DVD Review: The Kominsky Method -The Complete First Season
Chuck Lorre, the man behind such hit sitcoms as The Big Bang Theory, Mom, and Two and a Half Men takes on aging in his latest sitcom, The Kominsky Method. “We are passengers on boats slowly sinking,” Sandy Kominsky (Michael Douglas, Wall Street) says. A legendary acting coach in Hollywood, he was once a successful […]

Wait Until Dark (Blu-ray)
Based on the hit Broadway play by Frederick Knott, fifty years after its initial theatrical release, the last fifteen minutes of Wait Until Dark has lost none of its memorable bite. Audrey Hepburn received her fifth Oscar nomination for her performance as Susy Hendrix, a woman who, having lost her sight just a year earlier […]
Grudge Match (Blu-ray)
Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone starred in two of the greatest boxing films in movie history: Raging Bull and Rocky. Grudge Match, directed by Peter Segal and credited to three screenwriters, may have intended to recapture the magic of the earlier films, but it’s terrible. I dare say it’s painful to see icons like […]
Blu-ray Review: Argo
Few directors have enjoyed as much success as Ben Affleck this early in their careers. Few would deny that his previous directorial efforts, Gone Baby Gone and The Town showed that Affleck had a real affinity for guiding a film, with the later turning out to be one of the most intense crime dramas in […]
Blu-ray Review: The Santa Clause (Complete 3-Movie Collection)
Released in 1994, The Santa Clause is one of the few Christmas movies that could be a modern classic. For the last several years, it’s been one of those films that get watched at least once in my house in the month leading up to Christmas. Like most sequels, Santa Clause 2 and Santa Claus […]
Blu-ray Review: The Muppets
First introduced to the Muppets on Sesame Street, I’ve been a big fan ever since. However, since creator Jim Henson’s death in 1990, the franchise has seemed a bit lost. The last theatrical release in the franchise dated back to 1999 when the lackluster Muppets From Space was released. Since Disney purchased the Muppets in […]

Blu-ray Review: The Rocketeer (20th Anniversary Edition)
A longtime associate of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, Joe Johnston made his directorial debut with 1989’s Honey I Shrunk the Kids. The film grossed over $200 million at the box office, and made Johnston a much sought after director. The Rocketeer, based on the character created by comic book writer/artist Dave Stevens, was the […]
The Rocketeer Makes Its Way to Blu-ray on December 13th
Joe Johnston’s (Captain America: The First Avenger) The Rocketeer hit theaters back in 1991 to mostly positive reviews but failed to attract a large audience at the time. The film stars Billy Campbell as a stunt pilot and mechanic in 1930’s California who comes across stolen jet-pack designed by Howard Hughes. Based on the retro […]
