Lilo & Stitch / Lilo & Stitch: Stitch Has A Glitch Two-Movie C...

(Chris Rebholz) 06/24/2013 3:37 PM EST
"Lilo & Stitch" was Disney's major animated release for 2002, and it was interesting enough to make a splash at Cannes. There was something intriguing about a little Hawaiian girl and a mutated alien she adopts, thinking he's a dog. Same old same old? Not remotely. Especially when you have that girl stuck on Elvis, with her pl... Read More

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone

(Chris Rebholz) 06/24/2013 8:43 AM EST
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" is a great title for a promising premise involving dueling Las Vegas magicians fighting for stage glory. Unfortunately, the feature moves beyond the basics to beef up a sense of character and fuel formulaic story arc ambitions, dropping its sense of cartwheeling absurdity to tend to a tale of spray-tanned rebir...

Burn Notice: Season Six

(Chris Rebholz) 06/21/2013 4:33 PM EST
Every season offers producers and writers chances to go new places with their characters. For season 6 of Burn Notice, that lead to some darker material than we've seen on the show before. Whether or not that decision was the right course is, as always, up to the audience to decide. Season six picks up with the aftermath of season five.&... Read More

Jack the Giant Slayer

(John Delia) 06/17/2013 9:17 AM EST
Taking special effects and sound to a new level Jack the Giant Slayer entertains with adventure and excitement. The audience for the film targets teen males to thirties and women who like action films. The movie will be released on Blu-ray in a special combo pack that includes the DVD, UltraViolet and a code for a 14 Day XBOX Life Gold ... Read More

Oz: The Great and Powerful Blu-ray Review

Oz the Great and Powerful 3D

(John Delia) 06/12/2013 11:07 AM EST
The bold, dazzling and dramatic Oz the Great and Powerful comes to 3D Blu-ray with excellent quality. Nearly critic proof, the film brought one of the largest box office returns for 2013. However, although the film is a masterpiece of cinematography and CGI, the acting and direction do have problems. The film has also been released in a Blu-r... Read More

A Good Day to Die Hard

(Roger Longenbach) 06/12/2013 10:28 AM EST
For the fifth time since 1988, Bruce Willis has strapped on the badge of John McClain, a cop who happens to have really bad luck being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This time, he travels to Russia in order to find his son, Jack (played by Jai Courtney). Apparently, Jack has been estranged from the rest of the family and finally ... Read More

Teen Wolf: Season Two

(John Delia) 06/04/2013 8:28 AM EST
One of the better series for teens that enjoy a fix of horror, Teen Wolf, has released their second season on DVD. It's darker than original film starring Michael J. Fox in 1885, and has very good acting, a good continuing story and sufficient character development. Directed at the youth audience the third season of Teen Wolf begins tod... Read More

Cleopatra

(John Delia) 05/30/2013 9:19 AM EST
One of the most spectacular films made back in the day Cleopatra comes to Blu-ray two months shy of its 50th birthday and it exudes nostalgia of yesteryears. This release has a special significance as it's the 4 hours plus version that was shown at the premiere in New York for its debut. Colorful, eventful and historical, the movie feat... Read More

Dark Skies

(John Delia) 05/28/2013 8:52 AM EST
Believable characters played by a fine cast save Dark Skies and keep it just scary enough to make it work. I am a fan of science fiction and especially those based on possibilities of being a reality, so I wasn't sure if I could be challenged with this film based on aliens. After watching Dark Skies on Blu-ray one dark night however... Read More

Beautiful Creatures

(Chris Rebholz) 05/21/2013 11:03 AM EST
So it begins (and hopefully ends) the post Twilight era of hurried box office seizures, as studios and once-respectable filmmakers willingly sell their souls to score the next, big teen-driven supernatural mega-franchise. There's an Edward and Jacob-sized hole in adolescent cinema's still-racing heart, dear readers, and whoever manages to f... Read More
