Derek Cianfrance has built his reputation on variations of bruised intimacy, which makes Roofman somewhat of a pivot. It’s a true crime oddity shaped into a warm character study. Blue Valentine might be a romantic implosion and The Place Beyond the Pines is a generational crime elegy. Roofman is Cianfrance exploring what happens when the […]
Based on an unbelievable true story, Roofman follows Jeffrey Manchester (Channing Tatum), an Army veteran and struggling father who turns to robbing McDonald’s restaurants by cutting holes in their roofs, earning him the nickname: Roofman. After escaping prison, he secretly lives inside a Toys “R” Us for six months, surviving undetected while planning his next […]
A Snapshot of 1998: The Year of Wild Ideas – The late ’90s were a strange and wonderful time for movies. It was the same summer that gave us Armageddon, The Truman Show, Saving Private Ryan, and Rush Hour. The box office was saturated with big-budget spectacle, disaster epics, and high-concept comedies. Nestled among these blockbusters was a modest, […]
When Bring It On burst into theaters in 2000, few expected a teen cheerleading comedy to become a pop culture touchstone. But 25 years later, it’s clear the film not only brought it, it stayed. Directed by Peyton Reed and written by Jessica Bendinger, Bring It On did more than showcase high-flying stunts and fierce […]
Brr… there must still be some Clovers and Toros in the atmosphere. 25 years since the teen cheerleading comedy hit the pop culture zeitgeist, the legacy film that launched a franchise of sequels shows off new moves as Bring It On [25th Anniversary Edition] arrives on June 24, 2025 from Shout! Studios. This Blu-Ray + […]
Over the years, Alex Gardner has pushed the visual boundaries of whatever genre he is playing in. If we were fearing AI in Ex-Machina, or extraterrestrials in Annihilation or zombies in 28 Days Later, Garland was delivering. The next real threat? The government is now authoritarian, and regions of the US are now grouping together […]
Prepare for a harrowing adventure on July 7th as Civil War arrives on 4K UHD, Blu-ray™, DVD, and Digital from Lionsgate. The nonstop action focuses on a team of military-embedded war correspondents racing against time to reach the White House before it’s too late. Featuring an all-star cast including Academy Award® nominee Kirsten Dunst (2021, […]
Paramount Presents continues to dig into the studio’s history from all eras and fill in the missing gaps of their Blu-ray catalog. Elizabethtown, Cameron Crowe’s 2005 effort, is a surprising film to be lacking. It came out the year before Blu-ray/HD-DVD launched, which feels like it would have made the film a candidate for an […]
When I saw the trailer for Drop Dead Gorgeous and then once the film released in 1999, later on home video, I just poked my nose up and said “nah!” and carried on. Young, adolescent, ignorant and stupid as I was in my youth as a “film lover” and one studying the art. I had […]
Twenty-five years after it’s release, director Gillian Armstrong’s Oscar-winning box office hit, Little Women, receives the 4K treatment – and even better, one with Dolby Vision. In theaters this holiday season, we have Greta Gerwig’s fantastic reimagining of Louisa May-Alcott’s classic novel while at home, we have the version that starred Winona Ryder, Claire Danes, Susan […]
This April, Sergei Parajanov’s masterpiece The Color of Pomegranates, a revelatory film-poem overflowing with sensuous imagery, will join the Criterion Collection, on Blu-ray for the first time and in a stunning new 4K restoration. Also making its Blu-ray debut, Leo McCarey’s genre-defining comedy The Awful Truth stars the irresistible Irene Dunne and Cary Grant as would-be ex-spouses who can’t […]
Pitting Colin Farrell against a house full of women in a horror film is a something I was not expecting from director Sofia Coppola. Perhaps calling The Beguiled “horror” is a bit of an overstatement, but the Coppola film does a lot to maximize tension. For a movie that is quite straightforward and relatively restrained […]
Hidden Figures is the kind of winning biopic I can easily champion. It joins a film like Queen of Katwe from last fall, in presenting a story I was not too informed about, with enough confidence to easily please those in search of a good story. The film does little to distance itself from other […]

There’s something pretty cool about seeing an indie director with a knack for human drama take on a genre film. Okay, so that applies to almost any newbie director handed the keys to a franchise, but how about one who has developed the story himself and is allowed by a studio to make such a […]
