Blu-ray Review Veronica Mars – The Complete First Season (2019)
Kristen Bell’s Veronica Mars returned this past July, this time on Hulu in an eight-episode series revival. This is actually the series fourth season (with a feature film in 2014 serving as a bridge between them all) and sadly, it’s weakest by far. Veronica finds herself squaring off against a bomber terrorizing spring breakers in […]
Blu-ray Review: CHIPS (2017)
[amazon_link asins=’B071DX64LP’ template=’ProductAd’ store=’moviegazetteo-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’a6781a49-5792-11e7-94fe-097c2ce80c4b’] Dull, rude, and insulting, CHiPs is bro cinema at its worst, the movie equivalent of two teenage boys having a contest to see who can come up with the most swear words in two minutes. The movie is based on the popular late-’70s/early-’80s TV show of the same name, […]

Blu-ray Review: Burlesque
Sony Pictures | 2010 |119 mins. | PG-13 While 2010’s Burlesque is certainly no Dreamgirls, or Chicago, it’s not Showgirls either. Truthfully, writer/director Steve Antin hasn’t infused this film with one ounce of originality. We’ve all seen the story—poor, small town girl long to make it in the big city. Along the way, she finds […]
Blu-ray Review: You Again
Touchstone Pictures | 2010 | 105 mins. | PG Kristen Bell made her name playing a high school outcast as the title character on televisions Veronica Mars. From there, in the movie Fanboys, she slipped comfortably into a Princess Leia bikini as a Star Wars obsessive. Given her more recent choices, you have to wonder […]
Blu-ray Review: When in Rome
Disney/Buena Vista | 2010 | 91 mins. | Rated PG-13 When in Rome is a paint-by-the-numbers romantic comedy that desperately wants to be something more. It tries for moments of significance, moments of introspection, moments obviously meant to speak to women about romance. However, those rarely work, and in their wake we are left with […]
