The Why So Blu top Blu-rays of 2015 wheel has spun and landed on me. Once again, I’m honored to close this out and go last. 2015 was a game-changer year for me with Blu-ray personally. For years, my colleague Gerard has been nagging at me to get a region-free player. I would complain about […]
When a group of cannibal savages kidnaps settlers from the small town of Bright Hope, an unlikely team of gunslingers, led by Sheriff Franklin Hunt (Kurt Russell), sets out to bring them home. But their enemy is more ruthless than anyone could have imagined, putting their mission – and survival itself – in serious jeopardy. […]
Furious 7 is the little engine that could in my opinion. Not even the untimely and tragic death of one of the franchise’s main stars, Paul Walker, was able to completely derail this speeding train from moving forward and becoming an unstoppable global phenomenon grossing over $1.5 billion dollars worldwide at the box office. Make no […]
Furious 7…you know…that little film that made over 1.5 billion dollars already worldwide. The box office blockbuster brings the franchise to all new gravity-defying heights (literally) in the biggest, most heartfelt (with the film’s touching tribute to the late Paul Walker, taken from this world way too young) and action packed ride yet. And best […]
Academy Award nominee Mariel Hemmingway (Best Supporting Actress, Manhattan) stars as Christine, the school teacher girlfriend of lead Kurt Russell who will become a pawn in a frightening game of cat & mouse in The Mean Season. Director Phillip Borsos’ nail-biting thriller The Mean Season, from a screenplay by Leon Piedmont based on the novel […]
Can I gloat for just a brief second to start this off? Back in 2013 when I reviewed Scream Factory’s release of John Carpenter’s Body Bags, I mentioned that if there were to be an Escape From New York Collector’s Edition, that I’d like the collective that were interviewing John Carpenter to be involved with […]
Furious 7 is the little engine that could in my opinion. Not even the untimely and tragic death of one of the franchise’s main stars, Paul Walker, was able to completely derail this speeding train from moving forward. Make no doubt about it. The Fast and the Furious franchise has been quite the global exploit […]
Continuing the global exploits in the unstoppable franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of Fast & Furious 7. James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series that also welcomes back favorites Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas […]
Well, this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for, right? Scream Factory putting out John Carpenter’s Escape From New York on a Collector’s Edition Blu-ray. Snake Plissken’s original adventure is finally getting some respectful treatment on the best format. With their track history of John Carpenter titles well in tow and high regard, we […]
It should be no surprise that Furious 7 is one of my most anticipated films of the year. All the main players return and the cast gets all the added value in the world in the way of Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, Djimon Hounsou, and Tony Jaa, among others. Now under James Wan’s direction, the action […]
There is certainly a lot of interest coming with the next installment in the Fast & Furious franchise. The unfortunate passing of Paul Walker is part of the curiosity for many, in terms of both looking at an unfortunate incident and wondering how this film will work around it, but to put that bit of sadness […]
Anchor Bay’s The Art Of The Steal is another one of those movies making the Video OnDemand market even more deserving of your attention. This one even boasts a pretty impressive cast. Nobody is a “wow how’d they get them!?” kinda deal, but as a collection of people its rather enough to peak your interests […]

What were you doing in 1987? I was busy having my 10th birthday and Garry Marshall was busy directing Overboard. Overboard is one of those movies that wouldn’t make it into my top 100 – but I always stop clicking through the channels when I see it on cable. The following plot summary will summarize […]

On the heels of the very successful Troy, Wolfgang Peterson brings us what could be his third entry into his “water” trilogy. Das Boot, The Prefect Storm, and now Poseidon. Yes, THAT Poseidon. No, it’s not the Greek god from Clash of the Titans. It’s a remake…another one. I think you know where this is […]
There are so many “what’s the greatest” questions out there. What’s the greatest pizza? What’s the greatest Super Bowl team? What’s the greatest movie? You could literally ask and debate all day long, but how about, ‘what’s the greatest upset in sports?’ Well now, that’s easy…and speak of the devil, we’re approaching the 30-year anniversary […]
