The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
Last year I undertook the pioneer task of only listing my Top 10 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays here. It was a brand spanking new format then and I was among the first. Since then Sir Brandon Peters has caught up to me on the format and we currently split the bulk of the 4K UHD […]
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 […]
Before visiting The Great Gatsby theatrically, I strongly held the opinion that this was either going to be one of those films you’d love or you’d hate with absolutely no middle ground in the equation. I know I found myself seriously conflicted in how I felt about it for months before I saw it. The first trailer did […]
It seemed pretty telling of the quality to me that a film by acclaimed director Jason Reitman would be practically swept under the rug, given its low profile release at the end of January, but I had a desire to see it anyway. I have been a fan of Reitman’s previous films (including Juno, Up […]
The calendar year of 2013 was a tough one for me in the film department. However, unlike my recent Top 10 Blu-ray list over here, where I struggled to even find ten Blu-rays that I really really liked in 2013 (only leaving off Cloud Atlas), I find myself faced with a smorgasbord of films that […]
Before visiting The Great Gatsby theatrically this spring, I strongly held the opinion that this was either going to be one of those films you’d love or you’d hate with uncompromising passion, no middle ground in the equation. I know I found myself seriously conflicted in how I felt about it for months before I saw […]
The “American Dream” comes to life when The Great Gatsby arrives onto the HD scene with Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack and Digital Download on August 27th from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment with over 90 minutes of special features. I know I’m in the minority here, but its still in my Top 5 […]
I’ve never really wrote a piece like this before on the site so early in the year as its usually something I step aside and graciously hand the reigns over to our “Godfather” of theatrical movie reviews, Mr. Aaron Neuwirth, to cover. However, most recently I’ve become very concerned after I compiled and examined the […]
A Baz Luhrmann-directed adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s acclaimed novel “The Great Gatsby” is either the summer blockbuster for everyone else or the obscure one that joins the fold of all the others. Everyone that has gotten their fill of superheroes, disaster films, alien invasions, and other high concept ideas, now has the option of […]
Before entering Tuesday evening’s press screening of The Great Gatsby, I strongly held the opinion that this was either going to be one of those films you’d love or you’d hate with uncompromising passion, no middle ground in the equation. I know I found myself seriously conflicted in how I felt about it these past […]

A powerful and emotional film based on John Irving’s best-selling American classic, The Cider House Rules tells the story of Homer Wells (Maguire), an orphan who is eager to leave the confines of St. Cloud’s Orphanage to explore the world. A favorite of the orphanage director, Homer has been groomed to be successor to Dr. Larch […]
While I realize that many people didn’t like Spiderman 3, this is still a great deal for all three Spiderman Blu-rays. Personally, I loved the first two and liked the third and I think most people can agree that Spiderman 2 was one of the best (if not the best) superhero movies ever made. All […]
Perhaps in one of the biggest stories of yesterday we learn that plans for a Spider-Man 4 installment featuring the dream team duo of Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire have been scrapped. Rumors speculate either a rushed production schedule or a disagreement over the film’s next villian as the primary cause for the duo’s separation […]
With an all-star cast of Tobey Maguire, Natalie Portman and Jake Gyllenhaal, how can you go wrong? Well, let’s stop right there because Everybody’s Fine sported the likes of Robert De Niro, Kate Beckinsale and Drew Barrymore and that movie was a sloth-like downer. Fortunately, the same does not hold true for Brothers which made […]
