Josh Zyber — Mon, 30 Sep 2019 12:00:57 +0000

Hot on the heels of news that Spider-Man will remain part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe after all, the character’s latest solo adventure arrives on Blu-ray and Ultra HD to collect all your spare dollars. How fortuitous! If I were a more suspicious man, I might wonder if these things were deliberately timed to coincide...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of October 16th, 2016 – The Hunting of the Snark

Josh Zyber — Mon, 17 Oct 2016 12:00:30 +0000

With Halloween approaching, this is a good time for the home video studios to release a lot of horror movies on Blu-ray. Sadly, it’s also time to dump more of this summer’s box office flops. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Independence Day: Resurgence‘ – For acronym’s sake, I’ve long felt that the ‘ID4’ sequel should be called...

Full Metal Jackets: KIRRRRRKKK!!!!

Josh Zyber — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 19:00:22 +0000

The SteelBook scene has been unusually busy in recent months. I guess that the movie studios (or at least selected retailers, who request product orders from the studios) have finally realized that collectors love to scoop these metal cases up, even for movies of questionable merit or catalog titles that they already own on Blu-ray....

Josh Zyber — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 20:00:53 +0000

Hollywood seems to love mining old fairy tales for movie scripts. This week’s theatrical release of ‘Jack the Giant Slayer’ (adapted from ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’) is just the latest example. In today’s Roundtable, we take a look at some of the best and worst examples of this trend. Shannon Nutt Best: It’s a story...

Monster Madness: Gamera vs. Rancor – Predator vs. Pale Man

Aaron Peck — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 19:00:24 +0000

Let’s get this Monster Madness tournament started with a bang! Specifically, the bang that is surely produced from giant turtle ass thrusters. These first two match-ups are sure to be doozies. Honestly, I don’t know which character I’d favor in either of them. From the Horror Bracket, Gamera goes up against the fabled Rancor. Meanwhile,...

Unboxed: Korean ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ DVD

Josh Zyber — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 13:00:08 +0000

Over the years, I’ve collected far too many movies in box sets or fancy packaging that just wind up sitting on my shelves, collecting dust, unloved. This is especially true for DVD releases, which I seldom pay much attention after I’ve upgraded the movie in question to Blu-ray. That’s why I created this “Unboxed” series,...

As you’re no doubt aware, Monday is Halloween (in those countries that celebrate it, anyway). That means that this weekend is the perfect time to watch some scary movies! Since we’ve done a Roundtable on the general topic of horror movies once in the past, we’re going to hone in specifically on monster movies in...

Leaving the Stream: Week of August 8th, 2010

Dick Ward — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 17:00:53 +0000

The biggest downside to streaming movies on Netflix is the limited selection of films. That, and the lineup is constantly changing. As quickly as movies are added, other movies are removed. Here’s a look at the best of what’s dropping off this week, so that you’ll have a chance to watch them before they’re gone....
