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.

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.

Spinning Man

Allison Rose | Jun 24, 2018

Spinning Man has the potential to be a very good film with a terrific cast and interesting concept. However, the delivery loses something as certain details leave the viewer in a murky fog.

Dirty Grandpa

Allison Rose | Jun 16, 2018

Dirty Grandpa has some funny moments and takes a twist on the traditional “road trip” film so it has that going for it but let’s face it – De Niro…enough said.

Death Wish

Nathan M Rose | Jun 15, 2018

Death Wish was shot digitally and the video transfer shines. The 1080p AVC coding is sharp with clarity and detail. Colors are a bit muted but intended to be this way.
