The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
I’ll come out with it right now at the beginning. I did not enjoy Ti West and Mia Goth’s X or Pearl. I could see the potential and the intention and could also appreciate the filmmaking as a throwback to the 70’s that felt authentic. I could not get past what I believe to be […]
The third and final installment of Ti West’s X trilogy finally comes home when MAXXXINE arrives October 8 on 4K UHD, Blu-ray™, DVD, and Digital from Lionsgate. With the previous titles in the trilogy receiving critical and audience acclaim, star Mia Goth shares that “it’s the biggest story of the three with the highest stakes” […]
In good years and “bad” years at the movies, there are still great films gifted upon us. Old faithfuls deliver and new voices step into the light. Small films will climb high and a blockbuster or two will remind people of why something needs to be seen on the biggest screen possible. And in every […]
One of the year’s biggest surprises, and that surprise being is mere existence, Pearl will be arriving on Blu-ray on November 15th. The film, a prequel to Ti West’s first film this year, announced itself at as the credits ended to X. With continued great reviews for this series going 2 films strong now, Pearl […]
Mia Goth reprises her iconic villain in Pearl, arriving on Blu-ray™ (+ DVD + Digital) and DVD November 15 from A24 and Lionsgate. Co-written by Ti West (X, The Innkeepers, The Sacrament, The House of the Devil) and Mia Goth in her feature film writing debut, Pearl will be available on Blu-ray (+ DVD + Digital) and […]
Ever since I caught House of the Devil and it greatly impressed me and refreshed my love of horror, Ti West has had somewhat of a lifetime pass for me from that. And thus, I’ve generally enjoyed pretty much every original film he’s put out when he’s able to cut one. X was his latest, […]
Representing filmmaker Ti West’s long-awaited return to Horror, A24’s X arrives May 24 on Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital) and DVD, from Lionsgate. From critically acclaimed director Ti West (The Innkeepers, The Sacrament), the horror film stars Mia Goth (A Cure for Wellness, Suspiria, Emma.), Brittany Snow (Prom Night, Pitch Perfect, Pitch Perfect 2), Jenna […]
Sorry film freaks – only a meager five flicks for critical dissection this time out, but I also helmed a premiere this week (Go The Harvesters!) and there’s a short film review here too, so cinematically it’s a push. In any case five very different movies below including a political one-man show, a romantic comedy, […]
I enjoy putting together different year end lists, as they tend to function as a way for me to put emphasis on a lot of film that I would hope people check out at some point (or avoid, in the case of the ‘Worst of’ list). This year, given how I have ranked a large […]
I’m a big big fan of up and coming indie horror director Ti West. He reached me in an incredible way with his breakout film House Of The Devil and I’ve been following his career with great excitement ever since. His follow up, The Innkeepers was a great little follow up with a more modern […]
Ever since House Of The Devil, Ti West will always have my attention and my dollar. I’m very interested in anything he does. His latest effort, The Sacrament, I caught on VOD a few months ago as it didn’t play in any theaters here. And its a pretty unique little animal he’s constructed. Yes, groan […]
Luke and Kate are co-workers at a Chicago brewery, where they spend their days drinking and flirting. They’re perfect for each other, except that they’re both in relationships. Luke is in the midst of marriage talks with his girlfriend of six years, Kate is playing it cool with her music producer boyfriend Chris. But you […]
The award winning and critically acclaimed home invasion thriller, You’re Next, arrives on Blu-ray (plus Digital HD Ultraviolet) and DVD (plus Digital Ultraviolet) January 14 (with an early Digital HD and Video on Demand window beginning December 27) from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. AND I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER about this news!!! To say I loved this […]
I was just talking about the effectiveness of simplicity in another review and now we have a simple and efficiently made horror flick, titled You’re Next. Despite having been lingering around for a couple years, this is a horror flick that has maintained its positive buzz since debuting at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival […]
So here’s a title that I profess to know nothing about going into the press screening last Thursday night at the brand new Alamo Drafthouse Lakeline here in Austin, TX. Now come on, how can one turn that offer down? I said the BRAND NEW Alamo Drafthouse! I’m probably only the 100th person to have […]
I love the idea of anthology horror films and wish there was more of them. I love Creepshow, for example, and the most recent anthology horror flick that I really enjoyed, Trick r Treat, is another delightful entry as well. I think it has to do with seeing lots of ideas packed into one feature […]
I’d been really interested in seeing The Innkeepers when I heard about the project and it being Ti West’s follow up to the excellent The House of the Devil. Spooky New England hotels, ghosts, demons, people crapping themselves in hotels where ghosts and demons live? Hell yeah! I should also make mention that I had […]
Back when V/H/S (which, for brevity and sanity’s sake, we’re going to call VHS from here on out) premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, the word on the street was that directors Ti West, Joe Swanberg, Radio Silence, David Bruckner, Adam Wingard, and Glenn McQuaid had crafted one helluva found-footage horror anthology: reports had audience […]
