DVD Review BADLANDS (BLU-RAY)  Watching Terrence Malick's early-career classic with a young Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen never gets old, as there's always some tiny nuance to discover. Now, thanks to The Criterion Collection, the film sports a brand new 4K digital transfer, which is all the excuse I need to explore the film yet again. Read More...

Read More... PR Nova: Ultimate Mars Challenge on DVD & Blu-ray Feb 19  Why go back to Mars? Far from dead, Mars now holds untold potential. Nearly half a century of Mars exploration has yielded tantalizing clues that Mars may once have harbored life - and may harbor it still. But when a revolutionary rover named Curiosity touched down inside the Gale Crater on August 5, 2012, it could have been NASA's last chance to set wheels down on Mars until the end of the decade... Read More... DVD Review FEMME FATALES: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON  I like the premise of this sexy Cinemax anthology quasi-noir series more than I like the actual eps themselves, which is essentially attractive women taking control of various nasty situations, as well as being nude most of the time. They don't call it Skinemax for nothing. Read More... PR Ben 10: Omniverse - A New Beginning on DVD Feb 5  With an all-new look at kids' favorite alien-changing star, including an all-new Omnitrix, new aliens, a new partner and underground world filled with intergalactic life, it's Ben like you've never seen him - a little older but not always a little wiser Read More... PR American Experience: The Abolitionists on DVD Jan 22  Radicals. Agitators. Troublemakers. Liberators. Called by many names, the abolitionists tore the nation apart in order to create a more perfect union. Men and women, black and white, Northerners and Southerners, poor and wealthy, these passionate anti-slavery activists fought body and soul in the most important civil rights crusade in American history. Read More... DVD Review WEEKEND (BLU-RAY)  Weekend wisely avoids most of the traps of its genre, and is brought to life by great performances and a disarmingly naturalistic tone. Read More... PR Nature: An Original Duckumentary on Blu-ray & DVD Dec 18  They belong to a cast of characters more than 120 species strong, and they make their entrance decked out in feathers shimmering with a rainbow of iridescence. Their colorfully descriptive names are stage-ready - Buffleheads, Canvasbacks, Redheads, Pintails, Goldeneyes and Ruddies. They all play their parts, but the star of this show is the spectacular Wood Duck, whose dramatic and brightly-colored good looks would be the envy of any matinee idol. Sit back and enjoy the ride as Mr. and Mrs. Wood Duck meet, mate, and raise a family of the some of the cutest and most courageous little ducklings you're ever likely to see. Read More... PR Harland Williams: A Force of Nature on DVD & Digital Jan 15  On the fringe of genius, on the outer edge of bizarre, on the far horizon of fall-down funny, Harland Williams takes comedy to whole new frontier! On a mountaintop deep in the Mojave Desert, away from the plush safety of the typical comedy club filled with his adoring fans, Harland courageously takes on Mother Nature in a hilarious stand-up set on the world's biggest stage.

Gerald, a college administrator, and Helen, a community activist, are determined to obliterate their carbon footprint on the planet: They're zealous vegans, they drive a hybrid, and they recycle everything possible. Even the family dog, Che, is vegan. In the words of Helen, all the Goodes want to do is buy organic apples and call minorities by their politically correct names. But despite their best efforts, something always goes haywire with their plans. Read More... DVD Review SUNSET BOULEVARD  An indelible piece of pop culture. The greatest movie ever made about movies. Maybe even the greatest movie ever made, full stop. On a sweet new Blu-ray. Read More... |
