To celebrate the release of Into the Woods next Tuesday on Blu-ray and Digital HD, Disney decided to share a couple clips with us to wet your appetite. Will you be purchasing this one, day one? If so, be sure to follow the Amazon link so you can not only lock yourself up a copy, […]
From the director of “Chicago” and the producer of “Wicked” comes a modern twist on the beloved fairy tales you thought you knew. Academy Award®-Winning actress Meryl Streep (Best Actress, The Iron Lady), leads an all-star cast in this enchanted adventure about daring to venture Into The Woods. Iconic characters, such as Cinderella, Little Red […]
At its best, Mortdecai is an adult-skewing drama that uses its big-name cast to its advantage, as everyone does their best to show how much fun they are having, while being moved along by the comic zip of director David Koepp’s direction. This is not a sentence that I can apply to the whole movie, […]
Never a post of joy, but every year does see the release of films that are not very good. I never seek out films with the purpose of hating them and a majority of these are not without redeemable elements, but if I have at least 10 films on a list that I consider better […]
Given how much they talked/sang about it, I was glad that everyone definitely went into the woods. Two things: I was not at all hip to knowing anything about the original Into the Woods stage musical before this film was announced and I enjoy the musical style of Stephen Sondheim. With that in mind, I […]
Tusk is one of those rare gems where if you never heard of it before and accidentally stumble upon the film’s trailer you secretly say to yourself I just got to see it, if for nothing else, the shock value. However, I know what you’re all thinking. Is it worth 90-minutes of your life? To […]
Today Disney has unveiled their teaser trailer for the upcoming live action film adaptation of the longtime favorite musical Into The Woods! I saw this one long ago back in the 90s and remember it being quite a bit of good fun. So, I’m kind of looking forward to seeing this. It comes from Rob […]
Going into 2014, Transcendence was on my “movies to check out” list. I didn’t really know all too much about it. Mainly, it was the prospect of seeing longtime Christopher Nolan collaborator Wally Pfister make his directorial debut. It was the notion of seeing someone from the Nolan tree branch out was attractive enough to […]
Here’s a movie I was really looking forward to in 2014 and then I wound up not even seeing it in theaters. I figured being something coming from a person off of the Nolan tree it had a chance. I still can’t pass a judgement the film as I’ve not seen it myself, but I […]
For a techno-thriller about artificial intelligence, it actually seems to make sense that Transcendence does not have a whole lot of emotion to back up its big ideas, aside from Paul Bettany’s cry face, which makes its appearance now and again. This is a film that could have worked as a cheesy B-movie with the […]
This is not really a post of joy, but every year does see the release of films that are just not good. I do not try to seek out these films, with the majority being ones that I did think could have redeemable elements, but that just wasn’t the case here. This list contains what […]
I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it. The 4 hour, entire franchise spanning documentary on the Nightmare On Elm Street series is finally making the leap from DVD to Blu-ray next month! I have every bit of confidence in telling you that this is the best, most detailed and comprehensive documentary ever put […]
Happy new release Tuesday! It’s also the first Tuesday in November. Meaning, all the dates for Blu-ray releases through the end of the year are pretty much set and locked in by now. There could be a wild card for late December thrown in somewhere, but it’s highly unlikely it would be an older catalogue […]
Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer star in The Lone Ranger, from Jerry Bruckheimer Films and Director Gore Verbinski. It’s a wild ride of high velocity action, explosions and gunfights that brings the famed masked legend to life through brand-new eyes. The Lone Ranger (Hammer), the last of his kind, teams with Tonto (Depp), a dark and […]
In 2002, audiences were able to see what came of a failed film that would have starred Johnny Depp. This film was Lost in La Mancha, a documentary that chronicled the attempt by director Terry Gilliam to make a film about Don Quixote, only to be undone by production and budget problems, forcing the film […]
When I first learned that Disney was bringing back The Lone Ranger to the big screen I have to admit, I got rather excited. Despite not being a huge fan of Westerns, I have fond childhood memories of the masked fighter of injustice and his white stallion, Silver. Hi-ho Silver! Away! However, I had to […]
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the comedy team behind the Golden Globe-winning BBC series “The Office” and acclaimed HBO series “Extras” and “The Ricky Gervais Show”, bring another series to television with “Life’s Too Short”. Starring actor Warwick Davis (Willow) as a fictionalized version of himself, the series takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the travails of a little person […]
This worst-of list will not be as long as my other Top 10 lists due to the fact that some films that were downright unwatchable weren’t even watched all the way through. I decided not to subject myself to them, so some of these selections will probably just get “honorable worst-of” mentions instead, or a […]
