Bros (Blu-ray Review)

Bros was labeled as the first LGBTQ+ romantic comedy of all time.  Major studio backed, maybe, but the label itself was a falsity.  In the 90’s, we had a few movies come and go, some surprising, some not and some were from major studios, even if they had straight actors in the roles.  What Bros […]

The King of Staten Island (Blu-ray Review)

By now, a new Judd Apatow movie means a film working to balance humor with pathos, while pushing the limits of its story via a lengthy runtime. For a comedy, The King of Staten Island is most certainly another Apatow flick requiring the viewer to determine whether or not 2+ hours were essential. As it […]

The Big Sick (Blu-ray Review)

Every comedian has a story, which is likely why they are comedians, to begin with. Detailing the ways life has set one on a particular path makes a lot of sense when it comes to shaping an act designed to entertain people. Comedy can certainly go with life’s tragedies, as an old saying even involves […]

Girls: The Final Season (Blu-ray Review)

When Lena Dunham’s Girls debuted, I gave it a watch. I didn’t make it past the pilot. It turned me off big time and I hated pretty much every character. Sometime during season 3, I was unemployed and binging some HBO stuff I hadn’t seen and decided on giving Girls another shot. The problem I […]

The Big Sick (SXSW Review)

The Big Sick is an uproariously funny comedy that had to tread a very difficult line since a major portion of the film takes place in a hospital and has one of the major characters in a coma. A film written by and starring Kumail Nanjiani (“Silicon Valley”), directed by Michael Showalter (Wet Hot American […]

‘Popstar’ Has Plenty Of Hooks To Keep You Laughing (Movie Review)

With three albums and success that ranges from internet fame to directorial work to starring roles in film and TV, The Lonely Island (the comedy trio consisting of Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone) have rightfully built up to this. Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is essentially ‘Lonely Island: The Movie’, as it takes […]

Girls: The Complete Third Season (Blu-ray Review)

Girls, Girls Girls.  You hear a lot about this show, whether it be good, bad or “controversial”.  Having watched the show…I really don’t understand how this show is controversial at all.  Just because Lena Dunham doesn’t have a supermodel figure and gets naked?  Lame.  There are some moments push limits, but its HBO.  I think […]

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues Super-Sized R Rated Version Hits Theaters For A Week This February

I was relieved that Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues turned out to be a lot of fun.  I expected a Blu-ray to be packed with deleted, alternate, and extended scenes.  That will still likely happen, but now everyone will get a chance to see exactly that, as an alternate cut of the film, dubbed the […]
