Just like with the recent DR. STRANGE sequel, THOR LOVE & THUNDER actually disappointed on repeat viewing. I fear that this is a recurring thing with my viewings of Marvel movies, in that the excitement and the new factor greatly wears off on repeat viewing. I only saw LOVE & THUNDER once theatrically and remember […]

STAR TREK 1-6 on 4k Blu Ray – Special Editions In So Many Forms
Anyone who knows me knows that I am in love with STAR TREK..the original movies, for the most part. Don’t get me wrong, I watched all of the original series and THE NEXT GENERATION growing up, and I loved a lot of it, and yet there’s just something special about this particular journey of Captain […]
DON’T WORRY DARLING Review – Something is Amiss in Suburbia
The release of DON’T WORRY DARLING comes with a lot of controversy behind it. A lot has been said about the troubled production over the last year, from the original casting of Shia LeBoeuf as a pivotal character to the possible clash between filmmaker Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh, to the recent press conference where […]

TIFF 2022: Are We Back?
The subject of “are we back to normal” is still a debatable issue to this very day and it entirely depends on who you ask in this divided, opinionated current culture. There are people who just want to get back out there and live life, and then there are people who are still being as […]
MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU on 4k Blu Ray Disc – More Second Chances
I finally buckled. After years of trying to avoid any new movie that features the annoying little yellow Tic Tac-looking, denim wearing Minion characters, something interesting happened to me while the new THE RISE OF GRU hit my eyeballs. By some miracle, this origin story of Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) and how his beloved […]

BACK TO THE BEACH on Blu Ray – An 80s Return to the 60s
I have not seen BACK TO THE BEACH in many years; even in its 1987 release, both Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon had aged significantly in years and even the concept of bringing the BEACH BLANKET BINGO stars back was a strange concept for Paramount, who at that point seemed more invested in sequels, the […]

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 on 4k Blu Ray – Second Chances
Sometimes a movie grows on you. Earlier this year I saw an advance screening of SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 and didn’t care for it very much, though there were a few colourful moments in this very unnecessary sequel to an already unnecessary original. Still, both movies were a financial success and a sequel was inevitable. Seeing […]

Good Burger on Blu Ray Steelbook – How Did We Get Here?
On the list of movies that I feel needed a comeback, the cult classic (that term is also depending on who you ask) GOOD BURGER . If anything, it signalled the talents of Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell who have very different comedic personalities as two workers at the burger joint of the same name […]
