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. […]

AMSTERDAM on 4k Blu Ray – What A Glorious Mess
All dressed up and nowhere to go, AMSTERDAM came and went from theatres and bewildered most that bothered to even watch it. This period picture set in and around the first World War and the roaring 20s. Everyone is in this movie it appears, but it features an unlikely friendship between three people (Margo Robbie, […]
Planes, Trains & Automobiles on 4k Blu Ray – The Thanksgiving Gift that Keeps on Giving
I feel like there is not much else to say about the motion picture known as PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES. When you hear the name, you instantly think back to the comedic exploits of Steve Martin and John Candy, two characters completely against type with one another, stuck together on a multi-day adventure of trying […]
WAYNE’S WORLD on 4k Blu Ray – A Most Excellent Restoration!
It’s party time! It’s excellent! The 1992 comedic gem WAYNE’S WORLD is the gift that keeps on giving. I already wrote about WAYNE’S WORLD last year and this is still a 100% comfort movie through and through. I was there when the movie originally opened in 1992 (on Valentine’s Day, no less) and it was […]
Saturday Night Fever on 4k Blu Ray – Staying Alive & Restored
From the famous music by the Bee Gee’s to the exact point in time that Disco music thrived, there is something incredibly special about SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER and especially seeing the picture 35 years later. I have seen the movie a few times over the years and have always loved watching the story of Tony […]
TOP GUN MAVERICK on 4k Blu Ray – Put Me Down For Greatest
TOP GUN: MAVERICK is a movie that took over my summer and was a runaway smash hit, and for once a big blockbuster movie that deserved all of its acclaim from both the media and audiences alike. After giving this movie a glowing review back in May, I went to see MAVERICK in theatres MANY […]
THE GODFATHER TRILOGY on 4k Steelbook – The Legends, Strong As Steel
Once again a movie series that pretty much needs no introduction, Francis Ford Coppola’s THE GODFATHER first arrived in 1972 and caused a sensation, Oscar wins and a sequel two years later that ALSO won Oscars. This mafia story spanning many decades with its complicated storyline and characters still lives on and inspires audiences old […]
FATAL ATTRACTION on 4k Blu Ray – It’s All So Complicated
FATAL ATTRACTION was a first-time viewing for this moviegoer, having being way too young and age inappropriate to watch this in the 1980s and then just kind of slipping through the cracks of my watch-list over the decades. It was even one that my parents would even scare me away and ban me from watching […]
THOR LOVE & THUNDER on 4k Blu Ray – Here We Go Again
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
THE LOST CITY on 4k Blu Ray – Ultra High-Def Escapism
THE LOST CITY was a hit when it came out earlier this year, which in a way was a relief as it wasn’t a sequel, a remake or a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. Most people don’t see movies that even rely on star power much anymore, but there was a lot of good reaction here […]
The Batman on 4k Blu Ray – Amazing Detail & Clarity on Home Video
One of the biggest theatrical hits of 2022 so far, THE BATMAN did get mixed reviews on its release. Seeing it again, I can kind of see some of the comments about the picture and its differences between other variations of all of the BATMAN movies. Matt Reeves’ take on the material is more dark […]
AMBULANCE on 4k Blu Ray – Michael Bay in his Highest Resolution
I have always had a soft spot for movies set in the Los Angeles area and about the city itself, a subject where filmmaker Michael Mann made very notable like in his famous shootout sequence in HEAT or in later years when his striking digital cinematography took him around the LA area by way of […]
