The 2019 epic picture THE WANDERING EARTH was a flat out blockbuster from China that was a smash success internationally (it even had a terrific release here in Canada, even taking over some of the IMAX and premium format screens) with many parallels to all of the issues we face on our planet taken to […]

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? Movies almost entirely set on a plane are fascinating to me as it creates a situation […]

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: […]

AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER Review – From Here We Go Sublime
The 2009 release of AVATAR did come with a lot of trepidation, as is the case with a lot of James Cameron’s movies since the 1990s and onward. You would always hear about the production problems He did make one of the best decisions in industry history by delaying TITANIC from a Summer to a […]

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.
