Low and behold, for the 40th anniversary of Raiders of the Lost Ark, we are gifted all the of the Indiana Jones film on the glorious 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray format. Sure, there will be a future set with the not yet as of now named Indiana Jones 5 filming for release in the summer of […]
Remember, remember the fifth of November. Warner Bros is also asking you this year to also remember, remember the third of November. That’s when they are releasing the very popular V For Vendetta onto 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray for the first time. The Natalie Portman-starring, Wachowski-produced adaptation of the popular graphic novel is getting a nice […]
Alien is a title I have been waiting for on the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray format for some time now. Ever since we got Prometheus and Alien: Covenant last year I felt we got shortchanged with no Alien release. But alas, they were strategizing. It’s the 40th Anniversary of the film. There was um a purpose for […]
Mamma mia – there sure are a lot of Indie outings this week! (So…here we go again!) We’re hitting the lesser known cinema scene to check out the offerings for film fans looking to reach well beyond the standard studio fare with seven hopefuls in various categories. Tales of lyrical racial tension, the price of […]
Jim Jarmusch is one of my favorite directors, and The Criterion Collection has seen fit to treat me with a release of Dead Man, his offbeat western from 1995, starring Johnny Depp. Featuring a strong and very Jarmusch supporting cast, beautiful black and white cinematography, and an improvised electric guitar score by Neil Young, Dead […]
Finding the right focus and exploring a character in interesting ways is what I enjoy when it comes to biopics. Jackie has the right idea. This is not a film about the life of Jackie Kennedy. It also doesn’t place her in a supporting role, so we can follow someone else around and observe her […]
As is tradition in Hollywood, there are usually two films in a cinema-going year that are based on the same subject matter. We’ve had years of double Joan of Arc movies, meteor gonna hit earth movies, volcano movies and even Truman Capote biopic movies. This year was the year of Hercules. First was the Renny […]
I enjoy science fiction stories quite a bit. Whether it ranges from plausible ideas regarding the future of our current society or to things a bit more abstract, I love seeing creativity on display. This especially goes for sci-fi films that allow a large number of filmmakers, actors, production designers, etc., to develop worlds, stories, […]

One of my favorite films of the year (Review HERE) and destined to become a cult classic, Snowpiercer is coming to Blu-ray and DVD on October 21st. This is the film set in a frozen world, where the earth’s population is contained entirely on board a train that circles the globe. Directed by Bong Joon-Ho, the […]
It makes a lot of sense that indie filmmaker Jim Jarmusch has finally made a film about vampires. He practically is one, given his height, slender and pale appearance, white hair, and the fact that he only pops up every so often to release a film into the night for the masses to find. The […]

Honestly I was not going to post this, but it has been stuck in my mind all day. The world did not need Kellan Lutz as Hercules, but putting The Rock in as Hercules has my attention. I am a big fan of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and while I do not go out of […]
