4K UHD Review: After Hours (Criterion Collection)
Released in 1985, Martin Scorsese’s dark comedy After Hours offers an unflinching look at the edgier side of New York City’s Soho district.

Blu-ray Review: Cheech & Chong’s Animated Movie
Cheech & Chong’s Animated Movie reunites the legendary comedy duo for their first film in nearly thirty years.

Blu-ray Review: Hoodwinked Too! – Hood Vs Evil
This is a sequel nobody asked for. A modest box office hit in January, 2006, Hoodwinked cut through the competition with its brand of fairy tale satire and sarcasm, providing a Shrek on a budget, experience for families looking for something to see at the multiplex. The sequel arrived nearly five years after the original, […]
