The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
After months of speculation and curiosity, countered by delays and implied bad buzz, things have unfortunately not tipped in favor of Jupiter Ascending, the new, original sci-fi/fantasy film from the Wachowskis. I really wanted to like this movie and all of the right elements are certainly there, given the fairly game cast, the production design, […]
If I was completely ignorant and judged Jupiter Ascending by its cover, I’d be staying the hell away from it even though I love science fiction. The trailers for the movie looked absolutely horrible. When they pulled it from its former release schedule last year I have to be honest with y’all, I was hoping […]
Warner Brothers is celebrating its landmark 90th anniversary with a year-long initiative to release seven new major home entertainment collections. The campaign’s flagship release, The Best of Warner Bros. 100 Film DVD Collection, showcases 100 movies from the studio’s historic, hallowed archives — the largest film library in the world. The limited and numbered box […]
I love that slogan I created…LOL…now with dragon eggs. I crack myself up. But seriously…In the searing heat of summer…winter is coming. Only from HBO comes the ultimate home entertainment holiday gift — Game of Thrones: The Complete First Season Collector’s Edition on Blu-ray with HBO Select (Blu-ray, DVD & Digital Copy in one set). […]
Directed by visionary filmmaker Tarsem Singh (Immortals), MIRROR MIRROR is a visually-spectacular, fresh and funny retelling of the classic Snow White legend. This family comedy features a star-studded cast including Academy Award®-winner Julia Roberts as the evil Queen, breakout star Lily Collins (The Blind Side) as Snow White, Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as the […]
Game of Thrones is the blockbuster new series from HBO that won two 2011 Emmy awards including Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Peter Dinklage). The drama follows kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars and noblemen as they vie for power in a land where summers span decades and winters can last a lifetime. […]
Game of Thrones, one of the most elaborate and visually striking series on television, makes its highly-anticipated Blu-ray, DVD and digital download debut on March 6, 2012. Based on George R.R. Martin’s best-selling series A Song of Ice and Fire, the sweeping fantasy saga instantly became one of HBO’s biggest hits and won two 2011 Emmy […]
The Island was a bit of a surprise, because I wasn’t really expecting it when it arrived. I’m not complaining, mind you. The Island is a futuristic science fiction film directed by Michael Bay. Yes, that Michael Bay. The guy that directed Bad Boys, Transformers, The Rock, etc. I missed it in theaters upon release. […]
Black Death is the latest film acquired by Magnolia Home Entertainment and its Magnet (genre pictures) releasing company. I’m starting to be a really big fan of these offerings. They’re usually shot overseas independently and then the domestic rights are bought up. Cool! Black Death had already been released in Europe on Blu-ray many months ago and […]
It’s like that Lady Gaga song, “Born This Way.” Here’s two of my favorite interests…the color black and the subject of death…combined into one movie title. So yeah, baby I was born this way. Okay, that may be a stretch, but bear with me. I actually just saw this feature late last weekend at the […]
Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson star in The Island, Michael Bay’s take on a dystopian future. The inhabitants of the island think that they live on it due to the rest of the planet being uninhabitable. It’s much more than that. The Island marked Michael Bay’s first project that was not produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. […]
The sequel to the last remake of Death Race will arrive this January! If you enjoy hardcore vehicular mayhem you will enjoy this series. While none of the stars of the last movie will appear in this one, it does boast some notable names such as Sean Bean, Danny Trejo, Ving Rhams, and Luke Goss. […]
The greatest and most ambitious series of fantasy movies has finally come to Blu-ray! The Lord of the Rings trilogy represents one of the biggest gambles in modern film history as all three films were filmed at once with a director who was better known for small horror movies, not to mention the fact that […]
I never really know how I feel about these straight-to-DVD or Blu-ray titles. However, I feel a bit optimistic about Death Race 2 considering it is being produced by Paul W.S. Anderson and has some pretty impressive names attached to it. I guess it could go either way. I am kind of disappointed it is a prequel […]
The latest in the string of children’s fantasy books adapted into big screen adventures is Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief starring Logan Lerman, Pierce Brosnan, Uma Thurman and Rosario Dawson among others. The film is directed by Chris Columbus of the Home Alone franchise. Some are calling it a Harry Potter knockoff, but here’s […]
