The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
If you’re going to make a movie about cops, you’ve got a few templates to choose from: you can do the “Rookie Story”, where you follow an up-and-comer through the ranks as he achieves his goal of becoming a decorated police officer; you can go the “Grizzled Detective” route, and put an embittered, brilliant detective […]
I was happy to be able to revisit Cedar Rapids. I thought it was a very charming comedy that was unfortunately only able to be seen in limited release, during its theatrical run. Fortunately, the Blu-ray for this film is now available and many can now buy or rent this sweet-natured, raunchy comedy. It helps […]
I missed this one in the theater, but the same mistake won’t happen when it arrives on Blu-ray this June. Two of our reviewers really liked this one (see here and here) so I’m not going to let this one slip off my radar. Anyway, of course I am talking about the salesman comedy of […]
Continuing the recent streak of films I covered panels for at last year’s Comic-Con comes a science fiction comedy like none other from the brains behind Hot Fuzz. Of course I’m talking about the aptly named film Paul. And E.T. thought he was special for having a feature named after himself. LOL. What I […]
I must be a glutton for punishment. Usually fellow staff reviewer Sean Ferguson reviews all the Disney related Blu-ray titles around here, but when I found out about this romantic comedy starring my favorite screen queen as of late, Odette Yustman (the heavenly goddess from The Unborn), I begged Sean for the chance to review […]
As little time as I have to actually sit at home and watch all the Blu-rays I own and check out all the special features they have to offer, there are a certain number of films that I could not pass up when it came to checking them out at my own leisure, in the comfort of my own home. The following list is set of films that I consider to be some of the best that the Blu-ray format has had to offer for this year.
I have no idea what this movie is about. I have no care in the world whether it is good or not. All I know is that I want to see it. Why? Because it has been way too long since I have seen a movie with the beautiful Odette Yustman in it (she goes […]
James Cameron’s Avatar has arrived in a very impressive 3-disc Extended Collector’s Edition on Blu-ray. Some folks will scoff about this being the fourth or fifth (sarcastic) dip since it was first released as a bare bone disc earlier in the year. Scoff all you want, but James Cameron and Fox did say that this […]
I’m pretty sure that all three of my staff Blu-ray reviewers, excluding myself, would put some of the Alien movies in their all-time favorite lists if I asked them. And so when the Alien Anthology Blu-ray box set arrived at my doorstep upon returning from sunny California, almost two weeks ago, it arrived at what […]
Frankenstein? Dracula? King Kong? I think not. If you really want to see one of the most feared movie monsters of all time, look no further than the Alien film franchise. It was back in 1979 when director Ridley Scott launched such a scare on unsuspecting movie-goers, that the eyeless, razor-grinning, slime-drooling, tail-whipping, parasitic-youth baddies […]
I first became aware of the upcoming Simon Pegg comedy adventure, Paul, through my involvement over at leiasmetalbikini.com. The webmaster over there filled me in on the filming late last year, as it pertains to all things Comic-Con and of course, girls dressed in scantily clad Princess Leia metal bikinis. The film has a ridiculous […]
I know we just posted the press release not so long ago for James Cameron’s monster hit Avatar, but when this press release hit my inbox I instantly had a thought. What a better way to persuade our eco-friendly writer Gregg Senko into buying this Blu-ray release. So Gregg…if you are reading this, check out the […]
Summertime arrives early this year for me with last year’s blockbuster film coming to Blu-ray this April. Actually, isn’t it the biggest grossing film of all time? Well anyway, the record breaking film needs no introduction. James Cameron’s Avatar arrives on the Blu-ray/DVD retail shelves of planet Earth everywhere on April 22nd. If that day doesn’t […]
After the death of his twin brother, Paraplegic marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) voyages to the alien world of Pandora to complete the mission his late sibling had signed up for. The mission involves transferring Jake’s consciousness into an artificially grown body called an avatar via some futuristic gizmo. These avatars have been created to […]
Finally the release date for Avatar arrived. The street lamp-hung signs at July’s Comic-Con now fulfilled their advertising destiny. The autumn-released teaser trailers and strategically placed glimpses were no longer needed as the real deal had landed. Rumors had swirled for months as to how much the film cost. Some said it was the first […]
For nearly three hours tonight I sat in the movie theater and completely forgot about all of my troubles, all of my worries and nothing else even mattered to me in the world except the universe James Cameron masterfully created in Avatar. I even forgot I was part of the human race as I sat […]
