(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/26/2014 11:13 PM EDT If you're looking for a bit of nostalgia, the 1971 Disney Classic "Bedknobs and broomsticks" has been released on Blu-ray and DVD. This extended version restores 20 plus minutes of footage, which was not seen originally in theaters. Blending live action, animation and musical numbers, Bedknobs is another example of the family ... Read More |
(Maureen Buccellato) 8/20/2014 8:38 PM EDT Revolution, created by Eric Kripke (Supernatural), comes back for a second and final season on Blu-ray to the delight to fans of the now canceled show. While the series started off fairly slowly, it picked up part way through and the second season continued this momentum.Beginning the series six months after season one concluded, we fin...

(Judith Raymer) 8/14/2014 2:38 PM EDT The night the lights went out on…Lincoln Road. A power outage affected the entire block. In the theatre, The Expendables 3 continued to play. Like the proverbial cockroach. Except for the sound. The sound had cut out, and the crowd agreed that the film had just improved ten-fold. Should Stallone be bored e... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/12/2014 9:07 AM EDT Muppets Most Wanted is anything but. Like so many movie sequels it doesn't come close to the original, or in this case, the first movie in the most recent reboot of the Muppets. Watching the Muppet show growing up was always fun and I am inclined to love almost anything Muppets but this sequel just wasn't good. I kept looking for ... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 8/7/2014 11:07 AM EDT For years various studios and companies have been trying to find a way to get the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtle property back on the big screen, and this August it will be finally accomplished by Platinum Dunes, Nickelodeon, and Paramount.The premise is simple – Four turtles and a rat come into contact with a mutagen agent that transforms then ...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/6/2014 9:41 AM EDT If you are a designer car buff and a car racing enthusiast then "Need For Speed" is a movie you definitely want to see. From fast, exotic cars to beautiful scenery from all over the United States the movie won't disappoint the avid Nascar, muscle car and street racing fan. However, if you don't like all those things you ... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 8/5/2014 2:56 PM EDT I always find it interesting when a film comes out "Starring" someone and the supporting actor or actress steals the thunder away from the main star. And so it goes with Twentieth Century Fox's release of "The Other Woman" starring Cameron Diaz being released to BluRay & DVD this week! In all honesty, it should be "Star... Read More |
 
(Judith Raymer) 7/31/2014 9:56 AM EDT Marvel Studios does it again! Cliche? Yes, and yes. About that...We begin by meeting Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) as a young boy (not) coping with his mother's death, and abducted by an alien ship. Rather than deliver him (to whom, we have yet to discover…his extraterrestrial father, Jason, or one of his foes, perhaps)... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/31/2014 9:45 AM EDT Get on Up: the James Brown Story" combines drama, heart and great music to tell the fascinating life story of the Godfather of Soul. Chadwick Boseman (Draft Day) Plays the lead and Nelsan Ellis (True Blood) plays Brown's best friend Bobby Bird. Dan Aykroyd (Ghoptbusters, The Blues Brothers) portrays Brown's long time manager ...

(Paul Kates) 7/30/2014 11:05 AM EDT One of Ancient Greece's most popular myths is turned on its head with Brett Ratner's telling of Hercules. In Ratner's account, the son of Zeus is no more than a leader of a band of cut-throat mercenaries, working their way through life, until they each have enough gold to retire into a life they all desire.Once the predictable narrative that seems ...
