Criminal, the thriller film starring Kevin Costner and Ryan Reynolds, is out on shelves this week on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD.The film, which also stars Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Oldman, and Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman) seems like it should be amazing given the cast.

Hardcore Henry

Back in 2013, director Ilya Naishuller made a short first person music video entitled Biting Elbows: Bad Motherf*cker. The kinetic energy surrounding the video and story caught the attention of film director and producer Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted). With the help of Bekmambetov, as well as an IndieGoGo campaign, the financing was in plac... Read More

I Am Wrath

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/26/2016 11:59 AM EDT
Oh how the mighty have fallen. In the late 1970's, we fell in love with John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever and Grease. Then, we saw his resurgence in 1994 with Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. Since then, he has had some hits and some misses in the movie business, and unfortunately, his latest I am W... Read More

Sing Street

While 2016 brought us "Captain America: Civil War", "Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice", "X-men Apocalypse", and many other films with a semicolon in its title, there were a few surprises tucked in between and one of those films is being released on Bluray, DVD and Digital Download by The Weinstein Company this week....

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

(Nathan M Rose) 7/19/2016 9:04 AM EDT
In my opinion, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is one of the most underrated movies of the year so far. It had everything an adult action film should have. It was fast paced, full of explosions, had a real plot and great CGI. I can't understand why it received such bad reviews when it ran in theaters, but I for on... Read More

Allegiant

Anytime there is a popular book series these days, it is a given it will be made into feature films; and Veronica Roth's Divergent books are no exception. Allegiant is the third film in the Divergent franchise, and it makes its way into stores on 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD on July 12, 2016.In the film, we see Tris (Shailene Wo... Read More

Green Room

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/11/2016 10:24 PM EDT
There is something very cliché about waking up in your van with your band mates in a cornfield in the middle of nowhere. Even more cliché is when you have to syphon gas from a car to get to your next gig. This could be the beginning of a lot of great rock drama movies; but in this case, it is the opening of the new suspens... Read More

Eddie the Eagle

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 7/11/2016 8:03 PM EDT
It's a bird, it's a plane, It's Super… oh, wait, no it's not. It's simply a British Ski Jumper who came in last at the 1988 Olympic games and stole the world's heart. Based on a true story, Eddie the Eagle teaches us to dream big, persevere, and to view life through "rose-colo... Read More

Kung Fu Panda 3

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/6/2016 11:27 AM EDT
What could be better than an animated, Kung Fu fighting, Warrior Dragon Panda Bear? Tons of adorable, dumpling eating, noodle slurping, roly-poly baby pandas! DreamWorks animation has stepped up their cuteness factor for the third installment in the franchise, Kung Fu Panda 3 (Awesome Edition), out now on Blu-ray and DVD.Back are all th... Read More
