Josh Zyber — Mon, 14 Aug 2017 12:00:52 +0000

New Blu-rays this week are inundated with terrifying bloody carnage, soapy teen romance, and drunken clowns. Geez, sounds like my seventh birthday party all over again. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Alien: Covenant‘ – The trailers for Ridley Scott’s new xenomorph splatterfest all made it look like a shameless retread of the original ‘Alien’ movie. Depending on...

Josh Zyber — Mon, 01 Aug 2016 12:00:38 +0000

Let me warn you in advance that this August does not look like a very exciting month for new Blu-rays releases. On the other hand, at least there are a lot of them. By volume alone, you might find something of interest. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Keanu‘ – The comedy team of Key & Peele take...

‘The Blacklist’ 3.01 Recap: “You’re Crazy, Old Man”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 06 Oct 2015 16:00:09 +0000

I wouldn’t say that I’ve ever really been in love with ‘The Blacklist’. Even at its best, it’s a pretty dopey show – and the second season was not its best. Nevertheless, the series is just entertaining enough to keep stringing me along. Now it’s back for a third season, which brings a big format...

Josh Zyber — Mon, 17 Aug 2015 12:00:00 +0000

When the biggest and most enticing Blu-ray release of the week is a collection of short films – some of them even rather old… well, gawrsh! That says somethin’, don’t it?

The middle of August seems like odd timing for a big Blu-ray push, but this week sees a huge volume of new releases hitting the market. Of course, as always, the trick is to find the few actually worth buying hidden among the dross. New Releases ‘Muppets Most Wanted‘ – This year’s new big-screen outing...

Spike’s Idiot Box: Down but Not Out

Michael Spike Steinbacher — Mon, 18 Nov 2013 20:00:01 +0000

I’ve been a huge fan of AMC’s ‘The Killing’, which was canceled twice, breaking my heart both times. So I was euphoric when I learned this week that Netflix has picked the series up for yet another final season. I’m quite excited for the show’s return, the date of which is currently unknown. In the...

Spike’s Idiot Box: There’s No Place Like ‘Homeland’

Michael Spike Steinbacher — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 20:00:28 +0000

My DVR has been working overtime lately. It seems like just about every current show is pumping out new episodes. I’m almost looking forward to the holidays and reruns, just so that I can ease up a little. I keep threatening to cut a lot of shows out of my watch list, but somehow that...
