Mondo Erotico (Around the World in 80 Beds) (Goya Collection) Blu-ray Review
Jess Franco died a little over one year ago now in April of 2013, as one of the last remaining auteurs of early EuroCult cinema it was a tragic loss, but being in his mid-80’s, and having been in declining health for sometime it was hardly unexpected. If one is to find a silver lining…

Amour (Sony) Blu-ray Review
Michael Haneke’s Amour is a devastating and beautiful film from the Austrian auteur who brought us such amazing films as Benny’s Video, Cache, The Piano Teacher, and possibly most popularly Funny Games. This, is, of course, to be expected from Haneke’s films which are usually on some level equal parts disturbing, beautifully shot, and emotionally…
The Amazing Spider-Man (Sony) Blu-ray Review
Did Spider-Man really need another origin story?

All In The Family: The Complete Series (Shout! Factory) DVD Review
I was born years after all in the family went off the air. When I had started to catch episodes of the show Archie Bunker was a pop culture reference, and Sally Struthers was making attempts to help the needy in third world countries, by giving the viewing public the opportunity to help them for…
Aladdin (1992) Diamond Edition (Disney) Blu-ray Review
Disney’s The Little Mermaid was released in 1989, and began a second “Golden” era for the famed animation house. The prior 15 or so years had proven to not be the best in terms of quality for Disney, and the decade between 1989-1999 proved to be one of the studio’s finest filmmaking decades in their…
Adventure Time: The Complete Fifth Season (Cartoon Network) Blu-ray Review
When my daughter first found Adventure Time while watching Cartoon Network many moons ago, I found myself immediately drawn to the show. I immediately recognized the show as satirizing the RPG/Fantasy universe’s that I grew up playing games in and reading about. Over the years the creators of Adventure Time have proven that the show…
