Blu-ray Highlights: Week of August 9th, 2015 – Running Cold

Josh Zyber — Mon, 10 Aug 2015 12:00:57 +0000

It’s another week in which the Blu-ray release slate is dominated by new movies of questionable merit. If you’re looking for something to buy, perhaps keep your eyes on catalog titles from the likes of Criterion or Twilight Time. Those generally have something interesting to offer. New Releases ‘Hot Pursuit‘ – Female-centric comedies have had...

‘Hot Pursuit’ Review: Hot Mess

Philip Brown — Fri, 08 May 2015 13:00:01 +0000

The only possible justification for the existence of ‘Hot Pursuit’ is to prove to audiences that ‘The Heat‘ actually wasn’t so bad. It seems strange to think that a rival studio would waste the resources to produce an entire movie simply to make a two-year-old Melissa McCarthy vehicle easier to watch. There’s no possible way...

‘Wild Card’ Review: Not Quite Standard Issue Statham

Philip Brown — Thu, 29 Jan 2015 20:00:49 +0000

I must confess to having a soft spot for Jason Statham. Along with The Rock, he’s the last of the old-fashioned action stars. And much like Dwayne Johnson, he’s also a far better actor than his heavily accented 1980s forbearers. Statham might specialize in C-grade action flicks, but at least he’s good at it and...

‘Chef’ Review: Favreau Cooks on a Low Heat

Philip Brown — Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:00:08 +0000

While anyone who directs a movie like ‘Iron Man’ obviously knows a thing or two about blockbuster entertainment, it was always a bit odd to see Jon Favreau working in the $150 million arena. The new indie comedy ‘Chef’ feels like a long overdue homecoming for Favreau. Even if it isn’t his best entry in...

Now Playing: ‘Machete’ Slays Me

Bryan Kluger — Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:00:49 +0000

“Machete don’t tweet” is just one of the hilarious lines uttered by Danny Trejo’s iconic character, Machete Cortez, in this new fun-as-hell sequel from Robert Rodriguez. If you pay attention, you might notice that Rodriguez has actually made a ‘Star Wars’ film with Machete in it this time around, complete with machete lightsabers, versions of...

2012 Golden Globe Nominations Announced

Josh Zyber — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 14:00:04 +0000

Yesterday morning, in a presentation hosted by Woody Harrelson, Sofia Vergara, Gerard Butler and Rashida Jones, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced its nominees for the upcoming Golden Globe Awards ceremony in January. While a first glance at the list of nominations may not appear to hold many surprises, the biggest surprise (and frankly disappointment)...
