Edward Scissorhands

Allison Rose | Oct 23, 2015

It’s difficult to believe this film premiered 25 years ago, but this anniversary edition allows older audiences to introduce a new generation to the gentle, childlike Scissorhands while teaching a lesson on accepting those who are different.

The Following Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Following: The Complete Third Season

Sean Ferguson | Oct 19, 2015

The Following was a brilliant and addictive series! Season one will still be my favorite and from there it went a bit downhill….just not so dramatically until episode 40!

For anyone who enjoyed the series and wants a little bit of holiday nostalgia, this paint can is a terrific way to relive it all. For the formidable collector, it would be a welcome addition and a perfect holiday gift.

American Horror Story Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

American Horror Story: Freak Show

Nathan M Rose | Oct 15, 2015

Unfortunately American Horror Story: Freak Show deviated too much from the supernatural plot that had worked in past seasons, and had performances that were just too over-the-top for my taste.

Aladdin

Allison Rose | Oct 13, 2015

It’s difficult to find fault in any way with Aladdin and, as a fan, I say it is about time Disney released it again for everyone to enjoy.

Spy

Sean Ferguson | Oct 13, 2015

Spy is hysterical with things that go Boom! It’s rated R so don’t watch it with the kids (there’s a few naughty bits in there) and push it thru to the end to see a small clip that will crack you up!

San Andreas

Allison Rose | Oct 12, 2015

The destruction of large cities and the Hoover Dam are not easy to accomplish but the crew does it well enough, and the 1080p video and 5.1 high definition audio help to enhance those scenes beautifully.

The Gallows

Allison Rose | Oct 12, 2015

There is nothing redeeming about The Gallows and I question why it ever got made. I know it made a profit, which is, of course, the ultimate goal in movies; but it was unentertaining and moronic. Don’t waste your time or money.

Tomorrowland

Nathan M Rose | Oct 12, 2015

Tomorrowland has an upbeat message about society and is more in line of the type of film Walt Disney would have approved his company making.

Full Review | Grade: B

Poltergeist

Nathan M Rose | Oct 11, 2015

Alas, Poltergeist ultimately fails at recreating the sheer terror and excitement of the original film and is just more cannon fodder in the “why are we making remakes” mindset.
