The Muppets was a ceremonious return of our Jim Henson puppeteered crew of Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzy Bear, Gonzo and all our Muppet pals. It was also a pretty sweeping success, so of course with there was going to be a sequel. However, Jason Segel made it clear he was one-and-done so he […]
Some may have not seen this coming, but I really enjoyed Here Comes the Boom, starring Kevin James, who takes on the role of a teacher trying to save the school’s music program by becoming an MMA fighter. I will say this, I may not be a big fan of what has come out of […]
Coming this February to Blu-ray – Here Comes the Boom, starring Kevin James (Paul Blart: Mall Cop), who takes on the role of a teacher trying to save the school’s music program by becoming an MMA fighter. I will say this, I may not be a big fan of what has come out of Happy Madison […]

Laguna Beach entrepreneurs Ben (Aaron Johnson) and Chon (Taylor Kitsch) raise and sell some of the best marijuana ever developed, while sharing a one-of-a-kind love with the extraordinary beauty […]

Together, with a dirty DEA agent, their fight for their love and their lives. Directed by Oliver Stone, this thriller stars Aaron Johnson, Taylor Kitsch, Blake Lively, Salma […]
In theory, I should have been fairly excited about a gritty, R-rated thriller from director Oliver Stone. After Stone’s last set of films, which includes Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, W., and World Trade Center, Savages seems like the kind of film that would bring him back to the edgy kind of filmmaking once utilized […]
Sex, drugs, and disco is what 54 is all about. 54 was an odd experience for me, particularly due to how the subject material was handled. The film constantly switches it’s tone from incredibly serious to incredibly silly. The film does in fact feature an all-star cast including Mike Myers (Austin Powers), Neve Campbell (Scream), […]
Puss in Boots continues the legacy of Shrek, the #1 animated franchise of all time, with the uproarious and irresistible origin story of the notorious fighter, lover and outlaw Puss in Boots. Filled with hilarious action and adventure, the missing tale – of how Puss became a hero long before he met Shrek – delighted audiences […]
2002’s Frida would be Salma Hayek’s passion project finally come to fruition after so many years of rejections. She obviously had to pay her dues and build herself up as an actress and producer to get this done. Just because you’re hot in this town doesn’t mean you can always get what you want. It […]
Puss in Boots continues the legacy of Shrek, the #1 animated franchise of all time, with the uproarious and irresitable origin story of the notorious fighter, lover and outlaw Puss in Boots. Filled with hilarious action and adventure, the true tail—er, tale—of how Puss became a hero long before he met Shrek delighted audiences of […]
The phrase “less is more” comes up a lot when dealing with particular characters that people tend to love. In Shrek 2, the character of Puss in Boots was first introduced and became an immediate favorite to many. Given that character’s popularity and the fact that DreamWorks Animation has decided to milk Shrek for all […]
I am a big fan of filmmaker Robert Rodriguez; however, I never quite made the plunge to go and see his “kids” films. While Rodriguez has made some pretty hard R-rated features in his time (Desperado, From Dusk til Dawn, Sin City), he has also let his wild imagination carve himself out a niche in […]
So if I’m such a big Robert Rodriguez fan, then why have I never seen any of these Spy Kids films? I’m not sure of the answer to that one, but that’s all about to change this summer when his high octane kid-friendly franchise makes its way to the Blu-ray format. Yep. That’s right ladies […]
The Robert Rodriguez library on Blu-ray continues to expand. Columbia Pictures proudly present: the first two films in the Robert Rodriguez “Mexican” trilogy. It’s only fitting that a real Mexican was tasked with (okay I volunteered) to review the Rodriguez Mariachi series on Blu-ray. Once again, this will be a cumulative review, but I will […]
In our previous adventures with our famed guitarista we had several revenge and closure story arcs to abide by. With Once Upon A Time In Mexico we have come full circle. Robert Rodriguez pulled a Sergio Leone. This was to be Rodriguez’s The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Was Robert Rodriguez successful? I suggest […]
Some boys will be boys longer than others. The $208 million worldwide box-office smash, Grown Ups, starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider will arrive on Blu-ray Combo Pack and Single Disc Blu-ray on November 9th. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will be packing the Blu-ray release full of multiple blooper […]
What are up with these mega all-star cast films nowadays? Seems like we just can’t get enough of them no matter how bad they are. Hollywood studios slap a label on a one-sheet poster with five or more big box-office stars and all they have to do is sit back on their laurels and count […]
