Disney’s Aladdin took the longest time to arrive on Blu-ray (in the United States).

The Why So Blu top Blu-rays of 2015 wheel has spun and landed on me. Once again, I’m honored to close this out and go last. 2015 was a game-changer year for me with Blu-ray personally. For years, my colleague Gerard has been nagging at me to get a region-free player. I would complain about […]

Boulevard will end up being known as the last dramatic movie that Robin Williams (Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society) filmed before he passed away. Really, that is too bad because while not every Robin Williams film is a highly-lauded classic, it is undeniable that he was a talented actor with an impressive range and […]

I had fun with this film. There is more to read, but how much do I really need to say about the third film in a series about Ben Stiller interacting with museum exhibits that come to life at night, thanks to the power of a magic tablet? Okay, so maybe that sentence alone can […]
