The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
They say lightning doesn’t strike twice, but I beg to differ…at least in the world of entertainment. When we’re talking about Hollywood I can think of many second films in a franchise that are just as good as their predecessors with obvious examples being classics such as The Godfather Part II, Star Wars: The Empire […]
Southpaw is defined in the sport of boxing as the stance where the boxer has his right hand and right foot forward, leading with right jabs, and following with a left cross right hook. Southpaw is the normal stance for a left-handed boxer. Fictional boxer Rocky Balboa, for example, was a southpaw. Therefore, I think you can pretty much conjure up that Jake Gyllenhaal’s […]
Hey Rocky fans! Whoops! I messed up. Let me make this official. Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Company are pleased to announce the home entertainment release of Southpaw, a story about the ruin, but moreover redemption of a light heavyweight boxing champion who loses everything he loves in the face of tragedy. Academy Award Nominee Jake Gyllenhaal leads the […]

From Academy Award®-winner Cameron Crowe (2001, Almost Famous, Best Writing), comes ALOHA on Digital HD August 11 and on Blu-ray™ and DVD August 25 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The smart romantic comedy — starring Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook), Emma Stone (Irrational Man), and Rachel McAdams (“True Detective”) — revolves around a once-admired pilot, […]
“The author behind Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and the director of The American have joined forces to seemingly put together the most deliberately paced, convoluted spy thriller since those two films I just mentioned for A Most Wanted Man.” That is one way to sum up this espionage-drama based on John le Carre’s novel, but […]
In what would become his final starring performance, Academy Award® winner Philip Seymour Hoffman (Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role, Capote, 2005) leads an impressive all-star cast in the “tense spy thriller” (Wall Street Journal) A Most Wanted Man, coming out of the shadows and onto Blu-ray™ (plus Digital HD), DVD (plus Digital) and On Demand November 4 from Lionsgate […]
Brian De Palma returns to the sleek, sly, seductive territory of Dressed To Kill with an erotic thriller fueled by sex, ambition and the murderous side of Passion. Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace star as two female executives whose fierce competition to rise up the ranks is about to turn literally cut-throat. Bonus Features: Interviews […]
Around the globe, headlines break the news: a scandal takes down an Indian cotton tycoon; a Chinese opium trader dies of an apparent overdose; bombings in Strasbourg and Vienna; the death of an American steel magnate… no one sees the connective thread between these seemingly random events-no one, that is, except the great Sherlock Holmes, […]
Inspired by a true events The Vow has the perfect release date just in time for Valentine’s Day. So all you romantics at heart will enjoy this sappy, tug on your heart strings, with a pinch of humor, love story that you may even shed a tear or two for. And if that is not […]
There is a great, classic scene in Woody Allen’s Annie Hall, which has Allen’s character literally pull philosopher/literary critic Marshall McLuhan onto the frame, in order to have him directly tell another character why he is misinformed in his opinions, giving Allen the ultimate form of satisfaction. In Allen’s latest film, Midnight in Paris, the […]
Something has been gnawing at me about this cutesy, romantic comedy, based around a morning news program. It has nothing to do with its leads, who are all charming in their own ways, whether it be Rachel McAdams bubbly, yet spunky personality, or Harrison Ford’s ability to play bull-headed and grumpy (yes, he’s “acting”) for […]
It still holds true, after my Blu-ray viewing last night, that I generally like movies more the second time around. So why would last night’s viewing of Sherlock Holmes on Blu-ray be any different? I’m not going to lie and say that I fell head over heels in love with the film concurrently with my […]
Originally a novel penned by Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler’s Wife made its big screen debut last autumn. The film had many waiting with baited breath in hopes that their affinity for the publication would be equally appeased on film. After all, Niffenegger’s work was a best seller and the film had two big names […]
I just wanted to drop all our readers a line and remind you all about Warner’s release of The Time Traveler’s Wife on Blu-ray next week, February 9th. Our very own Gregg Senko will be delivering an in-depth review and coverage of the Blu-ray title later on in the week. Stay tuned for that! In the meantime, make sure you […]
Even if I used terms such as clever, bright, ingenious, adept, cunning, discerning, quick-witted, resourceful, shrewd, versatile and keen, I could never come close to describing the attributes of the fictional character Sherlock Holmes. And to think, I once thought the television character MacGyver was the most brilliant and quick thinking man I ever known.
Disappointment is a feeling no one enjoys, especially when it comes to a movie with a good deal of positive buzz surrounding it. So, when it comes to Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes, a film boasting a great cast and director, it is even more of a let down. Not to be mistaken, Holmes is an […]

Well, to kick off the work week we got some new “Blu” news to deliver so let’s take a moment to recap the Blu-ray announcements that were made public today. It seems like the rumors last week were true. 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment will […]
