Tomorrowland

Nathan M Rose | Oct 12, 2015

Tomorrowland has an upbeat message about society and is more in line of the type of film Walt Disney would have approved his company making.

Poltergeist

Nathan M Rose | Oct 11, 2015

Alas, Poltergeist ultimately fails at recreating the sheer terror and excitement of the original film and is just more cannon fodder in the “why are we making remakes” mindset.

The Leftovers Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

The Leftovers: The Complete First Season

Sean Ferguson | Oct 08, 2015

I give "The Leftovers: Season 1" three out of five sharpie markers! It was four but you know how fast those markers dry out! The storylines are deep, and while sometimes PAINSTAKINGLY slow at pace, you’ll be compelled to come back for more, and maybe take up wearing white.

Pan

Paul Kates | Oct 08, 2015

Geared for pre-teens, Pan should be fairly well received by those it is aimed at. Others may walk away feeling a little bit deflated.

iZombie: The Complete First Season

Nathan M Rose | Oct 07, 2015

While season one of iZombie was hampered with a short show run, season two of the show should hopefully get a few more episodes in, and from what I have seen so far of the show, it's running legs are very long.

Rocky Horror Picture Show: 40th Anniversary

Allison Rose | Oct 05, 2015

If you are a fan of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and all it represents, you will want to get this Blu-ray and watch it with a group of friends, plenty of wine and props to carefully throw at your TV screen.

Jane the Virgin Physical Media: DVD Review

Jane the Virgin: The Complete First Season

Allison Rose | Oct 05, 2015

Jane The Virgin is getting a lot of praise and accolades, but, I, for one, simply don’t get all the hype.

The Last Man on Earth Physical Media: DVD Review

The Last Man on Earth: The Complete First Season

Maureen Buccellato | Oct 03, 2015

One thing that is refreshing about the series is that this post-apocalyptic world doesn’t have zombies, vampires or aliens that have come to conquer the Earth unlike so many of the feature films being produced these days.

Full Review | Grade: B

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Allison Rose | Oct 02, 2015

Sadly Avengers: Age of Ultron doesn’t live up to the original film, but for Marvel fans it is a solid effort with some good action sequences. Watching it in Digital HD is a treat and I recommend it for any Avengers fan.

The Martian

Paul Kates | Oct 01, 2015

The bottom line is The Martian is a hugely entertaining movie and although it has a running time of 141 minutes it really does not seem that long when you are immersed in it.
