The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
Last year, Shout! Factory introduced the wonderful world of LAIKA animation to their library. They released beefed up editions of the previously released beloved first four films in the studio’s canon. Now, they are beginning the upgrade to 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray. On December 13th, they’ll be starting with Coraline and ParaNorman. Both films have new […]
In what seems like an incredibly perfect match, Shout! Factory will be releasing new digitally remastered versions of the first four films from the wonderful stop-motion animation studio, LAIKA. Those films include Coraline, ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls and Kubo and the Two Strings. In addition to the new restorations, every release will feature new bonus features while carrying over […]
Where to begin with this film. There are great actors, solid performances, and an engaging based on a true story storyline… Yet why does it seem like a complete and utter mess? Why does the film seem discombobulated, half baked and partially made? Story points open, yet don’t close out…. Welcome to a “Royal Mess” […]
Winding down the spring into summer movie season, there was the big hit move, A Quiet Place, which proved to be no joke. But, making the jokes was another solid film, Blockers. While it didn’t do gangbusters, the film proved to be a pretty solid hit financially. Add to that, it was very much well […]
Hysterical and over-the-top parental trio John Cena (Trainwreck, Sisters), Leslie Mann (The Other Woman, This Is 40) and Ike Barinholtz (Neighbors, Suicide Squad) will do anything to foil their daughters’ prom night sex pact in BLOCKERS, the uproarious hit coming to Digital and the all-new digital movie app MOVIES ANYWHERE on June 19, 2018, and Blu-ray™, […]
I really hope this goes without saying, but you never know. The worst you can ever do is to assume. So here’s the million dollar question I feel I need to ask before we start legitimately talking about the new comedy film Blockers. You all know what the rooster in front of the word “Blockers” […]
Put your game face on when “How to Be Single” arrives onto Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD. From New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, in association with Flower Films, a Wrigley Pictures Production, “How to Be Single” stars Dakota Johnson (“Fifty Shades of Grey”), Rebel Wilson (“Pitch Perfect”), Damon Wayans, Jr. (“Let’s Be Cops”), Anders […]
There is something to be said for how close to good the otherwise messy How To Be Single is. Taking a sharp turn from last year’s Valentine’s Day weekend release starring Dakota Johnson, Fifty Shades of Grey, here we have a film that manages to settle down every now and then to provide some genuine […]
Believe it or not, July 29th’s Vacation is actually the fifth theatrical and the seventh total installment of the National Lampoon’s Vacation series. However, that stat does little to phase or impress me. While I loved some of the earlier National Lampoon’s Vacation movies, the trailers for 2015’s Vacation absolutely rocked. So much so that I felt if a trailer can elicit that much laughter […]
The Griswolds embark on an ill-fated adventure when New Line Cinema’s Vacation arrives onto Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital HD. Starring Ed Helms (The Hangover films) and Christina Applegate (the Anchorman films), Vacation marks Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley’s directorial debut. Vacation will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on […]

All I knew about the first Rio going into this was that it was the film that topped the box office the weekend Scream 4 was released. It was a huge hit, taking almost half a billion dollars worldwide. In order to properly review Rio 2, I had to watch Rio before this and wow…I’m […]
Three grown woman find out they are sharing the same guy and become friends with a mission to have their silly revenge. Admittedly I do not have a whole lot of tolerance for these kinds of movies. I am not talking about ‘chick flicks’, as there are plenty of ‘chick flicks’ that I enjoy and […]
While I was never a big fan of The Smurfs, among other older cartoons that have since been turned into animated features, Peabody’s Improbable History, which was a part of The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show, was a series of skits that I always found entertaining. I haven’t watched Peabody in years, but seeing this new […]
The Bling Ring is Sofia Coppola’s 5th theatrical feature and it seems like her least essential effort. Coppola’s confidence as a filmmaker is certainly apparent, though this film, much like her previous film, Somewhere, relies a lot on repetition. Much different from Somewhere, however, The Bling Ring is a film that is much more dynamic […]
I am not sure how concerned with my own age I should be when thinking about This Is 40, but I can say that I have doubts that Judd Apatow’s new film about a couple with two kids living in a mansion in LA, facing financial issues, because Paul Rudd’s record label is not doing […]
Sean, Liz and Brenna review this “sort-of” sequel to Knocked Up from Judd Apatow. Starring Sean Wright, Liz Manashil and Brenna Smith. Directed by Matt Breault. Synopsis: Pete and Debbie are rapidly approaching middle age. But Pete is desperately trying save his record label. So their family, careers and finances all get tested. WATCH US ON PBS […]
ParaNorman was first introduced to me by a former co-worker whose family’s business (Peak Solutions LLC) just so happened to be directly involved in the production of this 3D stop-motion animated adventure film. How you say? Well they supplied/sold the many 3D rendering color printers the studio/production team used to create thousands of models that […]
