Wonder Woman 1984 to HBO Max or Summer 2021

Wonder Woman 1984 will either get an early streaming release on HBO Max or be postponed yet again until summer 2021. We all saw the writing on the wall.  Would Warner Bros. be able to stick the landing or have to postpone again?  Listen, I love the theatrical experience.  One always expects to this this kind of film on the big screen.  We are in a global pandemic.  Studios have make a big decision in…

A Sundance favorite, Save Yourselves!, is available for audiences to watch from the comfort of their home on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital. Apologies for the delay in posting this but I have been slammed with film festival coverage following the Jewish holidays.

Friendsgiving Arrives on Blu-ray, DVD

Friendsgiving, featuring a talented group of comedy stars, is now available to watch from your couch on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital. This is one of those films that generally looks good on paper.  But in terms of the film’s execution?  Not so much.  A few of the cast members here do the best with the material at hand.  However, it simply isn’t enough to elevate the film to, well, being watchable.  It would be one…

Blockbuster Tentpoles: The Streaming Conundrum

When it comes to blockbuster tentpoles, the studios are less likely to unload onto a streamer so as to preserve the theatrical experience. I can’t blame studios and filmmakers for wanting to preserve the theatrical experience.  Listen, I miss going to theaters myself but at the advice of medical experts, it’s just not going to be feasible without a vaccine.  I’ll be staying home until it’s truly safe to return.  Theaters are hurting and there’s…

Cats & Dogs 3: Paws Unite! Now on Blu-ray

Cats & Dogs 3: Paws Unite! heads home to Blu-ray just over a decade after the release of the the second sequel in the franchise. Following the second sequel, a Great Truce was made.  Cats and dogs have come together to form Furry Animals Rivalry Termination or, you guessed correctly, F.A.R.T.  Some jokes are made and yes, they’re rather juvenile but it won’t distract us from the cute and cuddly friends on the screen.  Of…
