The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
A lot of times I see films that seem to ooze a lot of cool and pizazz, regardless of substance, from directors I enjoy. My go-to example of this tends to be Steven Soderbergh and Ocean’s Eleven. What helps is how that film and others like it also have a collection of actors turning in […]
The Indianapolis 500 hasn’t had a film with it as the subject in over 40 years. The last time was the Paul Newman film Winning. And even that one was the first film about the Indy 500 in 15 years. Its one of the biggest events in the world and racing creates a whole lot […]
Turbo presents the idea of a snail racing in the Indy 500. There are reasons why this happens and the fact that the film is animated and intended for children allows for an obvious amount of suspension of disbelief, but let me reiterate that this is a film that presents the idea of a Snail […]
Gangster Squad is the R-rated, spiritual successor to Dick Tracy that nobody wanted. The film is a stylish exercise in action sequences, featuring a bunch of good actors that have decided not to do much acting, aside from Sean Penn, who attempts to devour every scene he is in and hopes to stop short of […]
I have to admit. I’m really excited about this one. I have heard so many good things about this film and unfortunately I missed out on seeing it in the theater. Thank God, I don’t have too much longer to wait as a January 22nd Blu-ray release date has just been announced today for the Jake […]
Talk about surprises! End of Watch is maybe the best cop drama I have seen since The Departed, let alone the best cop film I have seen in quite some time that does not involve corrupt or undercover officers who get in too deep. This seems like a film that could have been incredibly generic, […]
I was a little apprehensive about going in and reviewing the Blu-ray of 30 Minutes or Less, because I never cared for the trailer or marketing materials that were released for it. It looked like a try-hard comedy film. Hey, but you gotta do what you gotta do when reviewing films, right? That’s what I […]
The title of this film, as bland as it is, certainly cuts to the chase. This is a simple heist comedy that is fairly entertaining, even as it slightly underuses the talents of its ensemble cast. Brett Ratner, a director better known for his reputation as a hack director responsible for some entertaining successes (Rush […]
Over the past decade, Will Ferrell’s taken a spin on the same ride that Eddie Murphy, Mike Meyers, and Chevy Chase took before him: he came out of nowhere to become an MVP on NBC’s SNL (whoa, that was a whole bunch of acronyms), appeared in a handful of smallish roles in other people’s comedies […]
Among the biggest things at San Diego Comic Con this year, people were heavily anticipating panels for Spielberg and The Adventures of Tintin, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and of course Twilight. Another widely anticipated event would be the reveal of new footage from the upcoming Spider-Man film. During the Sony Pictures panel on […]
Much like my Blu-ray review of last year’s Burlesque (see here), I know I’m going to get bashed here. For some reason, the critics didn’t receive Battle: Los Angeles too well. Well la deed da. What the f#$k do they know? I guess they are all dead inside and truly don’t know how to have […]
Will Ferrell headlining a limited release comedic drama is not the sort of film that is going to stir a ton of interest from audiences that are happy with seeing him be loud and boisterous, but that does not mean the film should be overlooked. Ferrell is very good in a role that does not […]
The fight for Earth’s survival begins June 14th when Battle: Los Angeles debuts on DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack. And if that’s not enough, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment collaborate to include an exclusive game demo from the upcoming installment in the massively popular Playstation 3 franchise, Resistance 3. Now that’s […]
Are you ready for me yet? Please press record on the tape deck for me. Thanks! Are we on? Okay, good! My name is Brian White and I wanted to go on record by saying that Battle: Los Angeles has been my most anticipated film this year ever since I saw the panel at last […]
