(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/3/2015 4:40 PM EDT Never judge a book by its cover. That is one of the lessons of The Casual Vacancy, the J.K Rowling book adaptation that was a three hour miniseries on BBC and HBO. Lesson two – our actions affect those around us, so be careful of what you say and do because it can have unintended consequences.=Pagford seems like a quaint, idyl... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 7/28/2015 9:55 AM EDT Coming to Blu-ray/DVD this week is a reimagining of sorts of the Justice League we all know and love in the full-length feature film, Justice League: Gods and Monsters. Imagine if you will, a world where there is a Superman, but no Clark Kent, a Batman, but no Bruce Wayne, A Wonder Woman, but no Princess Diana. These are some of the changes t... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/27/2015 4:15 PM EDT I know the saying is "third time's a charm", but, for Fox Searchlight, it seems to be the second go around is charming, or at least just as charming, as the first. The surprise hit of 2012 is back, along with the entire cast, for The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Starring some of Britain's most talented ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/23/2015 3:15 PM EDT 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 |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/23/2015 10:54 AM EDT 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...

(Nathan M Rose) 6/30/2015 4:06 PM EDT 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 |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/30/2015 9:21 AM EDT 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...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/30/2015 8:32 AM EDT 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 |
(Sean Ferguson) 6/22/2015 11:49 AM EDT MTV will kick off season five of their hit series Teen Wolf with a two part series kick off, part one airing on June 29th and part two on June 30th. 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 ...

(Nathan M Rose) 6/16/2015 4:42 PM EDT 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...
