Recommended THE FILM: After the monstrous success of his first Transformers trilogy, Hollywood outlaw Michael Bay parted ways with star Shia Labeouf and began a new chapter in his franchise, dialing back the explosive action and addressing the pacing and character development issues that plagued the three earlier films. Just kidding! Transformers: Age of Extinction delivers the Bay-hem in spades …
Highly Recommended The Show: The Comedy Central sketch show Key & Peele is heading into its triumphant fourth season, and so (much more quickly than they did with seasons 1 & 2 ) the cable network has put out another spotless-looking Blu-ray for the show's excellent 13-episode third season. Though the package is a little lighter on bonus features than previous releases, the main episodes are …
Rent It THE FILM: Click an image to view Blu-ray screenshot with 1080p resolution. Director Paul Haggis has struggled to repeat the success he had with ensemble drama Crash , which won the Academy Award for the best picture of 2005.
Highly Recommended The Series: While Starz released the four different storylines of their smash hit series Spartacus individually on Blu-ray and DVD over the past few years, they've now assembled all of that material into one Complete Series boxed set release. And just to drive collector types crazy, there are some exclusive extra features included in this set that aren't available on those …
Highly Recommended THE MOVIE: Please Note: The stills used here are taken from the standard-definition DVD included in the retail package, not the Blu-ray edition under review. It's wonderful how a good movie can sometimes turn a night around. I have to remind myself of that sometimes.
Highly Recommended THE FILM: Click an image to view Blu-ray screenshot with 1080p resolution. Paul Lynch's Prom Night is just one of the many slashers released in the wake of Halloween . It pales in comparison, but does feature that film's star: Jamie Lee Curtis
Recommended Gangster Nick (Simon Oakland), referring to Toby's (Elvis Presley) na vet : “Is he kidding?” Gangster Carmine (Jack Kruschen), exasperated : “I just don't know anymore.” A lesser Elvis movie that breaks away somewhat from the usual formula, Follow That Dream (1962) unwisely casts The King as a painfully stupid country bumpkin along the lines of Gomer Pyle.
Highly Recommended The Movie: Every once in a while, a random movie we pick, a movie we don't know much about besides the poster or the cover art and a brief blurb about the plot will genuinely surprise us. Just going by the Blu-Ray cover, Hal The Movie looks like one of those overly cutesy anime shows or movies I'm usually not interested in. I'm not a huge fan of anime, but I do appreciate some …
Recommended THE FILM: Click an image to view Blu-ray screenshot with 1080p resolution. Ivan Reitman steps outside his comfort zone of zany comedies to direct his best project in years, Draft Day , which explores the behind-the-scenes dealings of a fictional NFL Draft. Like Moneyball before it, Draft Day makes accessible drama of a fairly technical process.
Recommended The Movies: Despite the fact that the original solo Mothra film, which debuted in 1961, is well regarded amongst fans of Japanese giant monster movies, most know the character from her various supporting appearances in the Godzilla movies. Well, in the late nineties, Toho decided to give Mothra another solo shot and thus were born three films in the Rebirth Of Mothra trilogy
