The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
For my Top 10 list of favorite films from the calendar year of 2012 I decided to take the high road. What I mean by that is in these annual posts I also tend to pick on and rip apart all the films I either hated or was utterly disappointed by in the current calendar […]
While this was a huge year for long-awaited, big catalog title Blu-ray releases such as Finding Nemo, E.T., Jaws, Titanic, Chinatown and Indiana Jones, we also saw monstrous box sets take the High-Definition world by storm like Bond: 50, the Universal Monster collection, Hitchcock and more! And yes, finally…we got all caught up with all […]
The Astonishing X-Men 2-Disc Blu-ray Collection is the perfect gift for the ultimate Marvel fan. This collection is available in stores nationwide November 13, 2012 from Shout! Factory, in association with Marvel Knights Animation. The 2-Disc Blu-ray collection boasts all four Astonishing X-Men adventures (Gifted, Dangerous, Torn, & Unstoppable) from Joss Whedon, the mastermind behind the massive hit film Marvel’s The Avengers, and award-winning […]
The chart-topping super-team of Joss Whedon (“Marvel’s The Avengers”) and John Cassaday (Captain America, Planetary) return for more action on home entertainment shelves in Astonishing X-Men: Torn! Comic book pages from the third story arc of this acclaimed series by one of Marvel’s greatest collaborations between Whedon and Cassaday come alive from Shout! Factory, in association […]
There aren’t too many television shows that can draw an audience of screaming 7,000 fans to Comic-con to celebrate its tenth anniversary and if there are any, they were most likely created by Joss Whedon. Before becoming the celebrated director of the world’s third biggest hit, The Avengers, Whedon specialized in making awesome television shows […]
Here’s a film that totally took me by surprise to become my number one feature earlier this year. It totally breaks away from the conventional chains and restrictive bonds of horror films and exploits the genre in ways not seen since the days of the Evil Dead franchise. And I for one was never expecting […]
Coming this fall, the third highest-grossing movie of all time and the #1 movie in the world, “Marvel’s The Avengers” assembles as you’ve never seen it before on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital and On-Demand platforms on September 25, 2012. In anticipation of this release, Marvel is also launching an all-new App in July – “The […]
Wrekin Hill Entertainment announced today that their hit film, COMIC-CON EPISODE IV: A FAN’S HOPE by Morgan Spurlock, will be released on DVD on July 10, 2012. Having seen the film (Review), I can say that anyone that enjoys Comic Con or has at least known about it or even people completely new to the […]
After seeing The Avengers twice, it seems like the entire concept of combining the Iron Man, Thor, and the Captain America franchises along with all of their supporting characters into one massive movie seems like a kick-ass idea with no chance of failure. But back in the late nineties that concept represented some pretty audacious […]
As a non-comic book reader, my history and knowledge about The Avengers and its characters isn’t that great and often consists of only one viewing of each of their individual movies. On the way to the theater my husband was quizzing me about the other movies so he could make sure I understood what had happened […]
I love it when a plan comes together. In one of the most ambitious film proposals in recent memory, The Avengers has finally arrived and paid off greatly. Setting itself up back in 2008 with Iron Man and adding on layers through the other four Marvel Comic films that have come since, the massive gamble […]
As soon as the marketing for The Cabin in the Woods finally started to kick into gear for this long-delayed release (MGM went bankrupt and the flick was left in limbo), I went on media blackout for it. Having heard for so long that the movie is quite good and clever (which it is), but […]
I believe San Diego Comic-Con has gained enough relevance in the cultural zeitgeist where people are at least aware of its existence, regardless if they truly know what it is or what it used to be. In the documentary Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope, Morgan Spurlock attempts to pull back the curtain on what […]
This past weekend, the 2012 SXSW Film Festival opened with Drew Goddard’s Cabin in The Woods, a horror/comedy mashup you’re going to end up seeing on a whole bunch of film geek top-ten lists come December 2012. The buzz surrounding Cabin in The Woods has—let’s be frank—kind of bordered on the hyperbolic, calling it a […]
What’s one of the hottest films dropping this year that everyone is salivating over? Well if you asked me, my answer would be Dark Knight Rises. Something tells me Gregg would have a different answer over here. But really, most comic book nerds and geeks across the country all have big ones for this little […]
Although Gregg Senko kind of reported on all things Hall H yesterday, I have a slew of photos from every panel that I wanted to share with all our readers. First up, is the surprise event of the night, maybe even a lifetime, depending upon who you are talking to. As we were beginning to […]
A place to sit is a much sought after item in the large Hall H of the San Diego Convention Center. The reason for this is due to the fact that this hallowed hall is where all the big budget films introduce their cast and trailers. Saturday saw the likes of some highly anticipated titles […]
