One of the most anticipated sets for most home video collectors when a format changes is that of the Christopher Reeve-led Superman films that ran for a decade. Surprisingly still the pinnacle Superman on film to this day, the whole series will be arriving on 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray on May 9th. The original film had […]
The iconic director Richard Donner has passed on, and for any fan of movies, his distinctive body of work is a stellar reminder of what the best of Hollywood can create. From franchises to important dramatic works, Richard Donner was an old school filmmaker with a serious knack for not only putting together casts that […]
Scream Factory is releasing the mother of all horror films, a timeless classic that made an everlasting impression upon release that shocked audiences around the globe; The Exorcist…II…The Heretic. Yes, that notorious film known as one of the worst sequels (And films) of all time that had audiences literally chasing producers out of a theater […]
Hopscotch was a great film to catch up with. It’s a spy movie where action and thrills are hardly the point. While The Criterion Collection has a huge selection of films spanning decades of cinema and coming from all over the world, some may characterize the selections as stuffy dramas. That’s hardly the case and […]
It feels like Vestron Video had been dormant for a little bit, with no releases in the oeuvre since that sweet little Wishmaster Collection set many months ago. But, if you think about it, there were four Wishmaster movies and if you did one per month, we’d be just fine (Look at the blowhard defense […]
Say your prayers before the Vestron Video Collector’s Series releases the demonic horror classic The Unholy, arriving for the first time on limited-edition Blu-ray on June 27 from Lionsgate. Following the mysterious murders of his predecessors, a newly appointed pastor must battle a powerful demon to save his parish and the world. The Unholy is packed with […]
Baggage Claim has come from a long line of romantic comedies featuring impossibly beautiful women with problems finding love. It is annoying to have to say something like, “take my words with a grain of salt, as this is not my preferred genre,” but it is true. Baggage Claim is definitely a film that is […]
Here’s a weird thing to celebrate and commemorate. While I understand we SHOULD award and appreciate the journalism and work done to uncover the Watergate scandal, its still a very dark spot in American history. Its something I do think is good to look back on and learn from but an All The President’s Men […]

40 years later, one of the most talked about films in history, with regards to the outdoors and male bonding, makes its way to the Blu-ray format in a deluxe Blu-ray book for all of you Blu-ray book collectors out there. It’s a mighty fine one at that. In addition to the book package; special […]
¡Alambrista! is our next Criterion Collection Blu-ray review, which tackles that pesky subject of immigration and those coming over to make a better life for themselves and their family. If memory serves me correctly, ¡Alambrista! was the first film released theatrically to cover the subject. That would have been in 1977. Whether it remains relevant […]
If you’re going to make a movie about cops, you’ve got a few templates to choose from: you can do the “Rookie Story”, where you follow an up-and-comer through the ranks as he achieves his goal of becoming a decorated police officer; you can go the “Grizzled Detective” route, and put an embittered, brilliant detective […]
Andy is preparing to depart for college, leaving his loyal toys troubled about their uncertain future. When a mix-up lands them at Sunnyside Daycare, the untamed tots with their sticky little fingers do not play nice, so it’s all for one and one for all as plans for the great escape get underway. More than […]
I was very curious about Rango when it hit theaters, but for whatever reason, I was not able to catch it on the big screen. People kept telling me that since I’m a big western film buff that I would love it, because it in fact IS a western. So far, so good! The theatrical […]
Not often can I recommend a movie for the entire family to see together. Many movies are niched to a specific audience and age demographic, and many times parents struggle to find something everyone can enjoy. RANGO fits this bill nicely. Gore Verbinski has assembled a winning team of voices for the animated […]
I’m gonna start off big with this one partner – Rango is the best film I have seen so far this year. I absolutely loved watching this movie. It is incredibly well crafted, scored, gorgeously animated, funny, and handled wonderfully in its action. It is also quite weird, in a good way. For a major […]
Easily the most anticipated movie in our household (especially by my son) this deluxe Blu-ray set has finally arrived to our delight and now I can share with you how incredible it is. The movie isn’t officially released until November 2 so get your pre-orders in! Not only is Toy Story 3 getting the Blu-ray […]
There were two main reasons why I wanted to see, own and ultimately review The Killer Inside Me on Blu-ray. Anyone that knows me can probably guess the first reason with little to no effort on his or her part, Jessica Alba. Yep, that’s right ladies and gentlemen, the lovely Jessica Alba graces us with […]
