I did not see Double Dragon in theaters. I don’t think it even opened near me in Annapolis, MD. I did see the trailer in theaters tho before Timecop (and before the Street Fighter: The Movie trailer which was attached to Timecop). I didn’t see the whole movie until Mark Dacascos came out in Brothererhood […]
In 1993, Paul Newman starred in a movie called Nobody’s Fool for which he was Oscar nominated. 25 years later, Tyler Perry took Nobody’s Fool back to make it a Tiffany Haddish comedy. Danica (Tika Sumpter) is having a long distance relationship with Charlie whom she’s never met. Charlie always has some excuse why they […]

While going to rehab, he decided to write a screenplay based on his childhood in the industry and relationship with his father. That movie, Honey Boy, premiered at Sundance this weekend and it seems to be […]
First Man took a new modern approach to the story of Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling)’s walk on the moon. After filming intense sequences from inside the cockpits of various spacecrafts, it opened up to full IMAX for the lunar landing sequence. The Blu-ray has the IMAX sequence and you can tell the image quality increases […]
Another horror movie out on DVD today is the festival darling The Dark. With a bit less hype than the prolific Blumhouse studio fare, The Dark is well worth a look.
