EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE on 4k Blu Ray – Oscars Hopeful
One of the most talked about movies of 2022, EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE at first was thought of as a movie that might have had a small theatrical release For me, this was a great way to do a multi-verse story after the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had a few too many swings at. […]

EMERGENCY DECLARATION on Blu Ray – Speed In The Air
A thrilling experience from beginning to end, EMERGENCY DECLARATION has a great premise right from the get go; what if a terrorist creates a virus outbreak on a commercial airliner out of South Korea headed for the United States?

The Menu on Blu Ray – Some People Call Me Ralph!
Fun story. THE MENU was the #1 movie I could NOT secure a seat to see at last fall’s Toronto International Film Festival. Back then I wasn’t totally aware it was a Fox Searchlight picture with the likes of Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy and was curious why I couldn’t get a ticket. But in […]

THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN on Blu Ray – Friendship Suffering on Home Video
From the slightly twisted mind of Martin McDonagh, THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN is a dark delight that reminds me of the power of having Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson together in a movie. In 2007’s great IN BRUGES (also directed by this film’s Martin McDonagh), I noticed the chemistry of these two right away. Cut […]

BABYLON Review – Indulgence, Talent, and Subtext
Damien Chazelle’s latest film has been called many things: grotesque, overlong, indulgent. But there’s a difference between an indulgent film and a film about indulgence. BABYLON, set in 1920s Hollywood, opens hard with graphic bodily functions, and though those burners never fully extinguish, it’s the hardest the film goes for some time. A deliberate message: […]
