Time is a thief” utters Alice Through the Looking Glass’s star Mia Wasikowska. In some kind of weird self-aware pronouncement, she reminds us that somehow it’s been six years since Burton’s motley crew of Lewis Carroll-inspired characters convened for their epic ...
Arriving for the first time on blu-ray, Alex Haley’s Roots is sure to capture the attention of those who originally watched the 8-episode narrative. It’s hard for me to see that this release has much of a life outside of that circle. It is quickly being replaced with The History ...
Fascinating. Truly fascinating. The behind the scenes story of Tim Burton’s take on Superman is a thrilling and wondrous rollercoaster ride of emotional ups and downs. It is as profound disappointment that all we have of the production are a handful of items, a couple ...
I literally have tears in my eyes as I write this. The new 4K scan with HDR grading of the director’s cut of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is a thing of beauty. The space battle sequences inside the Mutara Nebula in this transfer are an absolute delight as the color grading ...
It was only a matter of time before Dory got her own picture. Granted, no one could have imagined it would take Pixar 13 years, but we’re finally going back to Nemo’s reef to pay another visit to the forgetful blue tang and her finned, scaled, feathered, and tentacled ...

Director Steven Spielberg is no stranger to the fantastical realms that collide in his faithful adaptation of Roald Dahl’s 1982 children’s classic book. For many people like myself, Spielberg’s films were the main courses of our cinematic outings growing up. His filmography ...
There are few other visual effects artists that I know of who continually inspire filmmakers as significant to the medium than that of special effects guru Ray Harryhausen. His name alone conjures up images of giants, sword-fighting skeletons, monsters, and, hell, Medusa ...
Kate McKinnon. Kate McKinnon. Kate McKinnon. There’s no denying that her comedic chops are on full display throughout the much-ballyhooed all-female reboot of 1984’s Ghostbusters. IF everything else about Pail Feig’s effects-driven spectacle failed, the absolute magic ...
Watching Everybody Wants Some!! is like putting on a pair of your favorite shoes. Everything fits. Every inch is perfect; every stitch broke in. And, damn it, these Chuck Taylors keep you moving AND grooving. Written and directed by Richard Linklater, his spin on the ...
Star Trek Beyond is a bold move. It is also a risky one, too. Thankfully, it gives fans EXACTLY what they want. We are finally in deep space and, finally, free of Earth-based adventures. With its strongest female character yet being introduced here, Beyond is the ...
My mother was wrong. There WAS something hellish that lived in the pitch-black corners and darkened recesses of my childhood bedroom. And I always knew that the crawl space under my bed was the shadowy central hub of all that evil activity. I knew it to be, but I was ...
In David Mackenzie’s new film, Hell or High Water, the sprawling West Texas setting – as beautiful as it is rugged – conceals the crushing desolation of its sun-bleached towns whose futures have long since shriveled in the Texas heat. Hard-pressed ranchers, abandoned ...
