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. […]

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 […]
MEAN GIRLS on Blu Ray Steelbook – Time for a Fetch Upgrade!
Oh, MEAN GIRLS and all of its quotable dialogue and high energy. I love it! I still vividly recall the opening night screening I attended all the way back in 2004 and the loud, laugh-filled reaction from the audience. and love that it still gets quoted and admired after all this time; both being a […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
THE FIRST WIVES CLUB on Blu Ray – The You Go Girls of the 1990s
Starting in 1969, THE FIRST WIVES CLUB is a pact of four women out of college to all stay in touch with one another. Decades later and the pact not being followed, one of the women is a divorcee who jumps off of her penthouse to her death. Yes, that’s a very dark way to […]
