This is always a tough list to put together. I see over a hundred movies a year and a lot of those films are ones I’ve been anticipating to some degree, while many others are smaller films that randomly arrive on the calendar months after the start of the year. I am aware there are […]
I have gone and done it again with this Blu-ray list. Much like last year, I have decided to tackle every aspect of what I enjoyed about this year in Blu-ray. This best-of list consists of what I consider to be the best 2015 had to offer for the Blu-ray format, with a few rules […]
When the e-mail for Innerspace came across my e-mail, I got pretty excited. This is a film I hadn’t revisited since the 80s (Maybe early 90s). Its one I remember liking quite a bit. I believe ABC used to run this as their Sunday Night Movie for a couple years straight. I remember really enjoying […]

“Clever girl.” Well this is more exciting than I was expecting. Jurassic World is coming and while I may not have many nice things to say about the previous Jurassic Park sequels (I like 3 more than The Lost World though), I still have a continue interest in dinosaurs and the world that these films exist in. Now we […]
Happy new release Tuesday! It’s also the first Tuesday in November. Meaning, all the dates for Blu-ray releases through the end of the year are pretty much set and locked in by now. There could be a wild card for late December thrown in somewhere, but it’s highly unlikely it would be an older catalogue […]
Like we really need a reason to talk about all these, huh? Well they may be double dipping, but who cares?! You now get iTunes Digital Copies with these legendary films too! Isn’t that worth the price of admission? I think so! Despite how you feel, they’re all coming again! And regretfully, that also includes […]
Inspired by the true-life events confronting Abraham Lincoln and his monumental moral and political challenge to amend the United States Constitution to permanently abolish slavery, Lincoln is a rich and compelling historical and human drama that has been hailed as one of the best film of the year. In-depth bonus features on the Blu-ray/DVD Combo […]
One of the most meaningful films of our generation, Schindler’s List tells an extraordinary true story of courage and faith that continues to inspire. The film’s restoration from the 35mm film original negative was supervised by Steven Spielberg and includes bonus features that shed unprecedented light on the story of Oskar Schindler, a member of the Nazi […]
I was sitting with a pretty, young lady some 21 years ago, waiting to watch Indecent Proposal, when a preview came on for Jurassic Park. I can still see the raptor’s eye peering into the kitchen window just before it fogged from the dinosaurs breath. My date grabbed my arm tight and said, “we are definitely coming […]

Lincoln is a film that has been a long time coming. I remember hearing about early stories of director Steven Spielberg working on getting a movie made about Abraham Lincoln, with Tom Hanks being rumored for the role. Then things became more official, as Liam Neeson was said to be attached. The time passed, Neeson […]
