The Green Inferno

(Leonard Buccellato) 1/5/2016 3:22 PM EST
The Green Inferno, the latest film by Eli Roth (Hostel), was clearly inspired by Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust. It is also clear that Roth owes a debt of gratitude to the Italian filmmaker, since he was the king of low-budget gore. Deodato's film was banned in many countries, and most people at the time were uncertain of the origin o... Read More

X-Files: The Collector's Set

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/4/2016 11:45 AM EST
Whether or not you watched The X-Files from 1993- 2002, you would have had to been living under a rock to not know the names Scully and Mulder. The characters, the actors who played them, and even the theme song for the television series, were widely known and easily identifiable. For nine seasons, these FBI agents invest... Read More

Whether or not you have seen one of the many versions of the classic story, everyone has heard the tale of Peter Pan. Peter is a young boy who lives in Never Never Land, and flies all over the world looking for "lost boys who, like himself, don't want to ever grow up. He has a fairy named Tinker Bell for a friend and his archen... Read More

Ted 2

(Nathan M Rose) 12/15/2015 9:51 AM EST
A couple of years ago, a foul mouthed teddy bear named Ted took the box office by storm, and, in true Hollywood fashion, a sequel was greenlit before the movie hit home release. While the first film was just exploring the world of Ted and his best friend, John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg; Transformers: Age of Extinction), ... Read More

The Minions

(Nathan M Rose) 12/7/2015 11:24 AM EST
If you are a fan of Despicable Me 1 or 2, then you are already familiar with the yellow, super cute guys called Minions. So, what are these little creatures? How did Gru end up with them? How long have they been on this planet? To answer these questions and more, Universal pictures and Illuminati teamed up this year to give them their ow... Read More

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Blu-ray Review

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Extended UK Edition

(Paul Kates) 11/23/2015 10:52 AM EST
It seemed almost inevitable that after his huge Lord of the Rings trilogy, Peter Jackson would turn his attention to JRR Tolkien's other well-known middle earth novel "The Hobbit". What was surprising was that the adaption of this novel would also be a trilogy. Personally, I had reservations, and after seeing the first movie on the bi... Read More

Back to the Future 30th Anniversary Trilogy

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/17/2015 2:17 PM EST
2015 seems to be the year of Back To The Future, which appeared to hit it's frenzied peak at the end of October. From documentaries about the films to movie marathons in theaters across the country, the franchise has seen a resurgence in popularity. Cashing in on the frenzy, specialty items from Pepsi and USA today sold out in ... Read More

Man From U.N.C.L.E.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/17/2015 9:26 AM EST
I wasn't alive when the popular television show The Man From U.N.C.L.E. aired so I have no basis of comparison with the 2015 movie. However, Warner Bros. decided it was time to make a full-length feature film that, I can only imagine, pays homage to the series. If nothing else, it is a fun look at the spy game from years ago reminis... Read More
