Sing Street

(Sean Ferguson) 7/26/2016 8:57 AM EDT
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

Ghostbusters

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/14/2016 3:33 PM EDT
If you were a child of the 80's, you will undoubtedly remember the classic movie, Ghostbusters, starring Dan Aykroyd (The Blues Brothers), Bill Murray (Caddyshack), Harold Ramis (Stripes), and Ernie Hudson (The Crow). I'm not sure why Columbia pictures decided to reimagine Ghostbusters, but for some reason it did.Dr. Erin Gilbert (Kri... Read More

The Infiltrator

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 7/13/2016 11:00 AM EDT
It was the biggest drug bust in US history. A triumph for the Federal Government that took down over 100 drug smugglers in the Pablo Escobar Ring. For Robert Mazur (Bryan Cranston; Breaking Bad), it was a few years' worth of work living a double life and always being in danger. It was also bittersweet as he became friends with... Read More

The Divergent Series: Allegiant

(Nathan M Rose) 7/12/2016 12:25 PM EDT
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

The Innocents (Les Innocentes)

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/10/2016 3:35 PM EDT
As the old saying goes, "war is hell". Of course that is true of the soldiers fighting those wars but even more so for the civilians witnessing the atrocities war can bring. Everything from riots and bombs to lost limbs and life befall those not actually fighting in the war. The toll it takes on anyone unlucky enough to ... Read More

Wiener-Dog

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 7/8/2016 1:31 PM EDT
If cats have nine lives, how many reincarnations do dogs get? If Wiener-Dog is any indication, the answer is about five. Or, at least it seems that way in this case. The movie follows the travails of a dog that is passed from home-to-home and scenario-to-scenario and, as independent films go, I've seen worse.Writer/Director To... Read More

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 7/7/2016 6:25 PM EDT
Zac Efron has had an interesting career so far. He started as a fresh-faced teenager singing and dancing his way into young girls' hearts, then moved on to more serious and adult roles and now he seems to be enjoying more of the frat boy, partying comedy driven characters. So far this year, we have seen him... Read More
