The latest from Universal and Illumination (the latter mostly known for the DESPICABLE ME movies), MIGRATION snuck up on me in its holiday release and eventually won over audiences with a respectable theatrical release. I remember watching the movie in theatres at the end of a busy moviegoing day and having a lot of fun […]

TITANIC on 4k Blu Ray – A Visually Spectacular Disaster
It was the ship that many claimed could never sink. But it did. You all know the story. One of the most legendary stories in history happened in 1912 when a passenger ship sent out from England to New York City. 2200 people were on board and there were many aspects to the boat, from […]
TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS on 4k Blu Ray Review – ‘Til All Are One
While I tire of a lot of the mass produced studio product this year, TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS is a rare exception. A pure, fun summer popcorn movie that wears its heart on its sleeve, it was a fun action movie that did decently on its theatrical release but I really wish did better. […]
STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION on 4k Blu Ray – Beam It All Up
MORE Star Trek Cinema on 4k disc is happening! I have reviewed the STAR TREK original film series for the site on more than one occasion in the past, and while most of the series has their flaws, the overall theme of the future being a bright and prosperous one with future technologies benefitting all […]
THE FABLEMANS on 4k Blu Ray – Spielberg In All His Glory
One of the finest movies I saw in 2022, THE FABELMANS is pretty much the childhood upbringing of it’s director, Steven Spielberg. This premiered at last falls Toronto International Film Festival where it won the Audience Award and it was very much deserved. As a kid in New Jersey he saw THE GREATEST SHOW ON […]

BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER on 4k Blu Ray – Lather, Rinse, Repeat
A sequel of sorts to the 2018 smash hit BLACK PANTHER featuring the now-late Chadwick Boseman, this sequel has a completely different tone and feeling, not much to its merit. This sequel mostly takes place in the fictional world of Wakanda as outside forces try to make their way in and it’s up to Every […]
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. […]
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 […]
