Insurgent

Allison Rose | Aug 04, 2015

The four hours worth of extras are the real addition that makes owning this movie even slightly worthwhile. If you are a fan who wants to have the complete set...go out and buy it, but otherwise, it is one that doesn’t really need to.

The Casual Vacancy

Allison Rose | Aug 03, 2015

Never judge a book by its cover. That is one of the lessons of The Casual Vacancy, the J.K Rowling book adaptation that was a three hour miniseries on BBC and HBO.

Justice League: Gods and Monsters

Nathan M Rose | Jul 28, 2015

Imagine if you will, a world where there is a Superman, but no Clark Kent, a Batman, but no Bruce Wayne, A Wonder Woman, but no Princess Diana. These are some of the changes this Elseworlds (i.e. Alternate Universe) tale has in store for the viewer.

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Allison Rose | Jul 27, 2015

I know the saying is “third time’s a charm”, but, for Fox Searchlight, it seems to be the second go around is charming, or at least just as charming, as the first.

The Longest Ride

Allison Rose | Jul 23, 2015

The Longest Ride is about love and passion, as well as dedication and sacrifice. However, at the end of the day, it is still a Nicholas Sparks’ film and you pretty much get what you expect.

X-Men: Days of Future Past Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

X-Men: Days of Future Past (The Rogue Cut)

Allison Rose | Jul 23, 2015

I have a great idea for a new drinking game. Every time you spot a difference from the original X-Men: Days of Future Past to the new Rogue cut, take a shot! With 30 more minutes of footage you will surely be drunk!

The Strain Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Strain: Season 1 - The Premium Collector’s Edition

Nathan M Rose | Jun 30, 2015

Nowadays, vampire television, films and series are a dime a dozen; but, when someone like director Guillermo del Toro puts his name on something, it causes one to pause and pay attention. Such is the case with The Strain.

The Gunman

Allison Rose | Jun 30, 2015

Heading to Blu-ray and DVD on June 30, 2015, The Gunman reminds us that the sins of our past will always come back to haunt us.

Get Hard

Allison Rose | Jun 30, 2015

I don’t think Will Ferrell (Elf, Anchorman) is funny. Yes, I said it…he isn’t funny. I know I’m opening myself up for lots of hate mail with that statement but in my defense I give you exhibit A – Get Hard (coming to Blu-ray and DVD June 30, 2015).

Run All Night

Nathan M Rose | Jun 16, 2015

While Run All Night is not in the same league as some of Liam Neeson’s other action films (Taken, Non-Stop), it is a very gripping and engaging story.
