The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
I have to admit, I’m really getting on this 4K bandwagon, which is why it excites me that I waited to pick The Martian up on 4K Blu-ray. So here’s the latest news. The film that blew audiences away is back and bigger than ever with more than two hours special feature material that will […]
With a couple Golden Globe wins and lots of Oscar potential, director Ridley Scott has made his best film in a decade, as The Martian delivers on being an exciting visual success, with a tremendous cast making it all the more worthwhile. Matt Damon leads the way in a film about one man surviving 140 […]
This is always a tough list to put together. I see over a hundred movies a year and a lot of those films are ones I’ve been anticipating to some degree, while many others are smaller films that randomly arrive on the calendar months after the start of the year. I am aware there are […]
So concludes this year of movie adventures! There have definitely been some surprising highs along with a few soul crushing lows, (cough) Fantastic 4 (cough). But through it all, we have persevered to reach the truly great films of the past year that keep giving us a reason to leave our cozy homes in favor […]
THE MARTIAN proved to be a big hit with critics and audiences this past fall. Matt Damon and Ridley Scott, among many others, worked together to make one of the most enjoyable survival stories of the year. Now everyone can “Bring Him Home” with the highly anticipated release of the stellar movie event of the year. Buckle […]
The Martian is one of those rare moments where I went into the movie knowing full well what was going to happen. No, I’m not clairvoyant. I read the book written by Andy Weir. However, what makes the headlines even more interesting besides me reading a book is the fact that Andy’s novel was first self […]

Before Ocean’s trilogy, 21 and the disappointing remake of The Gambler, the casino genre consisted of great films like The Cincinnati Kid and The Sting. Movies released in the past decade haven’t all been bad, but IMDB’s list of top casino films demonstrate that there are very few that are just as stellar as the […]
Terry Gilliam returned to his realm of unique science fiction last year (or 2013 for some) with The Zero Theorem. Many want to believe this is the third part in some sort of trilogy that include Gilliam’s earlier works of Brazil and 12 Monkeys. 12 Monkeys, by the way, is one of my most cherished […]
You want to witness a vision of the techno-philosophical future from visionary director Terry Gilliam (Brazil, 12 Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas)? Well, that will all be possible when The Zero Theorem debuts on Blu-ray and DVD Jan. 20th from Well Go USA Entertainment and Amplify. Two-time Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz (Best Supporting Actor: Inglourious Basterds, 2009; Django Unchained, 2012) […]
Director Terry Gilliam falls into the category of filmmakers that make movies that fit entirely into their own genres. Quentin Tarantino makes Tarantino movies rather than straight comedies or action movies. Tim Burton used to not really make horror or fantasy films, but instead he made Tim Burton films (hopefully he gets back to that […]
George Clooney’s action thriller THE MONUMENTS MEN marches its way onto Blu-ray Combo pack, DVD and Digital* May 20 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Robert M. Edsel with Bret Witter, the film pays tribute to the real men and women who risked their lives to recover and […]
For all the great things The Monuments Men brought together in an effort to make an exciting war picture, with a good-natured twist, the film certainly felt pretty lifeless and dull. I tend to make it no secret that I am happy to embrace the marketing of films, in an effort to get me excited […]

Secretary Rhodes, a government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. […]

There has been a fair share of original science fiction films hitting theaters in the past year; many of which depicting earth in a dystopian setting. Films like Looper and Oblivion show earth at various levels of despair, while also finding a way to provide beauty in the aftermath of a planet overcome by destruction. […]
So if there was a place you could live out all your remaining days in paradise far away from the stress, disease and overpopulated slums on planet Earth that even offers private medical machines, which are able to deliver instant cures, wouldn’t you do anything to be there? That’s a rhetorical question. Of course you […]
