TOP GUN (Blu-Ray)

Some days, you just gotta say 'fuck it'. Last night was one of those times, as I said the magic f-word disclaimer as I slipped the new blu of director Tony Scott's once a mega-hit (in fact, the biggest film…

SUPER HYBRID (Blu-Ray and DVD)

I know what you're saying: "Cyrus, really? A killer car movie? That's a sub-genre that's been exhausted". And my instinct was right there with you. My instinct was wrong. Believe it or not, while not…

I don't think you can call this a “comedy”. Granted, it stars Will Ferrell, Glenn…

I can't believe I'm still banging my head against the wall on this one. How many of you out there STILL have your noses up in the air about giving a try to the…

SUPERMAN ANTHOLOGY (Blu-Ray)

I'm as subject to overwhelming floods of emotion due to nostalgic attachment as the next guy, and what does it for me is often the all-too familiar leitmotifs in movie and television show themes. Of all of…

This is kind of an odd week, with very few wide release films coming out for home theaters, but maybe that's because nobody wants to compete with the main contender, Cyrus' most anticipated film on blu-ray, the best Pixar movie ever and, duh, his...

Yet more delayed reviews...

THE LAST UNICORN (Blu-ray and DVD)

I know it sounds like the girliest thing ever, but if you're even vaguely a fantasy or animation fan, it's imperative that you take me at my word that the 1982…

Yet more catch-up. *sigh*

48 HOURS (Blu-Ray)

I know Eddie Murphy is a sad shadow of his former self these days, having not actually been more than…

I never got to do the full-on catch-up of some titles along the way that I wanted to, but here are some titles that I missed from the last two months that need mention....

GAME OF DEATH (Blu-Ray and DVD)

No, this isn't a remake of the famously unfinished Bruce Lee film. Seems to me that putting a celebrity known for their martial…

That's right kids, it's time for another weekly glance at the NEW RELEASES on DVD and Blu-Ray at your local home vide...erm...hmmm. I guess, a look at the stuff that just came out that you can actually buy/stream now. Not a lot of local home video stores around so much anymore. But first, let's lead this off as usual with a look of the best of the best in weekly viewing/buying choices, the...

NEVER LET ME GO (Blu-Ray and DVD)

After watching this 2010 sort-of science fiction film by director Mark Romanek, I'm not surprised at all that he…

CONVICTION (Blu-Ray and DVD)

I'm a sucker for films that provoke my outrage through portraying injustice. Doubly suckered in if it's got a 'spunky underdog who refuses to give up no matter what the cost' element. Welcome to my love for…

NOWHERE BOY (Blu-Ray and DVD)

Lately we've been besieged with John Lennon based films and documentaries, the best of which, for my dollar, was…
