Shazam continues the fun on Blu-ray. You can not only watch the movie over and over again in high definition, but see fun scenes that didn’t make it into the film. The bonus features have the same sense of fun as the movie too. Shazam is a bright colorful superhero movie. The big red suit […]
I always like to tell the story about how, when I was first getting into horror movies, I thought I was brave enough to see Pet Sematary in the theaters. I was 11 and had seen Nightmare on Elm Street 4, Halloween 4 and Child’s Play in theaters, so I asked my mom to take […]
Every genre deserves a definitive meta deconstruction. Horror has Scream, action has Last Action Hero and now rom-coms have Isn’t It Romantic. Rebel Wilson plays a modern woman who hats romantic comedies. When she wakes up in one, hilarity ensues. Since Natalie finds herself In the ultimate romantic comedy, the Blu-Ray looks as brightly lit […]
Happy Death Day was a pleasant surprise, a Groundhog Day horror movie that really worked. The sequel Happy Death Day 2U takes it to the next level. Not only is the day repeating, but there’s a multiverse of alternate days. Happy Death Day 2U really plays with the different ways this premise can work, first […]
Liam Neeson hunting people with a snow plow? Sold! I didn’t even see the original In Order of Disappearance but I liked Cold Pursuit so much I’m likely to see it now. Neeson plays a snow plow driver in Kehoe who goes after the gangsters who killed his son. It’s got the action, but it’s […]
I waited 19 years for a sequel to Unbreakable, and I only found out I was getting one a few years ago when I saw Split. I actually liked Glass. I say actually because so many people turned on M. Night Shyamalan again after only just welcoming him back a couple movies ago. I loved […]
Bumblebee brought the Transformers series back to basics and was better for it. Getting our ‘80s on sort of harkened back to the way we experienced the Transformers as kids. What I really want to get is that Bumblebee VHS they joked about for April Fools. Hopefully it was pan and scan like it would […]
When Stallone announced that Creed II would bring back Ivan Drago, it may have seemed like it was too soon to dip back into the Rocky IV well. Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) had just established his own character. He didn’t need to fight Rocky’s old battles just yet. But it turns out we needed […]
People got really mad at me when I joked that Skyscraper was Die Hard in a building, but I meant it as a compliment. It did right by Die Hard and was Dwayne Johnson’s best solo movie. It’s also amazing how quickly it is available on Blu-ray. I had to wait nearly a year to […]
Life of the Party was a big surprise to me. I thought it would just be a mother/daughter Back to School riff, which would have been fine, but it is so much more. It’s less about the embarrassment of having your mom in college or the party animal she becomes and more about empowering soon-to-be […]
