Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

Hannah and Her Sisters - Blu-ray Review The family tree gets a bit uprooted in the fantastic Hannah and Her Sisters.  Set between two family thanksgivings, this 1986 offering from writer/director Woody Allen is rich in storytelling flow – as the characters take turn narrating the events – and ...

Bully - Movie Review

E-mail

Bully - Movie Review With its well-intentioned but woefully incomplete message, Lee Hirsch’s Bully makes its way into theaters brandishing the MPAA’s cursed “Unrated” badge. That’s a shame really as it means the film likely won’t get the school support it was meant to mobilize ...

Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

Two Lane Blacktop - Blu-ray Review Quite simply, Two-Lane Blacktop is the purest road movie to ever exist. Revisiting Monte Hellman’s classic is not unlike listening to remastered Jimi Hendrix on 180 gram vinyl; a mood-altering earnest trip through the countercultural consciousness complete ...

Wrath of the Titans - Movie Review

E-mail

Wrath of the Titans - Movie Review With better special effects and a more effective 3D tooling, Wrath of the Titans attempts to make up for the lackluster 2010 remake that undazzled critics and somehow still earned a buck or two. It doesn’t. Not by a longshot. Call it The Wrath of the Sequel because...

The Jazz Singer (1927) - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

The Jazz Singer Blu-ray Review I’m not trying to be funny here, but how many of you heard about The Jazz Singer before you actually saw it?  It turns out the revolution was televised (in a roundabout manner of speaking).  Moving pictures were meant to have sound and, in 1927, the technology ...

Undefeated - Movie Review

E-mail

Undefeated - Movie Review With the wind of a recent Oscar win for Best Documentary Feature at its back, Undefeated heads out into the wooly wilderness of a wide theatrical release this weekend. Born from a magazine article about college football recruiting, the documentary is a culmination of ...

Stolen - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

Stolen - Blu-ray Review If you missed the lackluster Stolen in its initial 14 day theatrical run, well, I don’t blame you.  Easy to watch when the brain is switched off, the film is largely a sloppy affair that can’t decide on a silly or sadistic tone. While not a complete loss thanks to the scenery chewed by everyone BUT...

This Means War - Movie Review

E-mail

This Means War - Movie Review With shades of an early ‘60’s-era romantic comedy that might have starred Rock Hudson and Doris Day, but with the cinematic intelligence of a five-year-old, This Means War does for the romantic comedy what Episode I did to ...

House at the End of the Street - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

House at the End of the Street - Blu-ray Review House at the End of the Street (otherwise known as 101 Generic Minutes) is a bad career location for Jennifer Lawrence.  She’s too talented of an actress to get caught up in a supposed suburban horror film that is neither scary nor any good.  A haunted house ...

Overtime - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

Overtime - Blu-ray Review While far from perfect, Brian Cunningham and Matt Niehoff’s Overtime isn’t the total loss that it easily could have been.  You’ve got a low-budget film starring former WWE superstar Al Snow and a cast of other unknowns battling an alien-virus that turns people into ...

The Room (2003) - Blu-ray Review

E-mail

The Room - Blu-ray Review This movie – no, this phenomenon – will change your life.  Permanently. Tommy Wiseau’s The Room, having already earned freakish line-quoting followers in Los Angeles and New York through its communal (and sold out) midnight showings, is now High Definition ...

Creature - Movie Review

E-mail

Creature - Movie Review After a promising opening scene, in which an attractive young woman (Jennifer Lynn Warren) slowly disrobes and slips into the murky backwaters of a Louisiana swamp before being stalked and dismembered by a rogue alligator ...
