I'm an avid watcher of films and I just love discussing and sharing them with the world. I enjoy horror, sci-fi and mostly any genre under the sun, plus I have a slight obsession with Blu-ray's and the whole high definition craze.
Ben Lewin's The Sessions might just sound like the oddest idea for a film on paper; being about a bed-ridden man with polio that's last wish is to lose his virginity before it's too late, but the film blends together the drama and comedy quite well.
I've never been a huge fan of Tobe Hooper's original Texas Chain Saw Massacre. I appreciate everything that it has done for the horror genre at large, but I think I've only viewed it twice. I actually enjoyed the remake to an extent and the prequel even more, while not really caring for any of the original sequels. What I'm trying to say is that I'm not the biggest Texas Chainsaw franchise fan at all.
It was only a matter of time before the 80's action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger returned to the big screen. I've been longing for his return, ever since his brief popup in The Expendables and of course his disappointing performance in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. I've always been a huge fan of Schwarzenegger, having grown up the prime 90's era where his films reigned supreme.
Anchor Bay has announced the Blu-Ray release of Quentin Tarantino's latest revenge flick Django Unchained for April. The film stars Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio and Christoph Waltz.
Paul Thomas Anderson might go down as one of the most important filmmakers of all-time. His work on films such as There Will Be Blood or Magnolia has ensured him a spot on many critics best directors list and now his latest experimental character study The Master will surely go down as his most challenging film yet as he attempts to tell a troubling story about a lost Navy man who finds a glimpse of hope in a cult. The Master isn't PTA's best film, but it's clearly one that is to be commended for its performances and visuals.
Cloud Atlas is one of the most important films of this decade. There; I've said it and it can't be undone! I absolutely love the film and cannot wait to revisit it again and again on Blu-Ray. What The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer have done is created a multi-storied, multi-layered film about literally everything. Birth, death, love, past, present, future -- it goes on and on. I've gone on long-winded rants about how important the film is for far too long and now I simply cannot form words to describe it.
ony has announced Kathryn Bigelow's controversial war film depicting the hunt for Osama Bin Laden, titled Zero Dark Thirty, for Blu-Ray in March. The film stars Jessica Chastain, Joel Edgerton, Chris Pratt, Jason Clarke and Mark Strong.
Seth Rogen is a pretty bankable R-rated comedy star. Barbra Streisand can mostly get older crowds out to a theater if she's marketed correctly. Combine the two and you have something awful like The Guilt Trip.
In an odd new marketing move Lionsgate has decided to team-up with Samsung to re-release certain catalog titles on 3D Blu-Ray. One of the first to test the waters is Neveldine/Taylor's hyper-kinetic actioner Gamer, starring Gerard Butler.
The 2004 Thailand tsunami is without a doubt of the biggest disasters in recent history. One that shocked the entire world. The Impossible is director Juan Antonio Bayona's way of showing the very human side of such a natural disaster. He brilliantly captures both the terror and scale of something as big as a tsunami, while stripping the film down to its barest moments, exposing just how important family is in times like these.
