One of the supposed theatrical events of the year became about as tricky to market, release, and watch as it was to make. Christopher Nolan’s Tenet went from being one of the year’s most anticipated films to a supposed savior of the movie theater experience to something of a muted punchline. Little of this actually […]
While not released under ideal circumstances, writer/director Christopher Nolan’s time inversion blockbuster, Tenet, made its way to theaters all over the world and once again delivered a challenging spectacle matching a great cast (John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, and Kenneth Branagh) with huge spectacle filmed largely with IMAX cameras. Now audiences will be […]
Now nominated for an Academy Award in the category that kind of feels like a grand victory for this little film, The Lighthouse has arrived on Blu-ray. It released on January 7th (My review copy came afterward) and hopefully will be one seen by those who didn’t have the luxury of it playing in a […]
“An instant classic” (Rachel Handler, New York Magazine) comes ashore when The Lighthouse arrives on Digital December 20, On Demand January 7, and on Blu-ray™ (plus Digital) and DVD January 7 from Lionsgate. From Robert Eggers, the visionary director of The Witch, The Lighthouse stars Academy Award® and Golden Globe® nominee Willem Dafoe (1986, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Platoon; 2000, Best Actor […]
Based on the beloved book series by Stephenie Meyer, and one of the most successful feature film franchises of all time with over $3.3 billion in box office, celebrate the tenth anniversary of Twilight’s theatrical debut with the release of Twilight on 4K Ultra HD™ Combo Pack (plus Blu-ray and Digital) and all five of The Twilight Saga films on […]
For those who truly believe the performer in film is key, this is the year-end list for you. Giving credit where it’s amply earned, I scoured many a good and bad flick to single out and construct a diverse and challenging list of outstanding actors whose work blew me away in 2017 – and it […]
You’ll remember back in March that Warner Brothers began the format jump on its acclaimed and super popular Harry Potter series. That batch of films, you’ll remember, started with the back four films, to coincide with the 4K Ultra-HD release of the first film in the prequel series in in the Wizarding World of Harry […]
No crime goes unpunished when the hypnotic action-thriller Good Time heads to Blu-ray (plus Digital HD) and DVD November 21 from Lionsgate. Racing against the clock to get his brother out of jail, Connie Nikas finds himself trying to make some quick hustles while evading arrest on the colorful streets of New York. Directed by […]
Looking back through 2017’s Summer movie season, it is hard not to see it as a success. There’s plenty of talk of how box office totals were down, but absent a major August release that took over the charts (think Guardians of the Galaxy or Suicide Squad) and a couple of whiffs from franchises people […]
Plenty of appreciation goes to a film that has me so wrapped up in its urgency that it feels like a jolt when it comes to an end. Good Time presents such an experience. The Palme d’Or nominee presents itself as a modern After Hours, with atmospheric and visceral qualities that call to mind films […]
Based on the look of this film, it would be no surprise to learn how difficult it was to make The Lost City of Z. I’m not speaking of just the shots of a wooden raft traveling down the Amazon River. No, it’s the look on the faces of these actors, which displays more than what […]
Coming to Blu-ray and DVD July 11, Charlie Hunnam (“Sons of Anarchy”), Robert Pattinson (Twilight franchise), Sienna Miller (Factory Girl), and Tom Holland (Spider-Man: Homecoming) star in Amazon Studio’s THE LOST CITY OF Z, the incredible true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett. Certified “Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes, the film centers on Fawcett (Hunnam), who […]

Indie flicks all but dominate the amount of studio fare this week (and mostly every other week too!), so film fans have continual opportunity to get their film fix on. Below is just a fraction of the myriad of releases out now that cover the gamut of subjects and genres for the ardent cinefile to […]
Leave it to director David Cronenberg (The Fly, A History of Violence) to spend decades making studio films outside of Hollywood, only to finally shoot a film in Hollywood that looks to take it down. Of course, it would help if this acerbic, satirical take on Hollywood culture was a little more attuned to the […]
We’re all older. We’re all wiser. It’s been a couple years removed from the Twilight craze. We can all now agree that Jacob was the wiser choice. Let’s be honest – Bella made a mistake marrying Edward. One can only arrive at that conclusion after submitting themselves to a re-watch of the first three films. […]
If you have ever watched The Road Warrior and felt that film could use a lot more existential angst, well you are in luck, as writer/director David Michod has followed up his critically acclaimed crime drama Animal Kingdom with this slightly futuristic Australian western. Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson star in this cerebral thriller that […]
Best described as existential Mad Max, The Rover is coming to Blu-ray soon and certainly left an impression after I had initially seen it. Maybe I’ll have more to say when I check it out again. Here’s this: Fueled by engaging performances from Golden Globe® nominee Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential) and what Variety calls “a career-redefining performance from Robert Pattinson” […]
