Blu-ray Highlights: Week of May 22nd, 2016 – Movies, Now More Than Ever!

Josh Zyber — Mon, 23 May 2016 12:00:45 +0000

The two best Blu-rays this week are actually reissues of movies previously released on the format. That either speaks toward how badly these titles deserved a do-over, or how uninteresting everything else is. New Releases ‘Zoolander 2‘ – The original ‘Zoolander’ had precisely one funny scene, involving a bunch of bimbo male models throwing a...

Weekend Box Office: Dead Rising

Luke Hickman — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 17:00:50 +0000

This Valentine’s weekend, romance flicks got placed on the back burner while an edgy super-antihero action/comedy destroyed records as if it were a summer tentpole blockbuster. For months, I shat all over the trailers for ‘Deadpool‘. After he starred in three quip-fueled comic book movies that were all big failures, I had no desire to...

Weekend Movies: Dead in the Water

Luke Hickman — Fri, 12 Feb 2016 17:00:47 +0000

Some of this Valentine’s Day weekend’s new movies are getting much more buzz than they deserve. You’ve seen Ryan Reynolds try to quip his way through three bad comic book movies by now (‘Blade Trinity‘, ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine‘, ‘Green Lantern‘), only to miserably fail each time. With the help of Marvel geeks and a lot...

‘Zoolander 2’ Review: Acceptable, If Nothing Special

Philip Brown — Fri, 12 Feb 2016 14:00:50 +0000

Comedy sequels ain’t easy. Like hearing the same joke twice, it just won’t be quite as funny the second time, no matter how amusing the telling. Only a handful of examples manage to match or top their originals, but those are the exceptions, not the rule. That’s certainly true of ‘Zoolander 2’, a sequel that...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of January 31st, 2016 – Like a Bridge Over Troubled Water

Josh Zyber — Mon, 01 Feb 2016 13:00:49 +0000

We’re in that awkward time of year between the Oscar nominations and the actual ceremony. This week’s Blu-ray releases feature several movies that courted Oscar’s attention. One of them had more success at that than the others. New Releases ‘Bridge of Spies‘ – Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks reunite (their fourth time working together) for...

The Trailer Park: Another Summer of Sequels

M. Enois Duarte — Tue, 05 Jan 2016 20:00:59 +0000

2016 is ramping up to be a year loaded with sequels. Some cater to decades-old favorites, while others try to reboot beloved series. ‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ I must admit that I’ve never been a big fan of ‘Independence Day’. Don’t get me wrong, I like it fine enough, but I’ve never thought it more than...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of November 29th, 2015 – You Know I’m No Good

Josh Zyber — Mon, 30 Nov 2015 13:00:27 +0000

Welcome back, everybody! As we return from the long holiday weekend, I wish I had more exciting news to bring you about the first new Blu-ray releases of December. Unfortunately, this is an especially slow week. New Releases ‘Amy‘ – Sad as it may be to say, I doubt that anyone was too surprised when...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of October 12th, 2014 – Future Tense

Josh Zyber — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:00:39 +0000

Time travel seems to be a major theme on Blu-ray this week. From mutant superheroes to talking dogs, everybody’s zipping back and forth from past to future, or vice versa. New Releases ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past‘ – Director Bryan Singer returns to straighten out the mess of conflicting continuity issues in the ‘X-Men’ franchise...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of June 1st, 2014 – Stay Gold, Ponyboy

Josh Zyber — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:00:45 +0000

In this week’s new Blu-ray releases, 1950s greasers fight for your dollar against a bevy of undead challengers, including zombies, vampires, a Frankensteinian cyborg and even a resurrected holy man. Oh, and let’s throw in some cannibals too for good measure. If we could get all of these into one movie, imagine what a spectacle...
