3:10 to Yuma
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/1/2017 10:09 AM EST There is nothing quite like a good old-fashioned western and when done right, it can be entertaining and enjoyable. From the outlaws to the lawmen, and the gunfights that take over a small town, they are a part of movie history that continues to this day. Ten years ago, Lionsgate decided to add to the Western movie collection ... Read More |
Animal Kingdom: The Complete First Season
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/27/2017 4:00 PM EST Every family is dysfunctional in some way or another, but the Cody clan takes that idea to new heights. As the core of the TNT drama Animal Kingdom, based on the critically acclaimed Australian film of the same name, they are as "white trash" as they come. Drugs, partying and a successful robbery business makes up their core b... Read More |
Girl With All The Gifts
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/25/2017 8:44 AM EST Everything's coming up zombies right now and zombie movies are a hot commodity. We've seen it countless times now, where an epidemic sweeps the world and people turn into soulless, brain-eating creatures terrorizing those that are still human. While The Girl With All the Gifts encompasses some of those ideas, there is so much more going on wi... Read More |
The Founder
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/25/2017 8:17 AM EST McDonald's and its trademark "Golden Arches" are known worldwide for serving hot food quickly. In any restaurant you walk into, you will see a sign proclaiming Ray Kroc as its founder. While not truly incorrect, that statement doesn't reveal the whole story surrounding the multimillion dollar corporation. Ray Kroc may ha... Read More |
Underworld: Blood Wars
![]() (Nathan M Rose) 4/24/2017 4:32 PM EST In 2003, a relatively unknown actress, Kate Beckinsale (Pearl Harbor), along with director Len Wiseman (Total Recall), created a new gothic/steampunk/action/sci-fi franchise entitled Underworld. Since then, we have been treated to various adventures in a world dominated by Vampires and Lycans and now, in 2017, Sony Pictures and Screen Gems have unl... Read More |
Split
![]() (Jennifer Broderick) 4/21/2017 10:54 AM EST Since 1999 M. Night Shyamalan has given us some really thought provoking and plot-twisting films, and, this week, his latest film, Split, is available on Blu-ray. Split follows the story of Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy; X-Men: Apocalypse), who suffers from dissociative identity disorder, or multiple personality disorder, and has 24 separa... Read More |
Sand Castle
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/20/2017 2:19 PM EST There are any number of films about War- the blood and guts and bombs and bullets. They make soldiers into heroes and typically glorify the horror and bloodshed in an attempt to get the audience to "root" for the good guys. Sand Castle is not that type of film. It shows a much more human side of lif... Read More |
The Lost City of Z
![]() (Judith Raymer) 4/20/2017 11:20 AM EST Being wonderfully unspectacular (in the Hollywood sense) is precisely what makes this film unassumingly spectacular. Missing are the elaborate sets and city populations worth of extras. In their stead, indigenous tribespeople from the Colombian jungles where the film was shot was included for authenticity. Lacking are the costumes... Read More |
Donnie Darko (4-Disc Limited Edition)
![]() (Leonard Buccellato) 4/18/2017 8:46 AM EST This movie is not easily digestible. It demands your attention, especially during multiple viewings. It was an instant cult classic upon its release 16 years ago and it remains so to this day. And now, it finally gets the release it deserves and, of course, it comes from Arrow!The film is described by its director as "The Cat... Read More |
Fate of The Furious
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/13/2017 9:52 AM EST Usually, after the third or fourth movie in a series, the plots get extremely stupid and the quality and budget go down about 80%. Heck, sometimes that happens by the sequel so it's amazing to see the eighth film in The Fast and The Furious saga come on so strong and have a good cast, great storyline and amazing stunts and...
