THE WEST WING (COMPLETE SERIES) (BLU-RAY REVIEW)

October 10th, 2024 by Adam Toroni-Byrne



Aaron Sorkin struck lightning in a bottle when he created the beloved series The
West Wing. Fast paced, bitingly funny and surprisingly touching, the show was a
universal hit for its seven seasons.  A few ebbs and flows in the seasons after
Sorkin left, the show still stood strong until its end in 2006. Now celebrating
25 years, the show has its complete series on Blu-ray! Read more below and don’t
forget to click the cover art at the end to order your own copy of the set!

FRIENDS: THE COMPLETE SERIES (4K UHD BLU-RAY REVIEW)

October 9th, 2024 by Brian White

Friends is a television show that needs no introduction, but since this is a
review I am under an obligation to do so.  Here goes nothing.  Let me clear my
throat err I mean flex my ever aging typing fingers.  Friends aired for 10
seasons between September 22, 1994 to May 6, 2004 and yielded a whopping 236
broadcasted episodes.  Friends is often noted as a timeless sitcom, but in all
honesty it would probably be blasted in today’s culture for its lack of
diversity.  However, I digress as that’s a road I don’t even want to go down
here.  So let’s just stick to the facts.  And here they are…okay they are all
down below.  Follow me down there. Continue reading ‘Friends: The Complete

KINDS OF KINDNESS (BLU-RAY REVIEW)

October 9th, 2024 by Aaron Neuwirth

The general sense of weirdness that persists in Yorgos Lanthimos’ films
certainly keeps me going, but it’s understandably not for everyone. Kinds of
Kindness may be the “one for me” film the director gets to make on a smaller
scale, compared to the just-as-odd but more accessible comic fantasy epic, Poor
Things, but it continues to show how much the director has evolved. With this
anthology film, Lanthimos is entirely in control of how he can deliver the dark
delights presented in this movie. It may not have been much of a breakout
arthouse film, but it’s got plenty going for it. Now, the film has an HD home
release, which may or may not feel like a dare for some to check out.

LONGLEGS (4K UHD BLU-RAY REVIEW)

October 7th, 2024 by Aaron Neuwirth

It gets tiring to say it’s been a good year for horror when the statement holds
true for many years in a row. This year has offered a variety of solid chilling
movies, from remakes to originals, but there were few films I was more excited
for in this genre than Longlegs. With a director I’ve been a fan of, a premise
that seems familiar but rewarding in its own right, and the mystery box that was
Nicolas Cage’s presence in this film, I was geared up for something unique. The
serial killer thriller not only delivered but also intrigued audiences. This
past summer, the film was a surprise hit at the box office, grossing over $100,
becoming Neon’s biggest film in the process. Now it’s available on 4K UHD
Blu-ray, so many can keep following the clues at home.

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (40TH ANNIVERSARY 4K UHD BLU-RAY REVIEW)

October 7th, 2024 by Adam Toroni-Byrne

40 Years is just a trip to even say when I think of A Nightmare On Elm Street. 
The film was a source of fear for me as a child and even now fully wears its
icon status proudly. One of a select few horror films to be in the Library of
Congress and rightly so, we are now receiving a 40th Anniversary 4K edition of
the classic film! Relive the nightmares with me below, and a special link to a
legacy review of the 2010 Blu-ray too, and don’t forget to click the cover art

HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON (BLU-RAY REVIEW)

October 7th, 2024 by Adam Toroni-Byrne

One of the biggest head scratchers in cinema this year was the reimagining of
Harold and the Purple Crayon. One of the most beloved children’s books ever, the
film realizes Harold’s world as an adult.  Does this bode well for the book
series reaching new generations or does the new adaptation fall flat? Read more

cover art at the end is clickable, and sends you off to buy your own copy of the

A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE (4K UHD BLU-RAY REVIEW)

October 5th, 2024 by Adam Toroni-Byrne

A Quiet Place: Day One is the much-anticipated prequel to the critically
acclaimed A Quiet Place series. Directed by Michael Sarnoski, it revisits the
terrifying early days of the alien invasion, offering a raw, more immediate look
at humanity’s struggle for survival. The film effectively preserves the tension
and dread that defined its predecessors, although its broader focus and
origin-story elements sometimes detract from the intimacy that made the original
so compelling. Read more about A Quiet Place: Day One inside the review and
don’t forget, clicking the cover art at the end is your way to order your own
copy of the film!

40’S CLASSIC THE TALK OF THE TOWN – ON 4K DECEMBER 3RD!

October 3rd, 2024 by Adam Toroni-Byrne

Nora (Jean Arthur) is trying to figure out what to do about Leopold Dilg (Cary
Grant), who’s landed on her doorstep looking for a safe place to hide after
escaping from jail, when her summer tenant, stuffy lawyer Michael Lightcap
(Ronald Coleman) arrives early to take up residence. Believing Leopold to be
innocent, she stashes the wounded Dilg in the attic. Keeping Leopold hidden
becomes impossible but Nora and Leopold set about to win Michael’s sympathy to
Dilg’s legal plight without revealing his identity. Constant, ridiculous and
comic mix-ups and mishaps threaten to destroy the trio’s friendship and
potentially lead to Leopold facing a hostile mob for a crime he didn’t
commit. George Stevens deftly explores corrupt small-town politics and the
individual’s responsibility to society while fueling a fast-paced romantic
comedy with lightness and charm.
