No Comments »HITCHCOCK (Blu-ray Review)
March 12th, 2013 Ethan Reynolds Out on Home video today, if you’re a fan of Alfred Hitchcock, this is one to check out! What’s it about? Oscar® winners Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren* are spellbinding in this provocative story about the making of one of cinema’s most iconic films. Plagued by both a reckless ego and nagging self-doubt, Hollywood legend Alfred […]
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL (Film Review)
March 8th, 2013 Steven D'Arcangelo Opening this weekend is Disney’s Oz: The Great and Powerful. Is it great? Is it powerful? For the most part yes. The part that isn’t, however, is pretty significant. You’d think that the Broadway musical Wicked would’ve already covered everything there is about the formative years of the Land of Oz, but there’s more to mine […]
Read Marquee Mama’s Review for Disney’s “Oz The Great and Powerful” (Film Review)
March 7th, 2013 Beyond the Marquee Creating the story for this movie could be the most ambitious undertaking in the film industry. Personally, I think the notion alone dwarfs the efforts of making “Titanic”! I mean, who hasn’t imagined what happened before The Wizard of Oz?

Jack The Giant Slayer, a Raging Action Flick (Film Review)
February 27th, 2013 John Delia Taking special effects and sound to a new level for a 3D film, Jack the Giant Slayer entertains with adventure and excitement. The audience for the film in my estimation targets preteen to 20’s male population. That said, the movie is critic proof with its giant size marketing budget and will certainly make a […]
