Blu-ray Review: Bliss - Dark Sky

  Disc Rating:

[Rating:8/10]

I’ll admit it before I even begin typing this review, I’m a huge fan of Joe Begos. I absolutely loved Almost Human, I thought The Mind’s Eye was excellent, and now we’re here with Bliss, and from what I understand, he has yet another movie being released this year with VFW. If someone gives this man a budget, you better watch out, because he’s doing special things on…

Blu-ray Review: Teen Titans Go! Vs Teen Titans - WB/DC

Blu-ray Review: Teen Titans Go! Vs Teen Titans – WB/DC

Disc Rating:

[Rating:9/10]

A lot of people talk bad about it, but I just can’t help but love Teen Titans Go! I’ve been a fan of the show for a long time. I was apprehensive at first, but once my kid started watching it, I had an excuse to sit down and watch it myself, and found myself to be highly entertained. One of the main complaints people have is that the animation is geared towards…

Blu-ray Review: Gwen - RLJE

Gwen is a movie I knew little about before it was solicited for review. I knew it was allegedly a horror movie, that it was a period movie, and that it was picked up for streaming exclusively by Shudder, but outside of that, I went in totally blind.  I find that’s how I like to view all of my movies lately, even if it’s something I’m really looking forward to, I try to avoid trailers, as they…

Blu-ray Review: 3 From Hell - Lionsgate

Blu-ray Review: 3 From Hell – Lionsgate

I’m a fan of Rob Zombie’s films. He hasn’t made a movie that I didn’t enjoy. I love House of 1k Corpses, Devil’s Rejects is one of my favorite films of all time, even 31 has moments of greatness. When I learned that Zombie was making a third film in the Firefly series, I didn’t know what to think. The 3 very clearly died at the end of Rejects, so barring some supernatural event, such as Dr.…

Review:

A creature feature, produced by Sam Raimi, and directed by Alexandre Aja? Count me in. When I…

Disclosure: Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of this 4K UHD disc reviewed in this post. The opinions I share are my own.

Blu-ray Review: The Banana Splits Movie - Warner Bros. - Available 8/27/19

The first time I saw the news that an R-rated Banana Splits horror movie was on the horizon, I thought it was a joke. The Banana Splits? Gory Horror? No way! But, then we got a trailer, and things became real. I guess behind the scenes they wanted to make a Five Nights at Freddy’s, but apparently there was a rights snafu, or at least that’s what I’ve read. I don’t have any inside information…

Blu-ray Review: Batman: Hush - WB Batman: Hush is one of the DC Animated movies I've been most anticipating. I'm a big fan of the book, so I was curious to see if they'd done it justice, considering 90 percent of DC's animated output is second-to-none.

Blu-ray Review: Weird Science - Arrow Video

I may lack the ability to display it outwardly, but I was very excited for Arrow’s release of Weird Science. It’s one of my all-time favorite movies, as a kid, and even now as an adult. I’ve collected the movie on every format, even Blu-ray. Unfortunately, the Blu-ray Universal released in 2013 was utter crap. The video quality was very bad. It was an old master, and tweaked and fiddled with in…

The Dead Don't Die is Coming to DVD & Blu-ray/digital on September 10th

Jim Jarmusch is an interesting filmmaker, with an eclectic body of work. So, when I first saw he was directing a Zombie movie, I thought it was a joke. The news/trailer broke around the same time as this year’s April Fools Day, so you can forgive me for being skeptical. After I saw the trailer, and realized the cast involved in this movie, it became immediately a must-see for me. Unfortunately I…

See the First Trailer for Zombieland: Double Tap Right Here. I can't believe it actually happened. It has been talked about forever, but I honestly thought a sequel to Zombieland would never see the light of day.

Universal Brings Ma Home To Blu-ray and DVD on Sept 3, Digital August 20

Universal announced today that it would be releasing the Blumhouse produced “Ma” to purchase on digital on August 20th, and finally home to Blu-ray and DVD on September 3rd. It would appear that this title will not see a 4K release, at least not at the moment of this posting. I’m looking forward to seeing Ma. I’m disappointed that the marketing campaign gave away the entire movie in trailers and…
