The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
The Revenant is billed as a Western thriller. Normally I’m not one at all for a Western (unless it’s a Tarantino), but you throw the word “thriller” in there and I’m all over it. Add to the fact that the critics and media are saying this is finally going to be the one for Leonardo […]
2015 has come to an end and now I get to post my favorite films of the year. This is never an easy list to put together and having seen 150+ films theatrically this past year, it was a challenge, but it is always fun to do and I’ve come up with a ranked list […]
It’s that time of the year again. I generally hate this time of the year not because of the holidays, but because it means nothing but cold and deadness outside and in a reviewer’s world, the dreaded TOP 10 Favorite Films lists as well. Last year there was an influx of good movies released theatrically (IMO) making […]
The Why So Blu top Blu-rays of 2015 wheel has spun and landed on me. Once again, I’m honored to close this out and go last. 2015 was a game-changer year for me with Blu-ray personally. For years, my colleague Gerard has been nagging at me to get a region-free player. I would complain about […]
I strolled into Monday night’s press screening of the British crime thriller Legend armed with only two bits of information, Tom Hardy was the leading man and there was two of him. I honestly knew nothing more than that having never even checked out the film’s trailer nor researched it beforehand like I usually do. […]
I have to be honest with y’all. I’ve been anxiously waiting for this day to come ever since I first saw Mad Max Fury Road this past May. I’ve seen it not once, not twice, not even three times, but five triumphant times in the theater with one of them being a gigantic IMAX screen […]
After a friend’s son is found dead, Soviet secret-police officer Leo Demidov (Tom Hardy) suspects his superiors are covering up the truth. When Leo dares to raise questions, he is demoted and exiled to a provincial outpost with his wife (Noomi Rapace). There, Leo soon discovers other mysterious deaths with similar circumstances and convinces his […]

MAD-MAX FURY ROAD IS COMING TO BLU-RAY IN SEPTEMBER! That historic date in Blu-ray history will be none other than September flipping 1st…ONE […]
Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises), Academy Award® nominee Gary Oldman (Best Actor, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, 2011) and Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) star in the riveting and politically charged serial-killer thriller Child 44, arriving on Digital HD July 21 and on Blu-ray™ (plus Digital HD), DVD (plus Digital) and On Demand August 4 from […]
Before we even get into chatting about all the reasons why Mad Max Fury Road is “50 Shades of F#%king Awesome” I want to spend a moment reflecting upon the film’s theatrical trailers over the past year. All I can say is F YEAH! You want to know how to do a trailer right and pack […]
The Drop is a strange sort of film, as it is ostensibly a crime drama rooted in its characters, but not quite focused enough to claim to be about one thing in particular. Sure, Tom Hardy is the lead in this film and we are basically following his mysterious character, who seems like a simple […]

Ivan Locke (Hardy) is a man at the top of his game. A dedicated husband and father and a star employee at a high-powered construction firm, he’s the model of cool professionalism with a talent for managing complex situations. Driving home on the eve of the biggest challenge of his career, Locke makes a sudden […]
While I am sure Aaron Neuwirth will be covering this one in much more depth in his Hall H recap from yesterday, about 3 hours ago Warner Bros. let this Mad Max: Fury Road trailer leak in HD online. I wanted you readers to see it as soon as humanly possible so I dropped everything I […]

Watching someone attempt to control chaos can be a very exciting thing. Fittingly enough, in recent years, I have now watched two major Batman villains attempt it. Obviously Heath Ledger did his best to wreak havoc on the fictional Gotham City, only to be nearly outdone later by Tom Hardy’s Bane, but now Hardy is […]
Happy Birthday mom! The long awaited The Dark Knight Trilogy: Ultimate Collector’s Edition hits Blu-ray on your birthday!!! What more can you ask for? All your prayers have been answered. And while I might be bittersweet that extended or re-cut editions of the film won’t be materializing, it is very nice to finally see word of […]
Earlier this month I released my worst films of 2012. That was probably one of the easiest lists I ever put together. The good ones from the year the Mayan calendar ended were a little more difficult to assemble. It was another year of superheroes at the box office which brought in super dividends for […]
