Keyword View: aggressive DVD Review RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION (BLU-RAY 3D + BLU-RAY)  I had very low expectations for this and the experience ended up falling just about where I figured it would. But the image transfer? Flawless. Read More... DVD Review SLEEPWALK WITH ME (BLU-RAY)  Here's an under-the-radar title that doesn't try to change the world, but instead gives us a likeable, awkward lead character with sleepwalking issues struggling to salvage his romantic relationship as well as find success as a standup comic. Read More... DVD Review SAMSARA (BLU-RAY)  Filmmaker Ron Fricke has a heck of a great track record when it comes to unique films like this, so I imagine this is more of the same enthralling, gorgeous imagery that serves as a stay-at-home trip around the world. Read More... PR Premium Rush on Blu-ray & DVD Dec 21  Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies and eight million cranky pedestrians is all in a day's work for Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the best of New York's agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie - super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Read More... DVD Review CLEANSKIN (BLU-RAY)  This is the film that Sean Bean fans have been waiting for, as they finally get to see him take on the action-packed role of a British Secret Service Agent...that isn't named James Bond. Read More... DVD Review KATT WILLIAMS: KATTPACALYPSE  Kattapacalypse is pretty funny, but ultimately unsatisfying and not worthy of multiple viewings. Katt Williams is a funny dude but his material here is choppy and disjointed. He comes onto the stage like a lion abut by the end is laying down with the lambs. Read More... DVD Review SPACEBALLS (BLU-RAY)  As a sci-fi parody this uneven comedy isn't Mel Brooks' finest work, but that's not to say it is not without its pleasantly juvenile merits. Sadly, however, this anniversary packaging doesn't offer much not already presented in the 2009 BD release, making it seem somewhat pointless. Read More... PR Derek Jarman's Sebatiane & The Tempest on DVD & Blu-ray Aug 7  Derek Jarman's debut film Sebastiane is a historical drama which lays bare the latent homoeroticism that has always lurked beneath the glossy surface of Hollywood biblical epics. In Jarman's hands, The Tempest becomes an original and dazzling spectacle mixing Hollywood pastiche, high camp, and gothic horror Read More... DVD Review RED SCORPION (BLU-RAY/DVD COMBO)  Fans of late-1980s action flicks should be quite pleased with Synapse Films impressive restoration and overall treatment of Dolph Lundgren's Red Scorpion, available in a new Blu-Ray/DVD Combo pack carrying an uncensored version that can be had for less than fifteen bucks.
Read More... PR Nature: Cracking the Koala Code on DVD & Blu-ray Jul 24  The film explores the day-to-day dramas of an extended family of koalas, seen through the eyes of the scientists studying their every move and vocalization. Fascinating social dynamics include territorial displays, vicious fighting and the surprising life and loves of a 'traveling salesman,' a rogue male who truly plays the field. New science even 'cracks the koala communication code,' providing insights into their basic language and social structure. Read More... DVD Review PERFECT SENSE (BLU-RAY)  This wonderful, emotionally balanced film was criminally ignored during it's brief, extremely limited theatrical run. There's no excuse to miss it on Blu-ray though, as the leads are fantastic and the story is beyond compelling. Read More... PR Steve Niles' Remains Uncut Edition on Blu-ray Jul 10  Set in a chilling postapocalyptic Reno, Nevada, and follows the survivors of a bizarre accident that reduced most of the world's population to zombies. The group takes refuge in a vacant casino and fights a losing battle against the undead, who grow steadily stronger, smarter and more aggressive by the minute. The movie stars Grant Bowler, Lance Reddick, Miko Hughes, Evalena Marie, Tawny Cypress and Anthony Marks. Read More... PR Falling Skies: The Complete First Season on DVD & Blu-ray Jun 5  Chronicles the chaotic aftermath of an alien attack that leaves most of the world completely incapacitated. In the six months since the initial invasion, survivors band together to begin the difficult task of fighting back against the aggressive aliens. Outside of Boston, history professor Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) helps lead a small army named 2nd Massachusetts in the battle of their lives to preserve their families and what's left of humanity. Read More... PR The Aggression Scale on Blu-ray and DVD May 29  When out-on-bail mob boss Bellavance (Wise) discovers that $500,000 of his money is missing, he sends four hardcore hit men (including Ashbrook and Mears) to send a "loud and messy" message to the suspected thieves' families. But when the killers invade the Rutledge home, they'll meet the household's emotionally disturbed young son Owen (Ryan Hartwig). Owen has a history of violent behavior, knows how to make lethal booby-traps and is about to teach these thugs some deadly lessons in extreme vengeance. Fabianne Therese co-stars in the savage thriller that IndieWire called "like Home Alone with more death!" Read More... DVD Review VIETNAM IN HD (BLU-RAY)  The History Channel does these sort of productions very well, and this one is no exception. This four+ hour crash course on the war in Vietnam tells a number personal stories and includes some stunning archival footage, presented in high-definition.
Read More... DVD Review DAZED AND CONFUSED (BLU-RAY)  Richard Linklater captures the stony glee of high school life with a film conceptually intended to be an American Graffiti for the 1970s, and now it is reborn on Blu-Ray from Criterion. Spread across one day, Dazed and Confused sports a large ensemble cast and one hell of a bitchin' soundtrack. Read More... PR The Education Of Dee Dee Ricks Debuts on HBO Oct 27  A self-made millionaire living on New York City's Upper East Side, 39-year-old Dee Dee Ricks seemed to have it all – until she was diagnosed with aggressive stage II breast cancer. Insured and affluent, she could afford the best treatment money could buy, but was shocked to realize how difficult it is for uninsured women in the same situation, and determined to do something about it. This moving film by award-winning newswoman Perri Peltz debuts Thursday, Oct. 27. Read More... DVD Review SUPER (BLU-RAY)  It may seem that the superhero parody genre is pretty one-note and tired, but Troma vet James Gunn seems very comfortable in that area, having also written the completely underrated The Specials. As writer/director Gunn unleashes Super - with Rainn Wilson as a wannabe crimefighter - a weirdly addictive mix of humor, violence and drama with a terrific cast that is just perverse and left-of-center enough that it deserves to become a veritable cult classic.
