Josh Zyber — Mon, 06 May 2019 12:00:54 +0000

The Blu-ray scene kind of fell to pieces the last couple weeks without any major new movies on disc. This week begins to rebuild with a recent box office hit that looks pretty fun. New Releases (Blu-ray) The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part – Following the Batman and Ninjago spinoffs, Chris Pratt and crew...

Weekend Roundtable: Based on a True Story

Josh Zyber — Fri, 09 Feb 2018 20:00:43 +0000

When screenwriters run out of fiction ideas to make movies about, turning toward real events is often a good idea.

Black Hawk Down of Duty?

Wayne Rowe — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 13:00:00 +0000

Few would deny that Ridley Scott is a competent director. Since he made ‘Alien‘ and ‘Blade Runner‘, he gets a lot of free passes in my book. However, Scott has been taking advantage of said passes rather liberally in the last 10-12 years. This ‘Alien’ prequel thing he’s doing could easily go south pretty quickly...

The Netflix Stream: Week of April 3rd, 2011

Dick Ward — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 15:00:56 +0000

It’s a good week for Netflix subscribers who also happen to be anime fans. Netflix signed a deal with Viz to get ‘Naruto’, ‘Bleach’ and a few others up for streaming. Even better, they’re subtitled. Not into anime? Then maybe you’ll be interested in ‘The Other Guys’ or ‘Toy Story 3’. Leaving the Stream ‘The...
