It feels a movie of Titanic’s fame, fortune and history would be a title that releases quicker to each new home video format.

Like George Washington once said I cannot tell a lie. I haven’t told many people this, but Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is my most anticipated movie of 2019. I don’t know about you, but I feel like I’ve been waiting an eternity for another Tarantino film to release. Also, for the life of […]

When Sony announced the 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray release of Sam Raimi’s The Quick and the Dead, I found myself a bit surprised. It just wasn’t a film I’d think would be leaping to the format right away.
