We should have known that the famous line “I’ll be back” was more than a just a quip, but a mantra promising decades of reboots and rethinks. With Terminator: Dark Fate, we finally have another chapter worthy of the first two...

I’m not going to pretend to have a comprehensive Terminator collection. I’m sure some hardcore fan out there must own every video edition known to man (as I must with certain...

It seems to be a common trend these days to see old action stars struggling to remain relevant to their audiences. Sometimes it works, but other times… Brian Hoss This could probably double as...

Though I have no doubt it will be an excellent disc in all technical respects, I’m left torn about whether to buy it now or wait for the inevitable Criterion edition. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Isle...

The week’s Top 12 yielded a combined total of $49 million. These terrible numbers accurately represent the quality of the majority of recent movies. I sure hope the suits in Hollywood are taking note. After a...
