The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
One of the unfortunate box office disappointments this summer was Lin-Manuel Miranda’s big offering of the musical In The Heights. One of the best reviewed movies of the year (And judging from social media reaction, it was very well received), it failed to strike anything at the box office. In addition, the numbers of its […]
Paramount’s a pretty timely studio when it comes to 4K Ultra-HD upgrades. If you have a franchise you like or a film that’s getting remade, they probably have a 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray release ready to go around the time it comes out. With the new GI Joe film Snake Eyes out in theaters, it was high time to […]
Now You See Me 2 won’t get any points for originality in the title department. There’s also the absence of one of the Fourth Horseman, Isla Fisher’s character, to explain. However, what I was at least hoping for here was some fun magic, deception and illusion tricks. That much the first film managed to provide. […]
The core concept behind these Now You See Me films is making heist movies with magicians. That sounds incredibly fun to me and apparently many others, as the first film was a sleeper hit, paving the way for this sequel. Now You See Me 2 takes the ‘bigger is better’ route seen with most sequels […]
Jem! I remember the Jem cartoon from my youth. Are you old enough to remember that? However, say it ain’t so? Jon M. Chu is directing this? That’s right ladies and gentlemen. Directed by Jon M. Chu (Step Up series, G.I. Joe: Retaliation), Jem and the Holograms, the October 23rd musical adventure stars Aubrey Peeples, Stefanie Scott, Aurora […]
“They” say that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is coined the savior of franchises as of late with his propelling inclusion in the almighty, righteous Fast Five and now the sequel to 2009’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, aptly titled G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Now I may be in the minority here, but I don’t feel […]
I was so against this movie when I heard there was not going to be any sign of the Baroness or Scarlett. They were the best parts of the first film, right? Well reluctantly I dragged my sorry butt to the theater months ago on a rainy Sunday afternoon and well…I actually really liked what […]
2009 saw the release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. While that film was a financial success and has its fans, it did not quite set the world on fire in the same way that Transformers, the other Hasbro toy-based movie franchise did. The consensus seems to be that it was too campy for […]
So this is an interesting situation to be in. I feel like I am both in the best position to review the concert film/documentary about pop sensation Justin Bieber, as well as one who does not have any business to be doing so. Similar to something like the ever-so-popular Twilight series, Justin Bieber is not […]
I think there is something that is important to address in regards to this web series and the person involved in its creation – Jon M. Chu. I am a fan of this writer/producer/director. The name may not be familiar as of now to many, but I think he is quite talented when it comes […]
