Collateral: Michael Mann Thriller Arrives on 4K UHD

Collateral, Michael Mann’s intense Los Angeles-set noir thriller starring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx, is now available to watch on 4K Ultra HD. In one corner, we have contract killer Vincent (Tom Cruise).  Over in the other corner, there is cab driver Max (Jamie Foxx) and even though he also has dreams, he isn’t quite there yet.  For a thriller of this nature, it is certainly inevitable that their lives intersect.  Before he knows it,…

2020 World Series Champions: Los Angeles Dodgers

2020 World Series Champions: Los Angeles Dodgers, the official World Series film, arrives today on Blu-ray so that fans can relive the Fall Classic. It’s not an unfair statement to say that this year was among the most unique for Major League Baseball.  After baseball shut down in March, nobody knew if the season would ever restart let alone have a postseason.  With outbreaks on the Florida Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals, the postseason felt…

The Nolan Variations by Tom Shone

The Nolan Variations: The Movies, Mysteries, and Marvels of Christopher Nolan is the most in-depth look yet at the blockbuster auteur. Before I start this off, I want to stress my disappointment at seeing the Wachowskis get misgendered during the book’s introduction.  How this gets past the editors and into the final print is beyond me.  This is beyond infuriating! Nolan is in the category that very few filmmakers could ever hope to achieve.  James…

President in Waiting Is A Historic Documentary

President in Waiting, the new film from Jeffrey Roth, is a historic documentary that features the former presidents and vice presidents. All of the six living Vice Presidents make appearances to mark the first time in that they have appeared in such a film.  Maybe not together but I’ll wake it.  Moreover, the four former living presidents are also in the film to discuss their relationships.  There is only one president that does not make…

Warner Bros. To Release In Theaters and HBO Max

Warner Bros. made a big announcement about their 2021 film slate, particularly about how their films will be released. This either becomes the new normal or is a temporary solution until the vaccine is fully rolled out.  Wonder Woman 1984 will be the first WB film to follow this model.  I have bolded the fine print. Today, the Warner Bros. Pictures Group announced that it has committed to releasing its 2021 film slate via a…

When did you first come up with the idea to do this documentary? Jeffrey Roth: Three years ago is when it really stuck in my head and then I decided to move forward at that point.

Godmothered: Disney Brings Fairy Tale Magic

Disney brings the fairy tale magic in Godmothered while managing to provide an update for the whole concept in the 21st century. The thing that they say about opposites attract certainly holds true in this film.  Jillian Bell and Isla Fisher could not be more different in this film.  And yet, the two are made for each other in a cinematic way.  I love what they bring to these characters so much that I watched…
