4K UHD Review: Kingpin
On the heels of Dumb and Dumber, the Farrelly Brothers brought their unique mix of slapstick and toilet humor to the tale of another ‘loser’ with Kingpin. Roy Munson (Woody Harrelson) is a washed-up pro bowler, who lost his game hand and most of his hair in 1979 thanks to a scheming rival—the creepy Ernie […]
4K UHD Review: Scrooged
The youngest network president in television history, IBC’s Francis “Frank” Xavier Cross (Bill Murray) will stop at nothing to “own” Christmas in the Nielsen ratings.

The Grand Budapest Hotel (Blu-ray)

Anderson’s films often have an aura of timelessness about them, even if set in the present day. The dialogue may be updated, but the shot […]
Fantastic Mr. Fox (Criterion) (Blu-ray)
20th Century Fox released a fairly impressive Blu-ray of Fantastic Mr. Fox back in 2010. However, Criterion is renowned for producing wonderful looking, and sounding editions packed with special features. This release is no different; I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this release might show up on a few “Best […]
DVD Review: Steve Martin – The Television Stuff

Blu-ray Review: Meatballs
Having gained national exposure and an Emmy Award for his work on Saturday Night Live, Bill Murray made his feature film debut in Ivan Reitman’s Meatballs.
