I like Kevin Kline. He can do drama and comedy excellently in equal measure. Here he is paired against Dame Maggie Smith who is more than a match for him. Kline is Mathias, a man who has had a rough go of it, but inherited an apartment in Paris. Looking to sell, he is thwarted…
Shout Factory has recently released two Blu-ray packages featuring two movies that might be good for Valentine’s Day, but frankly they might be best for Halloween. Looking at these four films they generally fall into the broad category of “horror/comedy/romance” though that’s a pretty loose. This one features two movies that fall more into the comedy/romance…

Gerry Anderson is a name of legend. “Thunderbirds” and “Space 1999” might be his most recognizable creations, but there are a number of other fantastic series he worked on. Here we have his follow-up to “Thunderbirds” – “Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons” a fantastic series set in the future where Earth finds itself going up…
Cruella De Vil is easily one of the greatest screen villains the Walt Disney company brought to life. In many ways I could make an argument for her to be int the top 10 all-time screen villains. It is her dynamic presence that makes 101 Dalmatians such a joy to watch. Sure, there’s a fun…
As The Boxtrolls opens we are obviously in the middle of the story. Events escalate quickly before the studio titles are over. It could be easy to miss these early developments which are integral to the entire story. An exterminator strikes up a deal with the authorities to eliminate the underground menace. After eliminating all…
Included in this DVD are two hair clips featuring the supporting character’s visage. These pack-ins with the various Disney Junior DVDs are nice, but shouldn’t sway your decision to purchase. Actually, I’d rather see Disney stop putting extraneous stuff in with the DVDs and focus on putting more content on the DVDs. There. That’s out…
Scarlett Johansson is the titular character in Lucy, a woman who is pretty much a mess at the beginning of the film. She is an American (supposedly graduate) student in Taipei, Taiwan who has a boyfriend that isn’t altogether living an exactly legal lifestyle. Things go very poorly for Lucy and she is forced into…
Peter Pan has been great for Disney. The latest DVD of “Jake And The Never-Land Pirates” further ties in the animated film with this animated series. The titular episode spans a whole half-hour episode rather than being split into two different segments as most episodes are. Here we get Captain Hook tired of being made…
This is not an easy game. The Depths Of Tolagal is an old school punishing action (RPG-lite) game that isn’t so much punishing as it is unforgiving. Make the wrong decision and save in the wrong spot and you can be stuck and have to restart the game. There are not multiple save slots here….
