Shanghai Noon (4/5) Princess Pei Pei (Lucy Liu) has been kidnapped from the Forbidden City and is being held hostage by an unknown individual in Carson City. In order to bring back the princess, Chon Wang (Jackie Chan) is sent to America to deliver the Emperor’s gold to pay the ransom and...

Jack Reacher looks and sounds terrific in its home release. Sometimes a film can become an unfortunate victim of circumstance.  Considering the violent and mind-numbing December 2012 we endured with Sandyhook, one might have been willing to write-off Tom Cruise’s Jack Reacher as a poorly-timed...

Mama is the kind of film that could go either way.  On the one hand, it is a PG-13 horror film released in January, the dumping ground for most films released wide at that time.  On the other hand, it has the spirit of an old-school horror film, with Guillermo Del Toro’s name attached as a...

Friends: The Complete Second Season is terrific, but the Blu-ray is not. If you’ve read our Season One review, you know just how disappointed but willing to give a pass in certain critical areas.  As we delve into Season Two, it’s clear that NBC simply re-packaged the discs from the box...

Not that I feel I have to justify this but I thought I would start this review just as I did with my Expendables 2 review, by saying that I am a life long fan of Arnie and have been waiting for this film for ten years! So my opinions are that of my own and may not necessarily reflect those of others. Sheriff...

“I was sprung from my mother with sword in hand. The ways of battle are second nature, passed down from father to son.” Gaius Claudius Glaber is dead. Many months have passed since his defeat, and the rebel army, led by Spartacus and his generals Crixus, Gannicus and Agron, continue to...

Pawn is loaded with familiar names and actors that have taken on a different angle on characters we’ve grown used to seeing. Stephen Lang appears in the background as the proprietor of a local diner. He is affected with a limp and has trouble getting around – which is quite the difference...

…it’s exactly what is expected of a comedy movie. Malcolm is a happy homeowner who’s started a hobby of recording everything with his brand new camcorder. He has his Latina maid, Rosa, and he’s just asked his girlfriend Kisha to move into his house. Unfortunately, there is a bad start...

Friends returns for individual season sale, having learned no quality-control lessons from its previous release. In the world of memorable comedic television, most people would place Friends at or near their top spot.  That’s not to say I would – was and always will be a Seinfeld fan...

Panic in the Streets offers very good audio and video in this underrated release. To study the resume of Director Elia Kazan is like taking a moment to relive some of the best films of the 1950′s.  From East of Eden, On the Waterfront, and A Streetcar Named Desire, there were few directors...

One Night with the King isn’t the story of a woman’s sexcapades with Elvis Presley. Unfortunately, it’s a bland, poorly-made film about biblical babe Esther – the Jewish girl who hooks up with Persian King Xerxes to become queen and prevent the slaughter of the Jews. Whether you are religious...

The movie opens with the wise Fahai (Jet Li) and his young deciple, Neng Ren (Zhang Wen) who find themselves in a vast world of snow and ice after walking through a magical gate. They are monks who are also hunters that cleanse the world from demons. These demons can take the shape of animals both...

The Bible is a 10-hour mini series originally aired on the History Channel. The show is 10 episodes long and it provides another interpretation of the Bible in the most spectacular way. The Bible miniseries covers the most emblematic figures of its history and the most important stories from its pages....

George A Romero’s Knightriders depicts a troupe of travelling medieval entertainers who instead of riding flesh and bone, the trusty steeds are made of steel and engine! Led by Ed Harris, they are trying to live their lives according to the ideals of King Arthur which is no easy feat in Reagan’s...

The should-have-been Oscar winner Lincoln arrives onto Blu-ray with stunning picture and audio. As a middle school history teacher, I am constantly amazed by the sometimes piercing interest my students demonstrate over The American Civil War; perhaps it’s their amazement that 620,000 Americans...
