13 Assassins Blu-Ray Review
From acclaimed Japanese director Takashi Miike comes the marvelously-constructed period piece 13 Assassins. You may know Miiki from his other, stranger films such as Audition or Ichi the Killer, but here, he leaves that all beh...
Hobo With A Shotgun Blu-ray Review
By now, the story of Jason Eisener’s Hobo with a Shotgun has taken on an almost mythic air. As a youth, the Halifax-based filmmaker chewed through rented tapes like a faulty VCR, fuelled by a voracious appetite for horror and...
Sucker Punch Blu-Ray Review
Sucker Punch is a film that has been called a number of things. Everything from misunderstood and brilliant to complete garbage and 2011's worst film. Ultimately, it was a box office failure and it didn't fare much better with ...
Rango Blu-Ray Review
Ever since I was introduced to animation in high definition with the 2007 Blu-ray release of Ratatouille I have been certainly been hooked. Disney, Pixar, and Dreamworks have had a monopoly on animation for the last four years ...
Unknown Blu-Ray Review

The Warrior’s Way, written and directed by Sngmoo Lee, is a mixture of a Chinese fantasy, Seven Samurai, a western, an action film and a cartoon. It’s an odd film that doesn’t always work so well. It blends a number of ge...
Sanctum Blu-Ray Review
Sanctum is an adventure thriller set in an unexplored cave system, most of which is submerged. It starts off fun enough, with a slow burn tension and plenty of amazing visuals, but very soon drowns in predictability and cliché...
Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules Blu-Ray Review
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules is the silly sequel to 2010 Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and suffers not only from most of the faults of the original, but some of its very own. Based on Jeff Kinney’s popular comic-bookish childr...
Cedar Rapids Blu-Ray Review
Cedar Rapids, the new comedy directed by Miguel Arteta and starring Ed Helms, turns out to be an endearing and humorous fish-out-of-water story. I already reviewed the film when I saw its theatrical release back in February, an...
Another Year Blu-Ray Review
I had never seen any of Mike Leigh's films before, but someone suggested that I should see Another Year so I figured there was no harm in giving it a rental. The film comes off as a rather interesting character study of several...
