Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015
Another year draws to a close. 2014 was a chaotic year in many respects, and will probably not go down in the history books as a great one in general. Here’s hoping that things look up in 2015!

I’ve been planning to upgrade my surround sound system to Dolby Atmos ever since the format was first announced for home use. Due to a variety of delays, some financial and some personal, I put off the installation of an Atm...
Looking back from the box office perspective, 2014 has been sorely disappointing. While last week’s Christmas movies gave it a little boost, this, the final week of the year, doesn’t offer anything great to carry us in...
It’s strange to watch ‘The Interview’ as though it’s some sort of massively important monument in the history of free speech. That’s what the film has become lately, yet it puts you in the wrong minds...

From all of us here at High-Def Digest, we wish our readers the happiest holiday wishes. The blog will be closed on Thursday and Friday this week. As I write this, I’m not sure what next week will look like. Probably a reduc...
‘Unbroken’ comes from source material so intrinsically exciting and moving that it should essentially makes itself into an effective film. The screenplay was worked on by (amongst a team of other writers) the Coen brot...
The exceedingly talented Stephen Sondheim has seen a few of his musicals get transformed into films, and the results have been mixed at best. It’s not easy to translate Sondheim to the screen, if only because his musicals ar...
Even though ‘The Interview’ may not be hitting theater screens as originally planned, this Christmas week still has lots of notable new releases to congest cinemas.
Set in early 1970s Los Angeles and very much indebted to the auteur-driven masterpieces that came out of Hollywood in that era, ‘Inherent Vice’ is a stoner detective art film. You might even be tempted to call it the f...
