Rom-coms that stray from time-tested formulas risk alienating audiences. Last Christmas, a movie about a would-be London singer who works at a year-round Christmas-themed shop while trying to navigate a very hectic life is one of those films. Despite a strong cast and a director with a solid track record, the film failed to connect […]
Schmaltzy Christmas flicks are typically the sole property of the Hallmark channel. Still, Universal made a list, checked it twice, and included charming leads Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding, the music of George Michael/Wham!, and a Love, Actually London setting for Last Christmas. Still, perhaps the script could have been checked a few more times? […]
Every year this Top 10 movie list gets harder and harder to write. As the years go by I get the chance to see fewer and fewer movies theatrically. Because of work, life and other commitments I feel like I’m constantly trying to play catch up and/or seeing most films some 3-4 months after they […]
Its not like we’re winding down any time soon on films that still need to make it to the Blu-ray format. There are ah-plenty. Heck, there are films that still never made it to VHS or DVD. 2016 introduced us to 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays. The new wave, the new cream of the crop. And […]
Back in the days I used to fashion myself as a pretty big Ghostbusters fan. I lost count how many times I seen the original back in the 80’s, but I can honestly attest to only seeing the second film once. We all know how bad that film is so I won’t even go there. Needless to […]
The prospect of putting together a new Ghostbusters is a daunting one, yet an interesting challenge. While the 1984 fantasy-comedy is regarded by many (including myself) as a classic, the concept of a group of scientists in the business of catching ghosts opens up a world of possibilities. Despite the many people (including the original […]
Kudos to the team at Blue Sky Studios, because The Peanuts Movie has arrived and it is terrific. The animation of Charles M. Schulz’s classic characters may have been modernized, but the style and the tone of his creations has been preserved in the best of ways. Audiences should have known they were in good hands […]
I used to be normal…happy…well-adjusted…but that was before… On December 15, 2015, Scream Factory proudly presents Zombie High in a Blu-ray + DVD combo pack, for the first time on either format. A brand new high-definition transfer highlights the incredible story of a hard-working student and the warped way of life that made her go […]

2013’s highest grossing live action comedy hits Blu-ray in a release loaded with extra humor. Paul Feig follows up his smashing success Bridesmaids with another female driven comedy, this time taking on the buddy cop genre. Up until the recent opening weekend of Gravity, The Heat was Sandra Bullock’s highest grossing weekend of all time. […]
This is the story of a by-the-book FBI agent teaming up with a sloppy, but dedicated Boston Police detective to take down some bad guys. They are mismatched and hate each other at first, but will have to learn to get along if they want to prove themselves to the other officers and agents. The […]
Make no mistake, I’m solely doing this review for my girlfriend. Am I not a nice guy or what? After seeing Melissa McCarthy in this year’s Identity Thief I absolutely wanted nothing to do with her ever again. I grew so tired and disgusted hearing her cuss and drop endless F-bombs for absolutely no reason […]
