Even in the midst of a major film festival the Indie outing dissections just keep on coming from yours truly. (Whew!) In any case flicks all over the map this week to add a little lesser-known film joy to the movie going experience. Tales of complicated family woes, docs on decent dudes and old film […]

Another year of home video releases in the books. While digital and streaming continue to be a thing, the physical market is still the best possible way to view or take in your entertainment.

The Boss Baby wanted in on some of that Zootopia cash in 2017. The trailer was one of those that was paired with Rogue One: A Star War Story and also hooked on to Sing! Yeah, those are some really successful movies that also had an attendance of young children and families. While it was […]

He’s a boss and a baby. He’s a Boss Baby. The Boss Baby pitch meeting could not have been much simpler than that, but I guess that wouldn’t give credit to the original children’s picture book by Marla Frazee. Of course, that book is only 36 pages (and I’m sure The Bossier Baby isn’t much […]

Having recently reviewed and torn apart the lame duck slasher outing The Driller Killer, I felt like I should make amends to Director Abel Ferrara, whom I’m actually a fan of, by recommending one of his five-star masterworks as a critical counterbalance to the condemnation – welcome to Forgotten Friday Flick! This week I’m going […]

Jim Jarmusch’s Coffee and Cigarettes was a film that came out of making three short films sharing that title. The feature film doesn’t stray too far and really is a series of eleven short films or vignettes. What they all carry in common are the fact that the whole movie is just about different people […]

Boss Baby was a surprise that popped up at the end of the Trolls panel. It only lasted for about 30mins, but the opportunity to see footage of a talking baby voiced by Alec Baldwin was well worth the wait. Boss Baby is the story of a family who’s new addition to the family turns […]

Original and audacious. Contemporary and classic. Director John Turturro’s (The Big Lebowski) Romance & Cigarettes is a romantic comedy, a musical drama and, above all, a showcase for an amazing cast of talented actors lead by James Gandolfini (TV’s The Sopranos), Susan Sarandon (Bull Durham), Kate Winslet (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). Paying homage […]

The critically acclaimed HBO series Boardwalk Empire is finally available in a complete box set, and while the packaging itself isn’t very impressive, it’s definitely an example of substance over style. For those unfamiliar with the 40-time Emmy nominated Prohibition-era crime drama starring the incredible Steve Buscemi, this collection is the perfect tool to dive […]

The Cobbler is the latest film from writer/director Tom McCarthy (The Station Agent, The Visitor, Win Win). It stars Adam Sandler as a shoemaker who acquires magical powers. Yes, that makes it sound like something fairly dim and fitting of Sandler’s more outlandish crop of films, but this is not a Happy Madison production. As […]

Here’s one that I am still curious about, despite what I have heard: Image Entertainment, an RLJ Entertainment brand, brings you THE COBBLER. Directed by Tom McCarthy, the film has an all-star cast including Adam Sandler (Click, Grown Ups 2), Steve Buscemi (HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire”), Cliff “Method Man” Smith (The Sitter) and Ellen Barkin (Oceans […]

Boardwalk Empire is the series that I always felt both audiences and HBO wanted more from. Make no mistake, this Prohibition era-set crime drama, starring Steve Buscemi, was certainly a handsome production, with many fine performances, and a narrative that made some big turns throughout its 56-episode run, but I never felt like this would […]

Crossing another feature off my list of modern classics that are favorite films mine, which I have now written a review for, Fargo has returned to Blu-ray once again, with a new remastered transfer. This Oscar-winning Coen Brothers film has had its share of releases in the past and even if there is still bound […]

Not sure how much I can say about Fargo, beyond just, “It’s brilliant”, but here it goes. Fargo was one of the best films of the 90s, one of my favorite films ever, and is full of great performances, direction, and dark humor. It is a fantastic film and now it is getting an all […]
