I had the chance to review Heavy Metal which was recently released in a gorgeous steelbook. Take a listen to my review: Synopsis Based on the fantastical illustrated magazine HEAVY METAL, producer Ivan Reitman enlists the help of some of Hollywood’s animation masters to create the otherworldly tale of a

Kino Lorber has released In The Heat of the Night on 4K. This release is a must own for film historians and fans of Sidney Poitier. Looking back at my movie watching favorites that still resonate with me today. It’s my favorite Poitier film. I love his other work, but

Wherever David Cronenberg makes a movie with Viggo Mortensen, magic happens. A History of Violence is my favorite Cronenburg film, but this is a close second.  Vincent Cassel is the embodiment of evil as the son of Armin-Mueller Stahl, the boss of the Russian mob. I first was made aware of

I am a broken record but never sleep on the bonus features. My personal preference is to watch the film with audio commentary if I have seen the film before. The commentary by Francis Ford Coppola is well worth the price of the set. There is so much to be

Shooter has arrived in 4K in a stellar looking steelbook from Paramount Pictures. Their steelbook releases have been great so far. I’m interested in seeing what future releases are on the horizon. This is one of my favorite Mark Wahlberg action thrillers. He and Michael Peña are great together. However,

You’ll be afraid to go back … in the streets. Well the Los Angeles streets made to look like St. Louis. The movie supposedly takes place in Missouri yet there’s not any shots of the Arch or the Missouri River. I love Alligator and it’s cheesy story. What’s not to

I’ve watched Wayne’s World over 30 times easily. At least three times in the theater. I watched the film with commentary this time. This was one of my favorite commentary tracks that I’ve watched. The amazing Penelope Spheeris gave me so much information and background on the film. Growing up,

I love F/X. It was a staple on HBO while I was growing up. I remember watching movies over and over again. Back then, there wasn’t on demand or DVR’s so you have to check the channel guide for when the next airing was. I’ve always love special effects. The

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Francis Ford Coppola’s Academy Award®-winning* masterwork The Godfather, Paramount Pictures announced today that the film will have a limited theatrical release in Dolby Vision beginning February 25, 2022 exclusively in Dolby Cinema at AMC Theatres in the U.S., as well as in international

I have yet to watch Last Night In Soho. I have not even watched a full trailer. I am looking forward to receiving a review copy because I have heard so many wonderful things. I also have enjoyed all of Edgar Wrights’ movies. The film arrives on digital 4k on

The Wolf of Wall Street is one of Scorsese’s best works. It has recently been released in 4K. I had the chance to watch the film. It is not a movie I would traditionally buy because the visual effects would not truly warrant it. The sound mix of this disc

Joe Carnahan delivers a balls to the wall action thriller with COPSHOP. The film stars Gerard Butler, Frank Grillo, Alexis Louder (the star of the film) and a slew of other character actors. My favorite of which is Toby Huss as the rival hitman. He’s over the top and I
