The Longest Ride

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 07/23/2015 3:15 PM EST
Anyone expecting Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook) to veer from his tried and true method of romantic story telling would be sorely disappointed with The Longest Ride. As is Sparks' M.O., once again, there are multi-generational love stories, tragedy, heartbreak, and ultimately, a happy ending. While slightly more interesting than Sparks' ... Read More

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

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

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 07/23/2015 10:54 AM EST
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 long before Magneto (Michael Fassbender; Inglourious Basterds) shoots Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence; The Hunger Games) in the leg.S...

The Strain: Season 1 - The Premium Collector’s Edition

(Nathan M Rose) 06/30/2015 4:06 PM EST
Nowadays, vampire television, films and series are a dime a dozen; but, when someone like director Guillermo del Toro puts his name on something, it causes one to pause and pay attention. Such is the case with The Strain, the new series by FX and Guillermo del Toro, based on the trilogy of books written by del Toro and Chuck Hogan.This ne... Read More

The Gunman

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 06/30/2015 9:21 AM EST
Heading to Blu-ray and DVD on June 30, 2015, The Gunman reminds us that the sins of our past will always come back to haunt us. Starring Sean Penn (Milk, Mystic River), Jasmine Trinca(Honey), and Javier Bardem (Skyfall), it is a look into the world and politics of mining in the Congo, the civil unrest that ensued and the fall out of...

Get Hard

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 06/30/2015 8:32 AM EST
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).Ferrell plays Harvard educated investment Banker James King. He has eve... Read More

So it's best that you run out to your local DVD seller and buy Teen Wolf Season 4 (just being released this week) and get caught up before the new season starts! For all those who are fans of ...

Run All Night

(Nathan M Rose) 06/16/2015 4:42 PM EST
A few months have past, which means it is time for another Liam Neeson (Taken, The Grey) action film to come out on Blu-ray/Digital HD. This time around, it is a film titled Run All Night starring Ed Harris (The Rock, The Abyss), Joel Kinnaman (Robocop,Suicide Squad), and Vincent D'Onofrio (Daredevil, Jurassic World ), directing...

McFarland, USA

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 06/10/2015 12:38 PM EST
If you've seen Lean On Me or Stand And Deliver, you've pretty much seen McFarland USA. Impoverished students succeeding against the odds; encouraged by their teacher to achieve greatness despite their surroundings. The difference here is merely the location – instead of inner-city ghettos, McFarland,... Read More

The Duff

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 06/09/2015 2:01 PM EST
Every high school movie has the usual cast of characters and The DUFF is no different. There is Madison (Bella Thorne; Shake It Up, Blended) – the popular, beautiful, mean Homecoming queen, Wesley (Rob Amell; True Jackson VP) – the star quarterback that is friends with everyone but not especially bright, and Bianca (Mae Whitman; P...

Jupiter Ascending, the latest science fiction film from the creators of The Matrix (the Wachowskis'), creates a world in which the rich are reincarnated, people are spliced with animal DNA, and human beings are processed for their life force to keep them young.Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis; Ted, Black Swan) has a boring, miserable life. ...
