101 Dalmatians (Blu-ray Combo Review)

  Entering the Blu-ray home video market after appearing on the screen in 1961, the animated feature 101 Dalmatians has been released from the Disney vault as a Diamond Edition. This is the original film by Walt Disney that entertained kids for years. Nicely remastered with 7.1 DTS-HDMA sound the film has a good look […]

MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER: Time and Tide (television mini-series critique)

My previous reviews of Agent Carter have praised Hayley Atwell’s performance as Carter and she deserves it, but so too do her fellow thespians. I’ll get to Dominic Cooper and James D’Arcy in future critiques. Up first though is Peggy’s quartet of male co-workers at the Strategic Scientific Reserve. (S.S.R.)

TIMBUKTU Poster

“TIMBUKTU” (Foreign Film Review & Trailer)

  The movie opens with a young gazelle running in the sand dunes of Timbuktu. Chasing the beautiful docile animal in a pickup truck are members of the Jihadists shooting their rifles in its direction. “Do not shoot the animal, we just want to tire it out” says their leader. It’s an act of domination […]

SEVENTH SON POSTER

“SEVENTH SON” (Film Review)

The motion picture plays well from tweens to gamers in their mid-twenties bringing a lot of action filled adventure for a Saturday matinee. Think The Sorcerer’s Apprentice with a sharper edge, but if you saw that film you may want […]

MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER: Bridge and Tunnel (television mini-series critique)

A.B.C. and Marvel are making a smart, unique move right now. They’ve cut Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s sophomore season into two halves, ending the first on a great cliffhanger that makes us hate (in a good way) that we have to wait until March for the second half. In the meantime, we get to see the […]

MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER: Now is Not the End (television mini-series critique)

I’ve always loved Hollywood’s rendition of World War II. Don’t get me wrong, Saving Private Ryan and Flags of our Father are great, important films and I totally get that war is hell, but when I need a break from true history, I enjoy the romanticized version. The Great Escape. The Dirty Dozen. Indiana Jones […]
