The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
300 was one of those films where I truly didn’t realize how amazing it was with only one viewing under my proverbial belt. Admittedly so it took a couple for me to declare it epic, but fast forward 13 years and here we are. One of the greatest historical fantasy films is making its 4K […]
Yours truly originally covered the first season of Westworld, also known as The Maze, on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray over here. Truth be told it’s a very boring, but also thrilling watch at times. Admittedly so I fell hard asleep the first time I attempted to watch the first episode of the second season during […]
Given the fact that when this series originally aired earlier this year I pretty much had to watch each episode twice due to many slow lulls that put me to sleep like a baby probably doesn’t make me the best suited reviewer to tackle Westworld: Season One. However, that doesn’t mean that I didn’t like […]
HBO’s Westworld concluded its critically acclaimed first season this past December and is currently in production filming things for season 2. The series-created, executive produced, and written by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy is a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin, based on the 1973 Michael Crichton movie of the same […]
Academy Award© winner Natalie Portman (Black Swan, Star Wars Episodes I-III, The Professional) stars in Gavin O’Connor’s action-packed western Jane Got a Gun, available on Digital HD April 15 from Starz Digital, and on Blu-ray™, DVD and On Demand from Anchor Bay Entertainment April 26. Hailed as a “sturdy, well-crafted genre piece” by the Los Angeles Times, Jane Got a Gun also stars Joel […]
Focus is one of those films I initially saw trailers for on television earlier this year and thought to myself nah I’ll skip it. It just didn’t do anything for me. Then came all the reviews like Aaron Neuwirth’s positive coverage here (God I miss all his incredible movie reviews). And so because of all the positive praise this […]
Focus is one of those films I initially saw trailers for on television and thought to myself nah I’ll skip it. It just didn’t look that appealing to me. Than came all the reviews like Aaron Neuwirth’s positive coverage here. And so because of all the positive praise this film has garnered, sign me up! […]
Focus is solid entertainment that puts its audience back into the world of con artists, as there have been many of its kind before. It is an easy way to have people both root for the leads, while also feeling intrigued by the sort of shadowy world they live in, but generally remains exciting due […]
All I knew about the first Rio going into this was that it was the film that topped the box office the weekend Scream 4 was released. It was a huge hit, taking almost half a billion dollars worldwide. In order to properly review Rio 2, I had to watch Rio before this and wow…I’m […]
It’s been way too long between the amount of time that has passed since 2007 when Warner Bros. brought Roman soldiers with unbelievably chiseled pecs and abs into our living rooms on our early adoption HDTV sets during the Red vs. Blu Wars (HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray). Can you believe it has been that long and for […]
To say I had fun with 300: Rise of an Empire in the theater this past March is like saying gas prices used to be cheaper. Hell yeah I had fun with this action baddie! From Eva Green showing us her goods to the bloody battles we all come to love and adorn in the genre, this […]
300 is not a film many would have watched in its original release and thought it could use a sequel. Back in March of 2007, director Zack Snyder impressed audiences with his stylized cinematic vision of Frank Miller’s graphic novel, which was a fictionalized retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae. 300 was fairly straightforward, but […]
Thinking about this today, it’s been way too long hasn’t it? I’m talking about of course the amount of time that has passed since 2007 when Warner Bros. brought Roman soldiers with unbelievably chiseled pecs and abs into our living rooms on our early adoption HDTV sets during the Red vs. Blu Wars (HD-DVD vs. […]
So this past winter has seen the release of action films from a lot of the action starts, old and new. I did not expect The Last Stand to be the best of the bunch, but given that A Good Day to Die Hard was a huge bust and Stallone couldn’t quite land a Bullet […]
In 1993, Hong Kong film director John Woo made his American feature film debut with Hard Target, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. That film is not very good as a whole, but the action is solid and one can see Woo’s signature style lurking beneath what is essentially a studio-produced action film, with a bit more […]
Captured as a young bird from the wild, Blu (Jesse Eisenberg, The Social Network) is a domesticated spix macaw living thousands of miles away from his homeland, Brazil. When his human owner Linda (Leslie Mann,17 Again) discovers that he is the last male of his kind, they head south to Rio de Janeiro to meet the […]
I Love You Phillip Morris may be one of the most unconventional love stories of all time. It could also be considered one of Jim Carrey’s most daring career moves of all time as well. You know, with the whole “gay” stigma out there in the world, a role like this taken by any other […]
To be very matter-of-fact, I Love You Phillip Morris is based on a true story about a gay con artist who managed to escape prison many times and also fell in love with one of his fellow inmates, Phillip Morris. Despite its seemingly unique premise and presence of Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor in lead roles, the film has been bouncing around for a couple years, trying to find a U.S. distributor.
