]
The great thing about this surprise Criterion Collection choice, Bill Duke’s 1992 undercover cop thriller Deep Cover, is that it’s a great film, regardless of its placement in Criterion’s extensive library. As much as I dig the collection, it’s not hard to see a curious lack of films directed by Black Americans. Whether or not […]
There have been sets made of The Fly films in the past. However, those were limited to just the eras. The old The Fly films stuck together and the two from the 1980s teamed up for double feature discs. But, never has the whole encompassing world of The Fly been available in one big collection…UNTIL […]

Since the year is winding down yet award hopefuls are hitting now fast and furious, there is no shortage of indie outings to choose from. So to help alleviate the overabundance of movies past and present I’m taking fans over the next two months on my journey of not only the traditional tried and true […]
Wes Anderson has built a filmography full of work that could never be mistaken for another filmmaker, and he’s managed to take ambitious chances as well. That said, Isle of Dogs feels like a notable departure from Anderson’s comfort zone. Beyond being another stop-motion animated effort, the use of Japanese culture and a healthy dose […]
Wes Anderson is a director that just doesn’t seem to know how to disappoint me. His second stop-motion animated feature once again proved to be a delight. Movie fans can add ISLE OF DOGS to their digital collection on Movies Anywhere beginning June 26th and purchase the Blu-ray and DVD starting July 17th. The film features an all-star cast […]
