X-Men: Days of Future Past Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

X-Men: Days of Future Past (The Rogue Cut)

Jul 23, 2015

I have a great idea for a new drinking game. Every time you spot a difference from the original X-Men: Days of Future Past to the new Rogue cut, take a shot! With 30 more minutes of footage you will surely be drunk!

Ant-Man

Jul 17, 2015

I am curious to see how Lang/ANT-MAN merges with Captain America and the Avengers and it seems I won’t have to wait long as the ending credits set it up perfectly for him to make an appearance in Captain America: Civil War in 2016.

Trainwreck

Jul 17, 2015

While Trainwreck wasn’t my favorite film, you could find a worse way to spend your time and money. For the majority of moviegoers, it will be a great, funny film that you will probably be talking about with your coworkers.

Get Hard

Jun 30, 2015

I don’t think Will Ferrell (Elf, Anchorman) is funny. Yes, I said it…he isn’t funny. I know I’m opening myself up for lots of hate mail with that statement but in my defense I give you exhibit A – Get Hard (coming to Blu-ray and DVD June 30, 2015).

Inside Out

Jun 16, 2015

The voices in your head are real! They are cute, colorful, and wreak havoc with your emotions. At least that is what Disney and Pixar would like you to believe.

If you want to watch fiction based on truth, and have a few hours, I suggest sitting down with some popcorn and giving McFarland a go.

The Duff

Jun 09, 2015

While The Duff will never be as iconic as Clueless, Mean Girls, or The Breakfast Club, it is a solid effort into the continuing genre of high school angst films.
