Donnie Darko (4-Disc Limited Edition)

(Leonard Buccellato) 04/18/2017 8:46 AM EDT
This movie is not easily digestible. It demands your attention, especially during multiple viewings. It was an instant cult classic upon its release 16 years ago and it remains so to this day. And now, it finally gets the release it deserves and, of course, it comes from Arrow!The film is described by its director as "The Cat... Read More

Fate of The Furious

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 04/13/2017 9:52 AM EDT
Usually, after the third or fourth movie in a series, the plots get extremely stupid and the quality and budget go down about 80%. Heck, sometimes that happens by the sequel so it's amazing to see the eighth film in The Fast and The Furious saga come on so strong and have a good cast, great storyline and amazing stunts and...

Hidden Figures

(Jennifer Broderick) 04/12/2017 8:45 AM EDT
In a world in which being both black and a female were disadvantages, to say the least, Twentieth Century Fox shows audiences that if you have the guts to do it, nothing - including color or gender - can stop you. Based upon Margot Lee Shetterly's non-fiction novel, Hidden Figures: The Story of the African-American Women Who Hel... Read More

Silicon Valley: The Complete Third Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 04/11/2017 10:20 AM EDT
Take a bunch of "tech nerds", stir in some humor and drama, mix in some great acting, directing and casting and you end up with HBO's Silicon Valley. Heading into its Fourth Season on April 23, 2017, the award-winning show has a lot more to offer its audience in the way of plot twists and fun. Before the new season starts... Read More

Veep: The Complete Fifth Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 04/11/2017 8:44 AM EDT
Politics is serious business. So many movies and television shows detail the cutthroat world of Washington D.C., while others try to take a more lighthearted view of the realm. HBO's VEEP is the latter, poking fun at those in power and how they wheel and deal with our laws and regulations. The critically acclaimed and award-wi... Read More

War on Everyone

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 04/10/2017 4:50 PM EDT
War on Everyone can best be summed up by the title of the featured extra… "Everyone sounds off: The Quirky Cast of War on Everyone". Quirky, defined as different from the ordinary in a way that causes curiosity or suspicion, is synonymous with bizarre, crazy, curious, etc. All of which are apt descr... Read More

The Bye Bye Man

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 04/10/2017 8:52 AM EDT
Back in the 1980's, horror films were all about blood and gore and people chasing teenagers and popping out from every corner. Nowadays, they have evolved into more of psychological thrillers with characters and story lines playing with our minds. There are also more horror movies centering around "urban legends" tha...

Smurfs: The Lost Village

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 04/06/2017 9:23 AM EDT
In 2011, The Smurfs got the "live action" treatment followed by a sequel in 2013. Both starred Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) and Hank Azaria (The Simpsons). While they were hugely successful, they didn't have the same feel as the 1980's Saturday morning cartoon we all knew and loved. Luckily, Sony A... Read More
