We have something kind of special to offer you in our latest contest. Not only did Lionsgate send us an extra 4k Ultra HD + Blu-ray edition of Luc Besson’s sci-fi epic ‘Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets‘, it comes with a pretty sweet piece of swag. You’ve gotta take a look at...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of November 19th, 2017 – Let the Good Times Roll

Holiday weeks are usually slow for home video, but with Black Friday imminent, the Blu-ray studios offer us a couple of major titles. Yes, one of them was a huge bomb, but I’m sure it’ll look awfully pretty in 4k. Also of interest is a notable indie that scored surprising buzz for a star many...

SteelBook Alert: Pop Goes the Artwork

Josh Zyber — Wed, 18 Oct 2017 12:00:44 +0000

I’ve complained a fair amount about Pop Art Blu-ray cases in this blog, but the truth of the matter is that some of it is better than others. Or, perhaps a more accurate way to put it is that there are degrees to which some of it is tolerable. ‘Valerian and the City of a...

Weekend Box Office: Sinking the Competition

Luke Hickman — Mon, 24 Jul 2017 16:00:33 +0000

This weekend showed the possibility of two trends coming true: Effects-driven blockbusters will decline and original content will thrive. Christopher Nolan’s war film and the female-led crude comedy both outgrossed expectations. Could we be witnessing the start of a new phase in Hollywood? Warner Bros. placed a lot of trust in Christopher Nolan when cutting...

Weekend Movies: Totally Trippy

Luke Hickman — Fri, 21 Jul 2017 14:00:22 +0000

The back-to-back busy weekends continue with three big new movies arriving in theaters. While this could be a hectic weekend at the box office, I have a feeling that things won’t go too well for any of the three. While Christopher Nolan’s latest film is being buzzed as a sure Best Picture and Best Director...

‘Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets’ Review: The Fifth and a Half Element

Philip Brown — Thu, 20 Jul 2017 19:00:23 +0000

There used to be a thriving market of European filmmakers who made trashy exploitation movies for a global market. Sadly, Luc Besson is essentially the last man standing in this genre movie tradition. But he’s also one of the most successful of all time, producing and writing delightfully trashy action flicks like the ‘Transporter’ and...
