The Gate

(Leonard Buccellato) 02/27/2017 2:16 PM EST
Vestron Video strikes again! Hot on the heels of Parents and Lair of the White Worm, comes the oft-overlooked but always a ton of fun, The Gate. The Gate is directed by Tibor Takács (The Gate 2, I, Madman) and stars Stephen Dorff (Blade, The Immortals) in his film debut.... Read More

Moonlight

(Jennifer Broderick) 02/27/2017 8:38 AM EST
It's rare that one gets to watch a movie about self-discovery but Lionsgate and A24 have released a movie that when you watch it, provides a profound sense of oneself and understanding of what it takes to mold a person from childhood to adulthood. Director Barry Jenkins (Medicine for Melancholy) has taken a story and transforme... Read More

Dirty Dancing 30th Anniversary Edition

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/22/2017 9:05 AM EST
Dirty Dancing can't possibly be 30 years old!! It came out the summer before my junior year of high school and I'm not that old… am I (Don't answer that question)? When I saw the Blu-ray come across my desk, I was immediately thrown back to that more innocent time in my life and reminisced about sitting in the movie theater watch... Read More

Bad Santa 2

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/21/2017 9:33 AM EST
Ahhhh... the sights, the sounds, and the smells of the Holiday Season. They bring back fond memories and induce excitement for the gift giving and receiving to come. Multicolored blinking lights and Holiday songs blaring throughout every public place you go. Guys dressed up like Santa Clause taking pictures with kids of all ages g... Read More

Hacksaw Ridge

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/20/2017 8:41 AM EST
A conscientious objector is defined as someone who, for reasons of conscience, objects to serving in the armed forces. Back in the 1940's, Desmond Doss was labelled as such even though he actually enlisted in the military. His refusal to even hold a gun, let alone shoot one, earned him the designation and a court martial hearing.&nb... Read More

Trolls

(Jennifer Broderick) 02/09/2017 2:06 PM EST
Dreamworks Animation has given us many of our favorite animated movies. The Shrek franchise, Kung Fu Panda franchise, and How to Train Your Dragon franchise are just a few of the great works coming out of this studio. In fact, there aren't many productions that Dreamworks has had th... Read More

The Passion of the Christ

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/07/2017 3:43 PM EST
Generally, movies with a religious undertone tend to be controversial and when Jesus is the main character, that controversy tends to be doubled. Such is the case with Mel Gibson's (Braveheart) 2004 film The Passion of The Christ. While it opened to modest acclaim and solid box office numbers, it definitely had its detractors. ... Read More

Almost Christmas

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/07/2017 8:51 AM EST
We can't choose our family and many times we don't get along with them. We try to avoid getting together whenever possible but during the holidays, we often head home for a few days and suffer through the family drama. Of course, Hollywood likes to play on that drama and there is always a movie coming out dealing with ... Read More

American Pastoral

(Jennifer Broderick) 02/06/2017 8:40 AM EST
The 1960s were a decade filled with turmoil, protests, war and the end of an era of the working husband, stay at home mom, and the Leave it To Beaver mentality. Lionsgate brings American novelist Philip Roth's, American Pastoral, to the big screen and with it, brings to light the turmoil that visited many families when try... Read More

The Complete First Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/06/2017 8:12 AM EST
HBO is known for its award-winning television series and movies, so when one receives a Blu-ray from them, you can usually expect great things. Gripping stories, excellent production values, terrific cast and something that you would want to watch over and over again. Sadly, Vice Principals is probably one of the lower points ... Read More
