The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
It seems like forever since the mighty Aaron Neuwirth wrote of the manic news that broke at San Diego Comic-Con 2013 here, which surprised the six thousand plus fans in attendance with news that the direct follow-up to the very divided Man of Steel entry would not necessarily be a solo outing, but also would include the infamous […]
Today is the day! The BIGGEST movie of the year, and still my personal favorite, is coming home to Blu-ray next month! And look at that box art. Sexy, sexy! Prepare for war when Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice arrives onto Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack, Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital […]

At its very best, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice depicts sequences ripped straight out of an Alex Ross comic book. When at its worst, this is a cold, muscled-up film that has the feel of something written by Frank Miller, minus the irony. There is far too much on display for me to call […]
There is nothing wrong with celebrating our heroes by recreating their legacy through film. Race is another sports biopic that delivers strong enough performances matching scenes recreating important events in history, with an ending featuring ‘wrap it up’ text over photos of the real people involved. It is simple enough to admire, but falls in […]
Nothing but spectacular doom and gloom. Watching this in Hall H was one hell of an experience. The cast came out, all bright smiles except for Affleck. His parents were killed when he was a child, after all. Can you blame him? Or maybe it’s the divorce. When discussing the great actors who have played Batman, […]
Two of Ridley Scott’s best films are coming to Blu-ray in all new collector’s editions. One is more obvious and that is Alien, Scott’s landmark sci-fi/horror feature, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary. The other is Kingdom of Heaven, celebrating its 10th anniversary as Scott’s most underrated feature (granted the Director’s cut version is where it’s at). […]
A supernatural love story set in the South, Beautiful Creatures tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers: Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich), a young man longing to escape his small town, and Lena (Alice Englert), a mysterious new girl. Together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town. Oscar nominee Richard LaGravenese […]
If Twilight has paved the way for movies like Warm Bodies and Beautiful Creatures to be made, then I am all for it at this point. I am not actively seeking out paranormal teen romance movies, but the fallout from one self-serious franchise has led to a couple, more accessible and enjoyable features that I […]
Liz, Leah and Sean review this morality tale and drama with an all-star cast. Starring Liz Manashil, Leah Aldridge and Sean Wright. Directed by David Freedman. Synopsis: Rory Jansen is a struggling novelist who is unable to get a book published. He accidentally finds an unclaimed manuscript that contains some of the best writing he’s ever seen. Rory […]
While watching Margin Call, a movie that I overall enjoyed, mainly due to the ensemble cast, I felt like wishing I could appreciate it more, given the subject matter. It is based around the events leading up to the start of the 2007-2008 financial crisis and feels like a film that could be easily watched […]
Based on the novel by Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited took a staggering two years to make and is the equivalent of seven feature films back-to-back. Waugh tells a poignant story of romantic yearning and loss set in the world of British aristocracy. The story is told in flashbacks as Irons, an officer in the British […]
An unforgettable story, breathtaking animation, beloved characters and award-winning music sets the stage for “The Lion King”, a Disney classic that follows the adventures of Simba, the feisty lion cub who “just can’t wait to be king.” But his envious Uncle Scar has plans for his own ascent to the throne, and he forces Simba’s […]
Dungeons & Dragons is a powerful brand. Even those that haven’t held their breath as they rolled a twenty-sided die have at the very least heard of it. With the global awareness of the brand, one would think that selling a movie based on the franchise would be an easy sell but it took a […]
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 […]
