Overboard

Allison Rose | Jul 30, 2018

Overboard has been updated for these times with many Hispanic characters and the roles are reversed with the man being the homemaker.

The Equalizer

Allison Rose | Jul 26, 2018

The 2160p upscaled 4K video is excellent and certainly worth the price. Details are sharp and black tones are deep and true. The tanker explosion towards the end of the film is amazing compared to the regular Blu-ray.

The Quick and the Dead

Allison Rose | Jul 25, 2018

The Quick and the Dead is an interesting viewing experience if for no other reason than to see some good performances from a talented group of actors. The video and audio quality are excellent but can’t quite make up for the slow pace throughout.

Beyond Re-Animator

Leonard Buccellato | Jul 24, 2018

It is too bad they couldn’t get more funding for another Re-Animator sequel. This is one corpse I would like to see resurrected, again, and again, and again...

Dagon

Leonard Buccellato | Jul 24, 2018

All in all, Dagon is a fun, if flawed, release. However, if you are a Stuart Gordon/ Brian Yuzna fan, you should pick this up as it contains all the gore and camp one has come to expect of the pair. "Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!"

Isle of Dogs

Allison Rose | Jul 17, 2018

Anderson has a way of telling a story that is unique and intriguing. While there isn’t really much that is new about corruption and oppression (whether it be human or canine) Anderson’s tale keeps you interesting and engaged throughout.

Mosaic

Allison Rose | Jul 11, 2018

The added element of the smartphone app gives Mosaic something unique, a different experiment of sorts.

Full Review | Grade: B

Rampage

Nathan M Rose | Jul 10, 2018

While Rampage will certainly not win any Academy Awards it is a fun ride that has sorely been lacking from the cinema lately. It is truly, in every sense, a fun, popcorn film.

Chappaquiddick

Allison Rose | Jul 09, 2018

While Chappaquiddick doesn’t give new details about the events of that night it does portray Kennedy as a complex man. On the one hand, we see the somewhat ruthless politician willing to bend rules if necessary while on the other we see the little boy inside desperate for a father’s love.

Black Lightning Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Black Lightning: The Complete First Season

Maureen Buccellato | Jul 05, 2018

Black Lightning is a wonderful addition to the DC family. The show has everything one could want from a good story and action/suspense to great family dynamics which are all wrapped up in a slick presentation that one would be mistaken to pass up.
