The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
Here we go again. Kicking off my Top 10 year-end lists for 2013, here are my Top 10 Blu-rays. These are films that I have been able to really dig into and see them as easy recommendations for anyone with the greatest home media format currently available. The following list is a set of films […]
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reteam with director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) in this wildly entertaining thrill ride that completes their The Ultimate Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy. Twenty years after their first epic pub crawl attempt, the “five musketeers” reunite in their home town to complete the ultimate challenge – one night, five friends, […]
Being a huge Star Wars fan all my life, who has more times than I care to admit called Star Trek boring, dull and lifeless with the exception of The Next Generation episodes Ashley Judd breathes life and beauty into, I was astonished by how much fun I had with J.J. Abrams fresh take on […]
It is always an interesting task, when it comes to providing a critique of one of you most anticipated films of the year from one of your favorite filmmakers. The World’s End is the final entry in the thematically connected “Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy”. The films that led up to this finale are 2004’s […]
The World’s End is the third part in the so-called Cornetto or Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy, which includes 2004’s Shaun of the Dead and 2007’s Hot Fuzz. The British comedy (although one could say it’s a little more than just this) is directed by Edgar Wright, who also co-writes the screenplay with actor Simon […]
The World’s End is upon us! By that I mean the new film from co-writer/director Edgar Wright, co-writer/star Simon Pegg, and star Nick Frost. The World’s End is a sci-fi comedy, which brings a trilogy to a close. This would be the “Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy” or the “Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy” that also […]
The World’s End has released two new featurettes discussing how the Cornetto Trilogy came to be and another showcasing thoughts and praise of the film’s director Edgar Wright. Also, the film has announced its 2013 San Diego Comic-Con events as well. Without further adieu, I’ll mosey on down to the Winchester and leave it to […]
I have honestly not tried to make a big deal out of this more publicly, but my interest in Star Trek as a franchise is almost non-existent. Do I respect what it has brought to the world? Sure. Do I enjoy the work of many involved in the making of this newest entry? Of course. […]
Being a huge Star Wars fan all my life who frequently has called Star Trek boring, dull and lifeless with the exception of The Next Generation episodes Ashley Judd appeared in, I was astonished by how much fun I had with J.J. Abrams fresh take on the franchise back in 2009. In my opinion, he […]
I know I am in the minority of not being as excited as many others for the new Star Trek film, Star Trek Into Darkness, but here is a post with several new posters and the latest trailer. Additionally, here is a plot synopsis: In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive […]
This holiday season sees the arrival of Ice Age: Continental Drift on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray and DVD. The film is coming out on December 11th and is packed with bonus goodies for everyone to enjoy. The latest adventure for Manny and the gang (also Scrat) proved to be quite a profitable one, looking at the […]
This might be a little awkward, but I will explain. I could not find any suitable artwork for the Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol Blu-ray cover art anywhere. I borrowed the bilingual cover art instead, so please ignore the bilingual font, because I assure you that it is NOT present on the U.S. Blu-ray. Also, […]
With their powers combined, Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have sought to bring Herge’s beloved classic journalist Tintin to the big screen in an ambitious motion capture project entitled The Adventures of Tintin. Using the latest in performance capture technology, along with Jackson acting as producer with Spielberg directing, they were to bring the character […]

I was very excited when it was first announced that Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson would be collaborating on film adaptations of the popular “Adventures of Tintin” comic book series by Hergé. Having long been a fan of the series, both in comic form and in its HBO TV series format, putting these two master […]
Anthony Hopkins said it best in Mission: Impossible 2, “This is not ‘Mission: Difficult’ Mr. Hunt, this is ‘Mission: Impossible’; difficult should be a walk in the park for you.” This latest entry in the Tom Cruise starring and produced spy/action franchise finds Cruise’s character doing one impossible thing after another and pulling it off […]
It seems like 2011 is going to be littered with aliens and otherworldly beings. Paul falls into that category and I feel I must clarify what it is, as the TV spots I have seen for it do really poor justice to what is quite a funny movie. Paul is an R-rated, road trip, buddy […]
