NBFF Reviews: The Iceman and Ghost Team One
May 3rd, 2013 by Aaron Neuwirth
I have already reviewed the Closing Night film of the 2013 Newport Beach Film Festival (the very entertaining The Way Way Back), but this is my final article in regards to the films I saw on Thursday night, closing out my time covering the festival. It has been an exciting and exhausting experience, but I […]
‘Premium Rush’ Rides To Blu-ray This December
October 17th, 2012 by Aaron Neuwirth
Premium Rush was a somewhat surprising film to come out of the summer. Sure, it looked like it could be silly fun, but the movie was actually a lot more fun and exciting than it’s late August release date lead me to believe (Review). So with that said, on December 21st, people will get the […]

Boardwalk Empire: The Complete Second Season (Blu-ray Review)
September 7th, 2012 by Jami Ferguson
Boardwalk Empire was the winner of eight 2011 Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series (Martin Scorsese), and the 2011 Golden Globe for Best Drama Series and Best Actor (Steve Buscemi). In season two, Nucky and his lieutenants appear to have solidified their hold on power by rigging an election and getting a crony […]
Gear Up For ‘Premium Rush’ (And Wear A Helmet)
August 25th, 2012 by Aaron Neuwirth
Action movies dropping into theaters at the end of summer do not generally inspire a lot of confidence, especially when they are flicks that were moved from the already dead time of year that is January and into the even worse doldrum-like area that is the weeks that hover around Labor Day weekend. Still, it […]
Boardwalk Empire: The Complete First Season (Blu-ray Review)
January 22nd, 2012 by Jami Ferguson
From Terence Winter, Emmy Award-winning writer of The Sopranos, and executive producer Martin Scorsese, comes the lavish and addictive HBO drama Boardwalk Empire that re-creates the glitter and decadence of 1920’s Atlantic City at a time when Prohibition proved to be a major catalyst in the rise of organized crime in America. Full of corruption, […]
Aaron’s Top 10 Films of 2011 & Other Yearly Wrap-Up Stuff
December 27th, 2011 by Aaron Neuwirth
To me, 2011 was a pretty unusual year. I say that because I found there to be an unusual amount of great films that came out in both the realm of mainstream feature films and the realm of art house and independent features. This year, like any year, had its share of duds as well, […]
‘Take Shelter’, A Storm’s A Brewin’
October 26th, 2011 by Aaron Neuwirth
I am giving out a lot of admiration to quiet thrillers lately. Between Martha Marcy May Marlene and this foreboding drama, one certainly needs to take a breath, sit back, and watch a simple comedy to keep from becoming too distraught in their own lives. Take Shelter is a very well acted story about a […]
Lock And Load With ‘Machine Gun Preacher’
September 23rd, 2011 by Aaron Neuwirth
When I first heard the title and saw a poster for Machine Gun Preacher, I certainly got the wrong impression. In the wake of films like Machete and Hobo with a Shotgun, I was definitely caught off guard by the very “grindhouse” nature of the film’s title. Machine Gun Preacher is actually a fairly intense […]
The Runaways (Blu-ray Review)
July 17th, 2010 by Brian White
I just so happened to miss this one during its brief stint in the theaters this year so I was overjoyed to find out that Sony would be providing me with a Blu-ray review copy of The Runaways. However, I will let you in on a little secret. Do you want to know the real […]
